Poor Reddit management. Too busy censoring everything.
Because when accusing gun control of being sinister in the U.S., using stabbing statistics creates a false equivalence with the U.K.

Nobody is promoting murder here so why would you even ask that?
That's a pretty textbook example of cherry-picked data.

Why did they look at "gun murders per capita" specifically instead of just "murders per capita"? I don't know about you but I don't particularly care about how I get murdered just if I get murdered.

If you look instead at murders per capita the US is still very high at 4.88 vs. the UK's 0.92 but clearly not "30 times higher" either.

> I'm guessing that the mobile version does have less execution units.

They don't. The architecture of their mobile CPUs is exactly the same as the desktop versions. (They use the same die.) The difference is in the thermal limits, which determine how long the CPU can spend at each power state.
To be clear, this is an extreme circumstance where people hunting for an explanation could easily gravitate toward misinformation is a uniquely destructive way.

Hinge Health | https://hingehealth.com | San Francisco | Full Time | ONSITE

Hinge Health offers digital delivery of best-practice care for chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain without resorting to drugs or surgery. We accomplish this through a program based on three core pillars: exercise therapy, coaching & lifestyle, and education. Exercise is tracked through an Android app and wearable sensors, and a personal health coach adds vital support and motivation.

Our results are inspiring and leads to measurable drops in pain and surgery likelihood. Witnessing some of the patient testimonials sits among the most precious moments of working here.

We partner with brand-name corporations to offer our kit to their employees, usually covered as part of the overall benefits package. This creates a rare win-win scenario where all people benefit from our continued success – and we're growing fast!

Tech stack: Amazon, Aptible, Postgres, Redis, RoR, Android, React, and React Native.

We're looking to hire for two main roles: Ruby on Rails for general backend engineering, and Javascript/Typescript for our React and React Native frontends. Previous iOS native experience along with React experience is a huge plus! We do not have an apprenticeship program at the moment, so we will require previous industry experience for either role.

Our engineering team is led by people who truly care about doing right by the world, and inhumane practices of all kinds are verboten. In addition we stand strongly by good engineering principles, so concepts like linting and testing are given due respect. Our hiring process does not include whiteboard challenges or algorithm puzzles (see my comment history for my personal thoughts on the subject).

Daily wellness sessions and paid-for parkside lunches are among the things that makes the day-to-day here quite a blast!

If this sounds inspiring to you I'd love to talk: julian@hingehealth.com
If the reliability stays constant expressed as a rate (arguably optimistic), like ".1% failure per X flights", and the # of flights increases, then failures become more frequent.

Failure rates must decrease proportionally to the utilization/capacity increase for the # of failures to stay constant. Otherwise, the # of failures will naturally increase, it's simple multiplication.

For example:

If crime rates stay constant, but your population increases, you have more crime - not the same amount of crime as before. you have more terrorists, you have more school shootings, because your population doubled in size and you didn't cut the rates of abhorrent behaviors in half.

Air travel has _exploded_ in popularity, this is why you see all sorts of things more frequently than you did before. From reports of airline passengers being dragged off planes in totally asinine scenarios to deaths of pets in the cabin.

Nope, nothing to do with surrogates either. Surrogates are code points encoded with 2 code units of 2 bytes each. A number of emoji, like the heart, are coded using multiple code points, which is even more bizarre.

>You don't have to live here, but it bothers me that you feel so free to say that on HN.

Yet, isn't the freedom to say what they think a core tenant of what it means to live in the us? Why would this bother you?

>And it seems to me that talking trash about the US while this incident is still live is just not exactly sympathetic pro social behavior.

Saying you don't want to live someplace because of a perceived issue, isn't trash talking.

>There are better times and places to hash out the fact that the US has a problem.

When is it time to hash this out then?
Extracting Audio from Pictures (2012)
I agree with your observations about the US (as an inhabitant myself), a lot of people forget or deny these points.

I do disagree with your conclusions that it must stay this way, because I feel that on the gun issue, the resulting policies are leading to more guns in unqualified hands and more violence. I think there is space for rugged individualism and sane gun ownership requirements.
17y/o Sings Beautiful Cover of the Weeknd's New Song: “Call Out My Name”
Hey, I still play MUDs too! It's an underappreciated kind of game, but I understand why it's not accessible to most. I play over at Dead of Night (deadofnight.org) - pop in, the multiclassing system is ridiculous and awesome.

I think MUDs vs. Visual Games is analogous to Books vs. Movies. Yes, movies will always be able to achieve a level of graphical impressiveness that a book can't.

What a movie can't do is give a viewer the ability to construct a world in their own imagination. MUDs are the same way - every MUD player creates visual imagery in their minds, including what a given room or item looks like.

> At the height of Watergate a drunken Nixon was quoted as saying "You know what the difference between us is? I'll tell you, I can walk out of this room right now and give an order and a hour later 80 million people are dead".

Sorry, I'm really struggling to take this example seriously, despite the fact it was obviously meant in jest and Nixon was far smarter than most people give him credit for, as it ignores so much context, obvious deterrents, and basic common sense that it hardly changes the equation at all.

Nor does the two potential major known nuclear near-accidents, as I've already conceded that much could be done to minimize the risk. Yet it could still be entirely logical to maintain nuclear weapons as an option going forward and to hold the opinion it was historically ultimately beneficial to society as a whole...

It's hard to have a conversation when so many have angst or animosity toward academia. how many times have I read denigrating opinions of the validity of research here on HN
1) Huh. Weird it exists at all then.

2) Hrm. I guess maybe? As I understand it, the reason for a client token is to have stateless servers, so the server doesn't need to look up a valid token upon every request--which scales better. In my case, the API endpoint is for something that doesn't (and won't) get a lot of traffic, so I can probably get away with a 256-bit random token over TLS? Since it's over TLS, there probably aren't MITM attacks to sniff the token and replaying it--so it's probably ok? Are there other considerations I'm not aware of?
Yup. Cities are population sinks.

I want to offer additional context for other people who read this and may not be familiar with how 3D printers work. The core components of a 3D printer are not currently printable. These components are: power supply, control board, steppers, rails, bearings, belts, hotend, and the bed. When people talk about printing parts for their printer, they are almost always referring to the secondary parts like the carriage assembly, extruder gears, fan shrouds, and frame components that can be made from a large variety of cheap materials (acrylic, MDF, ABS, etc.). We are a very long way from a printer being able to actually replicate itself.

I think the most useful parts of the document are the 'really try hard to use TLS for any comms problem' or 'try to use Amazon's key management for encryption' answers, and pointers to good libraries.

Beyond that: developers aren't normally tasked with building systems out of cryptographic primitives. Those that do are typically (hopefully!) experienced enough to pick a solid primitive.

Those who need to look-up which primitive to use need to know that the security of the final system is primarily going to pass or fail on the _composition_ of those primitives rather than the particular choices.

What would be really cool would be a document that takes common use cases and describes how best to build in the cryptographic aspects of the security. Edit: e.g. a good list of OpenSSL ciphersuites and SSL_CTX_config() blah calls for server auth and mutual auth is probably the biggest bang for buck you can get.

I don't want to come across as critical of the effort or correctness --- but I do I think people really need to hear the danger klaxon when they're doing more than just editing a TLS configuration file. Composition of primitives is really hard.

Apple designed ARM silicon does not preclude being vulnerable to Spectre (or other hardware level bugs).

Both Intel and Apple have large talent pools of excellent silicon and lithography engineers but that hardly makes them immune to bugs, and some bugs will end up being vulnerabilities.
Should be noted that those are gross revenue numbers... ~80% of their gross revenue goes to the record companies and that percentage is constant as Spotify grows (i.e., there's no economies of scale to it).

It's similar to Uber, who had $37 billion gross revenue for 2017, but pays out 80% of that in driver commissions and additional subsidies to riders and drivers.

Seems like a problem for both industries; they'd need to hit insane scale (hard in music streaming for Spotify to 5x) or take control of the content/supply base to hold down costs.

So what is to be gained then by pointing out that gun crime is much higher in a nation where they are legal than in one where they are not? Unless you view gun ownership in and of itself as a bad thing, then it's a useless statistic. You're not reducing crime/murder by banning guns, you're just changing the weapon. That hardly seems like justification for violating somebody's rights (in the US, it is a Constitutionally guaranteed right).

You didn't clarify an argument, you simply made baseless assertions while claiming we don't know enough to make extrapolative arguments.

Literally everything that humans understand is understood in a framework of information processing. It is probably not even possible to understand something without being able to model it as an information-handling process. What basis do you have to say consciousness is different? Because we haven't figured it out yet? It's 2018. There are billions of years of thinking that have yet to happen on the subject.

I'm admittedly not a particularly big music person but I'd have trouble seeing subscribing to multiple music streaming services unless one of them was for some obscure sub-genre I was really into. A lot of music seems to be ambient. If there's some artist I really need, I'll but a CD now and then.

Mind you, I don't like video being fragmented but that's a more deliberate choice a lot of the time for me. I'll subscribe to a few places based on available and original content--somewhat grudgingly to be sure--but I accept those are my options.

None at all. Automata are used to turn a program from its textual form into some manageable data structure that something else will consume (actual interpreter/optimizer/compiler). At some point in the course (in the racket part) you will be asked to implement an interpreter for MUPL (made-up programming language), but the programs are directly written as a data structure - so no need to parse; in racket both data and code look exactly the same - it'll be a breeze.

I think the only requirements for this course is some plain procedural language (C/Pascal).

I'm neither Maven nor Gradle ninja. Just a senior software developer with 15+ years of experience...

> Maven requires a lot of boilerplate for everything. Copy-paste

I think you may be doing it wrong. Maven supports declaring project-wide or module-wide entities and their attributes at every level. Duplication or copy-paste is a sign of not understanding Maven

> Gradle... It's an environment for programmer

To me this is a counter-argument. When I need to understand project configuration I expect structure, not behaviour.

While a lot of it is people trolling or just being antisocial, it's worth noting that a lot of people joke about tragedy as a way of coping with it. 'Gallows humor' and whatnot. So my default assumption is not that the person is a sociopath, but that they are attempting to cope, and don't necessarily have the EQ to know what the time and place for that response is.

The issue that I see here: Yes, I believe that the second amendment was primarily intended to help overthrow an out-of-control government. It was authored in a time where memories of the Revolution were fresh. Muskets, bayonets, and cannon were the weapons they had in mind, and a lot of the country was close to frontier wilderness.

Now, there is no militia to speak of. The federal government and its assets span the width of the continent. It's hard to imagine how civilian guns would help overthrow that. Obviously, things would come down to guerrilla warfare. 231 years have changed the situation a lot. The assumptions that were made then don't really apply...and the interpretation of the amendment, and the discussion around it, have shifted in that time, as well.
This is a very simple RESTful API handler, that allows you to use the data, from an API without creating your own GET request, simply use the function from the module to get the data.
Based on the comments here, it's hard to place the line between using this kind of argument in good faith vs bad faith. I'd propose that the line can be drawn at using contradictory premises.

If you make two arguments, and one depends on not having a dog while the other depends on having a dog with certain characteristics, then only one of these premises can be true. So you are making at least one of the arguments in bad faith.

It gets subtle, though. Compare "I have no dog, and if I do, my dog couldn't have made those particular bite marks" to "I have no dog, and even if I do, no dog in the world could have made those bite marks". The first does have contradictory premises: it can't be true that I have no dog and that my dog's teeth have certain characteristics different from other dogs. The second does not have contradictory premises: It's possible both that I have no dog and that the person was bitten by a non-dog animal.
