Easiest Supreme Court error to find:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn

"Wickard thus establishes that Congress can regulate purely intrastate activity that is not itself 'commercial', in that it is not produced for sale"

So what the authors of the Constitution meant by "interstate commerce" is "intrastate not-commerce."

For those of you not aware, this is one of the biggest power grabs of the federal government in US history. This decision is used to allow the commerce clause to cover huge swaths of authority.
You should see what tourists will pay for certified organic wild Maine blueberries. The only difference between them is they come from a field that wasn't sprayed.

They pay three times the price and six times the wholesale price. They are the same berries, harvested the exact same way.

You can double the price again, if you have someone hand pick them instead of raking them. Even better, you can charge them about the same price and let them pick the berries themselves.
That is interesting. I agree that things along this line are most worrisome. My thought process always goes to an AI recognizing that a lot of human activities are self destructive or destructive to others/nature and prohibits those activities. Meaning not necessarily actively deciding all humans should die but deciding to not allow us to do much of anything because it is a net loss. I think this points to having AIs that are specialized and isolated. Very thought provoking for sure....
Apple Stock is up 34% in the last year [1].

Its only over the last 2 months that it is very slightly down or flat.

Seems like iPhone 8/X was already priced in the stock and its going mostly as expected.

I like offensive Microsoft. It seems they learned the lesson from Ballmer time. And now they are in offense, trying to catch Google.
This stuff is not magic. But it requires a lot of reading and hunting for proper documentation on a platform as convoluted as x86. An ARM board would probably be way easier to play with. I never looked at the Pi. How well does it lend itself to this type of hacking?
> Violent Groups.
We will start suspending accounts for organizations that use violence to advance their cause.

Surely this is just the spirit of the rule and not the literal definition? Or will all nation states be suspended from Twitter?
That's pretty nice. I remember using it before, but maybe my selections were better this time. Thanks! Though, if you filter for 'English' it still gives second result with description "Une instance francaise...'

Also, I found a solution for the language issue, by adding a regex filter:

.*[^\u0000-\u007F].*

It may be over-filtering a little, I am not sure. But better to filter too much than not enough, I guess.
That looks horrific to pass when the time comes?

Glorifying violence would also cover huge amounts of video media.

I'm all for this, but I seriously doubt we'll see Twitter stand up to movie/television studios.
One of the things I think all social websites should take away from these rules is:

Processes that requires making value judgements do not easily scale.

There is so much in just this small list of changes that really cannot be automated or done without some kind of human interaction.
It's a bit silly to argue against absolute atheism (belief in no god) when the article simply says the growing population don't believe in a god (and this - agnosticism - is conflated with atheism to the confusion of many and benefit of those who argue for religion).
15% savings could also be the threshold of complacency vs pain for most people. Most insurance companies probably show a 15% savings for people to go through the hassle of switching.

Yes, I think everyone is in agreement that Javascript is broken.
Is that not the entire purpose of having the security guard though? If they are uncomfortable doing their job maybe they need to find a new one.
I think you mean EDM, electrical discharge machining. Typical wire EDM usually needs a hole all the way through the material to start, but sinker EDM would work. Interesting idea, wonder if anyone's tried it.
All those firms you've mentioned are already too big. Anything they do will generate scrutiny so they've stopped innovating. That's why Google is trying to take up role as an 'angel investor.' https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/13/google-and-amazon-are-ready-...
Mongo's current cashflow is negative, and the trend is increasingly negative.

I had a look at their prospectus, which describes the bulk of their revenue as subscriptions. Subscriptions sound like good unit economics. It's instructive to compare their pitch to investors to the pitch they make their customers: http://s3.amazonaws.com/info-mongodb-com/TCO_MongoDB_vs._Ora...

When Mongo talk to their customers, they describe the license cost as $0 --- they fold that into support. That sounds more like a service.

In other words: customer fires $100k of staff, pays Mongo $80k in "subscription", Mongo hires $120k of staff, which they tally up as "customer success". There's no expense category for support in their prospectus, so clearly the support personnel are filed under "sales and marketing".

It's the same old story. They're just selling $1 bills for $0.80 a piece.
Any time you suspend people, you need an escalation path, and you need real support people behind that. So you can't just turn on all the things until you staff up.
Near criminally stupid though. Not only did they have issues with two separate control surfaces, a unplanned stall and a safety violation on takeoff, they did all of these things for a marketing piece establishing the plane was safe. This at a time where metal fatigue and structural load was not well understood, as the Europeans where finding out as their planes decompressed explosively midair.

There was a 747-SP that went supersonic by accident and was only saved by the crew deploying the landing gear to slow the plane down. He amount of damage was non trivial.

Someone will probably jump all over the critics of Douglas and point out Boeing’s Tex Johnson’s barrel row. 1) that was not endorsed by the company and 2) was a neutral G maneuver. 3) the company appropriately freaked and told him never to do that again.

We have occupational safety and standards operating procedures for a reason.
"Everyone is just deceiving themselves and everyone else" is not a logical position to stand on.

I'll also point out this is a novelty account with negative karma.
I agree with most of your points but you can definately out train excess calories, probably not if you have other commitments like a family or a job, but if you hike all day everyday or are on an extended bike tour you are probably actually going to have trouble getting enough calories and can basically eat as much as you can without consuming too much.
I think the big question here is our President's tweets…
I really like that you are clear about what is free and how much it cost. Plus I welcome the idea. It is successful in China and it is needed.
Yes, multimodality is often a problem for mcmc clustering or dimensionality reduction. However, if you use the SVD method to estimate PCA you only have a bimodal distribution since SVD is identified up to the sign. Asymmetric initialization is usually enough to solve the problem.

This thread has some good examples of PCA implementations in STAN. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/stan-users/5R2-QUDiy...
Thanks. The hard part is that delayed gratification is very hard for me. I can somewhat get by when I run out by popping caffeine pills. The problem is that it is pretty much impossible to keep myself out of the situation of wanting to take Adderall at night because it happens when I'm taking my nightly meds, which I just can't avoid. The other option would be to switch off of the Adderall onto something else but I'm afraid I'll be falling asleep at my desk again.

Thanks for your advice though.
>Removing terms like “recent graduate” and “digital native” could help encourage older professionals to apply for these positions.

Or, "you'll join a young team of developers ...", a type of phrasing that makes it very clear who will be a "culture fit" and who probably won't.

Recently I came across a job ad from a SV startup company that contained the text "We are looking to hire talented young developers for backend development" . The message doesn't get much clearer than that.
I haven't used BS4 so you might be right - glad to see improvement in that area!
Side by side, the 8 is impressively faster than the 7. I don't know about cameras or anything, but the CPU upgrade was no joke.

> A lawsuit challenging the doctrine on First Amendment grounds, Red Lion Broadcasting Co., Inc. v. Federal Communications Commission , reached the Supreme Court in 1969. The Court ruled unanimously that while broadcasters have First Amendment speech rights, the fact that the spectrum is owned by the government and merely leased to broadcasters gives the FCC the right to regulate news content.

Yeah. I saw a similar article to the one linked above and wrote about my own thinking: https://jakeseliger.com/2017/10/18/apple-isnt-selling-as-man..., which is similar to that expressed here.
Your other comment about NFLX makes you seem suspiciously and hilariously like a sock-puppet account so I can't actually be candid on that now.

For getting vendors to do things, it helps that I have a 8-figure HW spend. I'm not GOOG/FB, but it's enough in what vendors call "cloud services provider" tally that their sales orgs are very hungry for. I have great and fledgling relationships with Intel, SuperMicro, Dell, Chelsio, Cavium, and now IBM in the context of FreeBSD for high throughput scale out workloads.
I believe the political class will use "AI risk" as a rationalization for tyranny, poverty and enforced ignorance on the population, long before any actual risk materializes from an AGI.
I want one of these so bad. I actually programmed a hex numpad mode, including ABCDEF, onto my Ergodox layout.
So you weren't expecting bad user input? Bad for you!

This is called validation, and in a validation routine you expect bad invalid data. Check inputs at the trust boundaries, and off you go.

Note this is NOT about just null pointers but about integrity in general.
Looks neat, one thing I love about my RSS reader still is it doesn't try to guess what I like. I have all my sites in there, many of them are blogs, and while most of them focus on a topic, they also post random stuff that's just interesting. I'm afraid of losing that. It's like what Facebook and Twitter do "for" me when they pick and choose what I see there.

It's like browsing the shelves of a library vs. using Amazon's recommendations. Sometimes a recommendation from some algorithm is fine, sometimes it's cool to just browse the shelves.

My feed reader is still one of my favorite things because it shows me random stuff I had no idea I'd be interested in because the sites I've picked are already doing a good job. I'm afraid if something else filters out the things it thinks I don't like then I'm going to lose out on some really interesting things. This is exactly how I found Hacker News, I had no idea what this site was before it just turned up in my feed reader a few years ago.

(I'm way old school when it comes to my feeds probably)
I jumped from 6 to 8s and it is astounding the speed difference. I am of the every other generation buyer. That and I am not ready to give up my touch id and habits in how I use it. Throw in that for some reason that notch on the X just bothers me
I did exactly this. I waited for the announcements, then went and bought iPhone 7 the next day. iPhone 8 is simply not big enough update to justify the price difference, and iPhone X is not something that I'm interested in (price or feature wise).
Homeland? That's exactly what a FBI agent tries to do, but gets caught in that TV series. But yeah, guess it works most of the time.
I will never understand the decision to name the new model "ten" instead of "ex". It made the iPhone 8 two generations obsolete before it even arrived.

Either way, demand for the X will inevitably shift this blip in the other direction after it hits the streets and people see it in action.
Signatures? Is this an America-thing? Me and my MasterCards go back sort of a long way, pens and paper never involved.
I have one of these on my desk (got it as conference swag, use it for occasional hex typing). One note is that the colon keys are represented as e.g.:

There are sound theoretical reasons to think that antioxidant ingestion ought to be good for you and the antioxidants in your body are certainly important. But all the research I've seen on the matter is that ingesting extra antioxidants has the opposite of the effect you'd expect. I'd guess this is some homeostasis related interaction but I don't think anybody actually knows why.
The FAQ specifically addresses this and states that it's a real thing that you can buy and have delivered. It is likely a great gag gift.

That being said, the cringe-worthy use of female model photos on every single page certainly help make this page kinda hilarious.

It was an unintended side effect of attempting to use gene augmentation developed for humans, causing a mutation and disease to spread. They developed a cure with help from the crew of the enterprise/phlox but that cure didn't immediately fix the mutations, it took generations.

That's why I called it an accident.
I hate to say it, but I will never forget the day I first stumbled upon PF.

Up to that point, setting up a router/firewall had been exceedingly painful, using Linux and iptables.

The syntax of pf.conf is beautiful. Somebody (I forgot who) once said that in order to write a rule set one needs to consult the (excellent) man page constantly, but once it is done, reading and understanding it takes no effort at all. As far as the "UI" goes, PF is so far ahead of anything I know of that most other metrics to judge a firewall / packet filter by seem to disappear.

Just to be clear: I have nothing against Linux, in fact most of my computers run Linux. But the syntax of pf.conf is just so sweet, once I tasted it, it spoiled me forever. And now iptables scripts look like something out of a Lovecraftian nightmare.

There are certain people who benefit from inflation (banks who loan money, governments who have their debt denominated in fiat currency) and there are people who lose from inflation (anyone who saves their money in fiat, the value of which goes down the more money that’s printed). There is no such thing as something that’s “good/bad” for a “country” — countries don’t exist, only people do.

Also, Bitcoin IS inflationary, there will continue to be more Bitcoin creates until sometime around year 2140 when the 21 Million supply cap is reached. It’s just not nearly as inflationary as fiat currencies, which have no cap and no one knows how much more will be created from year to year.
What is the benefit of containing neurotransmitters? I hit up Wikipedia and see they carry signals. I'm not seeing how that is a benefit, however. They appear to carry any signal, not some special signals. Unless one has too few (I'm not sure what might even cause that) then I'm not seeing why that's beneficial.
What do you practically use the extra speed for?

I've got a 7+ and frankly I'm struggling to see what more I could want. So probably going to skip a generation.
When I saw the headline my first reaction was to think "hah I bet it's called Ren because it's a data-exchange format for people", then I saw 仁 and thought - ah that's a much better choice.
iTalki seems to only support signup via Facebook. That's not so good, for those who do not wish to do it that way. I've seen many other web sites/apps that do that (or signup via Google), but most of the others also support the regular method of signing up by creating an account and giving your email address. Wish iTalki did too :(
That's why in germany the first course in the first semester of CS teaches you three things: imperative programming, functional programming and logical programming. That way you can choose your favorite programming paradigm early on in your career and don't get surprised and wonder what would have been if you found it earlier in your career.
I hope other countries teach programming like that as well

What is the issue with the ID structure? I would think generating your own ID's would make the process of updating rows when you get new data much more difficult. Also, is there a reason why dropping the database and adding these records is an issue. Updating records could certainly add some complexity in terms of the data in the file changing.

I would consider going one of two ways:

A: Do all of the data transformation in Postgres. Load it into a staging table using COPY and load the data into a target table.

B: Do the data transformation in Python and just load it into a target table in Postgres. I have had some pretty good success using pandas and pandas.toSQL to do this sort of thing with files > 1 MB but <1GB.

It basically comes down to whether you are more comfortable manipulating the data in SQL or Python
FLINKS PARTNERS WITH MERCHANT ADVANCE CAPITAL

I do not really care about Bitcoin politics, but I will say as a user and business, the fees and confirm times are ridiculous and need a fix now, not in "18 months" when LN comes out (and then who knows how long until high adoption of LN).

Hopefully it will stabilize.
Your position presumes facts aren't part of how people arrive at their convictions to begin with. If you feed someone bad facts, they're going to come to bad conclusions, how can you deny this?

> If you want judges to issue decisions you agree with you need to arrange to have those slots filled with judges who agree with you.

I want judges who will change their minds based on evidence; who will apply logic and reason, not judges who vote based on uninformed personal convictions.
And the mass of replies that each of his tweets garners, most of which I would personally consider to be unilaterally "hateful", especially the ones that seem to always float to the top...
If my barista is busy and I'm supposed to sign the Square tablet receipt, I sometimes leave a little doodle of a bunny sitting under a tree, or seagulls soaring above my sig. It's actually a great way to de-stress.
> not sure where 仁 came from

It means humaneness, benevolence, kindness, and is pronounced exactly the same as 人 which means person/people.
I upgraded to a 6s (from a 4!) as soon as they came out. The girlfriend got a 7 as soon as they came out, then got a 6s after she broke the 7. Neither of us see any reason to upgrade any time soon (we both buy our phones outright so that's a nice chunk of change). I would like an iPhone X -- just because it's "cooler" -- but I really can't justify spending that much for it when I have a 6s that works just fine.
The current iPhone line up is to broad. There's currently five different models of iPhone, not counting the Plus models.

Introducing the X, and the 8 seems like a mistake that only serves to confuses customer, or worse, make them reconsider their actual needs. I don't think most owners of the iPhone 6, 6s or 7 are displeased with their phones, so there's no need to replace them. If they break, then why not save the money and buy the cheaper option, which have served them well until now?

The beauty of the iPhone marketing, as least initially, was that there was at most two models to pick from. It makes the choice much easier for the customer and made the sales figures for then new models look better.
Not that I disagree with all of your points, but I can't say I've seen any evidence that there is such a thing as Standard Developer Interview™. Over the past month, I've been interviewing with 8 different companies, 3 of which are in the game development industry. They have all had substantially different approaches to their recruitment process and interviewing.

I've identified some common elements, but each of the companies mixed and matched them in different ways and degrees. The techniques used were:

- timed online test (e.g. HackerRank or Codility), reviewed later by the team

- online, real-time coding during the phone screen (e.g. HackerRank or CollabEdit)

- take-home project with a deadline (usually up to 2 weeks), reviewed later by the team

- phone, video-conference or on-site discussion about employment history and experience

- phone, video-conference or on-site discussion about technical problems

- on-site whiteboard coding

- on-site coding on company-provided box

- on-site coding on candidate's own box

- coffee-shop conversation about behavioral topics

The topics for technical discussions were:

- algorithms, data structures and complexity (big-O notation, trees, hash tables, lists, circular buffers, breadth-first and depth-first traversal, binary search, recursion)

- scalability (caching, load-balancing, sharding)

- concurrency (locks, conditional variables, contention, memory fences)

- mathematics (vectors and matrices, linear algebra, computational geometry, combinatorics and probability)

- low-level concepts (manual memory management, cache locality, specifics of garbage collection, VMTs in C++)

- object-oriented design (inheritance, polymorphism, fragile base class, composition over inheritance)

- API design (specifying constraints, changing API based on requirement changes, paging results, increasing or decreasing operation granularity)

Now, I know that this is just 8 companies. I know that this is a drop in the ocean. I know that the plural of "anecdote" is not "data". But over and over again, I've seen the same claim on HN: our industry focuses too much on computer science "trivia" questions. For an audience that usually requires quality, sourced data to support arguments, we seem to be awfully quick to draw generalized conclusions about this specific topic.
Justice is an outcome.

Yes. We have to sign for purchases over $25 at retail. It's like the signature on the bottom of the check. If there is a fraud claim they'll trot out the signature as one of the evidences and compare to the card holders - at least in theory.
Hopefully you can refrain from such "jokes" in the future. Look how little value this chain and your attempts to explain the joke provide the discussion.
They aren't affected by Twitter's existing rules, and presumably won't be by any new rules, unless they are changing not only the written rules but the unwritten rules controlling whether or not they apply the written rules.
