As I mentioned elsewhere, in python the correct way would be to add the @functools.lru_cache decorator. That way you get the caching behavior of the tricky to write methods, with the clarity of the obvious recursive solution.
Even highway driving in clear weather conditions that allows you to truly go hands off and read a book would be a huge win. For a lot of people, it's a large amount of the driving they do and I suspect it's where a lot of the worst accidents occur because of the speeds involved.

Of course, it doesn't get you to the futurist vision of self-driving cars in that you can't share cars and you need a licensed, sober human in the vehicle but it has the advantage of being very achievable in the fairly near-term while still being a really nice feature.

Well, actually no. It's possible to say one thing (and as far as I'm aware, only this thing): You'd better have an even smarter friendly AI on your side, or you're almost certainly boned.

I can confirm. When I had food poisoning, I couldn’t drink any amount of water without vomiting immediately after. After 8 hours, I went to the ER and got 2 IV bags, and immediately stopped throwing up.
I really don't want to give the city more money. They've already upped income tax, property tax (property values have been going up as well), and they played with the sales tax.
Sorry, I reread my post. What I meant was that if I downvote someone, the mechanism could deduct from my karma (or a fraction of my karma) as well as theirs.

So we're both at 1000 karma, I downvote you. You go to 999, I go to 999.5. Repeat. If I'm only downvoting, I'm forfeiting my karma to that moderation action. Optionally the same for flagging and other things.

This becomes a constraint because a user who just got to 500 karma and downvotes would lose the privilege immediately. A user at 10k karma can downvote pretty much everything. You could also have it cost more to downvote more in a period of time. Like 0 karma to downvote once an hour. 0.5 karma for two or three times an hour. 1 karma for four times an hour. Some scale (linear or faster).

This would prevent or mitigate people going through and downvoting all of a particular commenters posts in a thread just because it's controversial or they wrote one controversial thing. It creates a cost for moderation.
it will throw an error message, which the user is probably going to ignore and install anyway.

This will ultimately cause errors down the line. Maybe not right now, but eventually problems will occur.

showing a warning is great, but not needing that warning would be preferable.

but most distributions are already working on solutions to that. ubuntu is working on SnapOn's [0] for example, and i remember hearing about something else from redhad as well.

Why do they never link to the listings when they advertise these beautiful homes? It's such a simple thing to do, I wonder if they purposefully leave the links out. I'm curious how much that LA home is to rent.
I’ve seen this also and have not seen any evidence to the contrary. Considering how damning this study is to plastic bag bans, I’m guessing this means there aren’t any studies that rebut these findings.
You can only trade BTC and ETH at this time. Robinhood allows you to track 16 currencies, although I imagine this tracking is going to be used to estimate interest in other cryptocurrencies to integrate.

Any lawyers here? This doesn't seem fair - retail copies were meant for end consumers, not for another company to hawk and rent out.

The Crux of the legal argument lies in equating Redbox to a regular end-consumer, which is inaccurate. Can any lawyers comment on this.
Robinhood are listing monero, zcash and a bunch of other coins. So you can buy them directly for fiat.

Coinbase allow you to buy ltc, eth, bch and btc. If you wanted to buy monero you would first have to buy one of those then transfer to another exchange.

Edit: my bad. I got confused by the new Robinhood ux:

No matter how well written/sourced/argued your comment is, if it goes against the group belief it will be buried. I just avoid these topics altogether now—it’s not worth the time spent writing.

Sound advice. It's easy to collect some downvotes by posting about anything people feel passionate about -- there's always going to be somebody who downvotes out of dislike for your opinion. Also, I believe criticizing certain national governments attracts an outsized share of downvotes / flags.

Hmmm ... AFAIK Gen. McArthur did advocate for using nuclear weapons on China during the Korean War (note that China did not have nuclear weapons at that point). And Nixon tried to give the impression he was crazy and might use them in order to pressure the other side to end the Vietnam War; he even flew bombers toward (the USSR, I think); but that gambit failed.

On the other hand, it's easy to imagine that the US and USSR soldiers directly fighting and killing each other could escalate more easily than the US fighting Vietnamese troops or the USSR fighting Afghans.

> There’s nothing toxic about masculinity.

No, but there’s a whole lot toxic about toxic masculinity. There’s also nothing intrinsic about it: you can have an abundance of testosterone without having to be violent, emotionless, or sexually agressive. The issue is a social one, and the roided-out warrior/womanizer archetype is long overdue for retirement.

By the way, I am specifically responding to the argument concerning toxic masculinity. There’s nothing wrong with “being a man”, with providing for your family, with being responsible and reliable and strong. But that’s a separate current of masculinity, and one which would in fact be strengthened by the elimination of its toxic counterpart. (And even then, it’s not a kind of masculinity that every man is capable of acting out.)
My point is specifically that these things are harmless, and everything else is purely in people's imaginations.
Are you sure? The linked article says:

Anyone that uses the Robinhood platform to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum today comes into a market that has lost roughly half of its value over the past couple of months.

I believe those coins can be tracked but not bought.

Better source:

https://support.robinhood.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000088623...

Starting in February, Robinhood Crypto supports buying, selling and real-time market data for:

Bitcoin (BTC)

Ethereum (ETH)

Robinhood Crypto also supports real-time market data for the following:

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin Gold (BTG)

Dash (DASH)

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Lisk (LSK)

Litecoin (LTC)

Monero (XMR)

NEO (NEO)

OmiseGO (OMG)

Qtum (QTUM)

Ripple (XRP)

Stellar (XLM)

Zcash (ZEC)

So not really the game changer you are saying it might be.
The point is we need to design hardware version 8, that is not free. Our volumes are not very high: designing revision 7 in the actually lifespan now that we need version 8 means that the cost/per part of version 7 was a few thousand dollars for a board that costs ~$5 to manufacture. If we had known what part would be next version 7 wouldn't have used that part.

The vehicle does not care what is in the black box, but that is only true once input/outputs are actually identical. It is .01 volts different has killed us in random failures. It is 1ms faster, is that better or now - in some cases that 1ms slower was depended on and we didn't know it anymore.

We don't program anything new in assembly. However for a lot of old embedded controllers if it works don't break it. There are no known bugs with the old code. Suddenly the CPU isn't available and we have to create a new one. Marketing can't come up with any new feature that a new CPU would enable so it is strictly and engineering exercise.
Interesting. I wonder what those "checked for 100+ things that guests told us they love" are.

This makes me sad. I have experienced that... so I just stopped placing such comments here. The toxicity of the community is just too high here. You can either agree with the crowd, or be forced to leave. Your experiences or arguments don't matter.
Your comment is quite insightful. They _are_ moving into the content business.

Just one example: I work in the music industry. YouTube has a fingerprinting service is used to pay out royalties on music. The tech is similar to Shazam.. whereby if the girl next door uses "Island In The Sun" by Weezer in her vlog, YouTube detects that song and pays Weezer a small royalty.

The alternative option for Weezer is to block this content (meaning her video would be taken down) but obviously it's in their best interest to monetize.

This is just one way YouTube gets in bed with content producers like record labels.

This same thing is now being implemented in Facebook videos, so clearly that's something they're going to push.. having their users host longer-form video than what is normally seen on facebook. And I'm sure there's other parallel efforts on Facebook's side to get more premium video and gaming content onto their platform.
An appropriate limit is, as I mentioned, editorializing. To be precise, your clients, peers and users should not the the target of your feelings expressed in comments.

An additional litmus should be professional discipline: express dissatisfaction with a todo (ideally referencing a bug or discussion issue source URL or identifier). Without that reference, it acknowledges an issue without indicating any motivation to solve or re-mediate the original cause, which is (IMHO) indicative of a careless and lazy attitude.

Implicit Downranking of Politics

Yeah. "You can do whatever you want with our GPL'd code, so long as you follow the license, and we don't have any patents, just don't use our name/branding on stuff we don't control" is a reasonable way to ensure the reputation of your name. It's the same thing Firefox does with Linux distros who want to add their own patches.
You have some zero-risk investments you'd like to share with HN?
Maybe, but I've lived in those places you mentioned (except the east coast cities) and the problem is stifling in Austin. I'm originally from a small, liberal college town in a conservative plains state which in the 80s might have been a great twin city for Austin, if somewhat smaller. So I have some insight into what it "should" be like when people describe how cool Austin is, or how cool people have heard Austin is (because a lot of Austin's reputation is propagated by total strangers). And Austin simply isn't like that, anymore. All of the reasons that people love Austin are actually nowadays being manufactured by outsiders. The plastic, false reality of those qualities is palpable and easy to spot when you're there. There are a few secrets and a few items of local flavor which were still sort of genuinely "Austin" but even when I lived there more than five years ago, they were being inundated by outsiders as "best kept secrets" and diluted.

Having lived in most of the places you mention above, I can say definitively that Austin is experiencing this problem the worst among the "boom cities" by orders of magnitude. I'm guessing it's because of the proportion of recent transplants to "original Austinites". Austin was a small city in Texas in the 80s! ZERO of your boom cities were anything like that so recently. And it's worst among your examples not only because there are actually so few people proportionally who lived in Austin since it was actually cool, but compounded by the fact that a lot of those Austinites are leaving Austin for the surrounding countryside (or wherever).

If I run npm without -g, it complains about missing files, and fills my home directory with node_modules junk and a package-lock.json I have to "commit"? Why do I want to commit it, and where?

I'm sure you are now going to tell me there is an easy way to fix that too, and I'd be happy if there was, but for me I just want to use npm to install a program or two.
I'm mostly a Windows user, so maybe I'm misunderstanding *nix stuff here, but I don't see how recommending npm i -g package is remotely the same as recommending sudo npm. Could you clarify?
>Isn't this open for everyone to see though?

Once the scale problem starts to be solved, the question becomes discoverability. And the answer to that is, there is an infinite namespace of things - one might suggest it up to the distro maintainers to adopt policies - behind which one can hide ones content. Like, if the distro has a button that says 'publish your stuff' and a button that says 'keep this stuff secret' but inform your closest friends when there are updates so they can get approved copies, well .. thats a distro thing.
Agreed they have to be reined in. But on the recycling side, they are spectacularly inefficient. They are bulky to recycle - they never lay down flat again. The entire semi trailer load at my recycle center probably weighs a couple hundred pounds of plastic, mostly air. They are very, very cheap to make and lots of trouble to recycle - its arguable the recycle cost is greater than the environmental cost of a new one.
I think we need to see how Robinhood shapes up. AFAIK their customer care isn't great either. And with their estoeric rules on coin transfer this might not go down well.
I'm also curious what this adds that's new. I'll add one other bit: If anyone ever claims they have an efficient global optimization algorithm for continuous optimization, ask whether or not P=NP. We can encode the integer constraint that x \in {0,1} as x(x-1)=0, so if we can find the global optimum to a continuous problem efficiently, then we can do the same for a discrete. That's probably unlikely, so I'm always a bit skeptical.

By the way, the parent mentioned interval arithmetic. If anyone is looking for optimization algorithm look for "interval Newton". It's a cool algorithm.
so far in the market I feel like Coinbase has acted as one of the only – and certainly most vocal – trustworthy marketplaces. Especially with a concept like cryptocurrency which in and of itself seems a bit "sketchy" to most (especially becuase of its association with black markets), many competing marketplaces dont instill a lot of confidence in users. That may be something as simple as UX/UI or branding, either of which would solidly add Robinhood into the "easy to understand for non-techies" category along with Coinbase.

If you're a Coinbase user, please don't use Coinbase to buy. The fees are really high. Instead, use GDAX. Your Coinbase account is sufficient to register with GDAX and all your privileges like limits, KYC, etc. is carried over.

It supports both Market Orders and Limit Orders. Transfers from GDAX to Coinbase are instantaneous and off-blockchain, so there are no fees.

As a bonus fun fact, if you transfer BTC from GDAX to your personal wallet, there is no Bitcoin network fee charged to you. However, if you use Coinbase, you'll end up paying a lot more in fees than you must because Coinbase uses very inefficient fee-estimation systems and still haven't deployed SegWit or batching which would reduce network fee for their customers.
It's funny to me how many people are outraged at Facebook's focus on data collection and privacy "invasion" for the sake of monetization. Every company is using whatever data they can access to make as much money as possible without alienating their user base.

Facebook might be more aggressive (or perhaps just more transparent) about it. However, to think, as a rule, any company (particularly a public company) is making decisions based on ethics or your best interest is naive. It's all about revenue.
