This breaks the HN guideline which asks: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

It takes time and self-discipline to follow that rule, but discussion is much better when we do and degenerates badly when we don't. HN's goal is to be interesting. Degeneration is always the same, so isn't.

C++ as it exists now is unsuitable, but I can imagine an alternate history where C++ actually allowed arbitrary compile time execution (better than macros and constexpr). Then someone would have made a library for build system logic, and all the user would have to do is g++ project.cpp.
Yes, I suppose it would be wrong, or at least unfair, to only call people without any negative urges good. It certainly would mean that I myself would be far from good.
On the other hand, given the choice, I would rather be around people without those urges in circumstances where they might lose their self-control, e.g. when they are really drunk. I believe such people do exist, at least those without the urge to rape (I would count myself among the latter, but how can anyone
ever tell? At the very least I never felt the urge, even when black-out drunk or extremely high on psychedelics)
If you’re willing to pass over all sorts of personal information, it’s pretty easy to get much higher lots, on several exchanges.

Absolutely. Pushing a product to a new group of people is innovation. It's innovation in the business aspect, not innovative on the tech side.
I was just reading about Swedish prehistory and there was mention of a drastic climate cooling period.
If you're using C or C++ you can actually get suprisingly far using this approach + ccache. Most C preprocessors are ridiculously fast at this point.
I assumed the point of body cameras was simply for physical evidence after an incident, that cops might "behave" better due to some psychological effect doesn't strike me as important.
I am 45 years old, and work for a very large consultancy (I won't name them here, but you can figure it out if you're curious). I don't actually work as a consultant, but rather on a product.

One of the things I like about working here is that when I go to company events, like the internal conference that I'm at this week, I see people at all age levels. Plenty of young people, but also plenty of people my age or older. And the people older than me aren't coasting until retirement - they're mentoring, leading new initiatives, working on exciting projects. It gives me hope that I'll be able to work on interesting things until I'm ready to retire.

All this to say, there are plenty of companies that value age and experience, but you might have to look outside of the startup scene.
What I'm trying to get at is that coconut water itself isn't some "waste product". Granted, it be might have been an unused material in some coconut processing pipelines (though I'd be skeptical of that, since anyone that spends time with coconuts knows there's some good stuff in there).

Fresh, for me, refers to having coconut water where the coconut was cut off the tree minutes prior to being opened up. I don't know enough about how Zico and the like are process to speak with any intelligence as to how it might affect the end-product.

EDIT: that being said, I wouldn't pay $6/liter for coconut water. That's overpriced by a long shot, IMO.
Good article about physical security and a intro to social engineering.

As an aside I think the easiest way to get into buildings which are associated with a technology company like this would be to apply for a job there. At worst you will be there for an hour. At best it would be eight hours. Also, there is a lot of downtime in between interview(s) or even just plain waiting on someone. You can get "lost" and if you get caught you could say "where is the bathroom".
There are tons of solutions that aren't hunting, but animal rights activists are just as shrill about those.
This is a very interesting point. One distinction I'm getting hung up on is that this dilution is in the form of a different currency (Ethereum classic, Bitcoin Cash), not in Bitcoin itself. So the "dilution/inflation" effect comes in the form of competing currencies. In these events, do you have a sense of what mechanisms might affect whether the new currencies gain traction?
you are exactly right, but all the same criticisms apply to fiat.

the difference between fiat and bitcoin is that bitcoin cannot be arbitrarily manipulated by the state.

there is a fairly large, latent inflationary pressure on the dollar in the form of the national debt that has no credible prospect of reversing. the dollar has been a historical safe haven, but there is a reason that china is trying madly to diversify its foreign currency reserves.

Ask HN: How do you check a url is valid?
So it is trivial to check a url is valid using regex, but if you wanted to take this one step further and make sure it is a valid domain name that is registered and actually in use...how would you do this? I have a few ideas for how to achieve this with a Microservice but I feel like others may have solved this problem before and there may be better solutions out there.
you have to buy with borrowed money, sell the stock and then buy the same amount at a lower price to make money shorting, I do not believe you will short them or have the capital to make significant money doing so but it is interesting to see the value you place on your analysis
I disagree, the premise of design-by-contract and clean code methodologies is that functions must ensure the integrity of the data handled by them.
The last line in the article refers to that very twitter account.
> So no I don't regret passing up on buying BTC, precisely because it was and is a lottery ticket and I'm not in the business of buying lottery tickets no matter how well conceived they may be.

Dude, this is nonsense. Everyone regrets passing up on buying BTC because it's currently worth $6k because you can sell it right now for that money. Anything else is complex rationalization to make yourself feel better.
>I think people get a skewed perception of the police force from a relatively small number of highly publicized incidents.

...who receive lots of back up from other police officers, superiors and the law.
This is trivial to argue against, though. Officer heads to restroom to help patient that is having seizures. Heck, officer heads anywhere to help citizen having seizures.

(Substitute any of a number of incidents and the argument remains mostly the same.)

Is it public record that it happened? Yes. Should it be shielded from anyone knowing? I don't think so. Should it be publicly broadcast? Almost certainly not.
> so there is NO downside to getting in. None.

Well except the part about possibly losing everything you put in...
Also Winston Churchill bragging about letting 2 million Indians starve. Stalin was trying to stop farmers from burning their own crops. It's interesting how one sided most of our "common knowledge" of the last century is.
I also like Nix. Can you share your particular workflow?

Also, how does your workflow handle ‘snapshot’ / temporary dependencies?
We're not currently able to predict the actual earthquakes at all, only probabilities of likelihood on very large timescales. I could see it being useful to predict future damages to certain buildings/areas based on existing data, assuming an earthquake happened.

>Instead, I've always thought they were good for those particularly difficult "he said / she said" cases that capture public attention.

I agree, but at what price point would you say it's worth it?

In principle I want bodycams, but with this new study it's making me wonder if pragmatically it's really worth spending millions of dollars each year just for a handful of difficult 'he said / she said' cases to be better resolved.

Probably it still is given that these small handful of cases get the biggest media attention / public backlash that hurts the image of the police. In that sense bodycams can almost be thought of as a public relations expense.

Apple Sued Over 'Animoji' Trademark
The tl;dr of Iceland's colonization is: Norse settlers arrive, placement in society is based on how big of a farmer you are. Thus they overgraze and unlike their native Scandinavia they're doing this on a volcanic island with really thin topsoil, so the overgrazing leads to runaway topsoil erosion and dustbowlification. This leads to desperate logging of the last of the trees around for firewood and housing.

It's never remotely recovered, but that process is slowly starting just now. I was trying to find a photo like the one you just posted but couldn't. There's lots of examples like that where the plant biodiversity in an area where the sheep can't get to is night & day compared to the area right next to it where they can.

Which is not to say that those specific trees are old growth forest or anything like that. Icelanders pretty much lived in mud huts until after WWII in large parts of the country. If the sheep didn't get to a place like that some guy would have certainly swam over there to gather firewood. But it'll have been left alone by sheep and man in the last several decades, which as you can see makes a huge difference.

Edit: Here's an even more stunning photo of an island in the middle of a river that because of the depth of the river has been left alone by both man & grazers: http://www.skogur.is/media/frettir-2014/myndasafn-storar/Vid...

The accompanying article (in Icelandic, but it translates ok-ish) says that compared to the land around it it has a lot more biodiversity and a better topsoil, similar to other areas in the country protected from grazers that they've studied: http://www.skogur.is/um-skograekt-rikisins/vidburdir/2014/04...

> I find this idea very toxic. If the state can send an agent somewhere...

if the cops bust into your house because they misread the address of the warrant (something which happens regularly), and they capture some video of you walking around eating cereal naked, do you think that should immediately and irrevocably go up on youtube?
This is yet another article improved by noscript.
Replace talking about a rape with any of many reasons the police might be called and it makes just as little sense to have all these videos public.

Super innocent example: A 14 year old kid breaks their leg and the cops show up to them in agony and crying. Would be very easy for a few people that dislike them to plaster them crying all over social media. Yes, the event was public to begin with, but the chances of one of the bullies walking by and snapping their own photos is almost nil.

A lot of people that are interacting with the police are in a very vulnerable state, it would be asinine to expose that to the world. The thought that it will create "good will" with the public is entirely backwards in my opinion, if I'm in trouble and I know if I get the cops that I may end up all over the internet it may keep me from calling them at all.
I think the term "Social Engineering" is making this seem so fun and technical, if we started using the words "fraud" or "identity theft", or "impersonation", maybe companies and lawmakers can give it the legal and enforcement attention this issue desperately needs.

Not a judgement of the article or Sophie, more just terminology which makes it difficult for non-technical people to understand the gravity of these attacks
I'm interested in a filtering method as well.
Note that Ren-C (a fork of Rebol that is only tangentially related to Ren) uses `blank` or literal `_`.

The language concept is a bit more fundamental than config files. Rebol (and Ren-C and cousin Red) is a fully homoiconic language that itself has tools for parsing and interpreting DSLs ('Dialects' to use the language's nomenclature) that use the same language rules. In essence you do indeed get the lexer for free.

Would recommend a wee read of:
http://blog.hostilefork.com/why-rebol-red-parse-cool/

I've argued that Ren is somewhat redundant as it fills the same space that Rebol does though Rebol lacks a formal specification at this time.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, with very good reason, has classified him a a White Nationalist https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/indi...

The writings that I've read by him (which I admit, isn't much) can be summarized as "minorities are genetically inferior because... science." (and the subtext is a lot nastier)

I'll agree I want no part of whatever Charles Murray's vision of America should be. I also wouldn't classify any of his writings as "incredibly important," his writings on race are largely discredited.

I think the "de-religioning" is a symptom, not a cause, and that the disease itself is a widespread decay of a sort old-America style of empathy.

curllib will tell you whether there's something there, presuming the network is available.

In fact, a simple HEAD request will suffice for that.

That would also prove that the domain is registered, presuming DNS is working.
Look life is filled with lottery tickets with unknowable odds, playing every lottery out there just in case you win is foolish and a misallocation of resources. I'd much rather invest it into myself and build a game where I know the odds.

correct. It was on a VERY low-end laptop GPU though, so returns probably wouldn't have been very high, which is why I shut it off.

Twitter Updates Its Terms of Service for the Trump Era
Disclaimer: this is just my personal views, so I may be missing something here.

'unknown' is almost like saying "We don't know what should be here", while 'none' is closer to saying "We didn't get passed any information here".

Ultimately, I feel like 'unknown' is more specific, it conveys intent beyond that of 'none'. Such as, it could imply we actually don't know what kind of data 'Opinions' should hold, rather than that there merely happens to be no data to put there.

Doesn't matter. Even if I only absorbed 90% of the water I drank, I could just drink 1.111 L of water to get 1 L of "hydration", and it would still be cheaper than drinking 1 L of Brawndo, the Thirst Annihilator.

On a money cost basis, in any place on Earth that has municipal drinking water on tap, drinking that water is the cheapest way to hydrate your body. Whether or not "best" includes the money cost is a matter of opinion, but most people at least include it as a factor.

The same goes for a lot of "superfoods". On a cost basis, whatever you get from 100g of the "superfood" can probably be obtained by eating 200g of something else, sold at a much lower price. Or it's only of interest to vegans, because the "something else" is an animal product. People on western diets just aren't limited by nutrition content. If you eat your normal calorie quota--even a reduced quota from a weight-loss diet--you can always get adequate nutrition from just the normal, healthy, non-"super" foods. There's nothing stopping you from eating a bucketful of broccoli with a bit of salmon, and skipping the wheatgrass-kale-chia-pomegranate super-smoothies forever.

Black and white perspectives aren't helpful. When a policing event happens in a private space, a home for example, there are multiple stakeholders whose interests will not always align.
Plenty of mountain lions in suburban California. I've seen them in Palo Alto and Cupertino (in the mountains that are on the edges of the cities).

The people decided it was better to live with mountain lions instead of killing them off in 1990, after we killed off the grizzly and the wolf in the state. http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?...

I don't remeber ARM, MIPS, x86 or x64 having a good GC history either.

If WebAssembly is good enough as C and C++ target, it is good enough as any of those processors.

As for the potencial of WebAssembly, there are already ongoing efforts to port .NET and Java runtimes to it, and I am looking forward to Adobe porting Flash to it as well.

So it will come, WebAssembly + Canvas + WebGL is already quite usable.

I think maybe it was downvoted because it misses the point, just as the article misses the point. Behavior change would be nice but the real benefit here is accountability. So what if there were 1.6% (made up number) rate of reported bad behaviors, and now the rate is still 1.6% -- the point is that in those 1.6% of cases, there is now the best kind of evidence to ensure that the facts are represented accurately when these cases are adjudicated. That accurate portrayal of facts will actually protect both cops and citizens.
An economic solution lies in wait. What is the impact of settlements in "he said / she said" cases resolved in the defendant's favor? Is it "millions of dollars each year"?
The industry itself is only a few decades old.. it'll take some time before it stabilizes to a point where you can largely do the same thing your entire career.

Not yet, but I think we can all foresee an instance or two becoming a haven for trolls, etc.

Perhaps you're just missing the complexity of the real world?

I'm working on quite big finite element desktop applications, where alone the reading of the data can take up quite a bit of time. The user can then apply all kinds of different operations on this data and if one of these operations fails because of a null pointer - then sure, the code is wrong - but nevertheless the user doesn't want to loose all of his previous work and wants to be able to save the changed data.

Sure there're cases that a failed operation might have corrupted the data, but you just can't tell this in every case, and often the data is still valid and only the operation couldn't be applied.

If I've learned something over the years, then that there's not one solution that works for all cases.
With the data sizes you listed, I would consider using Spark and Spark SQL in local mode (--master local[*]). You can grab Spark from the Apache website, install it wherever you like on your laptop, and start using spark-shell immediately with Scala, Java, or Python.
