With 25 serial rapists a year, how many sons are born each year (assuming all of them are male).

Out of those 25, how many should be seen a clinical sane and would had their behavior changed if they just got the right advice as a child?

Giving advice to "all boys" or "all girls" seems like one of those things that make people feel like they are doing something but which will have zero impact. Rape is one of those crimes which you could double the punishment for and still not see any change in the crime rate, as if it was done by less rational and rather sick minds.
>Serial rapists are supposedly incredibly rare. They say that in nearly every case it's someone that the victim knows.

Serial rapists aren't rare, but they do know their victims typically.
We could start by tinkering with a silly macro:

Hello, primary author of Overture here. Wasn't expecting someone to link to this old site again!

Anyway, a few quick points. Overture is the basis for both the FastMail (https://www.fastmail.com) and Topicbox (https://www.topicbox.com) web apps and really does provide a great basis for building large, performant rich applications. However…

I do not recommend other people user Overture directly at the moment (although you might like to look at the code base for some useful ideas you can steal). We don't currently have the resources to build all the documentation, tutorials and other resources needed to build a community around it, and with that in mind we are currently not committed to non-breaking changes or semantic versioning (we can update our own apps at the same time as any breaking change). We originally open-sourced this when we were part of Opera, mainly so that if we parted ways and needed to build something new, we could still reuse all this code (it couldn't end up as proprietary Opera code!).

I'm happy to answer general questions here however if people are interested.

The SVN and P4 articles exists (just google for "svn mistakes" and "perforce p4 mistakes"), but either 1. nobody is sharing them to HN or 2. they do and nobody cares to vote them up.

If you care about privacy normally mining your own coins it's the best way to get 100% privacy.
I’ve used it heavily with 99% success.

Not to defend Cnet, but: isn't the important statistic the false positive rate?

In other words, "recognizing me 99% of the time" isn't nearly as important as "recognizing when it's not me 100% of the time"... and there are already known spoofs out in the wild where it won't successfully recognized unauthorized access attempts.
This is giving me major idle/incremental game vibes. This could so easily be converted into an interesting incremental experience.
It would be interesting to see first x64 only (only 64-bit) CPU from either Intel or AMD ...
From the paper, it looks like the area involved is the medial pre-frontal cortex (mPFC). Give mPFC's role in memory, my initial suspicion is that the brain rhythms are a symptom, and not a cause, of memory loss. That means that fixing the brain rhythms might not fix the underlying memory problems.

It's also worthy to note that moderate exercise can improve connectivity of the mPFC, so that is at least one way to avoid these troubles.
How does that impact things in terms of SEO? Is Google ok with changing titles like that?
For an analysis of possible launch dates / trajectories to intercept, check out this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.03155.pdf

In summary, you're pretty much right. If we could launch in 2017, we could have done it, but I don't think we have any spares of Rosetta or similar intercept missions sitting around.

Look at the allegations made against Harvey Weinstein and Louis CK. Many of these women wanted to say no, but didn't feel able to.

Teaching young men to respect the boundaries of women is clearly important, but we also need to give young women the confidence and skills to assert their boundaries.

> NN is a moot point for them

NN has never guaranteed you cheap internet, fast internet, or choice in internet.
When writing data binding systems, you tend to need to have a generic base class to provide the basic magic functionality; it can’t be done any other way unless you strictly separate functionality from data (perhaps using an immutable data approach) which tends to makes the library less usable.

So this ain’t NIH; it’s a legitimate and very popular architectural pattern.

On a more flippant note: the name Object is a bit unfortunate due to its collision with the builtin global Object; we used to write `O.Object` everywhere, but now we’re using imports for such things we’re calling it Obj everywhere else, so I intend to rename it to Obj altogether one of these days.

For Class: yes, JavaScript has classes now. It didn’t five years ago. On of my experiments involves removing the magic from Class (moving it into the Obj constructor), leaving it just a shell, with class syntax available for use. But even then, class syntax isn’t perfect; prototypal inheritance is really pretty cool and lets you do some very nice things that class syntax doesn’t let you do (I’m planning a conference talk about prototypal inheritance, including some of Overture’s magic that is possible because JavaScript uses prototypes rather than classes); because of that, we may not adopt native class syntax.
I'm sorry if I sound rude. I don't mean to be. I'm just saying that backing up your git workspace to recover from rebases or merges gone wrong is not necessary. Those are not "surgical tools", they don't modify existing commits. (edit: yes you can "edit commits", but they only create new commits, the old commits are not deleted in the process and they can still be found easily)

When you commit in git, that saves the whole project as a "snapshot". If you find yourself lost in some rebase hell or whatever, just reset HEAD back to a previous commit. It's simple as that! (git reset --hard <commit>)

Why I decided to reply to your comment was because this is a very crucial part of learning git. When you realize that you can always go back to what was before, you can start experimenting more freely.
I am on Telegram and none of these channels really have any bearing on pumping a coin. There might be some movement on smaller coins but these channels rarely play a major part.

Typically what happens, is a whale starts buying a particular currency and magically you start to see news articles appear on major and smaller niche crypto blogs. Then the reddit posts start appearing causing a even more hurried frenzy to buy the coin. It is very similar to how traditional stocks are pumped.

On a side note, I am noticing a trend from Forbes, Business Insider, and CBS News that are very hostile to the crypto space. They will literally grasp at any resemblance of shadyness to write a negative article.
As it so happens, I just created a brand new company. We have no idea what we're going to do, or how we're going to monetize it. But we're definitely going to use blockchain technology. If you are having any doubts, we are willing to provide a brand new coin linked to our company in lieu of stock to assuage any concerns you may have about securing your investment. Who's ready to throw money at us? /sarcasm
A x10 Engineer is worth x0 nothing if there's no opportunity.

I've seen this playout in the indie-gaming bubble bust. so many highly competent engineers producing countless games, the vast majority of which will never see an audience. Quite sad actually, such a large waste of talent.
Anderson localization and many-body localization are distinct. AL is a single-particle phenomenon, considering wavefunctions and eigenstates of a single electron at a time. MBL involves ensembles of manifestly many-electron/many-body eigenstates. If you take a subsystem (a small window of eigenstates or energy if you are in the microcanonical ensemble) and resample it, if you are in the thermal regime it will recover the entire distribution of the extensive quantity being sampled for the whole system (let's take entropy as an example).

The goal is to eventually see how many-body localization scales (does the experimental appearance vanish at large but finite time scales as is common in implementations of the Bose-Hubbard model) and see if it can be harnessed as either a form of passive quantum information protection/error correction and/or useful in assisting speedup in solving certain adiabatic quantum computing problems (this last has nothing to do with the Google experiment at hand and more with the intersection of the problem with spin glasses)
You can define build (secret) variables per project, which means you can change the configuration without committing every branch.
The only confusing thing about this is: you’re cool with AWS but insist on deploying your own hardware for personal projects!

You can buy a lot of EC2 compute per month before you hit the cost of running outdated servers on your power bill.
I agree with the "because it's fun to learn" answers.

But I'd also add the reliability factor of keeping a quorum of containers running. It's a tool for dealing with the unreliability of cloud infrastructure, and unexpected process death.
It does, and causes harm to competition. Treating some data different because of a fee is exactly the type of behaviour net neutrality bans.

Notice the uproar whenever people encounter the term "rape culture", yet when pieces like this come out, nobody puts two and two together: oh shit, maybe when people complain about rape culture, what they mean is that we don't take sexual assault half as seriously as we should.
"Serial rapist" means "has more than one victim", not "rapes strangers". It is entirely possible for one person to rape ten people who know and trust them, and not at all surprising that anyone sleazy enough to do this would likely be a repeat offender especially when there's such a high probability of getting away with it.

The numbers are quite staggering though: "A rapist rapes on average seven to 11 times before they're caught. ... Of our set of 817 ... over 50 of them have 10 to 15 hits apiece."

Just checked wpad.sk. According to who.is domain has been updated recently. One of listed organizations is ptstrustee.com, which is specializing in hiding real identity of real domain owners.

As expected they're serving http://wpad.sk/wpad.dat. In that file there is reference to WPADblock.com project. But not sure if it's legit. Also in wpad.dat there are some regexps. If conditions are met it sets proxy-server to their server.

For me it's strange. Does anybody have experience from other tlds?
False negative is important to usability, false positive is important to security; both are important.
Thanks, I’d love to respond to this when I have the chance.

As far as Rob Kalin, you didn’t answer the question - what is his art? What medium? I’m a member of a group that doesn’t have to stretch, claim or pretend to be artists, since we make things out of hot glass all day and it’s really obvious.

I find it odd that you’re convinced he’s an artist, but I’ve never seen any of his art. Are you referring to his personality? Does he actually create craft or art? Was he ever self employed to trying to sell it for a living?

A couple of times here, you are using outliers to try to prove broad principles: Kalin proves that artists wouldn’t know how to run Etsy, and Jeff Bezos proves that a retail background doesn't help to build a retail website. Hmm, I would be hesitant to draw conclusions like that.

Overall, Etsy is irrelevant to people like me, who were the people that it was nominally created for originally. Obviously, it was taken over by investors who don’t care at all about the original mission. What I’m still judging at by is the original intent, which they never managed to achieve.

If you wanted a fair comparison, we wouldn't be comparing exchanges at all, but total financial transactions. That is if we're going to treat Bitcoin as a currency and not some sort of asset transfer vehicle.

Visa International handles 300 million transactions/day, and $3 trillion/year.

Or you could look at total US GDP or GWP (gross world product), which are in very rough numbers, $17 trillion and $70 trillion respectively.

Bitcoin at a $5 billion daily trade is 1/8 the US financial transactions market, and roughly 1/40th that of total global trade.

Honestly, that's higher than I'd have expected, but it's also in vastly greater trade blocks than most daily purchases.
> Where is this value coming from?

People transitioning from one currency (USD) to another (BTC). When countries joined the EU and started using Euros, holders of say Francs, could exchange their Francs for Euros at a set exchange rate. This was a planned transition where Francs would become unusable at some point and Euros would become the new standard. There is much more uncertainty with Bitcoin, people don't know what the utility of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies will be in the future yet at the same time there is a massive reward for speculating on it's success because most cryptocurrencies have a fixed supply.

> Why is the price of the coin going up while the price of dollars is relatively stable?

There are many reasons for this, a few are related to the points I touched on in my first answer. Another one is the value of USD as a whole is much larger so it is much less prone to manipulation. Another is the federal reserve regularly diluting the supply of dollars which keeps the value of a dollar from rising as the economy grows.
The last thing you want is to host things out of your home computer[1], especially when nowadays you can run a VPS for $2.50 a month [2].

If anything, fifteen years ago (when VPSs where prohibitively expensive) we had a much more open internet than now.

[1]. For security reasons (if someone breaks into your wordpress blog they won't get access to your main computer) and uptime reasons (do you want to keep your computer on all the time? Does your home ISP have an SLA?)

[2]. If you're fine with a static blog, a few cents for AWS/Google/Azure plus CloudFlare should be enough.

My leadership philosophy is "fire fast". I shouldn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to fire someone, at least not under the rules that hold sway in the USA. Obviously the approach needs to be adjusted to fit with the laws of whatever nation you might be in. But in the USA, the law is lenient towards leadership when leadership wants to fire someone. Therefore, I should have been able to simply fire Sital. Then we would have hired someone good.
I agree with you.

There are two things china can’t buy because no country will sell it to them: a. Advanced semi conductor tech, b. Modern Jet turbine tech. Those two things China has to (and is) develop themselves. They definitely aren’t there yet, which is why they import those things in spades (most semiconductors are imported, and even china’s own jet fighters are mostly reliant on saturns). They will probably get there in the future.
But you wouldn't expect the rapes to be randomly distributed. Wayne County is a tale of two cities. There are rich white suburbs and the poor, black city.

You have to compare the untest kits to the demographics of record victims. It's likely women of color are much more often victims of rape. That is the trend nationwide.

So in order to use this, you need to host a new Node app and SQLite database on your server. Also, things like spam control are now back on you.

So why not just use a CMS or blog engine which supports traditional server-side comments? I suppose there is a case if you're hosting static HTML pages but still want them to be commentable, but how many people are doing that? I don't get the use case for this.
Depends on what you're doing. It's still way cheaper to host block storage at home than most any cloud provider right now.
Make is more than 40 years old -- 40 fucking years! And we still use it. It's everywhere. It's not going anywhere. Gradle will not replace it.

Why? Because make works. Because it's actually easy to understand if you've read the manual. It's simple. People try to make it do really complicated things, which you are better off putting in a script or another program. At it's core, make works and does its job very, very well.

Here is a very beautiful, readable, portable makefile: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Makefile

It's hard to write portable anything without details leaking out. Go is the best implementation I've ever seen here. It works identically everywhere I've tried it. The approach the Go team has taken is extreme. I think that says a lot.

Both these tools are very simple, and limit what you can do. When you try to go outside the box, you hurt yourself. Don't hurt yourself.

Tools like Gradle make it real easy to hurt yourself without realizing it.
Except if you need and use a lot of storage.

One could also setup aliases for some of the incantations. I personally have `git uncommit` aliased to the proper command line that I never remember.
I'm always surprised by how many web scraping frameworks/libraries I see sprout here on HN on a regular basis. Is web scraping something people are doing, or is web scraping the new high-concurrency version of the "to do list" utility everyone used to write as an exercise?

This is an honest question, I'm not trying to take a dig at anyone in particular.

NYP is New York Penn Station, the Amtrak station. Metro North leaves New York out of Grand Central Terminal. Sorry; the phrasing, while unambiguous to someone commuting from the Hudson Valley, was definitely confusing to most everyone else.

Metro North also sells a weekly pass for $166.75. Unlimited rides during a calendar week. The 10-ride ticket has two prices, for peak and off-peak. Peak-hour 10-ride is $247.50, as you said; off-peak is $157.25.

Very few people actually buy a weekly pass on Metro North; either you are commuting infrequently (eg, weekend commutes) in which case you want a 10-ride ticket, or you are commuting daily, in which case you want a monthly ticket. A monthly pass between Poughkeepsie and GCT is $521. If you commute 20 days per calendar month, your per-mile cost is $0.16 / mile.

Why are they focused on other diseases? Diabetes is hardly a rare disease, nor one with a low impact on its sufferers. So if what you say is true, what is it that's broken about the market for diabetes treatment?

I often hear it said that problems such as this are caused by cures being less profitable compared to drugs, because drugs are purchased repeatedly, cures only once. But competition is supposed to solve that problem. Is inappropriate regulation the real problem?

The most mind-boggling thing about the crypto market is the valuations for abandoned projects. There have been plenty of teams that have stopped putting out any updates shortly after the ICO, yet their tokens are still trading at decent multipliers over the buy-in price. I can understand the bubbliness of the coins that show promise, but the fact that the exit scams aren't being decimated in the market is really troubling me.
Generally heavy cannabis users don't dream as often or vividly as normal. One of the primary symptoms of cannabis withdrawal is extremely vivid dreams. I don't know if there's been any formal studies on this in particular, but I've heard enough independent anecdotes, that I'm convinced there is some relation.

Above was just the subjective part, there have been studies on the objective effects of cannabis on REM sleep, where it appears to decrease total REM sleep duration.

As far as the implications of this go, your guess is as good as mine.

The point of Disqus is that you don't have to host anything and you can publish an essentially "static" website using any static website generator or just plain HTML pages you make yourself.

It seems to me that "because, deep down, we don't want to" is a perfectly legitimate answer to the question posed by the title.

Bitcoin's value comes from it being either a currency or a store of wealth (similar to gold).

Something like Ethereum can do more than that, like smart contracts. Of course it can do the same things as Bitcoin as well.

The value is similar to startup investments in that if you go in really early, it's risky and you get it for cheap, whereas if you go in later, the price is much higher but still good.

The mix of all this comes together and makes up the final price.

Some research exists[1] though limited to testing with THC, so it wouldn't be strictly accurate to say 'cannabis' (for example, it would also be worth doing a similar study on CBD, as it has quite a few interesting properties as well).
