I had never even considered such a drill could exist.
...if a nuke is coming you're going to be dead regardless of you hiding under your desk.

Ridiculous as it may seem, I remember some information in the late 1970's about 'what to do in the event of a nuclear attack' and 'underneath a table' was one of the places they advised as a good place to hide.
The population is increasing, so car commutes are going to get worse no matter what the city government does.
Are there any specific actions Seattle has taken to make the driving experience worse?
What kind of impact to greenhouse gasses? I'm guessing no where near that of cars. Probably some aerosol propellent but no CFCs anymore.
For that, we use a mixture of two natural deodorizing compounds:

Nose blindness

Social mores
What's a functional cookie? What makes it separate from an essential cookie? What, exactly, links it to a user?

Knowing that certain types of cookies is exempt is insufficient knowledge.
Honestly, I have no idea.
I would say horse vs. car is a strange comparison ('cause you can walk you know), but OK.

Did travel-by-horse, any time in human history contribute to GLOBAL climate change, rising sea levels, unpredictable weather patterns, etc, etc, that the rise of greenhouse gases like CO2 from the combustion fossil fuels seems to be doing? I'm guessing not.

Conveniences have created a population explosion, and we're slowly snuffing out our existence because of it. Convenience is just another pattern of the Luxury Trap that authors like Yuval Noah Harari talk about. We have more of things at lower qualities, which allow us to spread more suffering around.
The first senctence:

> Am I correct in understanding that it's not that intuition is invalid, but that it's insufficient for communicating a proof to another mathematician.

is close to correct. It's a very useful tool, but it can sometimes lead you into incorrect assumptions.

However, the rest of it incorrect. Math, and in particular, probability and statistics, are full of things that seem intuitive and easy at first glance, but are actually a bit more nuanced.

Take for example, the Monty Hall Problem. It's probably familiar to most here, but essentially you have three doors. Behind one, is a car or some other desirable object, and behind the other two are goats or something undesirable. Select a door, and you get whatever is behind that door. What's the probability of getting the car in this scenario?

Easy enough right? It's just 1/3. However, if Monty Hall opens one of the doors after you select a door, he always reveals a goat, and he offers to let you switch your door now, should you switch or keep your door?

What's the probability that you get a car if you switch? Is it 1/2 or 1/3? What's the probability that you get a car if you stay? 1/3?

Well, the somewhat surprising answer is that you have a 2/3 probability of winning the car if you switch, and a 1/3 probability of winning the car if you stay.

Often things will break down in the limits as well, so if you try to apply your finite dimensional intuition to something that corresponds to an empty object or an infinite number of objects, you'll find that you're often wrong.
Maybe so, but I’m not going to let every random bureaucrat around the world with an inflated sense of their importance dictate how I do business. If their enforcement mechanisms become such that I need to worry about it, I’ll do so then.

Unless you think that the EU is going to monitor every website on the internet and magically divine who owns them and what they’re doing behind the scenes with user data, and then develop a blacklist for those people so they can’t travel or they can go after them after WW3?

I guess I’ll really regret it if that’s the case. Until then, I’ll ignore.
Schools in Toronto, Canada have been doing "lockdown" drills for a while, but those usually assume that there's something dangerous outside the school. (I've seen the lockdown procedures invoked a few times when there has been some serious crime in the close vicinity of school). These drills mostly consist of "lock doors and avoid line-of-sight from outside". It sounds more mild than the "active shooter" scenario drills described in this article.
I never quite thought I'd be linking this here, but in Ted Kaczynski's Manifesto[1] he wrote, amongst many other things (plenty certainly to be found controversial), that there exists an intrinsic need for humans to undergo a 'power process' that allows us to exert power over people or processes in order to fend off purposelessness (the Manifesto is separated into numerical subsections, he makes this point in the section entitled 'DISRUPTION OF THE POWER PROCESS IN
MODERN SOCIETY' which is paragraph 59). The entire thing is worth reading, for historical significance alone.

I am American and these were not a thing when I was growing up. We had natural disaster drills, like tornado drills. We did not have mass shooting drills.

I am 52. This is a more recent phenomenon.
Hehe thanks, that was fun. Well, Lawrence ranted similarly about everyone, with enough truth to make you think for a moment he might be totally right. He got his schtick from his wife Frieda, who'd gotten it from a love affair with the Austrian psychologist Otto Gross, a "champion of an early form of anti-psychiatry and sexual liberation", "proto-feminist and neo-pagan" etc.
Someone would literally have to pay me to get me to play a game like that. It's literally like work. Except for some volunteer activities I don't work for free.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but all of the people irl who have tried to tell me this stank to high heaven. I don’t doubt that anyone could adjust to that, for themselves, but how about the rest of us? As to the hair, maybe it works for you, but some people have very dry hair, or very greasy hair and what you’re saying simply doesn’t fly.

Not to mention those of us in customer-facing roles, who can’t really afford to hope we’re not offensively ripe that day.
"Also, I don't know who codes using raw SQL, it's been years languages have had ORMs that made queries look just like a Mongo query."

Baloney. Anything relatively complex will definitely require you to optimize in raw SQL. Abstracting all that out in an ORM is horrible.

Wow. And back when I was in school, we only used to hide under furniture like that for tornado drills. What hte hell is the world coming to...
> Russia is not a particularly wealthy country. If they can pervert our democracy with a few million dollars, we have much bigger problems...

That is the essence of asymmetrical warfare. The 9/11 hijackers didn't even spend a million dollars in their plan to crash planes into buildings, yet they killed thousands, destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars of property, and provoked billions of dollars of spending by the United States.

Cyber warfare is an emerging battlefield where someone can cause enormous damage with a very modest investment. I do think it requires some changes to our democracy to protect against it in the future, but in the mean time we absolutely should push back, hard against Russia's efforts.

Citizens United certainly created more opportunity for foreign actors to influence our political system, that much is certain. Doesn't mean we should allow Putin to use Russia intelligence services against our political system.
We did them in Alberta, Canada after the shooting in Taber, Alberta in 1999.
I have not made the leap to no soap, but my wife and I have stopped using shampoo and conditioner and it has been no problem at all.

My wife is a PE teacher and is quite physically active and it is perfectly fine.
No I am not simply talking about performance. I see you keep refering to Turing completeness in other replies, even condescendingly implying that your HN peers does not understand it, when you are clearly the one whose understanding needs to mature. A turing complete system is one where the rules are powerfull enough that you are able to implement "anything" INSIDE of them. Does'nt mean you are able to break out the system and manipulate the underlying environment, or even infer anything about how it's implemented. Just to bring my point to the extreme: Minecraft is turing complete. Does'nt mean you can bootstrap your cpu with. You can in theory emulate your cpu on top of it though.

Actually you seem to suggest that not even performance is of any hindrance to python. In which case I'm lost for words. You win.
I'm from Canada and we had these once per year when I was in high school about 10 years ago.

Their claims that such copying would have been fair use are spurious at best. If they had copied that portion of the other image directly, it would have been copyright infringement. The fair use provisions are for specific circumstances, not just randomly copying. But they didn't copy it and had instead used a freely licensed common source, so they're in the clear, anyway.
A fire drill, where everybody exits the building in a reasonable ordered fashion is the only drill that ever happened in my school in Germany.

The predictions of the internet in 1988 were hardly prophetic, since there were already global computer networks in place at the time. Clarke predicted the iphone in 1976 with the 'minisec' in "Imperial Earth". Hogan predicted the internet in "The Genesis Machine" in 1978.
My criticisms are meant to point out areas for actual improvement.

Try to be scientific. If you've got a conjecture, test it and see if it holds water. One excuse was that C++ is only faster because people build C++ projects with separate compilation units. Well, you can compile a project in C++ with a single compilation unit, and it's not horribly slow. Now you need a new conjecture.

The type system is comparable to Standard ML from the 70s. The lifetime analysis is a solid improvement over mainstream languages, but I have a tough time believing it needs to be an order of magnitude slower than const correctness. The optimizations are on par with C++ and Fortran (mostly because they're leveraging the guts from an existing C++ compiler). SML, C++, and Fortran do not compile as slowly as Rust. There's probably another reason.

I don't think the Rust compiler developers are dumb, and I never said that. I think several of them are brilliant but young (and occasionally very arrogant).

Rust is so close to being a great replacement for C++. I read every one of these threads about new releases hoping they'll eventually fix the problems. Compilation speed and memory use are lesser issues, but they're still important, and things like incremental compilation dodge the issues instead of fixing them.
Which is how it should be.

Microsoft should design their OS to not require reboots for updates. The only time I ever have to reboot my Linux box is for a kernel update — that’s it.
Right now we have a client that needs an integration, but the company that wrote the software to be integrated will not provide documentation for integration unless we purchase their (otherwise useless to us) software. That is, software that would be tested at the client's location, with their data. In short, it is absolutely not something we need to purchase (or, honestly, even can -- we're a very small company).

So we eventually tracked down someone who had it, and we integrated as best we can.

Basically they were just putting up a wall to people creating integrations, which is the entire method by which their software is used. So... if you can't contract someone to integrate, why would anyone choose that product going forward?

And yet they do.
I'm in the opposite boat, the dose I receive is fairly high and I'm unable to even stand for around 20 minutes after it ends. There's no way I can drive the day of. As for the events, the feeling of dissociation takes around a day to fade for me. I also have a high deal of cognitive impairment from it, or detachment in my thoughts?
It sounds to me like the best way of perpetuating, spreading, and eventually somewhat normalizing the idea of entering a school and shooting everybody.
>"The bit that wasn't initially obvious to me is that these are all literally just investment rounds. They're just raising money and the "coin" is in many ways similar to a share."

This is kind of where my understanding of ICOs falls short. My understanding was that ICO coins don't entitle one to any equity in the company just the coin:

"ICOs are the Wild West of financing — they sit in a grey zone where the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and many other regulatory bodies are still investigating them. The main problem is, though, that most ICO’s don’t actually offer equity in start-up ventures; instead, they only offer discounts on cryptocurrencies before they hit the exchanges."[1]

If that's the case it's not like a share at all. Wouldn't it be more like a credit default swap or other derivative?

Okay I think this is the answer I was looking for, thank you. It also helped me understand why my question was a little off the mark/why I got downvoted so much.
I did not mean "random" in a literal mathematical sense. If I have absolutely no idea (or purposefully ignore) what the chord progression of a tune is, I could just start playing notes. It might sound good, it might not. It might sound dissonant in a pleasing way. But that playing would not be based on a theoretical understanding of the chord progression; it would be, in some sense, random -- unplanned, escaping traditional theoretical analysis.

You could play any note on any chord, and it might be what you intended. Let's say the chord is C major. You could play a C, for the root. Or G, for the 5th. Or Db, for a flat 9. Or F#, for a sharp 11. Indeed, any of the 12 notes would be fair game, and you could name what they are from a music theory standpoint.

Trying to bring this back around to the Franklin method of learning: what one might do here is listen to a jazz solo, and first transcribe (or obtain a copy of) the chord progression. Instead of trying to copy the solo itself, you can hear that the soloist often played motifs emphasizing the dominant 9th and 11th over minor chords, and the major 7th and major 6th over major chords. You could then make up your own solo with the same emphasis. It would not be the exact same solo, but it would (or could) have a similar sonic color to it.
> "anti-male" rather than "less aggressively pro-male than it used to be"

Is there a difference? The assumed model in a lot of these discussions is that there is a pie of goodies that is divided, zero-sum, between sexes. But this assumes (or at least implies) identical utility functions. A trivial example: government funding for any abortions I might have is of zero value to me, since as a dude, I'm not likely to fall pregnant any time soon. This can be extended to whatever gender stereotype the reader feels comfortable standing by.

It becomes harder to determine in isolation when you take into account that the sexes have not just sex-specific benefits, but also problems and responsibilities. My sister may feel a pressure to be warm and comforting; I serve as her unpaid bodyguard if we find ourselves in any sort of dangerous situation.

I'm not trying to say these "are equivalent," --- indeed, that's the point. I don't think they can be really compared. The only place we approach anything like equality (which implies not just equal measure, but like terms) is in the NumbersLand of employee compensation, and we can't even do that unimpeachably enough for everyone's satisfaction, because other factors leak in.

My point is that I don't think comparison is a fruitful model (anti-male does not automatically mean pro-female), and that it's relative. Is society more pro-male than 1000 AD? Probably, I haven't caught dysentery lately. On the other hand, I wasn't expected to provide a college education for my children then, either.

We should be pro-male! We should be pro-female too!
Actually, the law is defined quite broadly, not restricting itself to "name, IP, email".

Have you considered how a combination of innocuous data points, such as "browser + city + top 3 popular sites" can make a person uniquely identifiable?

Or any other of the billions of combinations of your browsing patterns or seemingly random daily activities. Your entropy fingerprint, if you will.

Check out "differential privacy" to learn more [0].

We've built a product to help companies identify the more obvious "private data" cases (https://pii-tools.com), but we're not fooling ourselves that we've solved "personal data". Or that the task is even solvable. A dedicated person or algorithm can identify people from surprisingly little information (in the extreme, think Sherlock Holmes). Identification is a matter of degree, rather than a binary "name, IP, email" thing.

Grew up in Yugoslavia and live now in Slovenia. We had fire drills (maybe about 3 during all years of my schooling), but never and still don't for shootings as they don't happen.
Here's to hoping Portland's increasingly-awful traffic situation reaches a similar inflection point where the misery forces people to do something other than drive.
Quality of life down for most drivers, maybe. But by focusing on transit, moving around and in/out of the city becomes a lot easier for more people than it becomes worse for, so I'd say overall quality of life goes way up.

Best of luck to you in your new city :)
It amazes me how rare it is for people to exercise.

Entering my 30s, a somewhat regular exercise routine is something I expect in the people I date.

Yet some of those people reject the idea that it's something they should do at all. They just don't like it the same way a kid doesn't like vegetables, as if that's an option. It blew my mind the first dozen times I'd heard someone say that they just aren't interested in it.

I suspect more than lobbying is going on. There's certainly more evidence for that than there was for Russian interference - and look what that investigation has brought up.

It will never happen though.
In 1999, the middle school I attended required meshed or see-through bookbags. May be more schools should put in policies like these while we wait on our politicians to do something.
The company issuing the threat had identified what they thought was a copied bit of artwork. This isn't a company just randomly attacking anyone - they honestly thought (via automated system) that one of their images had been partially copied.
Public transit in Seattle works for many commuters but the two largest residential neighborhoods in the city are still poorly served. If you are not near the main line getting to a bug stop can be very difficult. Local bus service still seems to be lacking in many areas of the city.

For me it's no problem, both my office and apartment are on the C Line route but if I lived in North Admiral I would probably just ride my bicycle to work.

Public transit in Seattle is still not convenient or even possible for actually getting around the city. I still use Uber/Lyft or my own car or motorcycle to get around other than getting to work and even then I prefer to ride the motorcycle in traffic over being crammed into the sardine can C-Line.
Scrubbing at my pits and wonky bits with warm water.
Well, good luck with thst, but the world is full of random bureaucrats who can make your life massively difficult. It might or might not be right or fair, but it is and you play pretend at your own peril. Right now monitoring all sites can’t work, but how about five or ten years? Bureaucratic institutions can have very long memories.
How has Traefik worked for you? Is it serving production traffic?

It's not vim, but many terminal-based keyboard shortcuts are already available across OS X without installing anything. For example:

- ctrl+p - move cursor up one line
- ctrl+n - move cursor down one line
- ctrl+f - move cursor forward one character
- ctrl+b - move cursor back one character

- ctrl+a - move cursor to beginning of line
- ctrl+e - move cursor to end of line
- ctrl+k - delete all characters from cursor to end of line

There are a few missing useful ones (such as move by word), but you can fill them in by creating this file[1] in a specific place on your machine.

> it will become less authoritative

Or better than the authoritative original.

Like with Wikipedia, where you often hear that people prefer to cite a single person as source (because "anyone could edit Wikipedia", as if no single person can setup a website or write a paper), at least Wikipedia has had thousands of reads and often dozens or hundreds of reviews. People are scared of the idea "it could be anyone", while the most likely editor is just a peer with good intentions.
I think it's more a question of what they haven't done as the city has grown. If you increase the populace, but don't increase the amount of roads and parking, driving gets worse. (I'm not arguing that that's a bad thing.)
In the UK we had fire drills which always seemed rather pointless since schools generally go up in flames at night time when there is nobody in them.

We have had a few mass shootings in the UK but they are quite rare since it's not common for people to own a gun.
To add to the points raised in the article, Seattle’s public transit system and transit policy are just plain good. Buses are clean/new, frequent, and on-time; trains (while they don’t yet extend as far as they need to) are reliable and have good coverage along frequented routes; HOV lanes are (finally!!!) present along the entirety of common longer commutes (especially across the lake).

The bus system is especially critical to this. It doesn’t take billions of dollars to add a new bus route, or make buses more frequent on a route, so congestion issues at bus stops are largely addressable. The routes are also generally being made more convenient, so the added benefit of driving in a car is diminished.

I live in New York now, and while the subway coverage here is certainly unbeatable, its unreliability, dirtiness, congestion, and the borderline-criminal mismanagement of public transit infrastructure in NYC (including buses) make me really miss living in Seattle.
GP takes cold showers, so it isn’t that.

No problem, I supposed that would be the issue. Glad i could be of help!
