That's true but easier than arguing the previous precedents are wrong. Or so wrong, it would override the weight of them being a precedent.

The idea that the right to privacy implies the right to perform abortion seems like the weakest point to me. That argument only seems plausible if the right to privacy implies we can do anything to ourselves in private.

That's a ridiculous amount of power for a right which isn't even explicitly mentioned and way outside the Federal government's mandate. Not to mention inconsistent with many laws.
I definitely agree that there are less expensive options out there, but self-study isn't for everyone. Also, one of the main benefits of these boot-camps are their career counseling services.

At the end of the day, if you're able to increase your salary from $30k to $80k, the extra $15k on a course seems well worth it.
A rendering engine written in Javascript? Actually more possible with WebAssembly I suppose, but I’d worry about user space browser leaking information.
wtf are you blabbing about? people have freedom of speech, thought, travel, and they are massively better-off than they were during communism (pardon, 'socialism'). there are issues, of course, like everywhere else.

> Nazi's are an easy target. The problem starts when things are not as clean cut -- when actual politics are involved, as opposed to crude stuff like "exterminate all jews" and "blacks are inferior", etc that Nazi's might say.

It wasn't so clean cut back in Germany in the 30s either, there was always some other rhetoric: being "stabbed in the back" in WW1 by internal forces, using emergency powers to deal with effects of Great Depression and threat of Marxism.

[Update]

I encourage watching snippets of Hitler's speeches (with translations): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnpTWKKWQ1o. Strip away swastikas and heils and these could be used by populist politicians today.

Even if we succeed in prosecuting hate speech there will still be plenty room for fanatics to come to power.
Don't count on that. If an economic downturn happens, it's entirely possible that the less experienced, but less expensive developers will do well. It may be the experienced one will feel the hurt.
Learning new tech is good of course but I wouldn't overdo it. It is also important to have some specialization and skills that you focus on.

It also depends on your clients, they will most likely be making the call based on the tech they already are using in their current stack and their tech employees. So when they bring in a consultant they will want to keep in line with their in-house tech stack not to complicate future maintenance and hiring.
What you say might be true - although there are many people who doubt it, with some quoting research papers - but it simply doesn't answer the question asked, and is pretty much a complete non sequitur.
It's still confusing in Java because there are primitive types which == compares by value. Scala gets it right: == does the right thing and there's some operator I never use (I think it's "eq"?) if you really want reference comparison.

Ask HN: What could grassroots politics learn from startups?
Hi HN,

How would you start a startup which isn't about making money but building a better society through politics?

I have been more and more involved in politics and I was wondering what could grassroots political organisations learn from startups. I am trying to help build a pro European Hungarian political movement, Momentum (momentum.hu).

I believe technology has an important role to play in politics through opportunities for transparent, democratic decisions, and better workflows. I am curious how would you help a political organisation which is in its early stages?

One of our projects I am proud of is tackling local causes which matter to local people. cselekveskorei.hu is our website where we run this platform.

I would love to hear about your experiences in helping setting up political orgs with tech and what you would do to help improve processes. If you would be interested in giving me some more advice regarding this please email me through my profile.
Hey Church of Scientology, somebody here is claiming you are fraudsters gaming the bestseller lists. I'll add my own opinion that you're an abusive cult dead set on parting fools and their money, that your "church" was invented by a guy alternating between nights on uppers and downers, and your myth of aliens on DC-10s doing something around a vulcano (can't remember the details) is pure fantasy.

How to MAKE Your PRODUCT PAGE CONVERSION-BOOSTING IN MAGENTO 2
In Java it's not confusing when you realize that == always compares values (i.e. things that can be stored in variables); it's just that for reference types, the values are references. It'd be more obvious if Java required explicit dereferencing like C++ does, but it's still consistent. Just not convenient.
Perfect example where Go would be a great fit.
I guess one of goals of Rust is to make these sort of optimisations viable (compiler provides safety nets). Will be nice to see what they can do.
never mind that most "API" are JSON (or some such) delivered over (S)HTTP anyways.

But yes, anything but HTTP is "old". In large part because of corporate firewall rules that block anything but HTTP traffic (and more often than not filter even that traffic).
In C++, == pretty much always uses value semantics regardless, because reference semantics are pretty much always explicit (dereference with star etc).

I can imagine that what you're saying is true if there was no danger to the public.

But if someone were to trade on the knowledge that a supplier had delivered faulty airbags to an auto manufacturer without telling that manufacturer, I doubt this would be looked at kindly by the courts.

But I agree that the metaphor is not ideal. Selling 0day exploits to that broker is much worse. Any seller would have to have a reasonable expectation of aiding organised crime or terrorism.
It sounded like complaining but either way, take a look at these.

With decimal numbers we can write 1/3 as 3/10+3/100+3/1000+..., it is infinite series converging to 1/3. With base 60 we can write it as 20/60, just one term of series is not null. When dealing with infinite series one would need to pick few first terms of series dropping the rest thus losing precision.

With decimal numbers we can write down exact quotient when divide by powers of 2 and 5, because 10=2 * 5. With base twelve we could write exact quotients from division by powers of 2 and 3. With base 60 we could write anything that comes from division by powers of 2, 3 and 5. It can be archieved with base 30=2 * 3 * 5, and I'm not sure that base 60 superior to 30, it do not allow to write more fractional numbers precisely. Maybe it sometimes simplifies arithmetic operations though. I believe, it is easier to divide by 4 in base 60 than in base 30.

Now we have processors that can deal with great amount of terms of series and can keep any reasonable precision we need (in the most cases at least), but back then it was hard work for skilled enough to deal with arithmetic operations.

I'm a little curious about MIT in the web resource space. What is the proper way to include the license there ?

Including it in every icon / page feels like a waste of bits, but least in my jurisdiction, both the page and the icons are actually copies in the sense of the law as soon as a browser downloads it.

In a regular application it's not an issue, but the wording of MIT is a bit confusing in the context of small resources used by web pages.

That 'reveal' is definitely overkill - in a world where shaving off 10s of milliseconds in load time helps engagement, adding 100s of milliseconds of unnecessary pause before content does seem a little silly.

That said, 'has javascript' is a reasonable assumption for most websites these days. Most people outside the HackerNews echo chamber wouldn't dream of turning it off, but then I suppose this blog is aimed at the HackerNews audience (among others).
Of course applicants "who built something from scratch" will stand out above bootcampers, and some can get into big tech firms with just a "computer," "internet connection" and "focus[]", but that's also a really tall order.

There's nothing wrong with a "pay money -> software job" mentality, as long as the person is interested in the work, and puts in the effort. I know several people who came out of college with a humanities degrees only to become a poorly paid social media consultant or something similar. They didn't have the know-how to get started with software development on their own, but they enjoyed working with tech and were smart. They paid the $15k to the local bootcamp and within a few months got jobs increasing salaries from ~$30k to $80k (I know one who started well into six figures).

We shouldn't lock people out just because they didn't get into coding at ten years old. Bootcamps often lead to solidly paying entry level coding jobs, a great lifestyle, along with the gratification of actually building something. Bootcamps serve a real need between self-study and a heavy-handed multi-year BS or MS. The driven MS or self-study guy or gal may get the better job, but bootcamps will get the candidate in the door quickly, and they can prove themselves while on the job.

Nothing wrong with his comment. Yours is rude.
Kingston University (UK) professor Steve Keen deriving an economic production function explaining much of the Solow Residual in the Cobb-Douglas production function by incorporating energy as a factor of production. "Energy, a corpse, and a sculpture walk into a bar..." shows both capital and labour as systems for channelling energy.

Interesting is the suggestion that his formula explains resource (energy), financial, and social aspects of production functions.
One of the biggest differences between bootcamps and traditional schools is that bootcamps often measure (and market) their success by job placements. Most large universities have entirely different incentives, often based on honors from research programs and large funding grants.

If your goal is to get a good job and you don't have a strong background, then these bootcamps are a fantastic resource.

Fish farming has bassically the same problems than traditional farming (problems that must be solved), but wins clearly in some aspects.

First of all is more efficient. We produce human food via cold blooded animals so we need to provide less animal food to obtain 1Kg of high quality human food. Mammals and birds instead will use a considerable amount of this energy just to keep itselves several degrees warmer than the environmental temperature day and night.

Is better also because reduces waste. Fishes are aquatic and have swimming bladders. Its bodyweight is carried by the water, so you are not investing in growing several Kg of heavy unedible skeletons that will end in the trash. There is more food in 100Kg of entire fishes than in a pig of 100Kg, and you'll need to allocate less volume of garbage dump.

At difference of agriculture or industry, if you have a farm fish you need to care for keeping the quality of the water in reasonable levels for life beings. This water is still available to other animals and plants.

More efficient use of energy and water and less waste is the definition of environmentally friendly. The ugly truth is that the number of humans is ever increasing but resources are limited. Cows, sheeps, pigs and poultry use also antibiotics and spreaded parasites and diseases in the past and of course the arrival of massive quantities of them 200 years ago was also a neverending 'environmental nightmare' for lots of species of trees, flowers or insects (and a bless to other, just like salmon farms). The difference is that you can have more people with aquaculture in the end.

Personally, no. Latin America is statistically more dangerous than North America yet their population growth is not significantly larger.

His point was that thousands of people coming out of bootcamps were saturating the market. My point is I think the market is bigger than that or bootcamps wouldn't exist.
Didn't know about uShip! It's still not exactly what I mean. This seems a customer to trucker option. I mean more _loads_ of offers to various truckers. uShip seems to be about the goods themselves. I mean just picking up a container. To pick up a container you need a truck capable of doing that, various documentation (incl something that proves you're allowed to pick it up), passport, etc. Cannot just go to a terminal and expect to get a container because someone asked you ;)

Despite that, seems fairly similar. The number of truckers is quite impressive though wonder if those are capable of trucking a container.

Why It’s Still a Bad Idea to Post or Trash Your Airline Boarding Pass
Likely disgruntled with not getting his story told.
It is not a sudden concern, it has been ignored since C and C++ exist, and only became worse with code exposed to the world via the Internet.

"Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions would have long been against the law."
