I've never played Eve but stumbled across this video and found it a awesome 5 min watch on the history of one event in the Eve world.

From there I ended up reading the free pages of the associated kindle book and that was incredible. I ended up buying it. The level of politics, backstabbing, jealousy, revenge, complexity is amazing.

I've got no association with any of the above was was quickly drawn into it just to read and consume - not even to play.
Having spent a lot of time with PicBreeder, I suspect that the "ancestors look nothing like their descendants" thing is more an artifact of how our brains interpret images, rather than implying some deeper insight into how objectives affect the process.

There are AI projects that attempt to approximate a "natural image manifold" – essentially a blob in the space of possible images where you find things that look like photographs to humans. I think the PicBreeder thing has more to do with that; the set of images that people want to create occupies a relatively confined space within the set of all possible PicBreeder outputs. So working off of any previously built image is basically a "shortcut to the manifold", if you will.

Or to put it another way: when you consider the entire space of PicBreeder outputs, any existing image is much closer to whatever you want to make than starting from scratch.
I thought you couldn't figure out what it was depicting? :)
The printing was only a simple example. A less contrived example would be to evaluate an AST. E.g. you would want the '+' operator to do different things for strings and numbers.

Also, your visit function does not do exactly the same thing as the author's example. The author's example also prints the type's name. How would you do that without making the visitor cases explicit?
yeah that's what I thought it was going to get to when I started reading the screenshot. but I guess not all criminals are smart marketers
the new c++ is great in that it is evolving fast, but I feel it is extremely hard to read, the readability of the language is diminishing by each newer version.
Reading the article, it seems the committee just doesn't want to change the actual syntax of the language since C++11. The only reason I can think of is that it's easier for compiler vendors to update the STL and minor syntax changes rather than adding something like described in parent.
I spend too much money on knapsacks because I fetishize them. For purely utilitarian purposes a basic school knapsack is just fine.

There's a website called carryology that has comprehensive reviews of all the fancy designer and boutique backpacks out there:

Which one is best? Whichever one you feel best serves as a projection of your identity as a commuter. Casual commuter backpacks are actually really simple and it's hard to fuck up.

I'm currently using a chrome industries Barrage cargo backpack:

Why? Cuz it looks cool. Otherwise it's just some shoulder straps and a bunch compartments to hold your crap like any other backpack.
I think a tech union would significantly raise the wages of technical people. A past job, I automated away jobs at $0.10 on the dollar and made a healthy salary, but it obviously was 1/10th of what I was worth. I left that company and all those jobs are still automated away and the more the company grows, the more they save.

Also a tech union could push for perks like developer offices, remote work, better work equipment, etc. If nothing else, they could communicate with the business on how to make developers happy and comfortable; something the business might be willing to do, but don't know how to do.

Now is the time to do it too, US businesses are pulling back on offshore labor and bringing work back to the US.

I'm serious considering leaving my current job because the office coffee moved from Sightglass to some over-roasted junk from somewhere in Marin county...
Except this isn't about companies, but about users. I as a user don't care about what the company prefers, I care about whether their goals align with my goals. And if I fund them, chances are potentially higher that their goals are aligned with my goals.
At least up here in the PNW, grid-tied solar systems are actually required to shut down in the event of power grid failures (sending power back into "dead" lines is a good way to get people killed), so while I definitely would like to see what you're talking about, I'm not sure a selling point of it is resiliency for power outages.
> And even if you can, then you need to rent a car just to get around, or spend several hundred dollars on Uber/Lyft.

> Are you joking or describing LA?

Los Angeles and Orange County is spread out over about 60 miles.

Perhaps the average distance between 2 interesting neighborhoods, is about 20 miles, give or take. So you live in one neighborhood, but you have activities in another area.

The cost of taking Uber for 20 miles, is about $30. So the roundtrip will cost $60. Add a few of these trips together, and you'll quickly hit a few hundred dollars. At that point, you might as well just rent a car.
Unless they somehow withdrew money from it, it can only be underfunded because it was always underfunded.

Discriminated union is low-level pattern from non-OO languages (it is common pattern in C, Pascal has syntax for this and IIRC unions are always discriminated in "standard" Pascal)

In object oriented languages this pattern is mostly unnecessary, because inheritance is usually better solution for the same problem. Only reason to use something like this in C++ is (maybe even only perceived) efficiency gained by removing level of pointer indirection.

In my experience, the regulators aren't really being sold in the first place. They don't have the resources or willingness to stir up a hornet's nest if they can get away with it.

Normally the key battle is in determining if the work in question falls within the definition of the practice of law. The more rote and mindless the work is (say, bates numbering a discovery compilation), the safer it is, but most of the low hanging stuff in this area is already done and most of the new entrants aren't trying to provide new tools in that area.

The big new wave is based on using ML and other tools to search, sort and classify documents for contract management, due diligence, discovery, etc. This is an area where support services already operate. As third parties, these support organizations allow firms to launder responsibility. They can claim that the primary firm is responsible for performing the legal work, which allows them to use non-lawyers to perform the work lawyers would, while simultaneously allowing the primary firm to claim that the searches they perform are defensible and therefore even if mistakes have been made that their efforts were sufficient to discharge their responsibilities.
I personally distinguish between 1)Human Rights, 2) rights as a member of a specific society, and 3) simply things that are "right" to do for peoples in the moral sense.

1. Something that can't be taken away by someone else.

2. A contract between an individual and the country/state with which they are a citizen. In return for paying taxes and following laws, they can expect services, utilities, military, education, etc.

3. These things are not something you're entitled to morally (like water, as there's no one to sue if you don't have water in your region), but societies should recognize the need for water, and thus it is moral and right to help ensure that all people have access.

One thing I hear about the startup environment in Europe is that investors are more conservative and risk-averse compared to those in the US. Would you elaborate on the "essential aspects of an entrepreneurial environment", and the hard changes that would need to be made to improve the situation?

Also curious to hear more about these powerful special interests and "rentiers" - any specific examples in mind?
Agreed, if you are looking at growth as a percentage it's had some crazy fast doublings in the past. I was talking more in terms of overall volume of fiat-denominated trade, or in terms of dollar value increase over time.

The faster percentage growth periods did not see $600+ swing days.
I can't help but read this headline in light of the Equifax ("Equihax") story also on the front page today. "Tracking without consent" seems an odd reason for a government to crack down on a business. Perhaps Google and Facebook, in Europe, aren't allowed to "track without consent" – but other companies can and do. Not just Amazon, as a direct comparison, but apparently credit bureaus and the government themselves are allowed to track me without my consent.

I generally agree that "tracking without consent" is invasive, but if a government is going to use it as a way to extort tech companies for fines I would appreciate a little more consistency in who is being called out.
My hope is that this makes kube-lego unnecessary for kubernetes! Being able to get a cluster spun up with TLS by default would be amazing.

Not sure why you were downvoted.

That's some seriously hairy stuff there. I reckon I'd move to building my app as a kernel module more readily than trying to make a robust async arrangement using that mechanism :) Call me demanding, but I think we should can reasonably expect easier access to async from our OS than this mechanism offers.

On that topic of which.. how's the future of operating systems coming along?

This is very true. Prices might go down under single payer, but more people are covered. Overall, prices may go down, but volume drives overall revenue up.

This was a particularly concerning case: https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/12/14583124/nasa-sidd-bikkan...

Bikkannavar says he was detained by US Customs and Border Patrol and
pressured to give the CBP agents his phone and access PIN. Since the phone
was issued by NASA, it may have contained sensitive material that wasn’t
supposed to be shared. Bikkannavar’s phone was returned to him after it was
searched by CBP, but he doesn’t know exactly what information officials
might have taken from the device.

Once he unlocked his phone, they were gone with it for 40 minutes. Plenty of time to copy the device contents and peruse at their leisure.

Issues between 18:39 and 18:58 UTC. First InternalErrors, then SlowDowns -- I'm guessing due to nodes being taken out of service when they failed.

Given how quickly this was fixed, I suspect they were deploying new code and the rollout was automatically aborted when the elevated error rates were detected.
Yup, it is down for our site. Some of the images are not being loaded. (US-east-1)

'Ellis, who has a degree in applied mathematics and a minor in computer science, had experience in back-end development. But “Google assigned her to an occupationally-segregated frontend engineering role”, the suit said.'

Personal data point: I have a B.S. in Mathematics and a Master's in Bioinformatics (taken after 7 years of PhD study), and I had over three years of backend professional experience when I was hired at Google as a Level 3 in frontend engineering (I was told I was going to a backend position with "lots of math" when I first accepted the offer). Before I left Google I mentored a Noogler who was hired as a Level 3 despite having just finished a PhD in CS.

My point is that Google is filling slots with bodies, very smart bodies, but that it is incredibly common to come in for a level you are overqualified for and a role you are unsuited for.
Tough luck if your requests are triggered by users.
Happening here too (NYC, us-east-1).
That's not true at all. If the company fails, all their union members are out of a job, and the union loses strength. Unions are just as interested in the company staying alive and profitable as the companies are, they just want to share more of the profits with the workers.
Oh I know that's not the case today, but I'm asking OP to justify why law shouldn't be created/modified to handle this sort of situation.
I'm one of those people who are really confused about the whole Python project management situation. Is there a resource where I can learn the equivalent of common operations found in other project management tools such as npm / yarn / cargo?

E.g. is there something like 'cargo run' that just checks that the required python version is installed (I got the impression that this can be specified somewhere), installs deps if they're not installed yet and then runs the main module? Or something like 'npm install --save' that adds the latest version of a package you already know the name of as a dependency and installs it?
Cali weather definitely sounds like paradise.

The truth is from September to May the weather is pretty nice. The nights get chilly and into the 60s, the highs are hardly ever above 90, and from November to March we get actual seasons and winter, without it getting so cold you want to die.

It's a tradeoff. Plus if you don't merely adopt the humidity but are born into it, it really doesn't bother you much. Well, not sure how people live in Houston, but they do.
The dependent typically goes on the Y axis. That said, he does seem to be going at it in a non-intuitive manner (for me, anyway). The cause and effect seem backwards. He's optimizing for a customization level even though that's clearly the cause for happiness, not the other way around.

Not disputing his point, but I agree, the graph is confusing.
You can even get paid real money!
I'm currently running with this approach as well on a Chromebook Plus. I'm still not entirely switched over to using it full-time but it's very usable for a lot of terminal-based development.
The article is kind of implying that the iOS 11 UX was designed in ~2007 so when the Pre came out Apple was annoyed that Palm copied Apple's future UX. Pretty ridiculous.
there's substantial chance the admissions office feels there may be a shoe yet to drop

I'm not inclined to give that possibility much weight compared to the input of the prosecutor and the parole board that know her case in depth. It's easy to make up reasons.

>Russia, and the Russians in the region that was invaded, can justify its mis-deeds as protection of its sovereignty.
America, and thus Americans, cannot.
There were no Americans to protect in Iraq.

And there was no Russians to protect in Crimea, so stop whitewashing Kremlin lies.
Out of curiosity, are you familiar with the fact that "migra" as in "la migra" is short/slang for inmigración, meaning the homeland security folks who detain and deport people in the U.S.?
Face ID and face tagging are unrelated.
> So is your "tracking very closely" counterclaim.

85% is a strong correlation. I even posted the graph for others to make up their own mind. Calling my statement a lie, when it's based on your own subjective determination of what constitutes a close correlation, is hostile and unfair.

>Cause? Without qualification? Not so fast, hoss. Sometimes productivity growth translates into wage increases

Wage growth can only come from productivity growth on any sustained basis, so yes, the latter caused the former.
You're arguing that if there's an available source of water, people should be able to take from it as they choose. But then what incentivizes me to build a plumbing system (which, if I should build, I would claim that I owned) if anyone could just take from it?

Ask HN: Photography Sharing Mobile App
I am developing a mobile application on Android and IOS based on photography community. For example, people go to different city or country can request the local photographer to tour the photography spots with a pay, and the local photographer can make some extra profit by showing the traveler around for the specific location for photography, in addition to shooting his own. Any ideas/feedbacks to attract travelers and photographers into signing the application?
it is really difficult to actually argue that Google is bad. They are doing lots of good stuff. They "abused" their monopoly to push SSL/HTTPS, they recklessly improve web advertisement and so on.

As they have become part of the business establishment, they have been moving this attitude into politics. That's when it gets scary.
I find that the copy/paste terminal stuff and keyboard shortcuts are much better by using an X-based terminal emulator, e.g. xfce:

> Without the NLRA, employees can simply be fired for attempting to organize.

Sort of, but not really. The NLRA does prevent the right to organize, which is mostly (though not exclusively) used in the context of labor unions. The NLRA was passed with the expectation that organization would generally take the form of labor unions. The ability to organize outside of a unionized workplace was specified largely to solve the "chicken and egg" problem of forming a union in the first place.

That said, the NLRA isn't the only thing (or even the primary thing) that prevents employees from being fired for joining a professional association. Which is what I've been saying all along: professional associations are notably different from labor unions which draw their power largely from the NLRA and are overseen by the NLRB.
You're gonna need to provide evidence.
Rotate it 90° counter-clockwise.
So basically you're saying that if you want different behavior based the type of a variable passed to a function, you're going to have to write that behavior...

Then the answer is yes. We haven't advanced to the point where the compiler can guess that you want. If you can give me an actual example of when it would be an insurmountable task to do so, please let me know.
Fixed.

I mistakenly put Experian in the subject line. I bet that comes into play at some point too though.

Well you said there shouldn't be a universal basic income because people wouldn't have a purpose without the job being imposed on them, which seems to take as its premise that people need to have some kind of purpose imposed on them. The big reason unemployed people feel purposeless is because we live in a society where everyone is supposed to have a job or else is a drain on society/shamefully failing to support their families/whatever else. In a world where there's no need to have a job to support yourself who's to say that's still the case? That's not to say there aren't other potential problems, but I'm not sure "purpose" is the real one.
We are noticing the slow down and the rate reduce issue only on GET requests. Our PUT requests seem to be going in just fine.

Civil war in US would be catastrophic for pretty much everyone in EU. Just saying.

Our economies are very dependent. That alone would be catastrophic. It would make Russia, China etc more confident in taking more territories and putting more demands on EU. Handle refugees from there would put a lot of strain on us too. If not-nice-people would won, and civil wars tend to be won by wannabe dictators, we would be even in bigger trouble.
