"serious bollocks" means "very questionable statement" in the British English I'm familiar with. Perhaps GP's idiom is from elsewhere. If the reference is to bravery/daring one would use "balls" as in US English, I believe.
Not sure where you are, but there are tons of blackberries growing around here in Essex way. The fields near here are almost entirely lined with them, as are the forests and other semi rural areas. I think they were used as barriers between fields at one point and have massively spread out since then.

And yes, I do sometimes see people picking them, along with the other fruit that grows in the area.
Not always successfully, though :

It doesn't, I was just pointing out that if atrocious military actions means that you can't say anything good about a person there are a lot of leaders included in that.

>Anyway, this was different. Merv had surrendered. FDR was bombing cities that were still participating in a war against the Allies.

Merv has surrendered, but the war wasn't over. It wasn't just mindless killing, it was for a military objective.

>Another factor that makes these incomparable is that the Mongol army killed all these people with swords and spears, not unguided bombs. That means the civilians were killed deliberately.

You don't target enemy military assets with fire bombings.

>It may be small comfort for the civilians killed by bombing runs during WW2 that they were collateral damage, but the intention to kill civilians tells us something about the moral character of the Mongol army.

The motivation for it wasn't to kill civilians, it was always for military reasons.
> Because it takes longer, is more complicated and more difficult to design.

So you mean it requires properly solving the hard problems implied by your application and your desired solution, instead of ignoring them and permitting latent safety and security violations.

> You can't tell me that writing Rust is as easy as writing Go for example.

GC will always be easier than lifetime checking. But that's not what you claimed: you said people have good reasons for not wanting to check all the (safety) boxes. Go also requires you to check all of its safety boxes too, so it isn't an example of what you claimed.

Only languages like C and C++ which permit violating type safety are easy are examples of being justified in not wanting to check the safety boxes. And you have unsafe Rust for when you really need it.

> In many situations a simpler, less 'perfect' language like Go, Python, or even C++ is better.

C++ is not simpler. It's hilarious that some people think "familiar" somehow means "simpler".

The article makes no mention of bison (which is a parser generator) and yacc, and presents a rationale for using parser combinators?

I agree that bison/yacc is a terrible user experience in a modern C++ or even modern C environment.

Many drugs are within that general level of simplicity to produce. They're plants and fungi, and growing them is as simple as regular plants and fungi. Psilocybin, mescaline, cannabis, even opium is pretty simple.

The details difficulties are related to regulations, or stealth (for illegal producers).

Only by looking at issues in github repo you can tell it's far, far away from being stable, even for homelabs.
The pdf has been posted previously (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14655528) and the discussion has some comments by the authors.
4-AcO-DMT is psilacetin, which is an acetylated form of 4-HO-DMT, or psilocin. Acetylization seems to result in an easier time crossing the blood-brain barrier, resulting in a quicker onset of effects, with a matched quicker comedown. You're still looking at a couple hours.

Even without the psilocybin (or other alkaloids present), the experience appears mostly identical to P. cubensis mushrooms, but without the nausea, and seemingly a higher disposition toward producing negative experiences. It's incredibly easy to be overwhelmed by the euphoria being too intense, and dysphoria over negative effects such as akathisia. This can very easily spiral into mild panic attacks, knowing full well that things aren't going to wear off for a few more hours.

The milder variants 4-AcO-MET and 4-AcO-DET seem to reduce negative experiences, but overall they're still far too unpredictable whether the experience will end up enjoyable or not.

Whether natural or synthetic -- regrettably, the efficacy in treating depression and obsessive compulsive disorder appear to be overly optimistic.
This is Talip@Evercoin. We have mainly two kinds of fees. Miner/Network fees, which are fixed and can be listed (and we will). Second one is our fee, which is dynamically calculated based on multiple parameters such as our reserve, market trend and recent transactions. It is basically a risk calculation. We can and should say that on our FAQ but not sure if that is going to be 'transparent' enough. Btw, we are a new service, we need feedback from the community to know how to make our service better and time to get them done. We are committed to become better. So please keep the feedback coming.

Ask HN: Tools to improve an open source project
Hi, is there any tool for open source projects to:

- brainstorm for new features?

- vote for what to implement first?

- organize contributions?

- communicate important news? or simply ask questions?

- ask for user testimonials?

- advertise?

I know tools that can handle some of these needs to some extent, but what is the best combination in your view?

They do look pretty baseless and speculative, and certainly the "Frontier Edition" wasn't able to reach and spectacular rates.
The problems with this vision are manifold.

1. Governments have laws backed by guns to prevent things they don't like (like transactions or investments escaping taxation). If you want to change the system of governance, that's fine, but a currency is not going to do it alone, because they will mandate control over your currency or ban it outright. You can't opt out of government. Perhaps we need a new form of government people subscribe to rather than are opted into at birth, but I don't see bitcoin as a step on that road, as it tries to ignore the question entirely.

2. A cryptocurrency in no way gives you absolute control over your money - like any other currency you are buying in to a system, which has points of control - for example in bitcoin those points of significant control are currently the small group of devs who decide on the rules, and the miners who run the network. Both have the ability to manipulate the currency or lead it in directions you don't like. Past that the currency is a system of trust influenced by everyone who buys it or transactions in it - if that trust fails your money is worthless. So like fiat you have very little control over your money and its value.

3. Censorship resistance - this is the strongest point but still vulnerable because transactions can be traced, and anything you do in the real world can lead them back to your addresses. Given sufficient importance and interest from state actors, I doubt anyone could remain anonymous for long.

4. You seem to be assuming companies and systems will be forced to accept bitcoin (or some other flavour), they can easily deny your transactions by refusing to accept it without validated identity (for example KYC laws).
As a child and later manchild who has played with electric drills, I find it would be very difficult to injure yourself. You'd need to apply a lot of pressure to drill into yourself. You can somewhat safely touch the sides of a drill bit as it's spinning and it won't do anything.

Sore wrists though ... yeah I can see that. Those things vibrate a lot.

I guess you could cause the drill bit to fly out at high speed if you don't fasten it properly, but what kind of maniac drills with a wobbly drill bit?

Trademark Abuse Radar
Aimed to enable anyone to detect malicious domain activities targeting his, or her, domain name or brand the service searches for:

Hey guys, I wanted to showcase a service that I’m developing and get potential feedback on how to make it better
More precisely, I’m talking about https://www.htbridge.com/radar/?id=fJw2irGE
It is a service that detects potential cybersquatting, typosquatting and phishing websites.
It constantly monitors newly registered domains and processes them, offering in return an insight into domains that can be potentially used to abuse your trademark.
In case of phishing websites it also screenshots the pages in question.

Give it a run, and tell me what you think. Cheers!
Didn't their ad business fail because they refused to share/collect as much user data, and hence advertisers were less willing to spend on their platform?
If I may?

I hold a bit of a strong view, here. Criminalize actions. In all but the rarest if cases, speech should be protected.

If somebody tells you to go punch a Nazi, they shouldn't get in trouble. You should, if you go punch a Nazi. Not that I like Nazis, but that you shouldn't assault them when they aren't being violent or an immediate threat to your physical safety.

I only think speech should be punished when you can show demonstrable harm. Libel, slander, credible threats, and things like that. Some idiot yelling about gassing Jews isn't a credible threat, even if reprehensible. However, if they happen to have a gas chamber, and amassed a bunch of Jews, that's a credible threat - though I am going to guess their speech is the least of our concerns, if they got that far.

I don't want speech to be illegal, in all but the rarest of circumstances.

IANAL but I suspect the forthcoming GDPR will make this illegal for EU customer data. It gives users greater control over their data, so I wouldn't be surprised to find that it corresponds with this judgement, i.e. if a user determines data to be publicly available, it must be made to be so.

Anyone know whether this is right?

And BTW in case you're not aware, if you hold data from any EU citizens you'll be required to comply with the GDPR regardless of where you're located.
I really really want to like Gitlab, I love their openness and I love having the competition with Github. But it seems like every 6 months they have an issue of some description.

It's unfortunate the expectations we place on cloud providers but my clients have similar expectations from me so I need to work with providers that can assure me they can offer the kind of uptime I'm expected to provide. Plus the modern way of pipelining code means git is seldom a static silo like it once was which only compounds things when one of your links in the chain has multiple glitches a year.

edit:

I thought I would get downvoted into oblivion for this but I felt it was a discussion worth having since they relate directly to my experiences with working at scale. So I "took one for the team" - so to speak.

Anyhow to answer a few points:

* Yes I'm aware git is a distributed VCS but like I said, git is seldom a silo so you'd need to reconfigure your pipeline to point to the new git origin or have your pipeline already configured to accept fallback systems. Quickly your configuration spirals in complexity.

* Yes I'm also aware you can self host. This is actually what we did do before moving to a cloud hosted solution. This added complications with our AWS pipelining. Problems that were solvable but again, with additional complexity compared with cloud hosted solutions.

At the end of the day all problems can be addressed with enough time and resources however the reason people typically opt for hosted solutions is to reduce complexity not increase it.

How to Think About the Problem of Corporate Offshore Cash: Lesson from Microsoft
The Collatz conjecture ( https://xkcd.com/710/ ) may well be an example here.
Every time I've seen them recommended a target price far below what the current rate is for a stock recently, it's tanked, and then come back to higher than it was before within a couple weeks. I have to wonder if they've been taking advantage of this (illegally) or if they've just got some incompetent people working for them that have no idea how much AMD is worth, for example. Seems like saying "that was just one of our analysts, others who disagreed still thought buying was good at the time" could be their cover for manipulating stock prices to their benefit.

If you think this is career ending you probably have no idea on how hiring and promoting decisions are made in German universities.

no. drugs that act on GABAA, serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine receptors individually don't seem to affect the whole of the brain the way psychedelics do,[0] which we didn't really know about until 2016. from the available literature, which is scarce, it seems like psychedelics are more analogous to something like transcranial magnetic stimulation, which also "wakes up" and potentially even heals the prefrontal cortex. it's too bad it's so hard to study medical applications of these drugs.

I'm not much concerned about the sexism against men- others even argued that Google doesn't try to fill a finite set of positions, they basically hire whoever passes the bar.

However, I'm very concerned about ideological denial of reality, in any field and every form. It's scary to realise that people can basically convince themselves to see anything they want, to the point of deeming any other view as unacceptable, if there is enough peer pressure to do so.
The Polish Doctors Who Used Science to Outwit the Nazis
And that's wrong. It's not helping - Far Right protests are almost as much of a problem in Germany as in the US, despite the fact that the police can and will lock you up for those views. If anything it has incited more people to view those things with respect - Mostly rebellious youths, but many of them never leave once they've adopted the lifestyle. Suppressing speech never has the intended effect of making it go away. It only makes it nastier and more virulent, by giving it an enemy to fight and it's followers the badge of oppression.
That sounds pretty plausible. I was deeply disappointed when they announced the pivot to standalone glasses. I didn't want standalone glasses, I wanted the original device as pitched on Kickstarter. I figured, even if none of the VR/AR mechanisms worked at all, I'd have been thrilled to have a tiny set of display glasses with HDMI inputs.

As a backer, I'm pleased that they refunded everyone (and I can confirm having received a full refund). But I'm still sad to see this result; I had a lot of hopes for this, and it looked much more promising to me than any of the alternatives, right up until today.

Ever since I was five, I've been on the computer. I started by playing with software. I configured all parts of the computer to make it unfit for normal use. Then, I put it back. I repeated it enough times I didn't have to look at the screen. I filled my hard drive with tools I could use to take apart more of my computer. The text editor, the compiler, the kernel. I programmed new parts to replace the old ones. I read technical documents and the FCCs. I could build a computer out of sand with the proper equipment. I could make a web browser for it, but it would be simple. It would run on THUMB architecture. The OS would be less than ten thousand lines of code. Any more, and a feature would be removed. It would be so consistant that the kernel would be written in the same language the shell would interpret. It would have exactly what it needed.
