Wow, seems I touched a nerve by mentioning the patriarchy! The GP claims that we ought to restrict women's choice in marriage to ensure each man a wife… amazing that this position seems to be considered unassailable here. Some reading for thought:

Yes, that is something I've heard repeatedly. There is a small amount of restrictions possible using "Ingredient Blacklist" which blacklists can blacklist ingredients that contain the word "cheese" or anything else someone can think of.

The issue with that solution is obvious.

The big issue that is preventing rolling this feature out is the recipes I collect aren't usually tagged with dietary restrictions so it is up to me to figure out how to tag recipes correctly using what ingredients it contains.

I would rather the feature be correct rather than a rough MVP since my partner has severe food allergies and I know how frustrating it can be.

I will work on implementing this into the SaaS offering.
That is far from being a scorching lesson, a prompt disbarment would be one.

Traffic congestion and red lights often make it so that it's actually just as fast to go anywhere on a bike (at least in major cities, I know for a fact that it is in Paris at least). Though, it really depends on the ability to go between lanes and pass through red lights (which is actually legal in Paris on some corners if you take a left/right turn).
So people can have a right to visit the inside of your home? Or did you not actually mean every single part?

> PCIe 3.0 was finalized a decade ago. Equating old cards to a technical limitation is ridiculous.

No, it's not. Not when the cards people are using are targeted at PCIe 2.0/1.1.

Since the context was 10GBit cards, most people are using the Mellanox card I linked to, which is PCIe 2.0.

Whine about the age of the standard all you want, what's on the market today and in use by a majority of home users is PCIe x8 for 10GBit.
Lol this is not an overstep? What the hell? A bunch of these people who live long term in the US are going to become permanent residents and/or citizens of the country. Now they can no longer freely express their opinions on social media without fear of offending the authorities.
Yes, maybe it uses something other than gradient descent, but why? Nothing works nearly as well by comparison. In a chip we can do things we can't do in the brain, such as sending gradients back on the same connections.

When you say "its stated interface," are you referring purely to the prototype, or are you referring to documented behaviors, or what? Because it seems reasonable to me for a function with no parameters to have prerequisites before you call it, and it seems unreasonable to say that it must be valid to call a function with no parameters in any and all circumstances.

Ask HN: GANDI registrar refuses to fix security hole. What to do?
We are a long-time Gandi customer and have hundreds of domains registered with them. After their last hack when one of our domains was serving malware we started reviewing security of our domains (see last hack here: https://domainnamewire.com/2017/07/15/bad-guys-get-gandi-nets-password-technical-provider-redirect-domains/)

What we discovered was very troubling. We managed to transfer domain out of our Gandi account without any authorization from our side. To make matter worse, that domain was protected using Domain-lock feature.

We of course reported that to Gandi. That was 2 months ago. Since then we communicated with Gandi legal department many times and they say they are looking into this but they say we are wrong.

2 weeks ago our patience run out, we have migrated all domains that can be affected by this hack (again verifying that hack is still not fixed) and contemplating what to do next.

We could leave it of course and just wait if Gandi come to their senses, or wait until something bad happens.

What do you think is the best way to deal with this? I am hoping that if that post gets noticed more they will be forced to prioritize this fix.

That is a weird position to hold. Surely he must realize that it will work some day; or does he believe there is something more to human-like intelligence, that can never be achieved in silicon? I'm not saying we are close, or that the currently available tools are enough, but at some point in the future we will be there.
Yup, actually I do think they have the resources to do that. I don't doubt anything, anymore. Wonder why NASA is so defunded? Not to be a conspiracy guy, but realistically thinking if you aren't collecting information that's low fruit such as social media data - what are you going after, then?

I'm pretty sure there is a very small intersection between the group of Americans who would travel internationally and be annoyed by this and the Americans who support policies like this.
That would simply adjust the definition of "normal", since everybody's doing it. For example, it's now "normal" that liquids are banned in airports (except, of course, for those sold at a premium once past "security"; and except for pesto https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/23/genoa-airport-... ).

I think, in general, that it's better to do the opposite: if someone wants to do a stupid thing, make them look as strange as possible; try do the exact opposite thing, so that their rationale (e.g. "otherwise terrorism") is undermined. Plus, of course, that opposite thing might be a good idea on its own.
I think this is a bit overblown.

It doesn't mention they'll be requesting passwords, only "handles, aliases, [...] search results [and] publicly available information". I mean, everything is already accessible on the internet (to the extent I want it to be), and accessible by merely a Google search of my name (which is written on my passport), so anyone (not just Homeland Security) could easily collect this info anyways (even without me being anywhere _near_ the US).
Insane border laws has been consecutive added by the US for the last 16 years ever since 9/11. It would be nice if the trend could be reversed.

Define "immigrant"? Honestly, that can mean any class of things in loose definition of the term. I bet some Senator on the Intelligence Oversight committee, says legally speaking if your definition is everyone that is not Native American - you are an immigrant - just to fudge the law, until someone says you can't do that. The perverse intelligence community can only become perverse, if both the public holds the government accountable, but then the body of oversight - Congress, our elective official body of representation (noting the President doesn't really count anymore) - makes it so. It's gonna eventually happen, if it hasn't already started as of a decade ago (or more).

Absolutely! I'm in DC, not NYC, but..

Driving means: walk 1-3 blocks to my car, drive it in slow(and extremely variable based on time) traffic, circle the block a half dozen times to find a parking space, probably having to pay.

Biking on the other hand means: I walk outside, bike where I'm going at the same speed every day, and lock up when I get there.

I've frequently beaten my friends when going places in the city and I have my bike and don't wanna leave it behind so I bike and they cab/drive.
Is it rude to say whoosh on hn?
Or... walk? For a lot of trips in central Manhattan, walking ten or twenty uptown blocks or cross-town for a few blocks is often the easiest way to get from point A to B. Personally, I don't really bike but I'm not sure the last time I felt I needed to take a cab in NYC.
There's a nice hotel outside of the official park. I forget the name but it was quiet and comfortable. So, there is that.

In London they have teams of people unloading truckloads of bikes to places where all the lots are empty. I don't know how cost effective it is but it seems to be working pretty well
I didn't say it has happened overnight. The idea doesn't change.
My commute in London is faster by bike than any other mode of transport. The distance I cover in 30 minutes of cycling would take 45 minutes to drive (most of that stuck in traffic) and around 50 minutes on public transport. During the day cycling is very frequently the fastest way to get somewhere. Driving is also incredibly variable - one broken down bus or accident and you're looking at a 30 minute delay. Cycling is incredibly consistent - you do get slowed down by more traffic, but only slightly.

RDBMS are such a production kill.

imagine you just received two TB data sets, and you'd like to join them and run a process. In hive, you create the schema (pretty simple) and join them. queries may take a few minutes but you get to doing the work you intended all along.

In RDBMS, you have to fus with its schema, "you said 125 characters for that string field and you just received 130, FAIL". Its a STRING JUST DEAL WITH IT. you have to create indexes and fus with all sorts of relational nonsense when it has little to do with the work you are trying to accomplish.

take your billion row database, and now you need to add a new field. its going to read the entire table into memory and re-write it back to disk, meanwhile you aren't doing the work you were trying to accomplish.

relational databases are great for small static data, but when you deal with new large messy data every day, they sap all your time.

The problem with trying to achieve JND for online publishing formats is that you have to account for variable monitor settings and lighting conditions. What stands out on my monitors at home might be barely noticeable on the crap displays at the office or my laptop under some lighting conditions or when I have it set to low power.

On top of technological differences, you also need to contend with variances in people's eye-sight.

Underlining is far simpler and more reliable. Perhaps highlighting with an underline as the link is drawn or scrolls into view, and fading the underline out soon after, to be drawn again if the pointer hovers over the paragraph or the page scrolls, would work?

The application to naturalized citizens but not born Americans won't stand up to the barest Constitutional challenge. Specifically, the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment:

"""
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
"""

The Supreme Court held in Bolling v. Sharpe that the due process clause of the 5th Amendment imposes the equal protection responsibility on the federal government as well as the individual states.

From your link(I can only read the abstract) “Court has insisted for more than a century that foreign nationals living among us are "persons" within the meaning of the Constitution, and are protected by those rights that the Constitution does not expressly reserve to citizens. Because the Constitution expressly limits to citizens only the rights to vote and to run for federal elective office, equality between non-nationals and citizens would appear to be the constitutional rule.“
You are comparing cryptocurrencies to highly regulated securities markets. I don't think that is a fair comparison yet. From the average person cryptocurrencies look exactly like a Ponzi Scheme. People who got in early are most likely to make money. Many other could as well. But the majority will not and if a majority tried to get out we'd find that there is not enough liquidity in the market to back it. Maybe someday it will be fair to compare cryptocurrencies to securities, but for now it's is closer to junk bonds or a ponzi scheme. And I don't think a marketing and branding campaign is what it needs, it's structure and security.

Definitely. I've cycled in London for a long time (though I'm slightly out of town now) and depending on the time of day, it can be the fastest way to get across the city.

There are a few factors to consider. There are places you can go by bike that aren't always available to cars (cycle paths through parks, for example). You'll get from the exact starting point to exact finishing point. And general congestion will take care of the rest.

In a slightly different way, where I am now, the fastest way to get to work is to cycle 20 minutes to a more convenient train station and take the train in. The alternative is a) much less reliable and b) takes an extra 45 minutes (minimum).
I live in a much, much smaller state-university city - but I bike between campuses and beat my coworkers in cars every time.
In Seattle, many trips of 3-6 miles are fastest by bike. Faster than transit or car even without including parking time. There are quite a few dedicated bike paths that make it smooth sailing for most of the trip.
Not much love for biking here; You'd almost think that most of the people on Hacker News are from Californian suburbs...

Seriously though, biking in cities is great. It's one of those critical mass problems where the more people that do it the better the infrastructure gets, the more aware drivers become and there is a herd mentality where bikers tend to flow together making them more predictable and therefore safer to be around.

I bike and drive in Toronto [i probably drive more than bike, depends on the weather and somewhat the mood i'm in], both have big up and downsides, just be considerate to everyone which ever you're taking part in!

Edit: I forgot to say, those Citi bikes in NYC [Bikeshare in Toronto, Santander in London] have a special cohort of people riding them. The bikes are so slow [heavy!!!], and the riders are casual riders. I love that it gets people moving, and I use them from time to time, but damn the whole experience of riding next to one is scary even as another biker.
same here, but it's nice to know you're needed.

How much will buying DuckDuckGo help if they can't continue using Yahoo, Bing, Yandex, results? I assume the major search engines won't be as happy letting Apple use their indexes as they are with small DuckDuckGo.
Absolutely - it's fair to say that in many cities bikes will often get you there faster (or at least, more reliably) than vehicles at rush hour (and for a lot of journeys, most other times too.)

If I had to prioritise the reasons I cycle to work, speed and cost would come above the other things you mention - although they're nice bonuses.
Sounds more like network over-loads and distribution issues than overall power shortages to me. Both result in power outages, yet are different fish to fry.
They've tried hard with Bing for so many years now. It's also profitable. They re-did their Yahoo deal a few years ago too. They care about Bing it seems, but it's clear they can't make much headway.
