Let's talk in practical terms for a second, though. Do you truly believe that gun ownership in the US could result in a bunch of citizens overthrowing the US government should it become tyrannical? I just don't see it happening. The US military is far too well-trained and -armed, and of course a hypothetical tyrannical US government would turn the military against its citizens if there was an armed uprising. And they would win so laughably easily.

Now sure, there's the possibility that factions in the military would turn against this tyrannical government and save the day, but you don't need the 2nd Amendment for that to work out.

I used to have terrible "programmer" posture. It's still not great, but it's way better. I credit a regular routine of loaded barbell squats with an experienced trainer. I think part of the progress is because I got stronger, but part of the progress is because the squat would point out quirks in my body that simply had to be fixed in order to continue progressing.

There's only so much of "try to sit up straight" before you just go back to sitting the way your body has adapted to sit. In general, your body doesn't want to change. You need to provide some sort of external stress that forces an adaptation. Squats are great for this.

Anthropic principle, probably.

But... the universe is filled with water, so that's a likely medium for chemical reactions. And if you want long molecules to actually do interesting things, you need carbon in there somewhere. So the most likely chemistry is at least somewhat similar.

And for Mars, which is made out of similar stuff as Earth, and periodically trades rocks with us? If there's life on Mars, it probably shares ancestry with you and me.
What can force an interest rate rise?

Right now I can’t afford a house and would love to know the conditions that would increase interest rates.

Ask HN: How do you organise, store and share interesting articles/papers/etc?
I am wondering how other people try to permanently store interesting articles and documents they find on the web. Currently I have a folder in OneDrive where I save pdfs of the most interesting documents, but I find it very cumbersome, and it also makes it difficult to share a specific document since I can't just send a link.

So I guess what I am asking what is your way of permanently storing your "exploration" of the internet, your digital bookshelf if you will.

Rather than just coding, which can be pretty abstract for kids, I introduced my (almost) 11-yo son to the Arduino. The interface is pretty simple to explain for kids of that age - you have 2 places to put your code - the setup() and loop(), and the results are concrete - an led blinks, a motor turns, a car moves forward, etc. My son "got" Arduino programming easier than the graphical programming languages, but that might just be him.

He was also introduced to QBASIC at school (a year later), and he loves it. There are no INTs to declare, etc. Just your program. And graphics, sound, etc. is so easy to program.

Can you provide some sources of your claims ? For example of the people going against IPCC conclusions, as the people I know disputing their result are actually telling based on actual measurement IPCC underestimated the situation.

Same, it would be nice if you would source some of the "many" saying anthropogenic effects are minor to other causes. Why not explicting those other causes by the way ?

Same again for the actual results from field experiments not supporting evolution, please source them so we can read it ourselves and apply the principles of making our own min that you are putting forward.

I do agree that there is a religion of science or scientism increasing with time even among scientists themselves and undermining actual science, but this existing is not enough to dismiss the theory of evolution as a religious belief.

Can you also tell us what are the unanswered valid questions you're talking about ?

Right now you're talking in very vague affirmation that are unverifiable, which means your point will be dismissed as personal opinion.
Right and that's my point. Apple is good at this, but Android manufactures aren't. Typically you are lucky to get 3 years of updates. Some new phones, like the Razer Phone, don't even come with the latest version of Android.

iCloud in China: Frequently asked questions
$10B Lawsuit Filed Against Craig Wright Over Stolen Bitcoin
I don't think housing is in a bubble except for the Bay Area since new home sales are in a relatively normal range currently[1].

As far as the Bay Area goes it appears to be trickle down from FANG stocks buying up VC backed companies and the associated recycling of those proceeds into new ventures. There's also a bit of China money buying up single family homes, but China has been putting steady pressure on all that trying to plug those foreign exchange leaks, so if anything that's waning.

Where's the money for the stock market coming from? It used to be quantatative easing and FED reserve bond buying. I guess the yen carry trade in part and probably lately tax cuts a bit. It's harder to see where the money is coming from in the stock market though because buyers are largely anonymous.

The Master clue scroll

The rework for the Clue Scrolls is about to be released on today (February 26),The new tier clue scrolls is considered the highest clues, only from the very high level of boss encounter, to complete other clues or to obtain from the collection skills. In the main thread, you need to follow a series of clues that lead to the burial of the treasure.

Keep in mind that most new rewards can only be rewarded out of their main clues, except for the Robin Cap gear. You will not see the main clues and rewards on the giant oyster drop table.

More importantly, the main clue reel will involve older clues types, such as crosswords and expression clues. New facial expression cues and two new puzzle boxes will be added. At the same time, it will add a new clue skills puzzle challenge, requiring identification and completion of the correct advanced skills activities.

I suppose you'll have to pardon my cynicism towards how exploitable the general public is, or rather, how exploitative 24 hour political coverage is, at large to be worrisome that this wont just end up in pronounced levels of Tall Poppy Syndrome spreading through the population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome

Edit: Let me clarify something before it gets confused, I am not suggesting that the sort of inquiry on finances you're proposing is itself an example of Tall Poppy, I am saying that left unchecked the sort of thinking that goes into "we need use financials to vet the worthiness our prospective politicians" could have the result of overcorrecting the inquiry of integrity and objectivity in office to many of the symptoms endemic to the Tall Poppy phenomenon.

> if you do half your trip and 10mph and the other at 20mph your average isn't 15mph. You spent more time at 10mph!

If you're measuring "half your trip" in terms of distance covered, sure. If "half your trip" refers to half the total time, then your average is exactly 15 mph.

> And why do 3 buses come at once? Because the first one takes all the passengers, so stops more and gets slowed down. The other 2 catch up.

This is not related to the other phenomena you mention; as described here, the buses are actually being driven together as opposed to varying randomly.

>You said it was an embarrassment that @mxcl didn't get hired by Google because of the "dumb" question.

I only said it was an embarrassment that he said that and that they asked such a patently irrelevant question and then rejected him. I think you read a lot more in to that tweet (and possibly the situation) than was actually there.

It's entirely possible that they rejected him for a perfectly reasonable reason, though there's nothing to really imply that that is so.

>For me, questions that assess honesty, optimism, curiosity, potential, and communication skills all rank higher than technical questions that are "realistic".

Ok, so if that's what you're really looking for, do your job adverts actually state at the top "we seek honest, optimistic, curious candidates with potential and communication skills?"

I've got to be honest I don't see many job adverts that state that and I think "able to do the job" ranks higher up the list of concerns for most employers than "has a sunny outlook on life". Still, if that's what you want...

Realistic tests will, if realistic, implicitly test honesty to a degree (the candidate will at some point have to admit that they don't know) and communication skills and many other important traits you might not even realize that you needed to select for - in proportion to their relevance to the role at hand.

>If there is, I wouldn't know it, but I think you're wrong. Do you know more than @mxcl tweeted? Do you know for a fact what happened?

A little, yes, but that's not the point. You don't know more than what he tweeted and yet you inferred something quite insulting that he did not say or mean.

>The fact that @mxcl tweeted with indignance about his interview experience is what implied he expected to get the job without an interview.

That's 100% your spin. To me, it implied that he was pissed at being asked irrelevant questions. A quick google can actually confirm that (there's a quora thread about him).

That's pretty much what this whole thread is about. The OP's rant was basically "recruiter, your test is bad, here's a more realistic one you should try". My rant was about irrelevant questions and unrealistic questions.

>he shouldn't have to invert a binary tree because 90% of Google uses his software.

...and neither should most people who interview at Google because asking that question is irrelevant for ~90% at software engineers even at google (never mind elsewhere).

Frankly, even if you are an engineer that does use binary trees it's a bad question to ask.

>I don't really understand why you just got so snarky

Honestly? Because, in a situation where you didn't really have enough information to form a judgment you instinctively sided with the large, powerful, faceless corporation and showed distrust of the little guy who made a great piece of software for free that people love.

I think that's a pretty unhealthy kind of bias to exhibit.

>I'm honestly sorry if something I said ticked you off.

Yeah, sorry I probably shouldn't have snarked.

No, the "free market" has decided that the workers have a value below minimum wage to the company employing them. Remove the minimum wage and the workers will get more breaks, but earn less overall.

> Preventing this kind of abuse involves regulation

Or it may be a side effect of what regulation exists such as increased taxes for full time employment or minimum wage?
It depends on what you value. If you value keeping your data at home, and accept the trade off of higher cost and the need to maintain it yourself and use some sort of sync mechanism that isn't built into the OS, then you do that.

Employees moving to other companies which may pay less with better working conditions?
I don't. There are a few indicators though like the overall structure of the source files, how they are laid out on the file system. Minor details like inconsistent formatting. Typically if one or more of those indications is messed up, I'm pretty sure the rest of the codebase is also not in a good state. I still do skim through some files to confirm my expectation though.
Well capitalism is about concentration of wealth in little group of individuals. This little groups holds much power and power corrupts, hence the irresponsible people in position of power is a consequence of capitalism.

Of cours this is not the only cause, but this one is significant. From what I gather the underlying issue is one of culture of self and selfishness.

I'm not quite sure whether "accused of sexual misconduct" is that great either. Anyone can accuse anyone of anything, and especially on the internet, these things have a way of getting a life on their own. And especially in the case of public figures, these things can be an easy way to blackmail them/bring them down.

Not that I'm in favour of Google acting policeman, but these things are just pet peeves of mine that I think we should be careful with.
C/C++ compilers are different from other compilers. They are forced to support all kinds of complicated, too-many-cooks-spoil-the-broth, design-by-committee standards. If you just wanted to do another portable assembler, your new compiler would take just a fraction of the effort.
That's one reason rollup is better than webpack; the output looks almost hand rolled.
This.

How much of the anti-formalism attitude is about real difficulties of the method, and how much is about "I don't know this method, so it must be bad".

Code, regardless of what it does, is a state machine. That does not change whether you do it intentionally or not. And if you don't use state machine design tools to design them ... then your state machine becomes a huge mess with transitions going from everywhere to everywhere and very surprising connections in many places (and most/all of those will be bugs, bugs that no unit test ever is going to find).

Which seems to be acceptable for a lot of people.

Unfortunately, JS does not lend itself to ease of maintenance - it is bad that it became language for the web browsers.

You get dynamic weak typing making reuse more complex, unpredictable (nonlinear in performance with coffee changes) GC and JIT, weird type system. No error handling facilities in the language either.

Heck, compared to JS even modern Java (which shares the GC and JIT unpredictability) or C++ (incl. arcane syntax and less safety if you like living dangerously) seem easy to achieve predictable results with.

In your opinion, what constitutes "some"?

At the end of the day we are still talking about people who have the same basic Constitutional rights as everyone who isn't an elected (or appointed) official, right? The moral and ethical scrutinies are certainly higher than they would be for you or I as mere voters, the legal scrutiny is unquestionably higher-this much I am not here to dispute or question.

It is this:

How do you build a bridge between holding your officials to a high standard and ensuring their ability to conduct the tasks of governing with integrity without ourselves resorting to destroying certain pillars of our legal system-either prescriptively or descriptively to do so?
