Obviously the sample "everyone I know" is not representative. Really, there's no reason to ever mention it.

But mentioning it suggests it is representative of something, and if it were a representative sample, 0% of the sample has trait X suggests 0% of the population has trait X.
I used to process accident claims for a major insurance company. I sometimes had to determine if DUI was a factor.

https://www.dmv.org/ca-california/automotive-law/dui.php

Per California's driving under the influence (DUI) laws, it's illegal to operate a motor vehicle with any of the following blood alcohol concentration (BAC) percentages:

0.08% or higher― 21 years old or older operating a regular passenger vehicle.

0.04% or higher―operating a commercial vehicle.

0.01% or higher―younger than 21 years old.

Also, size matters:

If the GP is a big guy and has one or two drinks over the course of the evening with friends and then drives home, he may not ever be stopped. He may be less impaired than, say, someone driving while on cold medicine or short of sleep, which is typically not illegal, but can be significantly impairing.
Word of advice. Don't learn any of the OOP stuff in C++, many learned it, but later they had to unlearn it. Search for data oriented design.
That's a distinction without a difference, they mean the same thing. Not friendly does not imply neutral, it implies not friendly. If I said don't walk through that neighborhood it's not friendly, you would not interpret that as saying it's neutral.

I’ve had 39 Dollar Glasses’ 1.74 index for 2 years and am very happy.

Before 39DG, I ordered Zenni’s 1.74 (in almost identical lens dimensions and effective lens PD). The lenses on Zenni’s glasses were much thicker than any I’d previously had, and than 39DG’s subsequent pair. I don’t know whether Zenni mis-ground them or what. I’ll gladly reorder from 39DG though.

Are there any languages where the different implementations "play well with each other"? Perhaps C? I remember all the hassles of working with different Fortran compilers (and C++ compilers) simply because of different function name mangling in the .o files.

Which major incompatibilities are you thinking of between CPython and PyPy, which are the two I use most often? Are they more severe than the incompatibilities between the different Common Lisp, which the author describes?

(I regard C extensions as implementation-specific features outside of the Python language. The different Common Lisp implementations also have implementation-specific features which are not portable.)

MicroPython is deliberately not Python compatible (differences at http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/pyboard/genrst/index.h... ) but the others have a goal of not having major incompatibilities.

"Great public transport" means what exactly? Even in Japan which is widely recognized as one of the countries with excellent public transport, trains and buses stop at night (and not too late either), so if you are going out, and coming back after midnight it's either your car or a very expensive taxi. Is Munich/Berlin any different?

Mozilla seem to be falling into the same trap as the internet in general, albeit a good long while later. Just a little bit of tracking here, how is that harmful? Just a little bit of tracking there, too. It's really not a problem. Telemetry this browser feature, Google Analytics that addon page. And like the frog in the pan of water, eventually we're all cooked.

Those links all demonstrate that you can make an educated guess about ethnicity from the sound of someone else speaking, but don't establish that you can use physiologically-determined elements of someone's voice as a cue to infer their race.
Good explanation here:

"It’s because their products are index funds. They measure their performance by how well the track the relevant indexes, not their absolute return.

If they have to not invest in stocks that make up an index, they’re more likely to deviate from their target performance.

If you want to make ethical choices with your investing, invest in a product that specializes in such a thing, or invest in individual stocks.

Vanguard having to change VFINX from “S&P 500” to “S&P 500* (* except companies that our board believes support genocide)” would make their performance much more difficult to measure.

I see how the optics are strange, but it’s not Vanguard’s business to be making ethical choices with their passive investment products"

I don't see it as needed because I disagree with the premise that there's a problem in general, and in particular with Damore. I see restrictions on journalism as very dangerous, especially in this particular time when the President of the U.S. is calling for them and many in the GOP support them.

Beyond that, this whole discussion plays as part of the white supremacist narrative - do away with democracy and rights, including freedom of the press, because those things cause white supremacists to lose. But find reasonable-sounding arguments so that political oppression sounds like something to discuss. Which is what Damore tried to do with scientific citations and his posture as a victim - a white male with Harvard and Google on his resume.
In extremely expensive areas like the Bay Area, parking is usually either elevated or underground. Most of the buildings going up in Seattle spend 3-6 months excavating a parking garage.

If they aren't elevated or underground, the land itself is worth hundreds of dollars per square foot, so even if the actual construction is negligible the parking space is still worth $30,000+ that could be used for other things.

Chemically speaking making trees inert is relatively simple, if you look at polylactic acid or rayon, there are a lot of polymers you can make out of cellulose that are practically non biodegradable (though humorously they are often labeled as biodegradable since they will degrade in specific conditions e.g. ground very finely and mixed with a large volume of other material in a high-temperature industrial digester).
> I don’t care if modern technology gives them a way to do it, I have a right to block or otherwise avoid loading whatever I want.

Nobody has any rights whatsoever in this context, neither morally nor legally. It's all the law of the jungle, with the interested users perpetually a step ahead of advertisers, and the average user a step behind.

> Somehow 20 years ago businesses managed to judge how effective their communications/ads were without tracking; let them go back to that.

Well, they really didn't. And now that they've seen how much money they're wasting, it is no longer possible to feign ignorance.

But more important is the fact that the user's interests are not the total opposite of these publishers. Mpst companies publishing serious journalism on the internet, for example, barely break even. Any money they earn is directly invested in the product. Now you can obviously tell them to fuck off and they can't really stop you. But that's a collective action problem, like global warming or littering: if everyone follows your lead, everyone (including you) will suffer.

Many of the advertising practices of the last decade obviously went too far. But they were created not by collective greed, but panic. I wish we'd come up with a compromise that respects both users and creators.
Is this the kind of thing that makes Google's Spanner database possible?
And the full text in the article is:

"However, the two benchmarks where Fortran wins (n-body simulation and calculation of spectra) are the most physics-y. The results vary somewhat depending on whether one compares a single core or quad core machine with Fortran lagging a bit more behind C++ on the quad core."

Though I don't see how the single core version is measured. As far as I can tell, the spectra calculations are always using 4 CPUs while the n-body is always using 1 CPU.

Last year he voted against regulations that made this illegal: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/23/521253258/...

Voting against the regulations means he did not want them to pass, but they did. They were repealed this year, which logically he must have been happy about. Unless he publicly states otherwise, it is fair to conclude that he is happy with the most direct obvious consequences of the repeal.

In theory it's possible that Pai supports the goals of the regulations but disagrees with the means, but has stayed completely silent about his support and made no effort to accomplish the goals through more appropriate means. There is no meaningful difference between that and simply opposing the regulation because he doesn't like its goals.

Sort of, but actually more no.

The way the equations in quantum physics work, this just happens, and there isn't any accounting for distance or space. That's just how it is.

Now, that seems to contradict our intuitive understanding of physics. Things can't be just linked like that without some force or information traveling between them.

So there are a few different interpretations of that quantum weirdness:

1. That's the way things really are, and our natural perception that things don't work that way may have helped us evolve to this point, but is actually wrong on the quantum scale

2. There is a hidden variable (the communication part, like a pilot wave) and we just haven't found it yet.

Broken? Where? Is there a reliable open standard alternative to passing messages to one another with attachments, encryption, self-hosting, and local archiving as actual options on the table? And no, IMs are not an alternative for anything longer than a few lines.

Email is only "broken" if you don't use it properly.
Limestone (calcium carbonate) is even easy to make. You can make it "at home" by dissolving unslaked lime (calcium oxide) in water and blowing bubbles in it with a straw.

The real problem is that calcium oxide is usually converted from limestone via massive calcining, which releases... CO2.
I used to work for a publishing company. No other platform or vendor made us bend over backwards like Amazon. We had to give them the usual non-competitive list pricing that other vendors demand, but we also had to give them a massive, absolutely disproportional cut of the sale price, regardless of profit margin. There were launch date rights they demanded, massive periods of exclusivity for audiobooks in order not to be a second class citizen, total refusal to negotiate terms, etc.

We were not a small publishing house, top 10% by volume nationwide, and (mostly) not paperback trash either. You've probably seen our cookbooks. Didn't matter. They treated us exactly the same as they would an amateur author writing unedited self-pub romance novels. No regard for quality, rating, volume, or any other metric, all must bow before Bezos. Amazon takes such a chunk out of the publishing industry, it actually has a bit of a chilling effect, because you can't afford risk a flop with the tight margins Amazon affords, and you probably need Amazon.
Nobody in journalism makes any money, especially not compared to 20 years ago.

Advertisement revenue was cut in half, because the inventory grew, and the middle men (google and facebook) started taking half of it.

At exactly the same time, subscription revenue also dropped by about a quarter for most publications.

And, at least as important, the cash cow of publishing has almost completely disappeared: classifieds, obits, and job ads.
There isn’t a single DRM scheme that cannot be technically broken even it its with pen and paper.

There is an anime that is based around this concept where the future Earth is filled with too much space debris, so the protagonist joins in a new type of garbagemen (garbagewomen) to go on spacewalks to retrieve space debris.

It's truly amazing how cheap flying has gotten. I flew SEA-LHR for $408 roundtrip on a BA 747 in the cheap fuel days of the early 2000s.

I had never flown anything other than coach before, but I was lucky enough to find a cheap-with-miles business class seat to Europe this summer when I had a break between jobs. I got to fly UA58 SFO-FRA, top deck, mere months before United retires the 747. It was truly an experience; it feels like a private plane up there with only a couple dozen passengers (and more than enough lavatories, no lines!)
That's not true in America.
It's hard to know if there's a lot of people wanting text only or if they're just very vocal. Either way I'll publish my next review in two versions; one with memes and one without. I appreciate you taking the time to tell me
I think that you failed to pick up what I was putting down, and that is that the important bit of that sentence is not meme, but rather the angrier gamer community--the side of the community that is so very worried about ethics in games journalism except only when women or black people are involved and who are so very mad at Bethesda for making a game about shooting Nazis--who are the source of that meme.

It is not credible and it should be roundly shot through when it pops up because of that incredibility.

No doubt banning encryption might also work well (e.g. with government-mandated scanners running on every legal OS) at preventing criminals from using unbreakable encryption.

I think you & I both agree that banning encryption is still not worth it.
I agree that would be funny, but it's too hard to judge. Something can look great today and suck in five years or the other way around.
You're not the first person to tell me this. I'll keep it in mind for my next review. Thanks!
It may not mean the traffic we actually care about. If vehicle miles increase at 3am, when no road is at capacity, there is virtually no externality or negative impact buses.

If people are mainly using Uber/Lyft for those mid-late evening barhopping trips, then the same logic basically applies -- those aren't the times when roads are near capacity.

It would mainly be a problem if they're using it near rush hours, where it would in fact increase the vehicles/person o on the road.
Ask HN: Anyone here work at RedHat? Do they allow commercial personal projects?
I'm thinking about applying for a job at RedHat.

Or is it possible to work at RedHat and also have my own closed source commercial projects?
I still remember my first time.

I was a freshman at Caltech in 1969, and my friends and I were looking for something to do.

We could go to downtown LA for a Chinese dinner, or to Tijuana to see if we could get into Mexico. Didn't work the last time: the border guard said "Hair too long. Go back!"

Or maybe we could visit Pomona College to try to meet some of the young ladies there.

That seemed unlikely, so a trip to LAX it was. We'd heard that the first 747 was there.

We dropped some fake psilocybin and made our way to the airport. No one minded that we were dressed like hippies and acting a bit odd, they were happy to give us a tour of the 747. It was the most awesome airplane in the world!
