Wat? This has nothing to do with women being a homogenous subgroup or not.

The fact remains. All Women and some hot gay guys... ALWAYS have an out by being a trophy wife or just a standard housewife.

It's probably why there's so few homeless women..because they have a built in fallback plan.
Certainly not impossible, but one thing is a disincentive to commit a 51% attack is that if you had that much computing power a more profitable use of it would be to just mine rather than create fake transactions which, if detected, could crash the value of the currency.
Well, I do agree. I shouldn't take more than a few months to fix this. I don't live in the US, but I get the feeling something is terribly wrong with the way you're handling such a basic thing as a phone call, be it VOIP or not.
Link "aggregated" from https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/happy-new-year-linux-jo...

Lots of discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16050437 although I missed it the first time around and I'm glad it got posted again.
> You can't have major police tactics reform without a reform of gun laws to go around with it. Police have to assume that there is a possibility that anyone that they interact with is armed to the teeth.

Alternatively, you can treat extraordinary claims with some level of skepticism.

I've had the joy of being swatted. I got a knock on the door, a few M4's in my face, cuffed and pinned against a wall, and then later an apology from the officers. All told, it was handled reasonably well in that I wasn't shot...

Still, you'd think having a few cops knock on the door and go "Hey, so funny story..." and assessing the situation from there, hell even with a few storm troopers behind 'em, would be a reasonable enough approach. Unfortunately the officers were fully keyed up and ready for a fight, so I had to deal with a bunch of adrenaline junkies playing Operator for an evening. It kills me how many combat vets I know who had to work under stricter ROEs than street cops in a country that supposedly has a distrust of government and a hatred of tyranny.
As an adventure game lover, I think this is a great little game! I love dark, macabre adventure games and I'm really digging the art style here. The mood is very consistent and the creepiness really comes across. Your daughter has done a great job!
Yes, even if the swatting results in the death of an innocent person.

> The penalties for driving drunk and killing someone are harsher than a simple DUI.

The penalties are harsher because they are different crimes. That's not an argument for executing prank callers.
Travel to rural or out of the way places in the US and you will see why. Internet is not as common as you think. Also, at large events (sports, conventions, concerts) Internet can be next to impossible, but TXT messages get through.
Sure; but at that point why tie your payment processing protocol to a premined external company, instead of going with something like R3's Corda?

If XRP is actually valuable, the risk of compromise of its huge wallet should be really scary for anyone.
What a cool concept for helping students stay motivated and make a better financial decision when applying to college!
One advantage we have is that other countries have systems we could copy. Its not a complete re-write.
> I'd much rather that the police did some kind of surveillance first ("oh, hey, looks like a dude playing video games ..."), and verified that the situation matched the emergency described in their dispatch.

Every jurisdiction is different with their procedure but in many, this is exactly what they do. They generally want to know where in the house the supposed gunman is, where the hostages are, where the best points of entry/escape are, etc.

I get the impression that in this case, the victim saw police assembling outside his house and tried to investigate as they arrived on-scene, which caught them off guard.
Thanks for this. It gets weirder! The slice grows/doubles if capacity is insufficient. So if you initialize the original slice all the way to capacity (len=4, cap=4), it works correctly. But if len=3 and cap=4, it shows bad behavior.

I live in a "first world nation" and 10 years ago (before the global financial crisis even) public vs private healthcare meant the difference between leg amputation and implantation. The public system is only good for routine diagnosis and minor surgery. For everything else, care quality goes down the toilet. Not to mention on the effectively complete lack of dental care.
Firefox 58 should bring some bigger performance improvements still to Android. It's mostly going to bring those improvements to Android that Firefox 57 brought to the desktop, minus the UI and the deprecation of old extension APIs.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by your first sentence. Even if only 0.9% of cases involved resistance with a firearm, it still totals over 87,000 a year which is nearly 3x the rate of _all_ firearm deaths. It's over 9x the rate of firearm homicides.

I'm not sure how you square

> the outcomes of such resistance have not been compiled to see if offering resistance using a firearm made things better or worse for the victim.

and

> But the fact remains that if I am being mugged in a dark alley, I am most likely safer if I simply hand over my wallet and phone...than if I try to resist.

> So the solution is to control the former: gun control.

I have some ideas for this :-) It's another pet-peeve of mine: lots of gun control is never run by gun owners first. While there's an obvious conflict of interest, it also means those implementing it lack a whole lot of context and insight that only gun owners can provide.

> But weapons used for hunting are significantly different than you'd use for self defense.

Sorta. A shotgun used for hunting would make a fine home defense firearm. AR-15s can be used just fine for hunting and home defense. Although, a deer hunting rifle (bolt action, scope, etc.) probably wouldn't be a great choice. (Additionally, usually hunters are limited to 3 cartridges in their rifle, but that wouldn't make much sense for home defense.)

> the advice I got in one of the classes was to always zip tie your bowstrings when leaving the hunting area so that if a rangers stops you, you can show that you aren't actively using your bow.

I wonder if this is similar to how it's illegal to have loaded long guns inside vehicles (in most states...)
Facebook’s Newest Feature Reveals to You (And Everyone) Your True Love
Yes, and this is exactly the market to go for if you wanna go beyond the speculators and crypto nerds (like me).
In order to efficiently place people into space we would need a robotics based economy. Robots would need to build the rockets and fly the rockets. Humans would design the rockets and tell them where to go. Mission control would be replaced with one flight director observing an AI which monitors everything.
But is there additional value in more (proof of) work or are the returns diminishing?

In economic terms the best network hashrate would be the one that is sufficiently secure to protect against bad actors but uses as little electricity as possible. Anything more than that is waste, not added value.

Edit: typo
Mailing lists and shared mailboxes might be used by several people (support@foo.com). Noone uses them to sign up to online services I guess, but the address might be stored in a database and be assocoated with several people somehow.
Yet far less than actually building climate models. Assuming his self-assessment is true.
Someone observed a very long time ago that you can only count on devs to put the information into the ticketing system that is useful for their day to day work.

I've only had luck with management (analysis and planning) of ticketing systems when we treat this observation as law. Either you measure what you have the data to measure, or you convince the developers that maintaining some part of the data is useful to them on a daily basis. The third leg of that stool is realizing that graphs and trends are for asking better questions, not for making decisions.

Everything else comes down to a weak appeal to ethics. The problem is that a lot of devs either have or think they have a richer sense of ethics (not necessarily better, but more considered) than the people who want the data. So these appeals come across as tone deaf.
> The point is they don’t inherently make user experience objectively worse.

Ah, but they do. Browsers are very mature and predictable in their management of html pages and SPA's break that behavior in subtle, uncanny-valley ways.

For instance, click into the Sapper HN page https://hn.svelte.technology/item/16052558, scroll down to a post with a random link and click into it. Click on another page in that link. Now click the back button in your browser to get back to the sapper page. You find that you will be at the top of the page as it re-renders. You lose the place you were scrolled to.

This does not happen with standard cached html pages in the browser.

One of the worst offenders is google's home page. When clicking into the links looking for something, clicking back will take you to top, again and again, losing your place. This is a big step back in usability that people are not even aware is happening. It is a small thing individually, but in aggregate it adds up to a large thing.

> Actually, the first world nations that have socialized healthcare systems experience better outcomes than the United States with less per capita spending

It is beyond question that the healthcare market in the US is terrible, because its expensive and ineffective. That is out of discussion for any reasonable debate.

What is also out of debate are many reasons why is it so expensive today: restrictive immigration of doctors, importation restrictions on drugs, self imposed gov restrictions on bargaining, hospital building regulations, malpractice legal costs.

Government taking full control of the system fixes NONE of the problems listed above, which are by and large some of the biggest price drivers. It might make them worse, because all of the ones above are exclusively decisions of the government.

> you can't just apply the exact same per capita spending...

I agree, tho at the same time you cant expect the government to be more efficient as it increases its scope of scare. Economies of scale dont work for the government. 10x service might cost 50x. It should be clear however that its a reasonable order of magnitude: more than barely double digits. A 20% gdp cost on healthcare will come with cuts in service, I guarantee that.
I think broadly this metaphor works. But you, as an architect, have a breadth (probably) of experience to draw from that dictates how you work in that environment. I feel safe saying that those that are creating or managing processes in the JIRA environment often don't have the equivalent experience (or they have experience only in other equally dysfunctional uses of JIRA). And that JIRA doesn't exactly enforce good habits on its own (a la JavaScript, for example).
Indeed, JIRA is a necessary evil. There is nothing out there with the flexibility of JIRA, and a plugin ecosystem. The user interface is driven by its fully-configurable nature and almost by definition it will suck.

Now, if there was a way to grow its user interface along with the organization's growth, it would be fantastic.
Have you tried managing 1000 tickets in Trello? Jira also offers decent API so you can streamline it a bit. Although I’ve gotten used to their cloud ui where it’s pretty easy to manage. I do wish response was faster though
Sounds like servers handling lots of small UDP packets would be hit pretty hard.
There is another story happening in parallel to this where the Police arrested the wrong person based off the IP in use. IPs are just too ephemeral to trust for any form of location data.

Not to mention the caller chose to call a line which would normally not have a lot of need for those protections, in comparison to 911.
Just to let you know, the fixed width formatting is very hard to read on mobile.

Software can't fix political problems...

Bucky Fuller predicted that we would describe our problems to the computer and it would calculate the optimal deployment of resources to solve them. He estimated that we would have the technology to supply everyone on Earth with a decent standard of living by sometime in the 1970's, provided that we used our resource and technology efficiently. In other words, if you accept Bucky's point, all of our problems now are psychological rather than technological. (We have all the technology we need.)

Standard of living problems have mathematical solutions, psychological problems don't.[1]

> hire an independent health care administration consultant

"Add another layer of abstraction."

But now the consultant has a clear disincentive ($150/hour!) to fix the problem.

The U.S. health system is pathetically broken, and I have no idea how to fix it. This seems like a poor solution, even though I can understand why the author would do it.

I really feel for the author. My mother has dementia and is slipping away fast. Thankfully my sister has the time and energy to move back in with our mother and care for her. She's also with Kaiser-Permanente which seems to let us avoid the worst of the systemic problems. So, in a way, we're really lucky.

[1] "psychological problems don't [have mathematical solutions]" Although... There is something called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (the other NLP) that is a kind of model of psychology that does admit of algorithm-like protocols for therapy. E.g. the "Five-Minute Phobia Cure" which is an algorithm that cures phobias.
Amazon is following the path of Sears which started of as a delivery based store and then ended up with a physical store network.
This what it evolved into, yes. The knee jerk objection is always “De whitepaper de whitepaper!” Let it go already! Satoshi has not weighed in for quite some time now.
Of course it will, segwit is not "infinite scaling". It's under 2x, at best. Bitcoin cannot survive on 2, 3, 10, 100, 1000 times scaling. In order to be the "digital cash" the white paper proposes it as it will need to scale to millions of times its current size.
There is, but waiting for the commander to shout "he's got a gun!" is one of those situations where you would be dead before you heard it. So when something unexpected happens everybody has to make a judgement call, and it only takes one panicky or trigger happy policeman to make a tragedy.

There is also a mismatch between tactics designed to deal with a gang controlled house full of methed out hoods being used on a quiet suburban family that was maliciously targeted. In the former there is a reasonable argument that if you give them warning they will attempt to ambush your officers, so the best course of action is to disable them all simultaneously to reduce loss of life. Using it in other situations however leads to cases where infants have their lungs burned out by flashbangs. This is why I suggested maybe asking the neighbors first, especially in areas where criminal activity is unusual.
I said the same thing and noticed you had said it 4 hours earlier.

Whatever happened to knockout? If it failed, why?
I don't want to open the link but I presume he went to the forests around Mt Fuji (since sibling poster writes that he went to a forest).

That place is very famous as a suicide spot and it appears in many works of fiction in this context. The other famous spot is Tojimbo, a seaside cliff which also appears in many movies / TV shows.
What I don’t understand about Ripple is that from what I’ve read, their partnerships with banks are using their technology not their cryptocurrency, so where does the value in XRP come from? As in, I see the value in the Ripple platform but I don’t see the value in XRP. e.g the American Express announcement explicitly states they are not using XRP. Can you clarify for me? Thank you!
Much less coverage as well. Not to mention different philosophies.

Agreed. Even the very early results in UBI have shown it to be extremely promising for those hit hardest by poverty, and shows a novel rethinking of the problem.

Using AI to attack the fundamental problem of human QoL vs. automation/efficiency/profits is just continuing to escalate a never-ending arms race.
Note that this is very specifically ibuprofen AND paracetamol taken together. You're right that both of these drugs can be hard on various internal organs. But compared to opiates? From the opioid epidemic to my personal experience, there is no comparison as to which has larger consequences.
I did the same search in an incognito window. Woman kneeing a man in the groin was the fourth result.

Maybe your results show more about your search history and browsing habits than anything about the feminist movement or the average person's feelings on the matter.
You think so? It just feels like I basically never want it to be a copy, but you do frequently want to modify the element you're iterating over.

It actually pushes you to design things in ways you might otherwise not. E.g., instead of []X you'll have []*X just so it'll be easier to modify from inside a loop.
Grateful user here. I've relied on ASCIIFlow for all the diagrams in my Internet drafts since IETF 88. Truly an essential tool in my arsenal.
