While that sounds fun, buying something that can only be pre-ordered is crazy (especially for fifty quid). What incentive is there for the seller to ensure it's not crap? Even pre-orders for something that will be on general sale is fairly suspect in my opinion.

Yep, anyone interested in taking a crack can write a language that compiles down to the Low-level Lisp-like Language (LLL) intermediate lang.

There are a couple projects working on it (eg Viper), though many seems to prefer starting a new blockchain.

Misleading/incorrect title:

The use of "gene" made me expect a claim about some kind of DNA modification after each transcription. This is about a claim that ribosomes may "pile up" on mRNA after each translation.

EDIT:

This single sentence is a much better summary than the article:

"We propose [a] mechanism is used to count and limit the number of protein molecules that can be synthesized from a single mRNA template.
http://www.nature.com/articles/nature25174

So basically they propose there is a way to put an upper bound on number of proteins that result from each individual mRNA.

This is exactly the thought. Water is the #1 survival necessity but an enormously fragile resource. Electricity can go out, pipes can burst, water supplies can be tainted. Some people keep years worth of canned food around but almost nobody has a year's supply of water.
Soviet Union was 2 different countries during the Stalin's time and after him. United States was a way more brutal country (Mai Lai for example) from 1960's all the way towards 1991.
There are plenty of language choices fitting nearly every feature set.

What I’d like to see is for one language to be possible to use “vertically” through a stack. That is - for example a C# systems version with manual memory that you can use instead of C interop for the small core of your app. Or, the opposite, a dumbed down version of Rust that works well for classic reference heavy UIs and similar.
Do you have a source? I've checked several online sources, and they all indicate the body leaking fuel until thermal expansion took place is accurate.

it was a woman who's home had an overhang on the roof that was 3 inches past the legal limit based on the zoning code. She was facing up to 5 years in state prison over something that 20 years ago would have gotten her maybe a $1000 fine.

Going to call BS on that one. Zoning code violations are not felonies in any state in the U.S. The punishment for a zoning code violation is a fine or a court order to remove/rebuild the offending structure.
Fun fact: compositions of the two operations

> Learn to play songs like "no surprises"

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression here. I base my supposition about how Radiohead constructed their early hits from learning to play them. I like 'No suprises', which I learned for the vocal challenge, but I think this bears me out. IIRC the song opens with an arpeggio using a simple open-D shape behind a capo high up the neck which gives that interesting tone. The second chord just involves shifting a finger to change the bass note, and the D shape can be maintained right through to the little ditty before it repeats. It sounds pretty but I can't believe he wrote that on a score and then found a way to play it. It seems to be that he had been fiddling around with the classic guitarists trick of holding a chord shape and moving the bass note around, noting what sounds good. The skill is surely in taking that little ditty and translating it into a song.

From the same album IIRC was 'Fake Plastic Trees'. I remember being staggered by the exotic chord names and the amazing sounds it made. then I set out to learn it, and again they are classic chord shapes with shifting bass notes etc.

So I wont credit Thom Yorke with having been a great guitar player back then, or even having somehow composed those songs with the aim of trying out interesting theoretical concepts. I will credit him with a great ear for turning those little tricks into songs.

Since this is HN I will note that his wiki says he does not read music[0] and that the rest of the band take his little sketches and develop them harmonically.

I know the history of the word very well, and I understand that clickbait headings have to simplify.

But if you want to call CHA and TEA different words, in what sense are TEA and THE (French) the same word? I would say they are either all the same word (how I would phrase it) or all different - since they are in different languages.

But this is all semantics, not very interesting really.

The same thing happened to me - you can get a refund. I sent them a very nasty email and contacted my credit card company.

People from literally every social circle I have—friends, coworkers, family—are talking about crypto currency. Not one of them has made a compelling case as to its value. I tend to like the Matt Levine take: maybe cryptocurrency really IS groundbreaking technology and will change the world, and yet in our lifetimes maybe most of the market will be bogus pyramid schemes. (He compares it to the early days of stock trading; the idea of stock and limited liability really did change the world, but most of the early days were centered around scams.) But yeah, when everybody and their brother is talking about it, I have a hard time believing there are a lot of good investment opportunities left. When the shoeshine boy is giving you stock tips...
It's interesting to see the binary view of the world even here, in HN comments. It should be clear that there is no one prevailing, unanimously accepted perception of the Soviet past. There are people who long for it, and there are those who hate it; some people don't have any strong feelings about it. They all have their valid reasons to do so, whether being young and associating pleasant memories with the past epoch or losing a family member in repressions etc. It makes no sense to impose one's views on others and trying to explain it to them why they should perceive the past in a different way than they already do.
I've been doing analysis / data science for a few years now. Lately i've been considering a jump to data engineering. It's intimidating how much there is to learn, but this looks like an excellent resource for deeply understanding sql. Thanks!
You're missing the point. He's not claiming that musically sliding a chord and playing the white keys are the same, he's saying physically they're the same. Both are physically natural and so could be chosen for physical rather than musical reasons. There are, of course, also musical reasons to select those options -- like you said, the white keys are C major -- but that is not necessary to motivate the choice in either case. If I didn't know that the white keys on a piano were C major, I'd still be likely to play them because they're physically convenient.
Sorry, I just assumed ETH was out of reach of personal mining now.

Sure, you could hold "shitcoins" that are currently easier to mine but that's a lot more risky than long term holding something like ETH, LTC, XMR (at least I think it is anyway).

"Debate" has a long tradition of meaning a formalized presentation of opposing views, each represented by a person or team, for the purpose of evaluating relative merits.

"Discourse" is a much broader term and does not imply formal structure, opposition, merit evaluation, or that advocacy of particular ideas is associated with particular speakers.

IMO "Debate" is absolutely the right term for what the advice suggests, which is to reframe a conflict situation into a situation where there are norms of fair argument and expectations of equal access to present opposing views, with the hope of evaluating the merits of said views.
Unless you're saying this person is worth less than you, then the plan suited to them is indeed as good as the one suited to you.

Ah, you're right- I shouldn't post at 3 AM.

The biggest difference is that Scala requires JVM (or JS).

But if you are willing to accept runtime GC, a JIT runtime like JVM/Node might also not be out of the question.

So Scala Native would be spot on, if it were ready for production use.

This is not true for GTK+ 3. GTK+ 2, however, has been in maintenance mode since the introduction of GTK+ 3 and has been in that state since.
After comparing react vs vue.js a _lot_ i finally decided to use React instead, for the long run. The real reason is not technical, but that I'm concerned about hit-by-a-bus-factor. Life is too short to bet on it.

Here is an omegataupodcast episode about flying this thing:

http://omegataupodcast.net/91-flying-the-sr-71/

Episode 091 – Flying the SR-71 Blackbird (March 31, 2012, 7:27 PM)

"In this episode we discuss the world's fastest and highest flying jet-powered aircraft ever built, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. Our guest is Col. (Ret) Richard Graham, a former SR-71 pilot. Our conversation is loosely based on his book Flying the SR-71, and we discuss the challenge of flying the SR-71. As a consequence of its unique capabilities and its engine and inlet design, the aircraft posed a number of very specific challenges on the pilot."
>Atrocities committed in Soviet Russia/Soviet satellites are different from atrocities committed by the Nazis because one set of atrocities was motivated by racism and the other was motivated by various other stuff?

Yes. Basic human morality 101. Even courts understand this, and have since time immemorial. It's another thing to do something out of pure hate/greed/etc and another to do something believing you did something good, or that you did it in self-defense, etc.

>As long as people are being subjugated and murdered to "make the world better," it's all pretty much the same to me.

Well, then fighting Nazis is the same thing as being a Nazi, after all both kill. Or killing people in the Civil War to abolish slavery is as bad as any civilian murder. But in reality people understand circumstances where killing is considered justified, even if bad.

It's just that some only apply those things to the kind of causes and people they care about.

>I also don't know why you think that what the European colonial powers did is "painted as A-OK." Maybe some people think that, but as an American I was taught that what was done to native Americans was definitely not "A-OK."

>I also don't know why you think that what the European colonial powers did is "painted as A-OK."

Because they got out of it with a slap on the wrist (if not on top), because they pull the same shit even today, and because they feel pretty damn good about having done it, when they're not totally ignorant about it.

>Maybe some people think that, but as an American I was taught that what was done to native Americans was definitely not "A-OK."

And yet everything done still today to native Americans and/or blacks points that few care -- and of course nobody is giving any land back, are they?
Also survival skills and amateur radio skills.
Excellent response. I would also add that we got to see what the USSR did with the populations it captured in WWII. Had Nazi Germany won the European war what do you think the populations of Europe would look like today?
I wouldn't encourage children to fight but when children are accompanied by adults at all times and have all their conflicts mediated for them, it almost certainly stunts their social skills. Similarly, banning all physical contact in primary schools is a poor way to encourage emotional health... for any mammal.

Not explicitly. Currently, it's the most widest used language for interacting with the VM, but it's not the end development goal. I don't think the entire thing hinges on Solidity, though it's probably the most immediately accessible language. The hype driving the price up seems a bit premature, though.

I no longer connect with any requests unless they include a personal message in the request, because they're either a "legitimate" connection trawler, or (I suspect) LinkedIn making the request "on behalf of" the "requestor."

The last time (among many) that I accepted a generic, canned message request, I waited a week for the guy to say something to me. Nothing, and I dropped him.

One problem for LinkedIn is that they have not made themselves so obviously above-board that a suspicion like mine would be implausible.

It is not about languages. It is mostly about frameworks. I want to write my next web project in a mature framework.
I don't understand why this is considered a paradox.

It is only a paradox due to flawed thinking of what is considered the same. The problem is when you think of same object as a binary (it is same or it isn't). If you think of same object as a spectrum it becomes trivial.

In case of the mentioned ship, as individual pieces are replaced, what's same becomes smaller and smaller part of the entire ship. If you take these parts and build another ship, that will be the same ship that you originally had.

I completely agree. This is their core business: they know very well what to do so that people don't cancel (keep quiet, not send a reminder), they know equally well the percentage of people who will get mad, they know how small the group is, and that the net benefit is well worth it.

I don't think one chargeback changes anything, but if people are more aware (not just in case of LinkedIn, but in general), this could make this shady business strategy less profitable.
Well, we have the blessings of "western freedom" where I am, including support for several dictatorships imposed on us, and allies getting in bed with ex-Nazi West Germany immediately after the war. So, spare me the hypocrisy.

>Yeah, so great that the borders patrols killed people trying to escape every day and the state prisons were full of the ones caught.

Well, if we're comparing prison populations, what one could say for the world's champion of internment, with 25% of the global prison population when they have a mere 4% of its total population?
Yes, but in the minutes you have between warning and impact, how do you make this assessment? I think most people's immediate thoughts after the warning was North Korea and Nuke.

You can cut this in half because the inputs always map to different outputs and nothing repeats. So, after specifying the first mapping 0 > k, 1 can map to 2^32 -1 possible numbers, 2 can map to 2^32 - 2 numbers etc, and you can skip mapping the last number as only one possibility is left.

A couple things to keep in mind:

1. Your most logical thinking doesn't occur at 8am on a weekend when you just woke up.

2. Hawaii has a more ingrained trust of the EAS than most other states. We test our sirens and EAS monthly. Sirens for tsunamis aren't that uncommon, and there are several horror stories in Hawaii of how people have ignored the sirens and warning signs in the past and got killed.

3. It's a lot easier to determine its a false alarm in hindsight. At the time, you have no information other than the alert and the knowledge about the current tensions with North Korea. We all knew there was a chance it was a false alarm and sure hoped it was, but when your life is on the line it doesn't matter.
Regardless of the credentials of the poster, the fact that it was posted in r/conspiracy makes me think it's not that useful of a comment. r/conspiracy attracts a certain type of poster, one who finds possible consiparcy in everything.
