Packing at least that much weight out a considerable distance of wilderness, knowing what land you're looking on and being able to contact the land owner, and having appropriate documentation in the event that you're stopped by police are essentially solved problems for anyone who hunts in the Rockies. I would think this is worth any additional inconvenience considering it's for a millionaire's buried treasure instead of a year's supply of an acquired taste in meat.

This is such an interesting problem. I don't see any of these people being suitable candidates, but if this detente is fully realized then you can't ignore it.

Consider for a second that Reagan wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize (Gorbachev was) for the peaceful end of the Cold War. I find the "Reagan Victory School" argument far more compelling than any argument for Trump in this case.

It will be interesting to see what the Nobel Committee decides.
Depends on how much the company's aiming to grow, and how many options they give. These companies have enough challenges and resources to make better offers than what you'd get at Google/Dropbox, if you believe in the growth potential.

Because C/C++ are systems languages. You can use a hammer for whatever you like, that doesn't make it the right tool for the job. If you want ease of implementation then I'd reckon you don't need Rust. Rust is for correctness and speed. This is why the comparison was made in the first place.

To address the heart of what you're getting at: I don't buy the fact that it took "10x" longer to read an XML file. I'll give you some amount of "longer" just by virtue of Rust's general strictness and lengthy semantics (like any systems language), but you can't just squash together your unfamiliarity with the language or its libraries and use that to determine the base line difficulty of implementation. To highlight this, consider a seasoned C# developer trying to read an XML file in python for the first time. It would probably take them "10x" longer in python too, and it won't be because the languages have different purposes/audiences or the languages' rules and conventions.

A few good practical tips in this blog post.

I definitely agree with a simple linear model doing 80% of the work and letting skilled people handle the complex cases manually.
That's really good information. I've stopped trusting Rotten Tomatoes not a long time ago. To be honest, I have stopped taking any "average" ratings for anything. At one point, I trusted those ratings for everything related to entertainment: movies, games, touristic places. But the truth is that the ones affected by reviews, that have power to influence it, will skew the perception, interpretation, and numbers of those reviews.
Yeah, not sure I understand the criticism here. This program also has a bug.

fn main() {
let a = 3;
assert(a == 2, "a should definitely be 2");
}

Rust doesn't mean no bugs ever, and it doesn't mean no crashes. It protects you from a very specific class of severe bugs, and it has a pretty good set of built-in primitives to help you write bug-free code in the other classes. No more, no less.

If N.Korea liberalized its economy private capital will do wonders, from everywhere in the world. The costs of the bureaucrats to create passports and the sort is negligible. It would be different if the government wanted to build schools, cities, buildings and the such, but that is an option not a necessity.

In principle, I would not make the government pay for anything significant and it would sort itself out.
> Answering questions is a really really challenging thing to do because for all sorts of things you'd get kicked out.

You're not going to get kicked out if you honestly try to answer questions.
My experience would disagree with this. Features like enums, traits and newtypes make it easy to encode a lot more of your programs invariants statically, and in ways which naturally fit the problem domain (as opposed to Java where I often feel like I'm trying to squash my structure into a class hierachy which it doesn't really fit).

In addition the explicit error handling (together with enum error types) allow the compiler to check that you have handled every error case.

Rust has enabled me to write programs that just don't contain bugs (after an initial testing period). This is certainly acheivable with other languages, but it involves a lot of discipline, writing tests, etc. Rust makes it easy.

Problem with that is now you have people who can't afford to pay that tax, because they're the people who bought when housing was inexpensive, not because they're rich. Taxing those people out of their homes is not the answer either.

What are the economic implications of a possible/eventual/inevitable reunification scenario that just become a bit more realistic? South Korea is already an economic powerhouse in its own right. I'm wondering more from the point of view of an investor - the public markets don't appear to be particularly swayed by the prospects, probably because the scenario is still farfetched and decades away, if possible.

What Are Tooltips and Why Should You Use Them
In between the sheets .. by, Evon Latrail
I went to the website the article linked to where it said that anyone could download it for free. You can't download it without the product key.

Is it overreach by Microsoft - yes. But did he download the product with his license key and distribute it?

There is a lot of closed source software that you can get for free but you aren't allowed to distribute. The first time I encountered the issue was back in 1996. I downloaded a bunch of internet tools and placed them on a public folder for customers to use of an ISP I did Mac support for (Netscape, MacTCP, etc.). I was told I couldn't do that.
Oh come now, anyone who's worked with C or C++ knows there's a million pitfalls in porting code across platforms.

Heck, C doesn't even guarantee that a byte is exactly 8 bits.

The point I was making is that I was able to do this without a single ifdef/platform specific code without even planning for it(since it was the first time I'd cross-compiled for more than one other platform). While that's common in the VM language space seeing that in a compiled language was refreshing.

>If all the people are already on the West Coast what incentive is there to encourage relocation away from the West Coast as opposed to the continual brain drain from the rest of the country out to the West Coast?

Well, it's not true that "all the people are already on the West Coast", but even if it were, YC might awaken to the obvious truth that rapid population growth in west coast cities is not sustainable for much longer. Then, as a forward-looking, long-term thinking company, they might see fit to establish footprints in some of the less crowded, less expensive inland cities before someone else beats them to it.

Personally, I don't understand why people who have skills that are marketable in virtually any city in the first world choose to live with roommates in crappy century-old homes or tiny apartments in a handful of coastal cities. To each their own, I guess.

But i'm interested to read the story of this fork because the practicioner-focused redis book this guy wrote is one of the best software-related texts i've read in the past 7 - 8 years. ("Statistical Rethinking" by Richard McElreath, and "The Art of SQL" by Stephane Faroult are two others that had the same impact)

Those are the same militias which are protected in the second amendment. Their original purpose was "killing indians".

False. The original purpose, predating even the government and the constitution, was to fight off armed oppression in the form of Hessian mercenaries and British soldiers.

It's also interesting to see the hidden connections between America's passion for home ownership, its obsession with guns, and its racism.

Gun Control was partly started by racist southern politicians who were horrified by the thought that black citizens would have the right to own firearms.

> But that doesn't explain why I can't add two `String`s together using +.

Because that would consume both Strings, which doesn't make sense. The impl that exists only consumes the left string, reusing its buffer.

This seems like an odd thing to complain about since if you try it the compiler will tell you exactly what you should do instead.
why not just submit patches to redis, it feels like something a lot of people would benefit from.
Is that your considered opinion as a legal expert on these matters?

Since proposition 69 (2004), and recently upheld by the Calfornia Supreme Court, California is taking and holding indefinitely DNA for everyone arrested for a felony, even if they're never charged or convicted:

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-dna-supreme-cour...

So they get already get 'free look' (no warrant required) at the DNA of anyone alive, via an arrest, even if the charges are ultimately unsupportable. Do you expect a stronger protection would apply against stored records?

Further, the newborn blood spots are already in government custody. There's no essential requirement for any private 3rd party to produce them, against the holder's wishes. Why wouldn't a detective/prosecutor, perhaps emboldened by public opinion or some new Prop-69-like policy, to consider these blood spots 'abandoned' DNA, just like that acquired from this 'Golden State Killer' suspect after surveillance but without a specific warrant?

Is it unlikely that law enforcement would ever get a 'warrant to modern-sequence-all-the-spots', to solve some particularly heinous crime, then retain the data indefinitely, as they already do for other incidental collections? Sure, that sounds to me like a 'general warrant' that should be prohibited by the 4th amendment. But government keeps seeking – and often winning in court! – ever-broader database warrants. (See for example https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/06/1...)

Even the ~80 yes/no genetic disorders automatically tested for, and thus possibly kept in a digital database afterwards, might be enough 'bits' to narrowly pick a few suspects, or uniquely identify a single suspect, in some cases. Would the CA DOJ need a warrant to have a friend at the CA DPH run a SQL query on a database that may already be online?

Can you find any statement from the California Department of Publish Health that they would only release blood spot data to law enforcement with a warrant?

Because those Rust Belt cities don't have anywhere near what the coastal cities have, namely a plethora of tech jobs or a startup scene that produces highly successful companies, or a VC network that will just throw money at you.

Get YCombinator to open a branch in Toledo, and you might see that start to change. But currently, most people aren't rushing to go back to the Rust Belt because, while they might get one job, if they get fired/laid off/the company goes under/the management is abusive, there isn't much in the way of alternatives.

Oftentimes I try to look for the fairness of the presentation of issues. Bias is unavoidable, and most articles will include some degree of interpretation of the information. NPR, and even far more strongly opinionated publications like the Economist, at least give a generally accurate representation of both sides of an issue. This type of journalism is exceptionally far removed from the Brietbarts and Huffington Posts of the world.
So did they completely remove it, so you have to find an archive site to read the original mostly-accurate story?

Wow, both archive.org and archive.is' oldest snapshots are of a notice that the story is hidden pending editorial review. NPR may have purged this from the Internet pretty darn well.

Makes me wonder who really called them about it.

EDIT: rightos managed to find the original story on the archive.is page from another website: https://archive.is/QxQtZ

Generally a retraction is in the form of a note that the top, not attempting to purge a story from existence over a minor technicality.

I think the difference between Trump and most other politicians is not the level of BS, but that he's always winking. I've often heard that his supporters don't take him literally, but take him seriously, and his haters take him literally, but not seriously. I think there's a lot of truth to that, and despite the carpet bombing of propaganda and hatred from the MSM won't be able to cover up forever that he's accomplished some good things.

I think your argument is trailing off into absurdity here.

I disagree, the dictionary definition is:

> an inclination of temperament or outlook; especially : a personal and sometimes unreasoned judgment : prejudice

And

> systematic error introduced into sampling or testing by selecting or encouraging one outcome or answer over others

The first one implies falsehood. In that the data itself is prejudiced.

The second one is manipulative of the truth. Which you could argue also makes it false, since you have a falsely representative sample, where you claim not too. Thus you are lying to the reader, because you know things you don't want to tell me, since they would change the outcome, and disprove your prejudice.

So I feel your statement is only true, in that you can claim all samples, even massive ones, are naturally biased, and only an omnipotent creature that would know 100% of all the variables could be unbiased.

But that seems counter productive to me. We're not looking for absolute truth, but statical truthyness.

If an editorial presents all the data the author is aware of. And the author did reasonable due diligence to find most of the data availaible on the matter. Then its a truthful and unbiased editorial. Which allows you to make your own conclusions.

Saying all editorial is biased is dismissive, and it enforces the notion that, you'll never know the truth, thus just keep believing in your prejudice, they're as good as anytjing else. Which is false, statically, your prejudice is less likely to be true.

The only thing keeping me around at this point is Twitch Prime; that's half of the Prime cost right there that I actually would be spending otherwise. But I certainly agree; there are often better online shopping options, the product quality has declined tremendously, and I find myself valuing 2-day shipping less and less.

The one thing that I do still enjoy is the simplicity of most of my online shopping occurring at one place. Looking through old orders is surprisingly useful; you can easily see how long an item has lasted, be it consumables or to assess durability/quality.

I could see value in a service that scrapes your inbox and records confirmation/shipping email information for you to try to recreate that.

- Do you think the grades are an accurate representation of a company?

- If a company has a very low score, do you automatically discredit them, or do you take it with a grain of salt?

- Do you hold their rating system in high regard?
