People are defined by their actions not by their own propaganda.

Civil rights activists fight against power systems, revolutionaries fought for representation: anarchists are violent thugs who pretend to be activists to justify violence towards anyone who doesn't share their ideology.

Understanding the obvious discrepancy between the words of anarchists and their actions is important part of being politically mature.

Anarchists already have a negative label: edgy people who pretend to be brave by wearing a mask and beating people / phone boxes because there's something wrong in their lives. If you don't believe that fine, trying to convince you of anything would be like trying to convince any other (moon landing / flat earth / building 7) conspiracy theorist. Enjoy your early twenties.

I thought that there had been studies that proved insulin spikes in response to sweet flavors even without caloric content? Not that I have links to them on hand.
E.g. certain sounds give alert of coming danger. People are good to remember previous events by traits they see. E.g. hear ice cracking - realise you may fall through soon.

Music rides on the same thing. Since music is frequently enjoyed in specific settings (e.g. festivities), it brings back those memories. Even if subconsciously.
Having dabbled in text-to-speech algorithms, I wish English had kept both eth and thorn, or had SOME way to distinguish voiced vs unvoiced th. There are few clues.
FreeCAD 0.17 release notes
Would like to see this measured with either gdp per capita ppp, or better median wages, preferably adjusted for local purchasing power.

Gdp per capita doesn't take into account different purchasing powers locally. Nor does it take into account income inequality. i.e., the influence of a few people on the happiness measure is negligible compared to their influence on the income statistic.
What this chart shows to me is that GDP is not a good measure of people's wealth. For example Luxembourg is shown as an outlier because it has a very high GDP but not a similarly high satisfaction score. And I think that is because the economy of Luxembourg is largely banking, where the money will just belong to a rich few, not to the average people.
Except cops don't follow the law. They setup illegal processes like automatic speed cams and parking rules designed for pure profit, they shoot people in the back, they continually promise to protect people but in reality they do nothing besides impose their will and take the peoples property and money.

My Dad used to see Tom Lehrer perform in San Francisco when I was a kid and had all of his records. My older brother and I loved them. Sliding down the razor blade of life, ouch!

I was surprised to read in the article that my Dad's old friend Lou Branscomb performed with Tom Lehrer.
as someone stuck in dead comment hell for what I assume was massive down votes for writing an unpopular opinion, I feel that.
Is it possible the whole push to 5G is to get out from under royalties? The first published 5G spec was not Qualcomm. There is definitely a technical improvement, but I’ll bet there is more to it.
To add to that, celiac can be so bad that even the smallest cross contamination can be devastating.

Think about it like this:

You cut some raw chicken on a cutting board, then wipe(not wash) the cutting board and reuse it with something else.
That cutting board is now likely to contaminate anything else you put on it with salmonella.

The same is true for gluten. While the effects of gluten contamination is not likely to be be fatal from one contamination, a celiac will be sick for the next week or two and causes lasting damage to the small intestine.

Celiac is not cured, but with a totally gluten free diet within approx 5 years the damage to the villi has seen to be mostly healed (depends on the individual). Each contamination sets this back. Important to note that celiacs still must not ever have gluten even after the villi have recovered.

My wife has celiac, I have a gluten sensitivity (causes migraines, brain fog, other intestinal issues). When we go out we just say we both have celiac.
So many restaurants claim to be be gluten conscious but really have no idea... Sometimes it's obvious ("hey, I can see that you put croutons on this and then took them off"), often not without seeing the kitchen, though.

When we found out my wife has celiac we had to replace all of our cookware, toaster (obviously!... But didn't think about it at first), cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc.

The good news of celiac is that it is easy to treat and feel much better relatively quickly. Societal nicities like going to to a restaurant, eating at a friend's or family's house, having a drink, etc are all much more stressful, though.

Ask HN: If today is your last day then what will be your advice to HN Users?
Why suspicious? Simply because it is out of the ordinary?

Fraud detection systems basically have most of their feedback mechanisms geared toward reducing - even eliminating - false negatives, and very little attention comparatively given to false positives as long as no individual merchant notices a measurable drop in sales.

Meanwhile, a hapless individual might have many of their purchase attempts foiled as false positives, and be left with little to no recourse (well, I suppose their complaint on Twitter may go viral, that does seem to work occasionally with ebay).
We can only hope the elite take our food and women, it's time for a good riot in the streets.

The Game Theory Math Behind Rock Paper Scissors
Well, in the attempt to make a snazzy graph the designer has actually obscured what the data show. People are used to the most desirable point being at a corner on this kind of thing, not in the middle of the side.

Regarding what it's showing I have some real reservations about the satisfaction score. It's pretty subjective how happy a person is, and it's not actually that easy to translate the question into foreign languages. Just consider in English:

- Are you happy?

- Are you generally happy?

- Are you satisfied with life?

- Are you overjoyed?

All these things mean something similar but cannot easily be translated to all other languages in the study.

Plus there's a question of how people really think about the question. If I'm living in Scandinavia I will constantly be bombed with the results of this exact type of study. Maybe I won't think so hard when I consider what the answer should be. Because I know it, I read it in the paper.

On the income side, you could argue that the score should be the median income, not the average. There's a number of small, rich countries where a few people are insanely rich. I think Equatorial Guinea showed up on one of those GDP/C lists last time I looked.
I do not know if this is an issue with RPI, but some crappy devices only support TFTP from the DHCP server, you can solve this with two dhcp servers or iptables port forwarding.
Even a silence can be interpreted in such manner. Should we be able to retrospectively edit the past if it somehow concerns us? Seriously, given how stirred up things are, it's not unrealistic to imagine that someone would want you to "feel guilty" of not posting something in the past.

This is not a tech problem (at all). This is a social problem that had existed since forever, but now uncovered by technology's availability. And if the agreed solution to the "world's gone mad" is to grant one legal ability to alter other's memories, then the world's truly gone mad.
I see where you are coming from, but C offers a cautionary tale: It offers more choices than most languages, and that creates a number of traps for the unwary. Maybe, however, that is only because it allows mixed-type expressions?
A potentially interesting additional axis would be income inequality. One very wealthy person among the poor can skew the average GDP considerably, but happiness is relative to a fixed maximum and doesn't distribute the same way over the population. Qatar might be an example of this.
Surely there degree (no pun intended) to which a species can be"warm blooded" is a gradient. Even fractional presence of temperature regulation could have allowed for species to live in colder parts of the planet.

The 7 Mistakes When Selling Your Business That Every Buyer Wants You to Make
I recently turned 40 so I’m thinking about old people stuff. But I know it’s not too late to reinvent yourself.

Despite years of chronic fatigue (hence my username) I decided to start a manufacturing business and go after all those dreams I had as a kid but never knew how to get to.

Reinvent yourself. It’s never too late. Some of your best years may lie ahead.

> (NEW! Postgres-BDR 2.0 on Server Version 9.6 Now Available!)
2ndQuadrant is proud to announce the availability of BDR 2.0 running as an extension to community PostgreSQL 9.6 for its support customers. You can now make full use of the additional features offered with PostgreSQL 9.6 while using Multi-Master Replication from BDR, fully backed by 2ndQuadrant’s world renowned 24/7 Production Support. Fill out the contact form below to get in touch with us.

This suggests to me it's not really open to the public. And there is no release 2.0 on github (https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/bdr/releases).

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and the 2.0 release is accessible without a 2ndquadrant support contract (or reverse engineering the changes from the github repo branch, which pretty much ensures you're never going to production with it), I'm genuinely interested.
But parent was saying leading to slavery is WHY it's illegal. Not a consequence of it being illegal. By that logic jobs should be illegal in general.
it is in their business interest to NOT find any personal information (since then they would have to return the items), so I presume they just quickly discard any papers or other things found in the bag, and reformats the laptops without looking at them first.
I mean, how likely is it that a laptop has NO personal information on it?!

It seems unlikely. 5G NR has huge Qualcomm support.

I believe specs aren't generally published by companies, but they use a lot of the IP from companies. That IP is supposed to be licensed under FRAND terms to anyone (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory).

Which properties are you referring to? My understanding is that ES6 is back compatible and so that can't be case. There's "use strict" but that's a different kettle of fish; a pragma that changes runtime behaviour..

I agree with this. I am surprised that rather than trying to define itself as journalistic, Google isn't trying to present itself as an archivist (I am unaware if this has any legal meaning).

I wonder what would happen if an explicitly archival service like the Wayback Machine got itself a state of the art search algorithm and became widely used in casual search. Would it also be required to delist?
It is absolutely no different from debugging Javascript. In Javascript you have an expectation of types in your mind, that are not guaranteed. The same is true of Typescript. The difference is, Typescript will catch most exceptions to the type system at compile time. It is not sound, but is extremely useful.
I wouldn’t think it was a breach, but rather a bunch of cracked accounts (probably using other breaches - credential stuffing). Spotify Premium accounts are a large target, because they can be sold for a few bucks a pop. What they’re really going for are Spotify Family accounts, because then they can sell “Premium Upgrades” using the empty slots on the family account.
It's a well known fact that Latin American countries rate themselves as subjectively happier.
This is hugely visible in architecture.

There is a gray, rectangular building made of cinder blocks not far from here. The lighting is sufficient for all tasks needed, and its heating, cooling and drainage functionality is optimal.

A more recently built structure used for a similar purpose sits a few blocks away. Several pointless curves, colors and contrasting materials were used in its design.
Light is allowed in from overly large windows near the roof line, leading to wildly varying amounts of illumination in much of the interior. It does not heat and cool evenly. The landscaping is excessive and requires additional maintenance.

Strangely, construction projects seem to be trending away from the former type of structure and toward the latter.

Which building would you rather work in?
Probably, but they have a whole portfolio of related patents obtained at later dates.
You're right, this chart [1] from their blog post about it [2] is far easier to read. I don't like the design as given.

A thing to say in Weller's favour: They stock parts forever. My Weller station is somthing like 35 years old, now, still works perfectly. But someone damaged the sleeve that holds the tips in place. No problem, for a modest cost I could still buy a replacement, even though that particular part no longer fits any contemporary model of iron Weller sells. Kudos to them!
But there is no law that is crafted for this "very limited and well defined problem". "Right to be forgotten" goes much further than that. I can tentatively agree that for your proposed situation, it's unfair enough to former felons that it may require government intervention. Unfortunately, there's just no legislation that is focused and limited in scope in this regard; instead, the move is to broader, looser and vaguer laws like the GDPR.

If we have to consider the reality of the situation for felons, we must also face the reality that they don't really seem to be the end goal, but just a story to placate worries about overregulation and censorship.
This is one of the worst data visualization graphs I've seen in my entire life. I had to rotate my monitor 45 degrees to have any idea what was going on.

Even that would only address financial incentives (and just the rational ones, at that). There are - unfortunately - others.
Qualcomm keeps making new IP that has contributed to newer standards like CDMA2000, UMTS & HSPA, and LTE. The article makes it seem like it's Qualcomm's "CDMA Technologies division" that's driving revenue. That might be what Qualcomm calls the division (or not), but it sounds like the division that makes its chips.

Either way, Qualcomm still owns a lot of standards essential patents needed for running a modern wireless network or handset.

Revealed: Cambridge Analytica data on Facebook users still not deleted
Although this new scheme has the potential for punishing dissidents, I oddly don't find it too bothersome. Five years ago this idea would have seriously creeped me out. What has changed? To some degree I feel numbed and desensitized by my own government (USA) with TSA searching laptops and social media at borders, near total special interest control of "news" media, and the general feeling that now more than in the past the rich and powerful can just about get away with whatever they want.

EDIT: sorry, I didn’t express myself very well: I don’t approve of the proposed system in China, but given what is happening in the USA I don;t feel like criticizing other countries.
From my experience in using Typescript, it is extremely useful. It catches most errors instantly in your editor so you can correct them before even attempting to run your program or tests. This makes coding faster for me, even though I also have to specify types. This is not "overhead" - working through type relationships also improves your understanding of the code you are writing - often you will find errors in your reasoning before you've even written the code, just because spelling out the types leads you down the correct path.

Yes, there are cases where you will not find an error until run time. Debugging this is identical to debugging that same error in Javascript, because you know you don't have guarantees from Typescript.
Wow. 2 hours in the air and zero upvotes. Because AI is popular, I can only conclude that 'ethics' and 'morals' are not :(
Could you please expand on the soundness and completeness of first order logic? Isn't that false generally? Because you need a deductive/axiom system, so that you can ask the question of completeness/soundness. And ZFC is too strong, hence cannot prove its soundness and correctness at the same time. But you can formalize weaker systems in first order logic, that are provably complete and sound.
No. Unfortunately, they closed our office and moved a lot of the work offshore. As an aside, I did have a little laugh a year after they let us all go, it came out in the news that they missed a LOT of SLAs that next year and it potentially cost them millions.
The movie Elysium was essentially that. Though you did not mention the homeless population in the Bay Area. Wealth does not make a place clean; the Bay Area is filthy. Of course that’s liberalism for you.

But birds need more food than mammals. And birds are a group of dinosaurs. Under some classification systems dinosaurs (including birds) are in the reptile tree, but in others they aren't.
Public services, especially those run by China, don't exactly have a stellar record of being uncorrupt and accountable. What if the system is abused to shut down a competitor on the surreptitious "donation" of another company? What if being LGBT or the wrong religion is made demerit-worthy?

It would bother me a lot less if it were private and governed private services only. There's more accountability in the sense that, there will always be services available that don't require the credit system, and there will be multiple competing bureaus ala the current credit system.
I'm probably in the minority in that I basically don't care if I can get WiFi on a flight or not. Good opportunity to read and watch movies.

But to your broader point, it does increasingly become difficult to live somewhere without good Internet. I know people, including in tech, who manage with just satellite but it means largely doing without a lot of things that many increasingly take for granted like streaming video and music and being generally careful about large downloads. (Bandwidth/data caps is probably a bigger issue than latency in general.) 5G will help too.
biology have computation at the core?

Doubtful. You can to computing with DNA http://dna.caltech.edu but it is still debated if the actual role of DNA is being a code (some recently weasel out form that stance by saying it's an “app”, like there's a difference, machine code being a code). Coding theory applied to DNA yields inconclusive results. Galois theory usually has power over any kind of information encoding, cryptographic, computable or not. One constructed one for DNA convinced mathematicians it's not the way to go at all. If it's computation it's nothing like what we mean by any model computation, you may as well say it's magic instead of making stretched analogies.

About OpenBSD and evolution, that's so fetch... these folk invented the attack in the first place, not evolved a response to some market force in the early oughties. Broadly I don't think designed systems are in business of evolving, otherwise living organisms could perhaps evolved electro-hydrostatic instead of hydraulic power system with a pump being a single point of failure.
I happened to study this in my History degree back in 1995 (I took 'quantification in history' because I liked math, then utterly sucked at it. But I digress).

Happiness is an extremely tricky subject, and the Latin America thing brought back memories of discussions about whether LA countries and cultures simply self-identified as happy, or whether they really were happier. I always thought just asking people if they were happy was a really dumb way of comparing levels of happiness, and that more objective measures of populations, like number of suicides (however problematic in itself, eg a reluctance in some cultures to identify death as suicide) was more reliable.
