I agree with you that a situation where a real life extension technology was available but costly—especially if it required tissue from young people—would be pretty terrible.

I'm a Web developer and I could manage my own blog site but I choose not to as it would be one more site I have to maintain. I'd rather put that time into building the product for my company or sleeping/doing something else.

To suggest that any half way decent programmer should do that is the same as suggesting you write all your css from scratch instead of using a front end library to help. Doable but ultimately is it the best use of your time?
child abandonment

Section 218 of the Criminal Code requires intent to abandon the child. (And also reasonable foreseeability that danger would result.)

criminal negligence

Section 219 requires wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other persons.

failing to provide necessaries of life

Section 215 requires a marked departure from the conduct of a reasonably prudent person in similar circumstances.
What is the goal of these trainings? To get a taste so you understand the conversation? There is a lot more to data science than neural networks, and I'm skeptical that teaching one family of models will create a set of implementers that don't compare and contrast solutions.
I can't get into details, but I worked at a place that was thinking about opening up some development for open source publishing. Another team was working on some very high-end algorithmic work in a specialized field and the company was pumping lots of money into internal R&D for that group. They were selected as an open source test case.

They pushed up their code to github and within a few months a group of them had left the company to form a boot-strapped competitor using their same code -- essentially using the open source publication of their tools as a way to legally ex-filtrate corporate IP -- a nightmare scenario for many companies (and also recently in the news i.e. Uber v Waymo).

This one act burned all open source publishing plans to the ground and now that company open sources as little software as possible. Now, several years later, they haven't published a single line of open source code that I'm aware of.
No. An absolute liability offense is unconstitutional if the maximum penalty is incarceration; this can't be dodged by simply not asking for that penalty to be applied.

dbeaver: Proposal for a Postgresql DB client
> We need something that tunnels over HTTPS/Websockets, and utilizes domain fronting [1] with e.g. Google Cloud or Azure. Ideally it'd also work over WebRTC in unreliable mode, but I'm not sure that works with domain fronting.

The Tor Browser already comes with the meek transport[1] that uses domain fronting, one with Amazon and the other with Azure. There's also a recent PT titled snowflake[2], that uses WebRTC to connect to short lived proxies that people can make by just running some JS code in their browser, it's currently available in the alpha builds for Linux and Mac.

Note that meek is expensive, and the Tor Project pays for each byte. It should only be used when no other PT works.

Openvpn over stunnel can somewhat already do this, albeit at a performance hit.
It means it was once required.
Look to the platforms terms of service. It is likely explained in their TOS that you are utilizing their platform only and that they have zero responsibility for your support of a project. In short, buyer beware. It is a risk when you prepay for a product that has not yet been manufactured from any platform.

There have been a number of failed/undelivered products on sites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo but there have also been a number of successful projects. These sites leave due diligence to the customers. Unfortunately you are not alone in pointing out the number of projects that are not completed or completed with subpar materials.

I uninstalled PgAdmin4 after multiple attempts to use it. I'm not sure what all the errors are, but it even goes so far as to block system updates with all the mixed up dependencies.

PgAdmin3 still works great, and I see no reason to move from it, but for me, Emacs + postgres is great for building up tables and procedures, pgsql is great for admin, and PgAdmin is great for data inspection. I really wish all of this was unified in one environment, but nearly nothing works globally.

Bandcamp's aesthetic has always been pretty minimal. I remember an obscure interview podcast I wish I could find now where one of the founders talked about their philosophy of not trying to splash a "brand" all over everything, so the artists felt more like they owned the look of their pages.
What to Do with Your Bitcoin Ahead of Segwit Activation on First August
jph00, I found the first course hard to follow because of some broken links and poorly organized content. One link that was necessary kept taking me to a password protected page. This is about a month ago.

It would be good if someone could revisit part.1 and make those minor editorial fixes if they haven't already done so.

I might be being too precious about my time, but I also found the first video about your teaching philosophy somewhat gratuitous; I wish I hadn't watched it.
I once enabled noprocrast here, that was hell
Hello - I haven't got any relation to this project but I feel that it needs to be more know to HN users because I've stumbled a lot of times on people requiring a good Postgresql Client (especially after the release of PgAdmin 4). I propose to try dbeaver. It is open source, works for other databases beyond Postgresql (but the main problem was with postgresql lacking a good client) and, imho is really great!
Call me old fashioned or stupid (just not nostalgic, the best I ever owned was Pegasus, a hardware clone of a NES/Famicon) but whenever I see these issues with older Sony or Nintendo stuff I a in awe.

I recall JDBC clients have a problem with magic dollar-quotes ($$), which creates massive issues, especially when working with procedures and JSON. I ran into that issue when I tried Squirrel, does DBeaver run into this issue?

Doesn't that mean we should do away with involuntary manslaughter? After all, the perpetrator of a murder may claim it was an accident. Of course, you can try to prove that it was intentional - but the same applies here.
Do you have a photo of you with a pack of cigarettes that you could access now? Probably not because if you dont smoke you probably dont carry them often enough to be photographed doing so.

Also the guy has an iron cross tattoo on the colours of the Confederate flag and an SS tattoo right next to it. Sometimes you should judge people by how they present themselves because that is how they want you to see them.

If these two turned up at my house for a babysitting gig I would judge them as unsuitable to be around my children, so in this instance my point remains, shitty parents usually end up rasing shitty kids that turn into shitty adults and yes in this situation you can tell when you look at them that their child is probably not going to be a net benefit to society.

This is known as the Pigou-Knight-Downs Paradox (or Downs-Thomson Paradox). Building new roads creates its own demand. Congestion is a function of the speed of alternative modes of transport, rather than road capacity. This is because when you build a new road that improves journey time, it becomes more appealing to drive. Congestion increases to the point when it becomes quicker to get public transport instead of driving. If you want to cut congestion, don't build roads, build railways.
With fairly little, or even with none?
I go through this chain of logic every so often:

What are the chances that anything only exists right now, and that this experience I'm having is 'special' in some way (e.g. significantly more likely to be occurring)? At first, it's fairly high.

Then, by thinking about all the other things in my memory, the probability of the experience being 'special' or 'more likely to be occurring' in some way significantly decreases. Why would my memory be complicated enough in a 'special' world to remember details about totally mundane things that seem to have happened a long time ago?

Both before and after the chain, I'm in the real-world state of mind. But during it, very fundamental probabilities shift. Am I being irrational here?

Tangential, but something that gives me a lot of respect for philosophers and psychonauts is that any significant discovery you make affects your world view irreversibly (unless you are good at selective denial). If you're happy with your current world view, and there's a chance that you would make a discovery that makes you unhappy, isn't it a mistake to keep going? But as a human, maybe part of what keeps you happy is that uninhibited, unworried revealing of new experiences.
> As someone with some relevant industry experience, I can tell you that nearly 0 professional screenwriters or development executives are consciously sticking to a rigid structure as prescribed by some book.

I'd like to take your word for that, but numerous other insiders have said the opposite, and also noted a significant convergence around Snyder's precise timing breakdown since the book was published.

> The three act structure is, at the most basic level, just the series of beginning, middle, and end. Of course any movie has these sections by necessity

Traditional three act structure is more specific than that, it specified in broad terms what happens in each part, and, no, it's not fundamentally essential; there are other story forms, though they are rarely used in well-funded American feature films.

I have run side-by-side tests with the same site exposed both over http and https from a very performant CDN, and right now Google showed the http site on a simple search, not https, for example.

I don't believe that any penalty is currently significant, nor likely to be soon. There's plenty of good historic sites which SEs don't want to exclude just because someone doesn't have the resources to rework them and keep them maintained with the latest TLS. (Note issues like embedded http resources that would all have to transitively converted to avoid warnings.)
Having a Webserver is not that simple. Even if you knew HTML and CSS good enough to make decent looking blog, there are many things that are not so simple:

- installing the basics. Why would I know if I should use Apache or Nginx. The internet is no help for that and while both are easy to use, it is not obvious how to publish a blog. You might also need other systems such as a MySQL db if you want to use Wordpress to publish. And I wouldn't expect a Postgres to know how to use MySQL

- securing the server. I would not expect everyone to know how to secure a server. There are some many things that are hard. Even iptables is not easy if you use it for the first time (don't get my started on firewalld). More advanced things such as AppArmour or SELiunx are freaking overwhelmingly when you use it for the fist time and only use a shell. Those things take time to learn and get right. It is useless if you set up the ip tables correctly but save them incorrectly so they flush after a reboot.

- keeping the server up to date. It requires discipline to active look for updates and act once they are discovered. Why would a embedded programmer want to bother.

- price: while 5 bucks is not much for many of us, it adds up, Especially when you have many such little things. Secondly, such a cheap server might not be enough. You need backups which requires additional work. Furthermore, if you do not use a static website, the hacker news front page could quickly overwhelm such a little server (it might even be hard with a static website).

These are all reasons why one should not use their own server for that. If you want to learn a lot about web servers, having a blog is a good and valuable start but I would never expect anyone to do that

They made me a moderator on /r/digitalnomads after I launched Nomad List because the old mod quit and there was nobody left I think. Then I kept posting my own products (like I did before). But there was an obvious conflict of interest there, so I gave up mod status after it came up in the thread around 2015 I think. It wasn't some secret masterplan, but might seem like it indeed.

Ah nice, I didn't know meek does domain fronting too, and thanks for mentioning snowflake.
It depends what your infrastructure consists of. If it's a db with infrequent writes it's going to be a lot easier to move than a db with a lot of writes.

You could also host on VPS and use parts of AWS e.g. S3 if you require asset storage, like photos, videos or other files.

Do you have much insight into what your infrastructure will look like at the start?
Why capitalism can’t survive without socialism
> On the phone from London, the author told National Geographic how he was inspired by his Irish uncle, who ran in the Olympics, and why he believes running barefoot is more natural—and less likely to result in injury.

I stopped reading right here. Ask a podiatrist if they've seen a rise in plantar fasciitis as a result of barefoot running. Not everyone has the biomechanics to jump into barefoot running[1]. Not everyone who has the biomechanics can simply transition to barefoot running[2] - you have to ease into it[3].

As soon as you assign species-wide labels and claim something is wrong, assume it's a clickbaity title that will likely follow Betteridge's Law of Headlines.

"It doesn't want a true humanitarian disaster on scales rarely seen before in history."

The entire population of North Korea is about 25 million people. Famine during the "Great Leap Forward" killed somewhere between 15 and 55 million people, while 3-5 million died by violence. You can't make an omelette in China without killing a million people.

China does not want Korean refugees. And North Korea is a dandy client state to have around. But pulling the plug on North Korea wouldn't be a disaster on scales seen in the last century.
By definition, there will be less money for non-mainstream anything, unless the target audience happens to be particularly rich.

I guess I'm failing to understand what your vision of a better music market would look like. Can you describe it?
>When you run barefoot, or in a pair of ultra-light "shoes" like Vibrams, you learn very quickly not to do that, or you stop running. The "right" way is to land on the ball of the foot, with the knee slightly bent. The knee bends further to dissipate the force of the landing. This is how evolution "meant" for us to do it.

There's more to it than that. Please make sure that you are pushing off with your heel. Many people assume that barefoot running is the same as running on the balls of your feet, but if, after your toes touch, you aren't subsequently landing and pushing off with your heel, you are likely to injure yourself, and more seriously than if you didn't barefoot run at all. The small, delicate toes in the forefoot are not meant to handle the load of landing and takeoff.

FYI: This movement doesn't feel natural or normal for most people until they have tried it a bunch - the muscles and flexibility for it aren't there. It took me about six weeks of practice, but I was not a particularly frequent runner - mostly because of the knee pain of running 'normally'. The pain was eliminated by running barefoot instead.
Its funny you say that, I am a tolerant person. That doesn't mean I cannot hold an opinion on these people. Do you think they are tolerant people? Is it the Confederate flag tattoo or the Nazi SS tattoo that conveys their tolerance to you?

Have you ever seen a child that is living with parents like these? It's not a happy life, it's not good for the child and the best you can hope is that the child is nothing like the parents. It is very sad to know that in many cases they will not be much different to their parents and will likely raise their children in a similar way. Being tolerant doesn't mean being blind to the reality of these situations.
> In the best case of implementation, it's still not even beneficial to the common tax payer.

The point of the Hyperloop is to be better for the tax payer than the proposed rail system [0]:

> Hyperloop transit system concept which [Elon Musk] claimed would travel over three times as fast and cost less than a tenth of the rail proposal

So in the best case implementation it would be beneficial to the tax payer.

Also Musk's point was for the US to be pushing to improve technology, rather than watching the French, Germans, Japanese and Chinese do it. Were the proposals on a similar level to the Japanese Maglev trains [1] that are coming online at a similar time, then people would be less interested in the Hyperloop.

The Maglev trains can run at 314mph max vs 220 max, but even with a completely new technology and with 86% of the new line will be through tunnels - it's going to be a comparable cost (roughly 2x more expensive per mile by my calculations). [1]

One small datapoint, Johnson's war on poverty included maybe the regulatory capture of the single mother having food without a male [food stamps].

Not to disparage the program, maybe its implementation as of now vs what was forseen.

Why? Because of big pharma?

People sacrifice their lives for their children, do you think the law will really restrict people from saving/improving their children's lives. You think the law would be enough to stop you from saving/improving your own life?

1. Insurance. As soon as it is cheaper to keep people young as compared to keep elder people healthy/alive, insurance companies will hand out these procedures like candy.

2. Medical tourism. IP is only valid within a certain jurisdiction. Reverse engineering a cocktail of molecules is not easy but well within reason. Manufacturering said molecules is ridiculously cheap. Even training professionals in other countries is relatively cheap.

3. Black market. If any white hat leaks these formulas or recreates them. If I chose to I can buy clean heroin from a reputable dealer online. You think I wont be able to get a life saving drug for the cost of manufacturing+tiny margin?

FWIW, this is already commonplace for a lot of poor people and their "restricted" access to expensive drugs.
Can't say I disagree with him on that
> If you're a halfway decent programmer, deploying a simple blog is trivial.

The first thing a halfway decent programmer learns is to not reinvent the wheel. I could implement some json library, but I have better things to do. I could deploy and manage wordpress, but that would be a waste of my time.

This relates to a post from the last couple days where a potential game programmer got lost in some random issue instead of focusing on making a fun game. When blogging, content should be the focus, not managing a website.
Ask HN: AI / ML Researchers, is AI a threat or not?
I'm have some CS training and have worked in the fringes of AI, but nothing deeply theoretical. Really smart people have occupied both sides of the argument, and I'm not sure who to believe.

The most viable argument I've heard for it is the difficulty in providing all possible constraints to narrow the path of optimization (so as to accommodate human norms). I.e. Facebooks negotiating bot developing their own language.

And for people saying it's not an issue for the next decade, I don't get this argument. Saying this is not the equivalent of saying it's not dangerous at all. In fact, the same could be said for global warming, could it not?

Plz enlighten me
> Am I being irrational here?

Not so much irrational as not particular enough; this line of reasoning doesn't really work.

The thing is ... at any one instant, the amount of memory you are able to recall / visualize / etc is very small, and if your mind is occupied by that thought, you won't have any thoughts about the present simultaneously. It is only the apparent continuity of time that seems to link these things.

So when you say "thinking about all the other things in my memory", well, you can't experience all the things that are supposedly in your memory. You can only experience one small part of that at any time. If there is only one time, then the other stuff does not exist, you just have confidence that it exists for some reason.
