A lot of what we think of as “marriage” comes from the entirety of human history where women were bought and sold as bargaining chips in their male family member’s lives. They were used to ensure inheritance, line of succession, and to cement business relationships. Not until just the past couple centuries in western society has there even been a concept of marrying for romantic love.
that's due to decreasing demand in java.

Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan are a lot more interested in being friends with the West than with China. Those are four of China's most prominent neighbors. Why would they all share that in common?

Nobody over there wants to be China's puppet state, that will include North Korea if it decides to open up. That doesn't mean China won't have an outsized influence in trade and politics (it obviously will given its immense economy), however NK will very obviously aggressively seek to diversify its trading and become less dependent on China.

The US is about to make Vietnam rich. As it did with Japan, South Korea, and China before it. NK will seek the same exact outcome.
I'm fine with that. I like people. I guess my main objection is against critics arguing sci-fi should look like regular old human story, but with sci-fi flavour. For me, the setting is an important part of the story, not just some irrelevant background styling.
Fun!

My uncle engineers water reservoirs and a few months ago he took me on a tour of a 45 MegaLiter concrete subterranean reservoir he had engineered. They were in the process of fixing a leak they discovered - using Kool-aid.

After discovering the leak, they gave a scuba diver a flashlight and a plastic bottle filled with bright red Kool-aid powder. The diver squirted the powder at various places around the reservoir and paid attention to where the red dye went, which found the leaks.
Ethiopia from 1935 to 1950 and 1965 to 1985 also slightly increased birth rates with slightly increased infant mortality. However 1985 to 2018 showed a very strong correlation.

Looking at other countries I think the effect is strongest under 120 infant morality and there are plenty of short term counter examples like the US from WWII to 1958. Or Albania from 1932 to 1968.

I'm guessing the point here is that the named groups feel particularly unwelcome at SO; this can be the case without any opportunity for or evidence of discrimination. The blog post wasn't all that clear about how they got the data, but they seem to have data to that effect. It might mean that the expectations of the named groups are different from those of the average white male programmer, or it may only mean that everyone is put off by SO equally but SO is no longer willing to alienate everyone if it also means alienating the named groups.
My experience is always been like this:

Question: I'm trying to do Y so I can do X. I know Z is the right way to do X, but I'm not allowed to do it for $BUSINESS_REASON that I have absolutely no control over.

Response 1: Don't use Y to do X. Use Z.

Response 2: $BUSINESS_REASON is stupid, fix that.

Then some time later I'll come back and post my work around, with fair warning it isn't the right way to solve problem X, but if you have to use Y this is the best I've found.
Sure it is! It's an interesting problem nonetheless :-)

I was in S. Korea for a bit and I heard a North Korean ex-patriot speak and she said something I thought was really wise. Which was - what's in it for S. Korea when it comes to reconciliation? N. Korea is way behind in terms of technology, infrastructure, standard of living. If there were any sort of reunification, it would fall mostly on S. Korea's shoulders to build N. Korea up to a reasonable standard of living, and that would involve committing to an enormous public expenditure for a very long time.

S. Korean leaders may publically speak about the desire for reconciliation, but it's unlikely that they would seriously pursue it considering the economic and political strain it would place on S. Korea.

N. Koreans have a much greater interest in reunification than the South does. But that interest doesn't extend to those in power in the North who would certainly be reluctant to give up that power.

So while reunification might seem like a nice sentiment, it doesn't seem like something that those in power of either side actually want.

I find my mouse too expressive to throw out.

emacs and vim have always had self imposed limitations by requiring that all of the core features work on a remote terminal (with mouse being an after-thought/optional extra). Sublime, VS Code, and even Visual Studio have no such limitation so I'll keep using them.

Each to their own of course. :)
I don't think anybody is missing that story. One of the reasons China has been very reluctant to commit to an actual peace process is the fear of American troops at its border after a reunification (oh South Korean terms).

I’m pretty shocked no one in this thread gives credit to China. Kim Jong Un did travel to Beijing in an armored car and met with Xi Jinping. China has also been levying sanctions and restricting tourist travel etc into the country. China is quite annoyed at what Korea is doing to threaten its Belt Road plans. And with the Korean conflict potentially over, China has free reign to dominate Asia, and push up against Japan. No doubt Trump likely pushed things to a head with his Twitter diplomacy but an extremely globally ambitious China has to play a role in this as well.
I think you've confused "going on date" with "dating". The process called "dating" has always included the initial part of sorting through possible prospects to go on a date with. Online dating is more efficient than what went before.

The process has also included getting-to-know-you conversation and trust-building, neither of which this impersonation accomplishes.

A date does take a couple of hours max. But if it works, it blossoms into a relationship, which takes significant time. And that same sort of significant time can be applied to dating.
This just makes so much more sense than the US's broken system.

Excellent; thank you for the clarification.
Exactly so.

I have tried most things.

I removed all the dates from my CV. No difference; a minimally intelligent pimp can add up. Degree, that's 3y; 3y in this role, 2y in that role, 2 years there, 16y freelancing... This dude is old.

So I removed the early junior jobs from my career history. Result, I got quizzed on how I walked straight into senior roles straight out of university.

So I left out some gaps in the timeline (I've freelanced quite a lot) -- and got curious about the specific tech I'd worked with in particular roles. Deploying Windows NT Server 3.1, or managing a migration from DECnet to TCP/IP, dates you.

You can fool the idiots, sure. But then your CV gets passed to non-idiots.

I don't advertise a DoB any more, nor dates of education, but I do give the years of my various permie jobs. It's easier to just be honest.

If they're ageist, as many are, then you can't lie or BS your way past that.

Ground – Beating Fake News by verifying news around us
Not the OP, but until not that long ago there was a social pressure thing of not "advertising" your relatives' history of psychological problems (mostly suicide or time spent inside a psychiatric ward) to outside members of your family, lest those outside members would think you had the potential of having the same issues, too. This is sort of similar to the "uncle" from your example not being free to post "his full medical and psychological history online", I mean, had he done that his family would have certainly retaliated by telling him to remove that information from public knowledge.

Btw, I live in Eastern Europe so I'm talking about stuff I've experienced here, maybe in the States or in Western Europe this behavior changed a long time ago and not only recently.
I’m not sure that decreasing demand in Java is what led to a Jetbrains Java IDE overtaking Eclipse. The total pie may be smaller, which in itself is probably debatable and I’m not going to bother researching, but I believe the takeover has more to do with an active android programming ecosystem than any of the other factors mentioned in the article. It would be interesting to see a breakdown between IntelliJ editions with Android Studio broken into its own product line.
Me too, and it wouldn't surprise me if a deal was struck: go for peace, you'll remain a buffer and own state. We'll support you and will be able to push investments into your country. Capitalism with socialist characteristics-style.
it's pretty scary how many newbies to programming think they could charge money for consulting on Solidity projects. Which creates this massive bounty opportunity.

Hi HN,

I'm a former NASA engineer now on a mission to fix the news industry. We take news from over 10,000 news outlets, plot it on the world map, and send every news article to people who are at the location so they can verify or debunk it
E.g.
1. "Fire at City Hall" reported by DefinitelyTrueNews
2. Ground picks it up and sends a push notification to people in and around city hall
3. 10 people deverified the news, 0 verified it; news flagged as [Fake] to safeguard the community

We can all work together to nip fake news stories in the bud.

Please try out the product. Any and all constructive feedback welcome :)

I always had a problem with the (modern) iMac form factor: the gray band at the bottom makes it so that the screen sits too high, and looking at the middle to topmost area requires either raising your eyes or your head, which on the long run produces fatigue and pain.

> Can it contain itself?

Well it does, trivially.

You’re probably thinking of set theory but the file system is about storing information in a sequence and an offset. Seen that way, π can be stored with offset 0.
Alternatively it could be argued that increasing temperatures and abundance of food favored smaller animals (including our very low-tech ancestors), which pushed the proverbial mammoths out of their ecological niche and into the oblivion.

The smaller the animal, the larger skin_surface:body_mass ratio, thus higher heat loss. The smaller the animal, the shorter the intervals between feedings it can tolerate. A large-bodied animal can go for longer period of time without food, especially if equipped with slow metabolism. In contrast, smaller body and faster metabolism requires frequent feeding, but also allows an animal to out-compete slower, larger ones both in food search, and by out-breeding them.

For any given body plan, an animal can only cover distance roughly relative to its body size; the smaller animal, the harder time it will have to find sufficient food on sparse, hardy cold-climate vegetation. On the other hand, once denser, warm climate vegetation takes hold, it allows smaller herbivores to live in higher density, and with higher breeding rate.

If I remember my biology right, the more an animal has specializations for particular environment or niche, the slower it will adapt to changed circumstances, both in body build, and in behavior & seasonal migration patterns.

Last but not least, a predator population requires certain density of prey to be sustainable. Once plant food becomes abundant due to warming up, and herbivore population grows, the population of predators can be established, and cull the large bodied animals unadapted to heavy predation.

This is kind of the point really isn't it. There was no forgery or abuse here, the certificate was issued in full accordance to the rules set out in the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements and the EV SSL Guidelines.

If there were any abuse or forgery taking place here the certificate would have been revoked for those reasons and the CA would be held to account for mis-issuing a certificate. That's not what happened.

Given the name of the account that made the comment I'm curious about the affiliation of the author, perhaps they would share that in the interest of transparency?
Came here to repost exactly that, thanks! I second the recommendation - this piece contains insights crucial to understand the perspective of the law wrt. all things digital.

I definitely agree the surface excuse is a lie.

But in this case, I think it's insane. It reduces to, "I don't want to spend getting to know a person I might spend the rest of my life with, so I'm going to jump right to paying somebody to lie to them." It's contradictory, at least for a real relationship. I think what it really means is, "I want a woman in the same way I want a new car: as enjoyable, status-enhancing property. But they insist on talking. So fuck that."

I don't really find this convincing. It seems like the data comes from a survey conducted by ZeroTurnaround which isn't really scientific evidence. I have a feeling that there is still going to be a significant market for a full featured, free Java IDE for a long time to come, though that's also an unscientific opinion :)
> Let's hope Trump weakening the US politically and economically plays out well for the world.

Well even CNN gave him credit for getting the two Koreas to talk and possibly end the 70 year old war:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/26/world/korea-summit-kang-kyung...

"Clearly, credit goes to President Trump," Kang told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in Seoul. "He's been determined to come to grips with this from day one."

So in this case political "weakness" does seem to play well for the world?
Sure.

Apple is very up-front about not wanting just a webpage in the form of an app. Since the original homepage was just that, the app required use of features that could only come from the mobile device, which include in this app, camera and tilt/motion sensors, as a core part of the experience.

The app, like many, has to use Apple's in-app purchases (IAP) to allow pixels to be sold. You can buy pixels on the website or the app, but the app can't link to any path that allows a website-based purchase that skips Apple's 30% commission.

And of course, even though the content is moderated before it makes it on, I had to provide methods to flag and block individual pixels, in the event someone sneaks in an offensive image. So that's in there too.

Even all the above was still coming up short of their "this doesn't do enough" feeling, so an entire suite of built-in games is included, and it will expand as the pixel lineup expands. There are two so far. They're simple, but they use the graphics as a tileset.
Back then, Eclipse was this big, bloated and slow IDE. IntelliJ was slim, fast and much more intuitive and powerful in terms of refactoring, etc. Today, IntelliJ is big, bloated and turning slow.

All of a sudden the idea of having a "savings account" along side your "checking account," and buying "CDs" will make a whole lot more sense.

The average savings account interests are currently around 0.02% APY. Those kinds of numbers make savings accounts meaningless--people just use them as a second account to help their budgeting. CDs are not much better, at 2.5% for a 5-year.

Compare that to 8% APY for savings accounts and 12% APY 5-year CDs in the 1980s, and you'll understand why they exist at all. People actually had a reason to chose interest-bearing savings accounts.
It's credible, but it's not the explanation.

The reason this is happening is that DJT made it clear that he would starve NK until they abandoned their nukes. Then he made it clear to China that the US would hit China's pocket book real hard if they did not cooperate. Then China made it clear to Kim that the jig is up. Kim doesn't want to hang from a lamp post, and neither do his henchmen. So Kim sued for peace.

Good for you! Sincerely!

I am very happy about the move. I'm glad to have left the UK and my quality of life now is far better than it was. I wasn't forced into it. I had a fallback plan: I wrote and sold a book, and used the proceeds to pay for a TEFL course. My plan was to go travelling as a TEFL teacher.

As it happens, I didn't need to do it. Just as I was planning on it, a role abroad came up, and once I adjusted to the idea of a 75% pay cut from what I was expecting, it was a very good move.

I wouldn't particularly wish the fate of being _forced_ to change countries on anyone, but it's not a bad thing. Mind you, I had no family, no dependents, nothing. And I now have the disposable income to visit ageing parent more often than I did from London.
Yeah, I'm struggling to think how far back we need to go before Obama to find another president under whose watch countries destabilized and blood was shed. Oh wait, what about the president right before that.
