Here's how you could hack up a pipe operator in Python:

class Funk:
def __init__(self, f):
self._f = f
def __or__(self, other):
return Funk(lambda *_, **__: other(self(*_, **__)))
def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
return self._f(*args, **kwargs)

This lets you do fun stuff like:

pipeline = Funk(h) | Funk(g) | Funk(f)
pipeline(x)
pipeline(y)

And that makes me happy that I participated in this discussion.

I'm kind of surprised nobody's done this before. Unless they have. Any pointers to more fully fleshed out implementations of this idea?
Net Neutrality Protests Move Online, Yet Big Tech Is Quiet

That's an... interesting... way of looking at it.
Because bitcoin and tulips have nothing in common? Bitcoin is a commodity, tulips are a commodity. Tulips went through a particular phase of hype with a famous bubble (and crash). It's not irrational to look at bitcoin through that lens. Bitcoin might be new tech, but commodity markets and the human psychology and greed that drive them are old as dirt. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
There were at least two previous Bitcoin manias and bubbles. I remember a lot of hype when it hit $70 (from single-digit prices), and then again when it hit $1000. Both times people said it was a bubble, and then the bubble popped.

I think almost any judge or jury would find it implausible if you told them you thought the written ban didn't apply anymore because the server still let you into the coffee shop. We intuitively understand that written notice from a property owner carriers more weight than the actions of one of their workers. I think the same exact reasoning applies where the "worker" is a computer server.
I actually think it would be a violation. There is a clear delineation between the private space of the coffee shop and the public space.

It becomes less clear where that delineation is not clear: a menu posted on a window or an automated phone system. These are both private things intended for at-large public consumption. My impression is that the EFF and hiq labs is taking the stance that it's a menu placed in the window, not being let in after being told you can't come in.
I've read a couple articles that touch on this. The current theory has been summarized as there being an evolutionary arms race between genes that benefit the child at the mother's expense and genes that preserve the mother while being somewhat detrimental to the child's fitness (but as a result beneficial to her other offspring).

In this regard, longer gestation and a larger cranium are both better for the child. But our large crania are difficult to fit through the various choke points in the birth canal, and endanger the mother's life. The result is basically gestation as long as possible and crania as large as possible to permit natural childbirth to usually be non-fatal -- but that inflection point is one where even a non-fatal childbirth is difficult and painful.

(There are also elements of the theory that relate to frequency of fertility, and why human menstrual bleeding far exceeds that of other mammals.)

Because of the external gestation, my understanding is that survival rates for marsupial offspring are lower than for mammals. As for other mammals, giving birth is difficult for them too, though we don't have a way to measure how their pain compares to ours. However, no other mammal has gone down an evolutionary pathway where its fitness depends on brain size, so no other mammal has to contend with evolutionary pressures that so directly affect the ease of birth. (Plus, bipedal mammals with upright gaits are rare, so the evolutionary pressure affecting pelvic shape are different.)
That's also a tooling issue I believe. GitHub, again, as easy example, has gotten pretty good at "these are the commits since your last review" incremental reviews, so if you complete a code review and need conflicts to be fixed before it can merge, you expect a merge commit to be made in that branch and should just need to review that merge commit.

I've not recently seen an issue with a PR cycling through a lot of merge commits to keep up with the branch it is targeting, but in almost every case where I've seen that there was some other process decision in the way (two people working on the exact same feature simultaneously) and at that point it was an architectural, "political", or "social" problem to fix first, outside of the code review process. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Don't know about ES, but on CA, at some point in mid 2016, the 100% off coupon code purchases stopped appearing as verified purchases.

Instead of being dismissive about reviews with photos and lots of text, the warning signs you should look for are hyperbolic words. One sentence reviews regardless of whether they're incentivized or not tend to be useless and lacking in any real info, imo.

Not all incentivized reviewers are dishonest [full disclosure, I used to write incentivized reviews. I made an effort to be fair and honest, but when I looked at other reviews of the products I reviewed, I can definitely say there are a lot of lazy reviewers who would just post glowing reviews].

The things you should look out for are excessive use of superlatives (or in the rarer case of paid negative reviews, excessive use of highly negative terms) in the reviews. When I look at reviews for products (I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon), I generally take the figure skating approach of throwing out the highest and lowest scores and looking at the reviews in between.
There are a lot of words but not much hard content. Less stealthy (especially from the rear), more internal volume compared to the F-22.

Only about 11 produced so far.
> The moment you find a review with several pictures and paragraph-separated long texts you know it's a paid review with zero value.

Wait, I could be getting paid to be my normal long-winded self? Because that sounds like most, if not all, of my reviews that I've posted online.
> Can I run Shors algorithm on this? If not, how many qubits would I need for that?

The question was about Shor's algorithm. The question relating to bitcoin seemed like an aside.

Given that the original article was about Quantum Computing, I was more interested in answering questions about Quantum Computing.
It would be more accurate to say, he's ok with reclassifying internet services as Title I, given that 1) ISPs have almost never tried to throttle by traffic type, 2) business model innovation (e.g. zero rating, etc) can have positive effects, and 3) internet access has lots of room for improvement that will require investment, and tying the hands of the providers may prevent that.

(I don't necessarily agree with all those points, but Stratechery has been about the only useful counterpoint recently.)
No, you must reasonably believe they intend to commit a further crime.

Here, unless you give them a reason they're just like "yeah, dude opened the wrong door, heh?"
This WSJ survey is very deceptive. It worded the question to make it sound like they were asking if 2) was true, but the blog post title make it sound like 1). Let me explain: in my experience people mean two very different things by "bubble":

1) Bitcoin is a bubble: the entire technology is worthless and its long-term valuation is zero.

2) Bitcoin is in a bubble: currently in a bubble phase, will probably crash in the short-term, but the long-term potential and value of the technology is or may be real. (Just like there has been bubbles in the past: 2011, 2013, 2014: http://bitcoin.zorinaq.com/price/ they have been corrected, but the price ended up always surpassing previous peaks)
Keep in mind, many of these economists also say that no one, not even them, can consistently identify undervalued or overvalued liquid assets.

By calling Bitcoin a "bubble" with such confidence, aren't they contradicting themselves?
There are many more recent presentations by the principles, particularly Dennis Meadows, Donella Meadows (prior to her death), and Jorgen Randers.

A bubble explosion would inevitably bankrupt the exchange platform first, then you. GDAX/Coinbase will never be able to create money out of thin air if everyone are selling and the BTC is dropping to $5. So even if you sell before everyone, even if you get your money on Coinbase virtually, they'll never honour the wire transfert.
How are these people without basic necessities accessing their coins, exactly? It's hard to trade Internet Fun Bucks without Internet access.
It's not deus ex machina, because it's not unexpected. Lightning has a working alpha on Bitcoin, and Ethereum has something similar with Raiden, plus the Plasma paper and early code, a recently-published spec for the first version of sharding with a 100x throughput improvement, various special-purpose off-chain solutions like FunFair's fate channels, TrueBit for verifiable computation off chain, a simple multicore hack, and simulation code for full proof of stake.

I'm not saying there won't be a market correction, since they happen on a regular basis. Just a few months ago Ethereum dropped from $420 to $130.
With over 600 “fidäls” (graphemes) a fascinating syllabary for sure! While today the Ge’ez language indeed is used in liturgy only, the script is still used by dozens of East-African languages (with up to about 60 million potential users). Astonishingly, there is only a handful of digital fonts available. More interestingly, typesetting classical Ge’ez poses challenges which are not easily solved by current software.

I have attempted a modern type design based on the earliest printed Ge’ez and hacked together custom line-breaking to typeset a piece of the Ge’ez bible (which to-date does not exist in electronic plain text).

If you look at the design guidelines you see a stark difference in the starting point.

Apple's [1] guidelines are basically "how to design your stuff to fit well with Apple". Google [2] on the other hand tried to create a visual language that was generic and understandable by people of all technical levels (with a focus on the "next billion users," people who are just getting their first computing device), and then open sourced it.

Everything You Need to Know About Why Net Neutrality Is a Terrible Idea
Yes, that sounds like you are trying to maximize footguns to me. I do hope for your sake that no one manages to trigger one. (…and I'm personally very glad at this point with GitHub supporting branch restrictions and the ability to disable force pushes for master.)
Every new day is a day that puts the Gilded Age to shame. I'm scared for the future.
I suspect you're right. I think most universities only store things like evidence of semester final exams/papers. And those are probably not stored beyond ten years for undergrad.
Thanks for the suggestion!

I think this is the most common request. Now, Concertmaster is heavily composer/work-oriented. But I see your point and sometimes I find myself willing some sort of musician search.

A problem easily solved with modern technology. There's nothing inherent in communism or capitalism that prevents or enables, respectively, the use of price signals.
I have been following IOTA for a while now and while concept of IOTA is very neat, it appears that the community/leadership surrounding it are in shambles. The network is not really working unless you run a full node, and even then if you send your IOTA to an address you have transferred IOTA out of you can lose them forever. These issues make me very nervous about the whole project.
I don't think this is true. "Trespass is defined by the act of knowingly entering another person’s property without permission."

So it's illegal to, for example, go door to door looking for one that somebody forgot to lock and then spend the night there.

>> ostensibly 'on (indefinite) loan') to review.

They're yours to keep, although they reserve the right to ask you to send them back within 6 months (never happened with me). You can't give them away (you're expected to dispose/recycle them) and you're not allowed to post reviews of those products in other places, although I've seen that happen.
That is my point. It doesn't solve the problem
How is that any different than walking up to a store entrance with automatic doors and a sign that says "Welcome" on it?
I think of it like WHATWG is the git master branch of the "html" standard, and W3C regularly packages a modified (changing things they disagree with) version of it and "release" it with a version number (HTML 5.x), going through alpha, beta, etc. By the time it's finalized, it's out of date.
Yes, it is.

If you don't have a legal right to be on a piece of property, in a given structure, or in a vehicle, you're trespassing.

If you used force to gain access to the property, vehicle or structure, it will often be considered breaking and entering. Typically, these laws use a very loose definition of "force" which includes opening an unlocked door.

If you leave your door ajar, it's just trespassing. If you had to open the door, it's probably B&E even if you didn't break anything to do it.
20 years seems like a huge exaggeration unless you're talking about something more than just TPB.
> wherever you're professionally going, PHP is <probably> not the language you'd like to use anyway. So why use it?

Unless you're doing web development. Outside of the HN bubble, there's still a very active segment of the software industry that uses PHP. Yeah, it's not a "cool" language or whatever, but experienced PHP developers can churn out solid work very quickly.

I made pretty good money as a PHP developer for a lot of years - you would not believe the places that this language gets used (and in what ways). "Dying business" is definitely not how I'd describe my past employers.

This is true of every bubble ever. No one knew how to predict when the real estate bubble was going to collapse. And they wouldn't have been able to make any specific predictions, despite real estate being an obvious bubble.

It was very easy to see that the price did not reflect the fundamentals. And Bitcoin is similar. The fundamentals of Bitcoin do not support the price.

Also in terms of putting your money where your mouth is, there isn't any reliable way to profit off of bubble's unless you know the timing. And that's very hard. There are no laws of the universe that keep Bitcoin from rising for another 12 years, or tripling in value before it crashes.
There is not a reason for everything.

The spotted hyena is one of the most successful carnivores in Africa; yet females hyenas lack an external vaginal opening and therefore give birth through their narrow clitoris (...). During parturition, the clitoris ruptures in order to facilitate the passage of the young, and may take weeks to heal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_hyena

One can only imagine the extreme pain and difficulty involved in this; yet it's unlikely there's an evolutionary justification to be found. It's most probably an accident -- a quite unfortunate one for the female hyena.

It still meets the requirements of a lot of professionals, and a lot of professionals are still going to use them. I'm not trying to say 'whether or not you are a professional is directly related to whether or not you use a macbook pro'. It is just that apple seems to be slowly targeting their "pro" lines more towards the consumer who like pro stuff side to capture more of that market than they are trying to move toward the professional side to capture more of that market. Instead of getting more ports and longer battery life at the sacrifice of weight, we get things like the touchbar and ever thinner machines that have trouble living upto the battery expectations. For a bunch of professionals that doesn't matter, it isn't what makes a macbook pro fit their requirements. But there seems to be a very vocal segment of professionals who sit on that left most edge concerned that what apple calls 'pro' is moving further away from meeting their requirements than closer.

Edit: it might be more clear to say the green circle is people who find a macbook pro to meet their requirements.

You are incorrect - this is personal data and does fall under the extremely wide scope of GDPR, which is simply "processing".

Under the current data protection laws, as long as it isn't personally identifying, it would fall out of scope. Under GDPR, it is in-scope, and explicit opt-in consent is required for both collection and for the things you want to use the data for.

Requiring opt-in to use the software is also not permissible.

GDPR is a bit of a beast.

And, technically, you did essentially request access. An anonymous HTTP request doesn't have to be honored by the web server.
Not if it's a personal residence. Entering someone else's property is trespass unless you have license. When private property is open to the public, there is an implied invitation to the public to enter, so you have license to do so unless it's revoked. With a personal residence, however, there is no implied license for strangers to enter (though there might be based on the parties' relationships or prior dealings).

Apple also already does stock buybacks [1]... $150+ billion worth since 2012 and plans for tons more in the future.

Investors like consistent (and increasing!) dividends, a one time windfall from overseas cash coming back won't let you raise the dividend forever. They could do a one time special dividend, but that's still less efficient than a buyback from management's perspective.

Dividends are taxable and you can't choose when to pay that tax, capital gains are only taxed when you sell which lets investors put off having to pay tax. The idea being buying back shares and retiring them will make the remaining shares more valuable.

You mentioned it might make options more valuable... Well that's a feature not a bug, at least if you're the one getting the options (which the people who decide what to do certainly are!). All the more reason for a buyback.

While that argument may make no sense to you or me, it makes just as much objective "sense" as any other moral basis. Some people are strict utilitarians, some people have a deontological code, some people's morals come out of a holy book, and some people equate moral with legal. None of them are "correct" or "incorrect," and they absolutely do not make "sense."
(Christensen model) Disruption is about business models, not competition. New technologies that help existing companies improve their products are "sustaining innovations" (e.g. 2.5" hard drives let laptop companies make smaller, better laptops). But if they don't help existing companies and allow the development of a "worse" alternative, it's a disruptive innovation (e.g. SSD drives were too expensive and low capacity for laptops, but they were perfect for iPods and smartphones, which have now surpassed laptops in sales, use, etc).
