> But the Majority Whip for the U.S. Congress is STILL in recovery from a mass shooting over two months ago, by a deranged left-wing activist.

> As a moderate, BOTH extremes in the U.S. scare the shit out of me right now.

This is painfully ridiculous. The lunatic with a rifle is not representative of Sanders or his supporters, or the left in the U.S. I don't think an honest person of any political stripe would listen to Sanders condemnation of the guy and wonder whether he really meant it.

The Nazis and the Klan... are the Nazis and the Klan. Murder is what they do, and the best that could possibly have been said about the ones marching the other day was that they were just some kind of weak wannabes, not the real thing. Which would have been a smarter thing to say before they killed somebody at their rally.

I just cannot fathom some of the over-intellectualized naivete I'm reading here.
Whether or not Google and Godaddy's actions are appropriate is a separate discussion from whether or not the government can compel political websites to disclose their visitor logs.
Im kind of against all this censorship, even IF the video glorified "nahzis". The post war indoctrination has hurt our understanding of history more than anything. This censorship madness MUST come to an end sometime.
> But surely no one is arguing "Nazis aren't bad" on HN?

If your first instinct is to minimise the Nazis (historical or new) by way of comparison to [anything else], then yeah, I would say they're arguing exactly that.
> What is the point in quitting? You just went from some voice to zero.

People—especially in billionaire CEOs—have a voice whether or not they serve on one of Trump's showpiece councils.

> This is just virtue-signaling

Virtue-signalling is a technique to magnify trust from and thereby influence over the signalled group; it is often, for that reason, a mechanism to magnify one's political voice. So, the complaint that it is virtue-signalling actually contradicts the complaint that it nullifies the actor's voice.
> Obama has not denounced radical Islamic terrorism

Well yea, Obama, like George Bush before him, didn't use those exact words because it's a pointlessly offensive term. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. Almost all of those 1.6 billion people are peaceful, responsible humans, just living their lives. Obama and Bush denounced terrorism all the time. But both of them, being somewhat more thoughtful than Trump, decided not to lump those 1.6 billion in with a tiny group of murdering lunatics, by naming those murdering lunatics after peaceful group's religion.

It would be as if we called KKK lynchings to Radical Christian Terrorism, as the KKK's makes all kinds of claims relating their batshit ideology to Christianity. Doesn't mean it has anything to do with Christianity though.

In short, your comparison doesn't hold up at all, as Obama consistently denounced terrorism by Al Qaeda and ISIS in clear, strong terms.

Trump got pitched a total softball, and he somehow managed to screw it up. Violence at a rally organized by white supremacists? Seems pretty cut and dry.

sorry for the rant..

looking at human history it was starches that kept people surviving and striving. there is no real long term data on keto diets. i personally experimented with high/low carb and the simplified gist is: low carb works because you take away the carbs. high carb works because you take away the fat. protein doesn't really matter. but see for example "whole" from campbell on the potentially negative effect of excess protein. excess is pretty much more than 5-10%. look at graham and many more wfpb 80/10/10 athletes.

anyway, i'm currently on high carb, wfpb, tropical fruit. eating sometimes 5000 kcals a day. exercising less than an hour a day. max 5 days a week. spending rest of time at the computer. keeping my weight. 44 years btw.

there seem to be non-trivial relationships between the macros. and you need to look at the micro nutrients if you want to support long term health.

if you look at how much sicker the general population gets, it's really hard to argue that dairy, eggs and meat are really "healthy". only the greens in keto diets will compensate for the negative effects of animal products. again, see whole, and how not to die and many more. in there you find (by now thousands! of) studies on this. get rid of animal products and stick to fruits and vegetables if you prefer raw food, or starches and vegetables otherwise to avoid burdening your body in the first place.

i really don't get how this knowledge has not reach "the computer people". i understand how the industries control the government and "the general population". but "us guys and gals" have the information at our finger tips. so weird.. :-) read up on how the tobacco industry fought like 50 years ago. the same is happening with meat etc. eventually they will have to add the same labels to meat etc like we see on cigarettes today. the government websites already contain warnings about meat, dairy and eggs causing cancer. the industry pays a lot of money to keep the government from promoting a healthy diet.

well.. main issue i see with high carb wfpb is that people at some point are really too sick to properly digest grains etc. that's why keto diets work so well for many people. let's wait and see about their long term effect. (then again, on a personal note, i'm hoping all these meat-promoting keto people die of cancer sooner rather than later. it's a karma thing. the cruelty against helpless creatures in meat dairy and egg farms.. not cool.. no matter what you may believe.. not cool..) anyway, i was really f*ed up from unhealthy eating for like 30 years. i got rid of my 30+ years allergies and chronic sinusitis by water and juice fasting for two months. and i settled with a high carb wfpb 80-100% raw diet. raw because i have access to fresh tropical fruits. which isn't a given for everyone in germany.. :-) feeling really good so far. on a side note: but i do consider trying out the Dr. Nun Amen-Ra diet at some point.
I suspect they can detect more than just how active you are with this thing.

There are probably enough sensors to detect untreated sleep apnea for example. Or the pattern of arm movement, heartbeat, sitting in one spot, etc, associated with binge drinking. Or early onset of Parkinson's. Or perhaps false positives associated with these things.

I'm not personally willing to create the equivalent of an OBD-II port on my body and let an insurance company have unfettered access to the data. Insurance companies, at least in the US, have shown they aren't shy about finding ways to cut their costs at the expense of someone's well being.
I think it's the opposite: you get $100/month and that is the only money you will ever get for that month to live off of, you will probably be very careful how it is used. But if you get $1 million a month you may be less careful
But they can bar lots of people for other reasons. Block short people, people with black hair, people wearing red. It gets a bit murky when they block people for something that is related to a protected class but not directly because of a protected class. For example blocking anyone wearing a cross because they block everyone wearing torture devices from entering.

Was curious if anyone had experience/thoughts on online standup tools. I am debating if I should move our team from a typical standup to an online one.

In some areas of the world (VHDL/Ada), you have to maintain symbol table for correct lexing.

These languages have constructions like OBJECT_NAME'ATTRIBUTE (object name can be anything with visible name in the scope and attributes depend on its kind) and RECORD_TYPE_NAME'SLICE where we create value of RECORD_TYPE_NAME using slice, which is collection of values of record fields.

There are also character literals, which have form like 'a', '1', '#', ''''. Just as you can expect here.

The combination of record value construction and lexer forms for character literals makes it hard to parse something like MY_RECORD'('1','0',false, 10).

Symbol table and/or dynamic parse construction allows you to parse these texts easily and specify the syntax straightforwardly. The other approach with construction of separate AST complicates things a lot.

That 1 comment raises very serious doubts about that paper. The paper is basically assuming that a polynomial time solvable problem takes super-polynomial time. If it's using that fact in an integral manner then that kills the proof. And even if not, just the fact that the paper is making such a basic mistake raises questions as to how solid the rest of the paper is. Also the guy who made the comment (Luca Trevisan) is a very famous researcher in theory/crypto...
Possibly, but given the potential benefits of exposing data, I think we should develop a system for granting access to proper anonymized data. Besides oversigt and restrictions in such a process, companies gaining access should also have a product that is "broadly beneficial" to society.

There are studies that show general agreement on estimations of physical attractiveness, regardless of race and culture. Needless to say these are disparaged by those whose beliefs are challenged by said research, but anyway. There are also studies that indicate that most people end up with partners of a similar level of physical attractiveness all else being equal, which would seem to indicate that a hierarchy does exist, and moreover that each of us has some notion of our personal position in the hierarchy.

Whether this all derives from biology is hard to say - however the alternative is to suggest that we are all somehow indoctrinated to value physical attractiveness and would otherwise be saintlike in ignoring things that suggest genetic unfitness, such as obesity, small stature, disfigurement etc. Look at the animal kingdom - I don't think animals are gauging partners on their ability to tell a funny joke, or having the correct politics. The sex drive is one of our most basic drives. To think it's not still driven by basic prerogatives does not seem reasonable to me.

Where there're sponsors there're studies. Don't trust those. Not saying that they're scientifcly wrong, but similar studies have been made for red wine and dark chocolate. Also, there was / is the green tea trend. You need to take all effects of a substance into account when judging the health benefits.

If you want to do something good for your health, drink herbal tea. But why do most of the people prefer coffee or green / black tea? Or drink red wine or eat lots of dark chocolate. Because those are stimulants.
The confusion here is basically my point. I'll simplify. Scalia, a very conservative Supreme Court Justice, said burning the American flag is a right. And he made a right wing case for that. And it's not controversial on the right. In contrast, speech restrictions are popular on both the left and right in Europe. It's more about whose you like better.

In the healthcare debate, the American right argued that the national government didn't (and shouldn't) have the power to take certain steps. The European right mostly argues from practical or identity-based reasons. So healthcare controversies involve levels of funding, pay for workers, coverage for refugees, and things like that.

(I'm not op).

It's not that there's a regression-to-mean force that eliminates abnormal symptoms. It's more that the symptoms have some underlying cause that will fix itself over time.

If you start some intervention (such as stopping caffeine) at the same time you are naturally getting better, then you nay false attribute your getting better to the intervention rather than to its real cause: our bodies tend to bounch back from illness.
It's really sad that auger bits for braces aren't manufactured any more as far as I can tell. There are places that sell new old stock, and there are Irwin bits available but only in sets worth $500 (not sure if new or old stock). You might have to pay $30 for a single bit.

I bought a bunch of random sized new old stock and I was lucky to obtain some untouched bits when I bought a dead man's tool chest a while back.

I do woodworking exclusively with hand tools and the brace and bit is just a great tool. It's much nicer than hassling with power drills or trying to wrestle the work piece on the drill press. A cordless drill can get holes drilled just fine (although there's a risk of tearout on the opposite side) but for removing waste from mortises or other joinery a cordless drill is useless because you don't have a reliable depth stop.

I also have an egg beater -style drill but unfortunately the chuck is broken. I won't bother buying a new one because I'll almost certainly get one when buying a set of old tools from someone in an online auction.

Some old hand tools are much nicer to work with than their modern counterparts. It's not usually even much slower unless you're doing some mass manufacturing operation with a thousand similar holes or sawcuts. I could never afford a full shop of power tools or the space to put them in but I'm able to do almost anything with hand tools at a fraction of the money and space required.

The counter-protestors had a demonstration permit as well, for a park a block away. The violence didn't take place in either park, and the permits aren't a free pass for violence, so the permits are entirely irrelevant.

As a psychologist, my experience is that lots of physicians, even psychiatrists, want testing and a diagnosis from a psychologist before prescribing, so it might look like the psychologist is prescribing, when they are just diagnosing.

Ask HN: Is Georgia Tech's Online Master in CS Worth It?
I would like to know if HN thinks it is worth to go through Georgia Tech's Online Master of Science in Computer Science.

https://www.omscs.gatech.edu/

It is basically an online program of academic education in CS planned to be taken while working, costing around USD7,000 to complete.

My context: I am brazilian, living in Brazil, 37 yo, graduated in Economics and just recently made the career transition to become a developer. I basically studied more practical things about software development (web, mostly javascript) through free content available online. I am already working as a frontend web developer.

I believe this program is a good complementary source of knowledge to become a better software developer. I assume the more theoretical academic approach would benefit me as a complement to my more hands-on learning I had so far. And I also assume the Georgia Tech credentials will benefit my career.

So, what you think?
What is true and fair is that Obama failed to condemn numerous left-wing violent acts and so far Trump has condemned all of the ones that the media attributes to the right, and the left for that matter but that's probably a negative to many posters here.

This article makes a ton of sense for people in smaller companies that aren't worried about rapidly shifting markets and the long time-to-delivery of new functionality that is made possible by technology. He's effectively arguing "why build android when j2me already exists". The problem is that when the iphone comes out, you want something you can quickly retool into a competitive product - otherwise you might get killed by the movement of the market itself. See blackberry & windows mobile for what happens when you're too late to the game.

Now, you could argue that it makes more sense to try to make the iPhone instead of a me-too system like android originally was. But most companies aren't apple of 2005, and they know it. They know they aren't really leading in anything - they just don't want to be left in the dust. So they ask their tech teams to investigate stuff that might be transformational, like the blockchain, because if it did create a new green field, they want to have access to the new market and at least near-first mover advantage.

One piece is probably relevant in war but not as much in tech companies:

> Good leaders don't make excuses, they find a way to win

In war, if you lose a battle people on your team die. In tech, if you lose you hopefully learned a valuable lesson you can take into the next battle. All you lost was money (and runway probably).

Granted, the industry's obsession with "failure is good" may be taken a little bit too far sometimes. You have to win at least part of the time or you go out of business.
How Blockchain Will Transform Business in 3 to 5 Years
By using numpy, etc. you're basically _not_ using the interpreter because you're using C/C++/fortran code that's been compiled with python bindings.

To combine both your points, the best approach (if you like python) is to stick with python due to is ease of development and use libraries such as numpy as far as possible. However, if your use case is CPU bound but not served by those libraries, then you'll either need to develop your own extensions or throw away the interpreter altogether (and go with a different language).
