This is absolutely not true. A common and unfortunately widespread misconception by many in the beekeeping world and it's unfortunate these ideas persist.

This is a landmark census of a known population of feral bees before and after Varroa introduction: ~25 years apart [1]. The evolved methods of this particular group for Varroa defense are not the typical methods (hygienic behavior) that are seen with modern treatment-free survivor bees. There are now known to be a diverse array of natural methods that honeybees survive in the wild against Varroa. A couple of very recent papers survey these [2][3]. The last 5-10 years have seen an explosion of primary literature research on the topic, as well as queen breeders all over NA producing bees with genetic traits that allow them to survive without our help. You may also want to peruse this recent and passionate plea from one of the top honeybee researches in the world to move towards beekeeping methods that let bees better survive in the wild and stop circumventing their efforts [4].

Honeybees survive in the wild in North America despite beekeeper activities, not because of them.

> This episode, and previous ones with NumPy, Octave and other open-source projects have got me thinking: would it be worth adopting Swedish-style radical transparency and publishing a project's financial status and balance in a standardized format, so that it could become a standard item in a Github repo?

This is a great idea, particularly if there were some way for solo maintainers to flag/indicate that they're having financial problems and so close to abandoning the OS project for a better-paying job. Many widely-used OS projects are not run by not-for-profits but rather by individuals.

But I really like the idea of a standard financial report in the github repo, are there any existing standards we could use for this? Like from the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or similar?

If this catches on, there could even be an aggregator website that publishes monthly reports of all participating open source projects' financial status, with charts, flourishing projects, projects in distress, etc, and links for potential donors to click to donate.

The president of the United States is not, and never has been, elected by popular vote.

In fact, virtually no Western democracy chooses its leader on the basis of a popular vote (I believe there are a few exceptions).

It's sophistry to even bring it up.

I mean, sorry to step on your narrative by pointing out this basic fact.

You guys do know that even if our government operated like Canada, or Sweden, or any of the other countries you profess to admire, that Hillary Clinton still wouldn't be President, right? In fact, under a parliamentary system, the President would be chosen by insider dealing between party hacks like McConnell, Ryan, etc.
Before all the thought experiments, which I'm sure will ensue below, I just want to ask. Is it possible that men and women are actually different?

The rest is passive junk that's probably about 25¢.

That's more than $5, but this is what 120 seconds of searching on AliExpress turned up.

Software is where a lot of the value comes from. I assume it's using a clever hack like http://dmitry.gr/index.php?r=05.Projects&proj=11.%20Bluetoot...
Regular stocks almost always go up after a split, due to price anchoring. Doesn't that throw up a red flag about the stock market? That's not how healthy markets work...

Seriously, though, there's all sorts of weird psychological stuff like that going on in all markets. This isn't really any stranger. (Plus, the $700 seems to be illusory. Hardly anyone (or no one) managed to sell them at that price.)
But it's always living in the past. It would be more useful if I could adjust or direct it more purposefully.
Oh, but they can. Here's what this whole drama has proven:

Any one can fork a coin. Then attach a significant market value to the given fork by promoting it heavily. Or if required they can do it after the fact - They can be on the buy-side and creating an ever increasing bid to pump the fork.

As for the support, you will have human greed play a big role. Everyone holding x coin gets 1 x coin + 1 fork coin with significant value which means it will create some market as well as intice miners to mine a coin with much smaller difficulty.
> It's really puzzling why everyone keeps hosting their projects in us-east-1.

I've been using Amazon for 4 years, and this is the first time I hear their us-east-1 is more "cutting edge" and less reliable than all the other zones. This isn't even listed on their page describing these zones: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-reg...

Felon here! I'm in a similar circumstanc. Four felony convictions to be specific, 1x drug possession (adderall) 3x trafficking marijuana (same case, multiple counts). I was certainly guilty on all counts. Lost my job after employer found out about the first felony probation (adderall), made some severely short-sighted decisions to supplement my income (traffic marijuana). Anyways it's late and I have company, but TLDR: Job hunting as a felon(for any reason, most don't care to understand the details) it's much more limiting than I would have ever anticipated.

OP: Thanks for starting this, good luck, I've been thinking about doing something similar for a while now!
Also, the US felt a strong, capitalist Japan would be less likely to fall prey to communism.
Gun regulations and drug bans do not stop the worst of the worst from getting their hands on those things. They will literally manufacture their own guns and drugs if they have to (see marijuana grow ops and this Vice article on cartel gun makers https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/78xa99/the-cartel...). Banning encryption will not stop the underbelly of society from using it either. They'll just hire some black hats to build it for them.

This is terrible for the users but hardly surprising.

I know it's not a popular opinion but some of the laws setup around service industries like hotels, taxis, etc, are for the protection of the user from potentially dangerous providers.

"Ripe for disruption" is just "lots of laws we can ignore"
Speaking personally and for many of the atheists that I know, none of us will begrudge someone finding something, religion or otherwise, that gives them comfort and strengthens them through the hardships of life. In fact I'm often jealous that that kind of answer doesn't work for me the way it does for others. My spiritual journey has been much more challenging.

We will, however, begrudge them proselytizing their religion, claiming or implying a greater claim to morality based on their religious beliefs or advocating public policy based on the tenets of their faith.
What have people been experiencing with K8s 1.7? For me it's been nothing but RBAC issues everywhere (Granted, I'm upgrading from 1.5 so it's kinda my own damn fault).
"But I prefer here to stick to a strictly logical line of distinction, and insist that whereas in all previous persecutions the violence was used to end our indecision, the whole point here is that the violence is used to end the indecision of the persecutors. This is what the honest Eugenists really mean, so far as they mean anything. They mean that the public is to be given up, not as a heathen land for conversion, but simply as a pabulum for experiment. That is the real, rude, barbaric sense behind this Eugenic legislation. The Eugenist doctors are not such fools as they look in the light of any logical inquiry about what they want. They do not know what they want, except that they want your soul and body and mine in order to find out. They are quite seriously, as they themselves might say, the first religion to be experimental instead of doctrinal. All other established Churches have been based on somebody having found the truth. This is the first Church that was ever based on not having found it.

There is in them a perfectly sincere hope and enthusiasm; but it is not for us, but for what they might learn from us, if they could rule us as they can rabbits. They cannot tell us anything about heredity, because they do not know anything about it. But they do quite honestly believe that they would know something about it, when they had married and mismarried us for a few hundred years. They cannot tell us who is fit to wield such authority, for they know that nobody is; but they do quite honestly believe that when that authority has been abused for a very long time, somebody somehow will be evolved who is fit for the job. I am no Puritan, and no one who knows my opinions will consider it a mere criminal charge if I say that they are simply gambling. The reckless gambler has no money in his pockets; he has only the ideas in his head. These gamblers have no ideas in their heads; they have only the money in their pockets. But they think that if they could use the money to buy a big society to experiment on, something like an idea might come to them at last. That is Eugenics."

G.K. Chesterton, Eugenics and other Evils.

I recommend reading this book, as Chesterton was one of the few voices against Eugenics in its prime, and the arguments still are good.
I doubt that. They very much want to read people's email, etc. At a minimum, they want to do it to find terrorists. The maximum is just corrupt without bound.
For all the good press PDF is still a bitch to work with when trying make end to end workflows (particularly if you want to avoid opening acrobat or something).
Autocomplete while I'm searching has become quite distracting when I want to search for something with more than 5 words. You have to search with your eyes closed. I could never imagine this "intelligence" (it's literally just pattern matching) popping up in my inbox.

It's pretty common knowledge that us-east-1 is the most unreliable region. Also the oldest which helps explain why.
If you don't share blockchain history, then you don't automatically get some of the new coin by holding some of the previous coin. So there are no issues with exchanges and shorts.

Also if you do share history, it is much much harder to start, because you start off with the previous difficulty which is very hard to mine on. If you start a new altcoin with a clean history, the difficulty starts off very low.

Bitcoin Classic and Bitcoin XT have not actually forked the blockchain. So they are not separate coins yet.
In particular, she didn't visit Wisconsin even once during the general election campaign.
Nation states? Seriously? Did they say how they thought a nation state could do that on such a wide scale?
I got used to it, now I almost have the reverse problem.

Having said that, sometime for math, infix operators for complex equations are easier, and its easy to write a macro in Lisp to let you do that too:

(setv result (infix ((1 + 3 + 88) / 2) - 8))
I'm coming from traditional VM's and want to play around with Kubernetes. What are the best guides/articles to get started with Kubernetes?

There are very many backyard beekeepers, even in urban areas. I have a pair of hives on my small city lot and most neighbors don't even know. This isn't uncommon these days.

Having said that, there are wild bees, and bees 'escape' from beekeepers by swarming and forming new hives on their own. They try to reproduce by creating new hives as frequently as they can.

I agree about "right" drug laws, but many of the countries supporting this idea are not "right" drug law kind of places.

As for guns, they trot out "terrorism" as the reason for wanting to get rid of encryption. Well, gun laws have yet to stop terrorism. If they couldn't find a gun, they made a bomb, or they used an airplane, etc.
I know people who have moved Kurzweil's claims far beyond the pseudo-religious. Check out the Mormon Transhumanist Association sometime.
In all fairness, the corrupting influence of big money interests from federalist countries does not help here. One can hardly argue that socialist reformers in Central America were the reason those governments failed. Political assassinations driven by the policies of capitalist nations caused those instabilities.

Not trying to argue that Chavez and now Maduro are not demagogues, but let's not throw the baby out with the bath water here. No one ever said pure socialism worked, just like pure capitalism is a pipe dream. The world catches it's breath when moderates of both sides of the spectrum are in power.

I was born and have lived my whole life in India :/
Wow, I'd love some advice on getting there. I've found myself in cycles of debt for the past many years.
It's always the press claiming that valuation for the whole is equal to the latest preferred share price. Companies merely say, we issued a new class of shares and raised $ at price X. Company total value = sum of each class of stock#outstandingprice$
I'm not a lawyer, but there's quite an active debate whether closed-source (or, as on this case, GPL incompatible) modules are allowed to be distributed.

There are >1 lawyer which says that all kernel modules are derivative works of the kernel.
This isn't exactly surprising.
Snapchat is a messaging application, and Instagram is a messaging and picture sharing platform. Obviously users would spend more time browsing images on Insagram than just shooting off some messages to friends in Snapchat.
America did try to punish the Germans. Millions starved as a result of deliberate Allied policy. It wasn't until the schism with the USSR that policies shifted. Eisenhower in particular wanted Germany to be an agrarian society.
" like the moment in Rome when Caesar crowned himself emperor, the empire went downhill from there"

No, actually the Roman Empire started when Octavian was granted the title Augustus by the Roman Senate. It was a republic before that. He didn't "crown himself" anything.

I'm not sure which "Caesar" the OP had in mind (there were...umm... a bunch of them) but the Roman Empire continued to expand for quite a long time after the end of the Republic. It didn't start shrinking until the time of Hadrian, fourteen emperors down the line.
All workers are also females, and they start out the same egg as a queen (fertilized). The workers choose to create a queen which has mature reproductive organs by what it feeds the larva. Specifically, NOT feeding it honey and pollen, typical worker larva food, and continuing a diet of royal jelly. Once the larva exceeds a certain age (typically 4-6 days), the path is set and cannot be changed.
I was wondering why he didn't just clam up and let them arrest him, and then I read this:

> He was given a break for dinner and to speak to his lawyer, who was present.

I have to wonder if, after seeing how far off the reservation these guys were, his lawyer just told him to go with it in hopes that the whole thing would backfire. Which it looks like it has, at least to a point, if the judge ruled the search unlawful.
Context is a bit important. My understanding (erroneous perh) About 30% of the workforce works at the larger companies -The Mitsubishis, Toyotas, etc. Those are the ones who used to typically hire before graduation and offered the "lifetime employment". Most of the workforce work for SMBs (<300 emps) --not the prototypical salaryman employer. Not all salarymen are averse to job hopping --though at low annual percentages, still the typical worker didn't work their whole life at one co. AFAIUI.
One of the first ideas might be to talk with people who meet those categories. I for one do not feel marginalized by my company or the tech industry in general (there are a lot, in fact too many, bad apples I've encountered, but the entire industry isn't rotten). In fact I would say I dealt with more bias when I worked in the government than in private tech companies.

For starters what you can personally do is not purchase or use services from companies you feel are unethical. Explain to your network why for example you won't use Uber or Reddit or whatever other company you're fed up. If you can get enough other consumers to see from your view you'll force these companies to change. This just recently happened with health food junkies, now we have McDonald's at least paying lip service to healthy eating and serving things like kale.

One thing that won't work if you're a tech outsider is shaming people who work in the industry. It's hard to collaborate with people if they feel your tone is hostile.
>Sure, by stealing money from the people who have it and giving it to poor people

Largely by redirecting money from oil exports to anti-poverty programs.

Before he took power that money was mostly siphoned off abroad and by the upper classes.

Do you really think the country would have fared much better if this practice continued?
"HN is turning into reddit now, it used to be different" is perhaps the most repetitive comment on all of HN, though. People have been making this complaint for years and years now. It's so common that in fact there's a rule against it in the HN rules, https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a common semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.

(And that rule itself was written at least 5 years ago.)
Here, a good idea of a product to sell on Amazon.com : a device that, applied to the camera, makes it think it's looking at the driver, while instead it's looking at some fake footage.
Yet another but it wasn't socialism episode. Nationalization of strategic sectors and currency manipulation had nothing to do I guess.
How is this test methodology affected by phenomena like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cycle
I don't disagree that they could succeed with this method of attack. The problem is that it doesn't solve any problems. Encryption is a thing that humanity knows about. It's not going away. We're not going to stop knowing how to make guns, knives, drugs, or anything else that has been banned. And encryption just requires some computers. They're ubiquitous now. Encryption is baked into so many things that it would be impossible to stop as a concept.
Yes, per-capita rates are tricky with honeybees since they adjust their hive numbers significantly during the year and slim down for winter and potential summer nectar dearth.

Measuring colony survival is what is really important.
This sounds more like a fault of the parents than of the society. "The Constructs of Society" seems like too vague a notion to be able to measure or determine its impact. A person may be dissuaded from pursuing something because "society" really is doing so, or because they perceive society is doing so. In some instances it's easy to determine which is the reason, in others I think it's more difficult.

At the end of the day, part of being a good adult and parent in 2017 is not just accepting whatever constructs * you feel "society" is shoving down your throat. Think critically to form your own principles and beliefs, and act on them (so long as they are within the bounds law). Obviously this is easier said than done, and also there are probably places on earth where this isn't feasible. But I feel that in most of the developed world it is.

* not you rayiner, I mean you third person (I'm not accusing you of being a bad adult/parent!)
I teach college classes for a degree-granting program on occasion and have taught murderers. They are in prison doing their time, and some will eventually be paroled. They can be given a second chance as well.
the end goal in this is a class of priest-like experts to decide, obviously. I'm surprised no one realizes the tyranny of being forced to justify your right to procreate at all, let alone unguided by scientific experts with their own clear ideals of what should be done with your child.

Very few people are honest with themselves and admit the end goal is not making better, its making more controllable/more in aim with how the rulers want their population to be.
Problem is, for example, if you compute checksums of many files after writing them...
Not all bees are honey bees. GP was talking about Apis mellifera. You probably encountered Bombus impatiens.

Bumble bees aren't honey bees just like buffalo aren't wild milk cows.

Some have recommended farmers replace pollination with hardier indigenous mason bees or bumble bees, rather than use domesticated honey bees, in response to CCD.
I assume money can help.

Although I don't understand the following if the issue is copyright or patents:

1. If it's copyright, then presumably a team can black box reversed engineer ZFS, rewriting it under the GPL.

2. If it's patents, then how would any other CoW filesystem (say btrfs) get around them (curious sub point: when would those patents expire)?
This shift is happening, but I see it far too slowly, still. At least in my area, the dominate beekeepers who do it for commercial enterprise (and have the majority of all hives) still treat because they are protecting their income. Hobbyists are more quickly adopting treatment-free methods which I think is accelerating this trend.
True, but I doubt Snapchat the company is fine with being "just a messaging application" that unsurprisingly gets used less per day than a key competitor.
We did this too, but I have no idea why, because we weren't learning programming. It's probably the only thing I specifically remember about 6th grade. Maybe it was to teach us to be just as precise in our homework or something.
