We deal with Romas here in Lithuania for decades. Most of them are citizens. Although I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were never reported to be born and have no papers..

We tried all kinds of things. Yes, we tried to get their kids to go to school. We trie to build a police outpost in their village, burned in a week :) There're NPOs working specifically with them. The only problem is lack of will on their end.

As for your upper level comment, we can either leave them as outcasts' clan or make then integrate. In their current shape, they clash with modern society too much. Stealing, begging, dealing drugs, living in unregistered shacks, squatting public parks while keeping children away from education is what put them into their position in the first place. Either we look them up for all felonies they do or they have to learn to live with the rest of us. Their "special" way of life is not something that can continue and be respected in any way.

> Clearly you can find numerous cases in sports of individuals overcoming physical limitations by finding alternate pathways to success (take for example short/shorter NBA players).

Maybe height disadvantage was canceled out by other genetical advantage in that case. The more popular sport is and the more competition there is, the less likely are those people will be to appear. You picked rare outliers to argue against trend.

> Furthermore, those with "good genes" do not always find success.

Of course. Nobody is saying that right genetics is the only factor. Starting to train young is oftentimes factor too. So is food quality. And quality of training. And amount of it.

> In competition, preparation and luck far outweighs the gene factor.

In modern competition, every single competing person have right genetics and tons of preparation under belt. And average sportsman is normally waaaay above average person.

Yeah, short people are on average lazier to learn basketball. That is why basketball players are disproportionally tall. And guys with white fibres are lazy to weight lift, but somehow not lazy to do different sports.

Historically, airlines have been sympathetic to those situations rather than extortionate. Bereavement fares have been declining as ticketing has moved online but several major carriers still offer them.
The Selfish Gene isn't wrong, but its not true either. It's true your genes exist in you, and they generally evolve to survive.

However, "Selfish" genes can do some rather unequivocally selfless things. E.g. symbiosis.

Just let that number sink in a bit. 80M/2844 = ~30K accounts / breach.

And still, just about every service that you have to make use of (your HOA, your insurance company, your government and so on) wants you to trust them with your data secured by a userid and a password that they will administer on infrastructure that they are most likely not competent to secure.

One of the best things to come out of the GDPR is the reporting requirements for breaches. You can expect a lot more of these updates in the future.

> Does a "real interest rate" per your definition actually exist?

I think the closest measure we have is the difference between the interest rates banks charge from loans compared against the "overnight rate" of interbank lending. This is controlled by the fed (through the federal funds rate) and is another control the fed has to control interest rates.

If I remember correctly, one of the hindrances for the 2008 recession recovery was that the interest rates (offered by banks) remained high as the fed lowered the federal funds rate. The goal of the rate is to control lending and in that recession it was not working.
The alternate pathways being also genetic, contradicting your point. Spudd Webb had the 5th highest vertical leap in NBA history [0] That's not something that can be achieved by preparation alone.

On top of which third parties will probably implement IP.
He also says peer to peer, but perhaps he just means point-to-point, in which case it will be very similar to existing satellite communications network, perhaps just more and faster.
That would mean the third party website would get traffic without the user having clicked on a link, creating a privacy issue.

Ironically, the right thing as decided by the meat eaters who feel uncomfortable around vegetarians. Watch the video to see the explanation, but the whole point is that vegetarians who don't enforce their views on others still have to deal with people getting defensive around them.

Sure, as an individual, your direct powers are limited, but they're a lot less limited than if your kernel is closed. You can offer a cash bounty to anyone who wants to fix the bug (not just those employed by the kernel-vendor) and you can deploy their fix to your own systems independently of the kernel vendor releasing an update (or, accepting the fix at all) because you can build the kernel from source yourself (or, again, you can pay someone to do this for you). If you can't afford a big enough bounty to get anyone to bite, you can team up with others affected by the bug to pool your resources, and you can even use the kernel bug tracker to coordinate this effort.
You presume a person does not already do those things.

Doing the right thing now, and preparing for the worst just in case are not mutually exclusive (a smart person can have more than one plan going at a time).
Depending on the state you may not even have state taxes. In most states the top marginal rate with state taxes will be under 30%. Also, Germany has 20% VAT, plus health and social security contributions which I’m not counting.

I applaud the dedication and effort that the author puts into HIBP.

One small suggestion, though: I wouldn't harm to ask somebody to proofread public statements like this, especially since this is a highly trust-related topic. The density of typos is annoying to me even though I'm not a native speaker.
I'm not a lawyer, and not a U.S. citizen, so I can't speak about details regarding the current legal situation about this. Maybe there are obstacles there, I wouldn't know that.

I do get the feeling however that we're making two different comparisons here. You seem to be comparing the "do community service" scenario to "pay a fine" scenario.
I am comparing the "pay a fine. oh, you can't? then do community service" scenario to "pay a fine. oh, you can't? then go to jail" scenario.

Granted, that kind of casy by case justice costs time and effort on the side of the state (i.e. tax payer) but personally, that's just the price of having actual "justice for all".
Using machine learning is indeed more like science than engineering. After all it is just building a model based on data that you have seen. The advantage of using ML is the model can be arbitrarily complex and something you'd never be able to come up with manually. But that model is only a part of a larger project.

To the engineer it seems no different to designing a solution in the context of accepted scientific theories. You can't engineer the theories, they are accepted based on evidence. But you can build the project around it.
I'll go against the grain here: I go out of my way to use UEFI over BIOS, because it Just Works for me.

When I got my first UEFI-using notebook in 2012 (same year as the submission), things were a bit rough because the Arch wiki did not quite know what it was talking about, and the Arch ISO was not UEFI-bootable, so you had to use some trickery to install an UEFI bootloader, but even then, it only took me two hours to figure out partitioning and install the bootloader.

Since then, stuff has gotten much better. Just recently, I switched my VirtualBox VMs to use UEFI emulation instead of BIOS emulation because it allows me to use the well-designed systemd-boot (previously known as gummiboot) instead of that absurd abomination called Grub 2.
Right - if you need a sponsored visa to work then, until you have that sponsorship, you are not authorized to work in the US. So if you ask someone this question, and they answer ‘no’, then if you really want to hire them anyway you can look into sponsoring them for a visa. But if they answer ‘yes’ (and provide the necessary documentation to prove it), you aren’t then supposed to care how they acquired that authorization.

This is complicated a little for transferable sponsored visas like the H1B. Someone already on an H1B might reply ‘yes’ to the work authorization question, but with the caveat that you would need to take on their sponsorship. Technically, their answer should be ‘no’. They aren’t authorized to work for anyone other than their sponsoring employer, in a specific location, with a specific job title. As I say, the point is that if the answer is ‘yes’, not ‘yes but’, or ‘no’, then you’re not permitted to discriminate. Asking someone with work authorization questions about their visa type should be as much of an interview no-no as asking a candidate if she’s pregnant.

Only exception is certain jobs can place citizenship requirements because of security clearance requirements.
i think he is omitting a few words: he might want to say that science created the means for European powers to build empires by dominating people in far off places; these empires ran on slavery, racism & genocide in far off places (the colonies); much later in the twentieth century the violence & genocide came back to continental Europe in the form of two world wars (when the same weapons and ideologies that were developed to kill 'colored' people were turned on the Europeans). in the aftermath some people try to make sense out of this mayhem and they ask the question of 'what's the point of this project ? Are these ideas of enlightenment at fault of getting into such a mess? (or might it have been something else like how we applied them) ? and what can we do about it ?' . Is that correct ?
That’s not the brutal cost of ACA, that’s the brutal cost of inserting businesses into healthcare via offering them tax incentives for no reason. Simple solution exists:

1) government provides taxpayer funded healthcare

2) government mandates everyone buys health insurance via healthcare.gov

3) government is not involved in at all, including Medicaid and Medicare and does not offer any kind of assistance to business to offer health insurance such as tax deductions

> This somewhat undercuts TFA's "this because of that" narrative. (Really the only flaw in a wonderful article.)

You're underselling this flaw, because it's fatal. A major issue with a lot of pop science is this exactly: the author is much too confident in connecting disparate ideas (because it serves good storytelling and increases trust in the author), when in actuality it's very dangerous to assign intent to things like evolution. For example, a common statement you hear is "evolution caused..." Evolution doesn't have a will or do anything deliberately, nor does it always tend towards the best way to do something or a beneficial mutation. The author also engaged in this flaw by giving fetuses wills (similar to how some writers anthropomorphize animals including primates). So while the doctor goes on in the whole post comparing different species and their different gestational evolution, at the end of the day, it's just a theory that combines different points.

Edit: Downboats? Berry?! Not on my HN!
Impressive. It would be difficult for you to be more wrong, and reading the article and noting that

> [ex-coworkers at microsoft] confirmed that my fix should mitigate the bug (I’d already noted that it had allowed ~600 clean builds in a row), and promised to create a proper fix in Windows.

would have saved you the bother of nerd-sniping.

The coherency notes in the article you link are irrelevant because they're about concurrent access. In TFA, the file is created (through mapping), closed, then executed. Sequentially. Also no ReadFile or WriteFile involved (in fact though I don't know how Windows implements it one would expect PE loading to use memory mappings, and thus be covered under coherence guarantees)

TBH I don't see myself using this package: in its current stage it is very little code, and almost every method has an issue either with edge cases or with API; also, it is tied to requests library, unnecessarily IMHO, and in my opinion it is GPL even if setup.py says it is MIT.

Because there is nothing usable code-wise in requests-html from my point of view (it is no better than existing alternatives), I don't feel like raising these issues, advocating for fixing them, discussing alternative solutions with a goal of improving requests-html. Of course, everyone is free to raise these issues in a repo.

I appreciate the work put into requests-html API design, the design is very nice overall. This might be a way to go: create a nice API design, attract people, fix implementation over time, but this battle is not mine, sorry :(

Elon probably wants a mesh net so that SpaceX plans on satellites either failing or being able to add capacity at will. Elon designs his systems to be cheaper by making the systems more fault tolerant so it seems like that pattern would extend to this network. Also, he will be using extra capacity from SpaceX having more launch windows to put the satellites in orbit.
