It’s been a while since I took a driving test, but I recall the test to be more than staying within the speed limit.

There was also staying in between the lines, following road signs, and integrating with traffic. Do you think you might have failed not because you weren’t pegged at the speed limit, but instead because you weren’t capable of driving safely?

I wasn’t there, so it could’ve been because you really were just driving too slowly. But maybe it was more than that.
Minor segue, is there any easy way to Geo-block URLs, both by ccTLDs and by geolocation of IPs from certain countries.

I have pi-hole running but it doesn't support that currently, best it does is wildcard but even for that it needs domain and won't do just on the ccTLD.
How do you make a SELECT that gets the items in the correct order?

The point of the solution here is so you can simply go `SELECT * FROM list ORDER BY pos` and have the correct order.
Financial independence is more important. Once you attain that you can seriously fight back, it's about picking your battles. With the money he made in the sell he can do some SERIOUS investment into what he believe's in that's going to create magnitudes more mass in the direction he wants to go then piddling around without it. FI should be everyone's primary goal, because only then can you put your effort to what you truly believe in and be able to back it up no matter what.
Disagree - your argument makes no legal point. This suit is by institutional investors who have access to the best lawyers in the country. They chose to sue fully aware of the TOC, they obviously know more
I don't know about Android as I got sucked into the the Apple ecosystem early on, but FaceTime satisfies the video chat component. Android users can use Skype, I believe. I personally don't use gifs/stickers etc (what is the age range of the people using these things? Not judging, just curious) but some people I know use bitmoji in their iMessages. "Voice chat"... isn't that aka a telephone call?

People.. are these your real life friends and coworkers or online only? If they are real life people, they should be happy to contact you in whichever way you are reachable. Not sure why you would have to have facebook messenger otherwise fear dropping out of the social sphere. Is this a self-fulfilling FOMO situation?

I bet you all took you first job at Doctors Without Borders helping children in Angola. FFS the Waltons are the scourge of this world but I don't blame the kids going off to work at Walmart. I bet a lot of you pay taxes in the US too-- those taxes financed the war in Afghanistan but you didn't move to Morocco, did you?

Give me a break. Let this kid come in with a good attitude, eyes open, loud and proud. Who knows maybe he'll turn some heads. The guy signed and it is a good career move, what's wrong with cheering the guy up. Disappointed at you HN.

In Arizona a few years back they make drug testing mandatory for Taxi/Livery/&etc drivers so I looked up the law after the owner of the company told us "look, the law says I have to drug test you guys but it doesn't say you have to pass so just bring it in and I won't even look at the results."

Nothing disqualifies you as long as they have documentation of a background check and drug test -- axe-murdering crack head with a penchant for buggering small animals, perfectly legal.

The governor got some flack for that one...

> What’s the significance of this paper?

We're progressing from static neural nets (like the old TensorFlow) to dynamic nets (like PyTorch) and even dynamically generated on-the-fly neural nets (hypernets) which is great for creating architectures that better fit the problem, case by case.

This paper shows another way to generate a net from a net, but this time with self replication. Self replication could be useful for evolutionary optimisation, and, as they say in the paper, could become a rudimentary form of introspection. The idea of a "self-replication loss term" is very exciting, it's rare that we see such innovation in loss functions.
Facebook data misuse raises concerns over digital payments
Thank you for your thoughts. I wanted to share a couple recent reference points on the topic of bail/pretrial detention. Here is a cite to a recent CA case that came out of SF and discusses what judges must consider to set bail: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1886990.html. In CA, we also have Senate Bill 10 that is pending and deals with changes to the pretrial release system: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml...

The outleash regarding collecting personal data for election fiddling started with Trump and Brexit.

It's less about whether the index is fast, and more about performing self joins (often hierarchical depending upon the DB engine and what's supported) with arbitrary count. When it comes to DB queries, n queries is not really acceptable for a page of n items.
That definately is one solution, but perhaps made possible by restricting distribution of software in the first place to get a leg up (see comments regarding improvements and distribution restrictions regarding installer scripts in SLS http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2750). This suggests that it isn't a solved problem, because the initial conversion to an open source model (or free software) with support on the side may have required a different model to start the venture.

None the less, it's admirable, and hopefully a net benefit for everyone.

My point was more about Stallman and co calling foul with regards to software freedom, codifying their own ideal, but not giving directions to reach that ideal. This feels like a safe pulpit to sit upon, where their view isn't falsifiable, useful when they want to say "I told you so", and eventually taking all credit for everyone else's efforts in between to make the end goal possible.

OJ was not found innocent. Our criminal justice system largely does not find people innocent. It merely finds people "not guilty".

I realize that distinction may seem pedantic, but I think it's actually quite relevant in this case.

It's not sufficient that someone testified about what they saw, and have the case decided the other way. To start a perjury case against the witness, I would still demand all of the strictures of due process that apply to a criminal defense case.

That is, you would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the witness was _lying_ about what they saw. It would absolutely _not_ be sufficient evidence just to have a "not guilty" ruling. You would need to prove that they _could not have seen_ the testimony they provided.

Absolutely, this standard would make _some_ prosecutions against police for perjury hard or impossible. However, there are a number of cases that I believe could meet this evidentiary standard that are simply not pursued by the prosecutors office.
The most relevant part is from someone with zero knowledge of what happened?
Totally agree on enforcement, and probably agree on the term of the punishment.

In the vast majority of nonviolent cases I think we as a society tend to be overly punitive with the criminal justice system.

Maybe I'm making the same emotional overreaction here.
Here you've crossed into name calling of the sort the site guidelines ask you not to do. Edit: actually you managed to break three guidelines: that one; the one about shallow dismissals; and this one: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

It's fine to disagree or be critical in a substantive way, as many others in the thread have done. But it's not fine to arbitrarily reduce a subject to something ugly and trivial in order to demean it. In addition to being uncivil, that's off topic, since when you do that you're not engaging with the actual thing.

(Edit: I originally said "What's not fine is to spew reductionist bile"—but this also breaks the site guideline against name calling. Sorry! Not always the easiest rule to avoid breaking.)
There definitely is a lot of speculation surrounding the future of Bitcoin. https://cryptonewstrends.com/

1) There was the hack issue at Binance about a week ago.

2) Google made the alarming decision to ban crytpocurrency related ads

3) The US congress planned to hold a hearing on the impact of cryptocurrency and ICO’s on the financial market.

All of these happened in a relatively short frame of time.

The cryptocurrency market lacks complex regulations or insulation from shocks like this. So generally there tends to be frenzy when major news breaks, especially regarding BTC.

It might have something to do with the relative decline of Java - People used to flock to Clojure from the JVM.

In the current trend of Node-based backends, the combo of "share code on frontend & backend" and "use your existing Java backend libraries" is no longer so distinctive, because there are lots of npm libs available now for the backend. And there's the microservice trend, which also makes it easy to integrate JVM components into an otherwise Node based backend.

Clojure(Script) is still a much better language than JS of course, but the other factors offer less additional boost now than in 2015.

There seems to be a backswing of the pendulum now against microservices. Maybe we will get one for Node backends too?

Not at all. The market your product reaches is important.

> but the system is bad and needs to be destroyed

The system needs to be reformed, and that is currently happening, peacefully. Perhaps not everywhere at once and perhaps not as quickly as you might prefer, but open access publishing has made great strides in just a few short years.

This doesn't liberate the millions (probably) of academic articles whose authors relinquished their copyright to big publishers, but it is resulting in new tensions like Germany and Elsevier butting heads (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-00093-7) and SciHub and exciting new legislation

No destruction or 'very slight law-breaking' necessary, nor mealy-mouthed 'inadequate equilibria' lies-to-self necessary either. Change is happening, the world doesn't need to go all Mad Max.
I also use WorldNomads, they've had my back in the past when I've needed them and they are more affordable compared to local insurers in my country. Trust is more important to me than money when it comes to travelling to difficult places, or maybe needing health care in the U.S. If they can work to make it clearer why their offer is more affordable without losing critical coverage I'll give it a try next time I'm in Europe, maybe.
GUIs normally support keyboard navigation and TUIs can often use mouse. Some application may support keyboard poorly, but that would be the problem with that particular application, or GUI toolkit it uses, rather than the general GUI/TUI distinction.

Oh, yes, none of it is sandboxed from an actively malicious app—but an actively malicious app can just ignore your hosts file, too.

My threat model is a developer who includes a standard tracking snippet from a third party but is not going out of their way to reliably violate my privacy at all costs (because they have other features to ship, and the tracking snippet works on most computers). If your threat model includes actively malicious developers, stop running native apps from them at all.
This is only half the story. Several business models around open source are working and proven (e.g. hardware vendors writing kernel drivers) but there is also a lot of unpaid volunteer work that everyone seems to take for granted. GIMP is one example. And probably a large number of the packages on NPM. Or think about OpenSSL, everyone was just assuming it must be well-funded, while nobody was actually funding it.
I don't understand it from this angle, but to me, the general description of what they employ sounds very analogous to how noise cancelling headphones work for pilots. The noise generated by the engines, which normally would drown out any signal of humans conversing through air, is of known frequencies, and a synthesized version of that noise can be played back 180 degrees out of phase along with the original audio, cancelling the noise, revealing the signal. No one is implying that the headphones do this without sampling the engine noise, they might just not have to rely on the actual measurements in question to glean the necessary information to synthesize a signal capable of such cancellation. It reads to me like this broadband thermal noise is predictable, which is why they are able to synthesize it in the first place.

This will probably die down soon and people will go back to using Facebook like nothing happened.

General public doesn’t care about it as long as they can keep in touch with their friends and relatives for free.

That being said you might be able to get some people for your social network, for a couple of months until they abandon it and go back to Facebook or stop using any social media at all or start using reddit.
I'd say better than 50% chance that the delay increases. But the phrase would be unambiguous if it were called an "exponentially increasing back off algorithm".
they obviously know more

Or they're just greedy and looking for a quick settlement, like all other class action securities attorneys do when the sue over large stock price drops. These types of suits are filed daily, many of them without merit.

For a fascinating look at Bill Lerach, the lawyer who perfected this tactic, check out [1]. He squeezed so much money out of public companies and caused so many problems with these often ridiculous lawsuits, that Congress passed a bill limiting them that became known as the "Get Lerach Act". He eventually went to federal prison for paying kickbacks to plaintiffs.

> Since every browser on the iPhone is basically a UIWebView/SFSafariViewController controlled by iOS

Most browsers rely on WKWebView, which uses the Safari Nitro JavaScript engine but allows customization of the user interface as well. UIWebView is pretty much legacy at this point, and SFSafariViewController does not allow any customization beyond basic theming.

Unfortunately, this is not true. They only work in Safari and Safari view controllers.

Very good point. I think this is objectivization -- exactly the sort of cognitive glitch when I encounter people who look very different from what I am used to.

Moreover, a tag is an implementation detail which rarely represents everything about a type.
