There's nothing racist about acknowledging cultural differences, or even making claims of superiority of one culture over another. Racism is judging individual people based on their race instead of more substantive criteria, like culture, values, and actions.
Good article. The most relevant quote: "Mr. Landry, the state director of children and family services, said parents and guardians were mistaken if they thought they could walk away from their responsibilities. The courts might even order them to pay child support." Furthermore, Nebraska has since changed the law, as you already noted; they permit only babies up to 30 days old.

You need to check out Spacemacs[1]. It's set up so that as soon as it's installed you can use it efficiently using your vim keys.

It's got a ton of great defaults and I'm considering changing over full-time. I've been using it quite a bit lately and love it so far.

>Monks garden and clean things in part to increase self-awareness and inner tranquility.

I feel somewhat masochistic even uttering this, but I really enjoy pulling weeds by hand.

Please, let me explain why!

I just bought my first house this past year with a lawn that the previous owners left in considerable disrepair.

Weeds... weeds... creeping clovers of all types... and more weeds.

But there was a good 75% grass cover, so it felt wrong to rip it all up and replace it with sod.

We have a dog, and our previous one passed of bladder cancer, so roundup or any other herbicides were completely out of the question.

So I sat on a milk crate, and started digging at the dandelions at first with a garden tool.

That worked well enough.

But I was ripping up a lot of the grass with each punch of the garden tool, so I tried to start ripping them out by hand... and by George by worked!

I was weeding my lawn twice as fast now because I was just grabbing and ripping with my bare hands instead of an awkward tool.

Smiling every time I got the root, and grimacing every time I did not!

I was losing less grass.

But my back hurt.

Sitting on that milk crate and hunching over really did not sit well with my back.

So I tried bending over.

And my back felt great!

A few days later, I noticed a strange pain in my hamstrings.

Lactic acid was building.

But I hadn't been running or cycling or doing any kind of workout recently... or had I?

Bending over and placing your hands to the ground is actually a great stretch that I always considered myself somewhat incapable of doing. And I never did it regularly.

Yet there I was, stretching for an hour a day, out in the open sun and breeze. Hanging out with my dog.

Admiring my progress as the pile of weeds I picked grew, and the ground I stood foot on looked more like a real lawn... I was in heaven.

I now find myself weeding my lawn first thing every morning, before even eating breakfast sometimes.

I'm absolutely loving it.

And I hated doing "yardwork" when I was younger.

Chrome's security policy is surprisingly poor and is the reason why I stay away from most extensions. "Read data from all websites" is like root on the phone. It should be allowed only via deliberate, explicit user action. While this will be an interesting UX challenge, defaulting to domain-specific permissions is the sane thing to do in this age.

Case in point, I don't care about a readability or bookmarking plugin reading a news link, but it shouldn't read my bank page.

This seems very underwhelming, performance seems to be about the same as the Geforce 10 cards... at not much cheaper and higher power consumption.

What's the draw here? The "pleasure" of running AMD's crappy drivers?
EDIT: I see these bundles are definitely to limit demand on the early cards. I expect they will keep miners at bay until they start having volume on the single cards. That's fine.

Single Point calculations per watt or per second are not really the relevant measure for miners, it's all about memory bandwidth.

We will see how these stack up.

I disagree. I'm pretty sure having to pay extra for SMS and limits on the number of messages were things of the distant past before WhatsApp started.
The entire? Not even close. IP law comes into play at times, but I'd wager it affects less than 1 percent of all software written.
I'm not sure what your point is. Do a similar calculation for the ETH difficulty and there are a lot more GPUs mining ETH....which are going to crowd into ZEC and ETC. IF you have 10,000 GPUS mining ETH and you have to move them in a few months, are you going to now be adding another 1,000 GPUS?

I end up using the forums a lot for trying to find info on stuff that is not working, or I don't understand. But it's not an easy platform to find information since it isn't structured well.

Hey there, Reason is a great project! Thanks for working on it!

I actually tried to use it very recently in a new project at my workplace, but unfortunately I decided not to. I found some fundamental things were lacking.

I didn't find documentation about how to interact with npm libraries (e.g. how do I use a websockets library in Reason? Do I have to create my own bindings? If so, how?).

There also seemed to be nothing similar to async/await in Reason/Bucklescript yet and I couldn't find out how to use promises.

I'll definitely reevaluate it in the future. I think it is an awesome project with great potential (along with Bucklescript which is awesome too).
Looks super quacky. US cot deaths have also massively declined, and the trajectory of the decline matches up with the uptake of back sleeping for infants.

> a lot of the benefits of pair programming

So much of the work I do as a programmer does not go into the repository.

Yeah, that's not ideal, but so much of the work I do is in the technique. In the keyboard shortcut, the ~/.bashrc, the discipline of red-green-refactor, of pomodoro.

None of that stuff goes into the pull request, and yet all of it is something my programming pair can experience and learn from. And when I enter an area that's bizarre to me — when I am picking up a new language, a new tool or paradigm — a partner is 1000x more productive than my incessant slacking of code snippets when her explanations easily become demonstrations, and not least of all because it means that helping me is not an interruption to your KPIs.

None of that comes across in a pull request.

Maybe if your work exists entirely within code, within languages that you know, with build toolchains that are done changing, and you're entirely satisfied with your development environment, habits, and methods. In that case, yeah, CI and a little PR review are probably all you need.

Meanwhile, pair programming actually decreases the discipline you need to be a good engineer.

Good points. All I'd like is for a second independent study to (a) confirm that SIDS is indeed solved in NZ (i.e. it's not just some statistical fluke e.g. due to counting methods) and (b) figure out why it works. Whether it's that particular fungus or not I don't care, as long as the wrapping method works. Supporting evidence, e.g. about mattress handling, IMO lines up well with Sprott / Richardson and is unexplained by the skeptics - all in all I just don't like how quickly the medical establishment seems to have closed the books on this.
Ask HN: Why has pg stopped commenting?

This is a sybil attack and it would take wide collusion and would be difficult to pull off, and it would allow you to do what? Reverse some transactions that you had the keys for.

It's really expensive attack to get back the $5 you paid for Starbucks.

So you would want to do it with a multi-million dollar transaction.

However, the thing is, anyone you pay a multi-million dollar transaction to is going to let it clear for more than just one block... probably for many blocks...before handing you the goods.

Because everybody is aware of this risk.

Chains reorganize anyway, just naturally when sometimes two blocks are found within the propagation delay.

Trying to run ahead is very hard.

Wallets like Electrum show one confirmation in red, and several in yellow and only after the chain has gotten extremely expensive to unwind will it show them in green.
It's heavily stepped up lately, folks are just good at policing it. I have dead posts turned on and I usually see at least 2-3 "work from home" scam comments per article.
VENUE – Stop Not Going on Dates.
Venue is a dating app that forces users to actually meet offline.

Users choose from a list of curated local events that they are interested in attending on a night they are free. Next, they have the opportunity to match with others interested in that same event. Finally, you can chat for 24 hours prior to the event and then you meet at the Venue the old-fashioned way, offline.
I'd be quite happy don't my own cooking and letting a maid cleanup. Eating out or take out gets old fast and isn't healthy. There are times I've gone out and wished I hadn't. Travel, waiting, average did - why did I leave and spend way more?

Smothered sweet pork burrito at a chain - $9. Mine come in under $2. Much of it can be frozen in portions for another day.

Smoked pulled pork sandwich at home? $1.50 and again, it is easy to deal and freeze for another day. Add the cost of the smoker and I have to use it quite a bit to "pay it off" with savings.

I need a maid. Meals included.
I agree that at least in the short term traffic may increase a lot. Long commutes may become more acceptable too. I hope that sending your car somewhere will not be too cheap or people may send it on all kinds of not really needed trips.
> This kind of assumes that the attack wouldn't work in the first place, no? If cars are crashing people are going to investigate to figure out why, and even the most thick-skulled beat cop can figure out that stop signs with rando weird ass stickers on them are probably worth running up the chain...

1. That attack may not target only self-driving cars.

2. Imagine someone driving around with some random picture on their car at the back. Except that the picture is an attack.
This would be nice but is it really where things are going?
Do I really know? I'm not sure. I have opinions, but for the most part I was kept in the dark. There was a roadmap handed to me and what was on it was already decided.

We did work on equally important things also, but we also split focus with IMO unimportant things.

A combination of me not having a seat at the table (literally was told this after a year or so) and IMO non-technical leadership driving focus by chasing what they thought were the important factors.

The company survives and does OK though.
> The world is finite. Resources are finite, and infinite expansion is impossible.

If you were right, the $10 trillion China added to its economy annually (you know, just ~$64 trillion of new GDP that didn't exist before, over the next five years) - in just the span of ~16 years, would have had to come out of someone else's pocket, which would have caused extreme collapse in numerous other major economies to make room for it. That of course didn't happen at all, the rest of the globe's GDP expanded along with China in real terms.

For all realistic practical purposes - since we're nowhere near maximum resource utilization - that has yet to be an actual problem and we're up to 7.x billion people now. Every serious problem to that expansion, we've managed to solve, enabling continued expansion (see: we were all supposed to starve to death decades ago).

Back in reality - and out of the realm of theory that only exists in a strict vacuum - Capitalism is the exact opposite of a zero sum game. That has been proven by the radical improvement in living standards at the median for all the developed nations, all of which heavily utilize the free market economic system (including all of the Scandinavian nations, none of which are actually Socialist at all).

If Capitalism were a zero sum game, China would not have just enjoyed the greatest, fastest mass standard of living improvement in world history thanks to its modest adoption of the free market, and its blatant shift away from Statism.

The free market largely won globally, and thanks to that, the world has less poverty, war, violence and starvation than at any other time in history.
I used a housekeeping service for a few months (Handy). The time saved definitely felt worth the money in general. On the other hand, and this is maybe partly my building's arrangement, it also felt like it complicated/constrained life sometimes. I would find myself saying "sorry, I'll skip drinks, I have to get home and let the maid in at 7pm". I also found it a little hard to be fully relaxed while the person was there in the next room. And, one day while on vacation, although I canceled the cleaning for that week, a maid showed up at my apartment, and they made the trip for nothing - I felt bad. Turned out the site had quickly auto-moved the first canceled appointment to a few days later in a pretty misleading way. I got charged and decided to work it out with their customer service. I just pulled up the chain, and it was a 15 email inquiry that took 35 days to resolve. IIRC, a negative Yelp review got things moving again.

So, that's probably not everyone's situation or experience, but it just reiterated that having control and simplicity is nice. Simplicity for some might be not having to clean, but for others it might mean not having to depend on someone else. I can't be my own Verizon or Uber of course, but some things I'm in a good position to provide for myself...
Which is why all these Enterprise software companies are sharing code to build more robust systems right? Systems that never see public licensing are still written under NDAs.
>Likewise, there is no rehabilitative purpose.

I think thats potentially the most important purpose here. The definition being the reintroduction to society, a parent who unintentionally killed their child by locking them in a car needs to go through some sort of treatment, that much is evidenced by the thoughts of suicide the parent developed afterward.

I know HN likes trials and not pleas, but instead of wasting tax payer money on this trial, only for the parent to be found not guilty, they might have cut a plea deal to drop the case upon completion of court ordered therapy and if their are surviving sibilings some parenting classes.
You say "no real purpose" but what you mean is "a purpose I don't value". That's fine, don't do it. The problem comes when you think that people doing things you don't like is somehow wrong.

People have attempted to make scientific computing good for proof of work-- GRIDCoin is an example. But it doesn't work for actually securing the network, due to the nature of how blockchains work.

You're free to work or mine or do whatever you want and then donate that money to scientific research.

But what makes you think you know better how I should spend my money? You don't even know how I'm spending my money.
EDIT: Oops, I didn't initially notice that the chart in the grandparent post actually lists both airbag and heat fatalities...

---

Good question. As of 1996, it was only 21 total, according to the NY Times[1], but more than half of those were killed in the first 9 months of that year.

In 1999, Car and Driver magazine reported a total of 99 child fatalities. So, low "first-few-google-hits" data quality aside, that seems to show a rapidly rising trend[2].

Next, I got to this horrifying article about a University of Georgia study concluding that the government statistics on airbags are wildly wrong and airbags are actually killing us all[3]. (I gave up my research at this point and will sleep better if the next HN reader that comes along with a little time on their hands debunks that as publicity-seeking bad science that's now been discredited...)

TL;DR: I don't mean to be rude, but pretty much everything falls into assuming things that have nothing to do with the point I'm making. You can decide that you have more valuable things to do with your time without any of the other things associated with the poorly-sketched cartoon characters you seem to think people with disposable income are.

> There's a concept called the "hedonistic treadmill", where increasingly expensive and intense thrills are never enough for the people who can afford them. I would argue some people I know are stuck on that. If you can go to the beach you can't go to the nice northern beach, if you can do that you can't do Miami, Miami leads to Thailand, and so on.

You're mixing up two completely different concepts. I know people who are at full-speed on the hedonic treadmill who don't fit what I'm talking about, and plenty of people who fit what I am talking about who have nothing to do with the hedonic treadmill.

I probably fit the concept I'm describing more than anyone I know, and here are a list of some of the cheapest things taking up my time these days, along with the weekly cost:

1) playing and writing music - less than $2/wk[1]
2) learning another language - free
3) reading all kinds of reference/nonfiction/fiction books - free/extremely cheap (library + used books + exchanging with friends)
4) Playing sports, weightlifting, running in the park or along the water - free + $15/wk gym membership + free
5) Hiking - free if you have a car, or $70/hike

I don't intend this in an insulting way, but is it possible that you're falling prey to the typical-mind fallacy and assuming that things are universal when they're really just facets of your personality (and perhaps your circles)?

> It's weird to see so many super wealthy people dedicating so much time to super luxurious forms of meditation with gurus, wearing white spandex or whatever, when one can achieve a pretty solid trance-like state and think about their day while doing rote mechanical chores like cleaning and cooking.

Seriously, it sounds like you get your perception of people who pay for menial services from cartoons and Gawker blogs. I like cooking, but I don't find any other menial tasks to be enjoyable: I pay to have my laundry done and for my house to be cleaned, and Uber when I don't have time to take transit (even though I prefer the subway). I also have an 80% savings rate, most of my hobbies cost ~$0

The issue is that such websites come to be abused and people upload copyrighted material (like youtube). Then the record company sues and the website cannot stay alive any longer.

The email was clearly not professionally written or machine-generated (note the comma inside the quotation marks around the app name; the oblique "fix the issue" doesn't seem like the right expression to match "did not comply with our program policies"), the ID is clearly non-random (a cluster of keys on the left-hand side of a QWERTY keyboard interspersed with a cluster of keys on the right-hand side, as you would get if you mashed keys randomly) and then there's of course the URL shortener link.

Who said people want such an disruption? They want electric cars. They want self-driving cars. They want to own OR lease OR rent cars. Have you missed the "own car" portion? I for one want to own my car, as I can do the math, it's cheaper and I can sleep in peace. This smearing campaigns to lobby for change society to take them away cars and promote "cars as a service" (aka rent) as only option is very disgusting. I know it's their wet dream - just go away.
