>Can you buy human breats milk

Yes - though it's a caveated "yes". In some places, selling human milk is illegal - but sharing it is not.
This experiment in crypto currency has made me see the value in fiat money, which is probably the opposite of the desired effect.

At the end of they day, these digital monetary schemes have become less of a currency and more of a commodity.

Can someone explain to me why I should be less jaded about crypto currencies?
Not legally. There are underground exchanges and black markets, etc. La Leche League can hook you up.
Asians who eat much soy probably have evolved a different response to it than other populations. Similar to how northern Europeans evolved better lactose digestion than the rest of the world.
I agree 100%. No kids do what you gotta do, but kids changes the game.
It was bank-wide activity with defined schedule etc.
Contrarian view: don't spend time automating things. Spend any extra time you have selling and building the product people need. If someone needs your product, they'll probably be fine with an invoice.

Spend the early mornings before work prospecting and reaching out to potential customers. If you're on the west coast, even better because you can conduct sales calls with east coast people who are already at work.

After work, you can check-in and see if anyone got back to you.

Track it all in a Trello board or spreadsheet.

I highly recommend reading Predictable Revenue and putting as many of its practices in place as you can.
Bitcoin Cash also has a rule that a specific block (the first one after a specific date and time) MUST be larger than 1 megabyte. If that specific block is smaller, it's not a valid Bitcoin Cash blockchain.

Since that specific block is smaller than 1 megabyte in the main Bitcoin blockchain (because the maximum block size for Bitcoin is 1 megabyte), the current Bitcoin blockchain is not a valid Bitcoin Cash blockchain.
Note that Bitstamp, another large exchange, took a similar stance as Coinbase and has issued an update stating customers will receive their BHC balance:

https://www.bitstamp.net/article/bitcoin-cash-our-position/

For those of our customers who chose to leave their BTC on our platform at the time of the fork, we recorded their BCH balances for the timestamp of the last common block (block 478558), which is 1 August 2017, 13:16:14 UTC.

These BCH balances will be made available to our customers as soon as it is safe to do so. If and when the Bitcoin Cash system has been thoroughly tested and is sufficiently stable, we will then consider listing BCH. However, a series of technical, safety and regulatory requirements need to be met in order for this to occur, and it is still too early in the day to make realistic predictions about the timeframes involved.
Since Griggs. [0] You can't do broad-based testing such as IQ or IQ-proxies (SAT or ACT). This is why companies have shifted to hiring based on degrees.

Not sure why there's so much hype. Of course the price is going to be up, there's not enough BCH to be traded so naturally the demand will cause the price to go up temporarily.
That's a CRTC ruling designed to promote Canadian content. It's a protectionist measure because the US is right next door. It has helped artists get exposure. Stills shitty when a third of the radio content is the same stuff all the time.
It's pretty common knowledge that soy contains phytoestrogens, which behave similar to estrogen.
Yes.

> Even with that aside, though, most websites nowadays already run to some extent on untrusted hardware (thanks to JavaScript), thus warranting measures to handle untrustworthy IPC.

From a security perspective it is a very bad idea to rely on untrusted data (i.e. that only passed "client validation", but is not validated again on the server). In other words: If the client tampers with some of its data, only it itself should be affected from any problems that this causes.
SEEKING WORK - Portland, OR or Remote

I'm a polyglot, full-stack developer with 17 years experience. My specialties are Rails, Postgres, Chef, and Angular/Ember/Vue, although I've done a lot of Java and Python too. I am reliable, easy to work with, quick to turn things around, and a good communicator. I can work solo or on a team, either as lead or a team member. I value client satisfaction as highly as technical excellence.

What Chinese Govt. says is much more important than Chinese morals and culture.
Because this 30% can't hire themselves, and they need companies to participate. This is a two-sided market, and "Companies willing to go out of their way to hire more felons" _is_ something of a niche market (unfortunately, given that the status quo is probably significant underhiring of people with records, to everyone's detriment).
If I were a potential employer and I found out that you posted something saying that dishonest CV writing is a nearly ubiquitous phenomenon, I would never hire you..... maybe you should not leave this comment up, if there's a chance that people in your professional sphere know your HN username.

It's not just one gene, it's two. I toggle them back and forth all the time. A third one gives me gills.

Seriously? Why wouldn't you make that leap? and why would you assume they would presume to know what gene or if it was even one gene?
Ask HN: Why do dynamic languages dominate server-side web development?
Another way of wording this question is: why are there so few AOT (ahead of time) compiled languages being used for server-side web development?

Perceptions of popular dynamic languages (Python, PHP, Ruby):

- less verbose and less typing than strongly-typed compiled languages

- interactive shell encourages fast prototyping and fast development

- comprehensive internet-related libraries: a huge time-saver. (This isn't an intrinsic feature of these languages, but a huge part of their appeal. Is it the principle reason for their success?)

Perceptions of statically compiled languages (excluding languages that require a Virtual Machine):

- More verbose, more declarations, a feeling of being more constrained (this can be seen as both good or bad)

- Single executable with no external dependencies = simple and (possibly) easy installation compared to dozens or hundreds of tiny script files

- compile-and-run cycle slows down development (But does it really? Compilation speeds for many languages have been blazingly fast stretching back many years. And separate compilation of modules has been around for decades too.)

- low-memory consumption and fast speed of execution (relative to dynamic languages)

Low-memory usage and speed of execution are often dismissed as of lesser importance but they do make a difference. For example, Badoo (a dating/social network site) switched from PHP 5.5 to PHP 7 and saw their server costs shrink dramatically due to lower memory usage [1]. So speed and memory usage matter. But, of course, "developer productivity" matters too. And there's a strong sentiment that dynamic languages make you more productive.

Of compiled AOT languages, only Go seems to be making an impact. But otherwise server-side web development has been thoroughly conquered by dynamic languages. Is that domination a good thing?

Yes, Coinbase should be required to support disbursal for every one, with the proviso that it either passes a certain price or passes a number of customers who want to withdraw it.
I stand corrected. That machine is built to resist without doubt. :-)

> Somewhere along the line we had a robot that I don't think is made any more, but it had a paper disk with two channels of information for driving the two wheel motors, and you programmed it with a black crayon.

Sounds like one of the old OWI MOVIT robots - they used to sell a version (I think it is discontinued but still available from some vendors) called the "Binary Player Robot Kit". It doesn't look the same as the original version in the 1980s, but the internal circuitry is probably identical.
Curious as to why he left, but in the scheme of things, how much does this matter I wonder? In terms of all the essential components, I assume everything is mostly completed, where the process engineers can handle basically everything now.

Not really. Keep up with that american style arrogance though.
A number of studies conclude that taxi drivers have fewer accidents, per mile, than the general population - at least in the US. I've not seen studies for elsewhere, though they probably exist.
Some of the books people often think are suitable for children are pretty disturbing, too, such as Grimms' Fairy Tales.

When these are adapted for cartoons by Disney and others they are usually greatly sanitized. A parent who remembers those adaptations and thinks that is what they are getting when they get the original book versions is in for a surprise.

They are full of stories of people who are cruel and who cheat and abuse the weak and innocent, and in the end...that works out great for them and they get everything they wanted.

An exercise that stuck with me from when I was in 4th grade or so was when everybody in the class had to write down instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and then the teacher would follow the instructions very literally and see how close everybody could get to a sandwich.

Of a class of like fifteen kids, I believe I was one of the only kids to end up with something that was recognizably a sandwich (slice of bread with jelly on a crumb face, slice of bread with peanut butter on crumb face, slices put together such that the edges of the two slices line up and the peanut butter and jelly are on the inside as opposed to the outside).

Dunno anyone from India who gets excited by the idea of beaches and relaxed pace of life. If anything then these places are ALL about relaxed pace of life.

Maybe to Eastern Europeans beaches might be enticing, but definitely not to the Indians.

BSNL seems to have blocked port number 22 nationwide in India
The default port for SSH is port number 22 and BSNL a state-owned telecommunications company in India seems to have blocked this port number nationwide. It seems they have done this in wake of a malware attack on their ADSL modems in India. Developers using BSNL are having a hard time.
Ironic considering the username. In most people's instances, I wouldn't consider this a good idea. At least until you've shown good traction for a few months of adding new customers.
Now CS61A can finally go back to teaching purely in Scheme again.
I don't know why, but people always seem to forget that optimization is an important topic in machine learning that requires study. Boyd's book is the canonical source (and free online). If you want to get some functional analysis background at the same time, you can look at Optimization by Vector Space Methods. It's an older book but it is still worth a read and provides more theoretical foundations than Boyd.
It's not that these degrees are required, it's that candidates are expected to have degrees from specific schools such as Harvard. That's what makes it class signalling. You could be a business genius but if you went to a low-tier state school you're not getting hired at the big Manhattan bank.
Originally it was the idea that an on-demand app was going to revolutionize taxis.

Now it seems to be, avoiding regulation for fun & profit.
Its niche because the idea can be easily replicated by the incumbents in the industry. And it will be hard to scale at a global scale because the perception about ex-cons varies a lot in different countries.

As such the profits wont be able to keep up with VCs expectations if they invest 100s of millions of dollars. OP has a great first mover advantage and knowledge of the market, and they can capitalize that but the idea isn't worth billions.
D's GC is designed in such a way that's it's very easy to avoid. It only operates when allocating, if you want it to not collect from a thread just disconnect that thread from the runtime.

Using a GC does not constitute not worrying about memory!

There is no official way to use D; the only real problem with not using the GC now is safety (Exceptions pass pointers and can therefore leak across library boundaries).
It's both better and worse than that. The photos of the job seekers are all African Americans, yes. But there is a photo that includes white men and even two white women: It's behind the "Employers" heading most of the way down the main page. Yikes.
I can tell you from my experience as somebody that never liked Apple products, those Apple earbuds are popular because they are cheap and good, having an insane quality/price ratio.

I have an Android phone right now, but I'm using Apple earbuds, even though the volume controls don't work.
To stop spread and misuse of this research, never make a Chinese as part of this scientific committee. See how they helped spread the nuclear arsenal.
Really? It's explicitly stated in the very first paragraph, in the second sentence:

> Not the lumps of mush and ice that children chuck at each other, but Amazon’s portable information storage devices, big grey suitcases that hold huge amounts of data.

Capitalizing it might have helped, though.
Solids and water?
Great advice that has worked for me and my teammates. I have hired remote people before, and fired them all in the first year. I have two remote employees that worked in the office for a year before going remote that do great work.
There are a few projects on my github (elfsternberg) that I've used Hy for.

One thing that I've also done is write the first draft in Hy, and then used Hy2Py to generate the version that I'm going to publish. This does result in a lot of compiling-by-hand, but the end product is often surprisingly robust.

On the other hand, it's also very (!) un-pythonic. Hy discourages classes in favor of closures, like Scheme, so I end up with a lot of nested sub-functions. My project git-linter looks like that. Hy encourages highly functional thinking, and git-linter is just that: the inputs are things like the configuration file, available linters, the command line, and (depending on the command) either the output of a "git-status --porcelain" or just "find . -type f"; the output is a report on the various outputs of the linters. It's a very straightforward map/reduce/filter, so no object-orientated code at all was required.

To an engrained Pythonista who must make a class for every last step, this land-of-verbs approach tends to look strange.
The entire thing is full of puns really too much of puns related to hy. Cool project. Python joined Erlang and Java with a lisp flavour of its own with Hy. Hope we get a let expression soon.
Is anyone elses reaction "What will they think of next?"

Anyone also surprised at the scope of positive and admission-comments?

Anyway, best of luck!!

Absolutely, include those too. I'm not taking sides on the "Is AI Evil or not" argument, I'm just saying look at all the evidence and speculation.

I live in Chicago, and my experience with rideshare drivers has been uniformly good. Many of them genuinely enjoy driving. Some can be opportunistic but I guess my baseline for city driving was shaped in cities where the traffic is much worse than Chicago's (try Sao Paulo). I actually think Chicago drivers are ok.

The worst drivers are cab drivers in the Loop during rush hour who will honk at the slightest provocation, who don't use turn signals, and will suddenly stop in front of you. If Chicago cab drivers are trained, that training certainly isn't evident.

On the other hand, Lyft drivers have stars docked if they exhibit unsafe driving behaviors, and they are deactivated if their rating gets too low (4.6 stars is the threshold I believe).

Many non-casual Lyft drivers actually try not to crash their ratings.

Cabs don't have this feedback loop. Only accidents will get them off the road.

Edit: I speak as a driver and a passenger. I imagine things have gotten worse for bicyclists. Also, I don't use Uber, only Lyft. I've heard Uber drivers are worse because Uber is more liberal with their rating system.

The OP specifies only "criminal record", which may include both misdemeanors and felonies, with varying degrees of each.

Some employers care about any criminal record at all, while others care about felony convictions only. The website itself only mentions "criminal record" and "formerly incarcerated".

Perhaps it would be prudent to make filtering easy for "misdemeanors only" jobs and "former felons wanted" jobs?
