A perfect world according to product50:

A terrorist takes a hostage, and a cop asks the terrorist not to kill the hostage and allows the terrorist to keep causing terror insofar as it doesn't involve killing hostages, and the terrorist doesn't kill the hostage, and the hostage is grateful with the terrorist for not having killed him even when he is kept hostage.
I don't think you can start that spam protection phone company, unless you only allow your customers to receive calls from other customers. As soon as you allow calls to originate from any other phone company you have to trust the other company and they are not doing verification.

You might be able to do a trace origin on all incoming calls, but I don't know how far that gets to figure out who the spammer is.
Ask HN: Starting a corporate youth mentoring program?
I'm interested in starting a mentoring program on my companies dime. Think big brothers big sisters. Every kid should experience what it feels like to have a parent/grandparent smile at them, and a lot of kids never receive that. I'm thinking something where I reach out to the local District Attorney, other local mentoring programs, etc and find at-risk youth with an interest in technology and have them join me on-site for a day. I've all the connections to make this happen but I'm looking for a general structure or similar programs to make this rewarding for everyone involved.

Has anyone had experience with such a program? Any ideas or past experiences that might help me flush out a few details before I start bugging everyone in my company?

I was indeed misinformed. Reading several news articles, not one mention that all that was left of his brain was water and spinal fluid. I only see that in the court transcripts, and that assessment was done from brain scans over several months.

Given this new evidence, I change my opinion on this: the state-run healthcare did offer the best advice.

(The question of state-run medical systems restricting freedom still applies here, even though the freedom would simply have been different end-of-life care.)
> The C++ front-end now has experimental support for some parts of the upcoming C++2a draft, with the -std=c++2a and -std=gnu++2a options, and the libstdc++ library has some further C++17 and C++2a draft library features implemented too.

Wow, did they finish C++17 support already?
I found it kind of funny to see the link lead to Buzzfeed. When it comes to trustworthiness in news I'd rank them slightly above Info Wars.
Is it better on the Surface Book than a regular Surface with a touch cover? Because I have the latter, and it is not even in the same ballpark. I just plug a mouse in when I use my Surface.
This is true but python's relative slowness (along with the GIL) is an issue that is regularly blown out of all proportion.

Part of the reason for the language's success is because it made intelligent tradeoffs that often went against the grain of the opinions of the commentariat and focused on its strengths rather than pandering to the kinds of people who write language performance comparison blog posts.

If speed were of primary importance then PyPy would be a lot more popular.
React-Native for WPF already exists. Same repro as React Native for UWP.
And the iPhone exists to get people to use more Apple products and services. Vendor lock-in isn't the same thing as data harvesting. Those companies may very well be collecting your data but your statement doesn't prove it.
There really can't be, since people leadership becomes more and more required as you go up.

But if you can handle the amount needed, you can still rise. Just seems to be a lot slower and harder to rise as an IC.
Wow, 10x price increase or more for just about everything.
We are replacing ISPs in NYC for our members. This is now, not the future. The main thing holding us back is scaling up the number of installs.

All networks, including us, add to this expensive infrastructure. The difference with our infrastructure is it is owned and shared by members.

Each country in the EU has its own health care system, but in most senses they are regulated EU wide, and reciprocate with each other - if a French person needs urgent care in Italy, he will get it, and the distinct single payer systems will do the accounting. Said French person can also legally move to Italy, and will be covered by Italian single payer system from day one.

The EU has only one medical "FDA"-like authority, which is - in fact - a huge problem for the UK post Brexit because they have to set one up for themselves now.

The EU has, effectively, a EU-wide health care system. It is more federated than the US, by virtue of only recently become a union. It is also less uniform because of different history, tradition, and languages. These are things that make it harder to build than a US-wide, and yet, it works and is significantly more efficient than the US, while catering to more people.

Of course the existing US-wide health care system is not equivalent; it is dysfunctional. You claim, but fail to demonstrate, that a functional one cannot be built, despite example in the EU that faces harder objective conditions.

luckily these problems actually do get addressed slowly via AoT/Graal and Substrate VM.

Here comparing a simple hello world program one is written in java and uses Substrate VM to create a binary and compare it with python:

$ time ./hello.py
hello world!

$ time ./hello.main
hello world!

of course the comparsion is unfair
Facebook? Instagram? Airbnb? We're talking about some of the most popular apps in the world. What exactly is your problem with them?
No whistleblowing?
I still think when handled correctly seniority is the best incentive to reward correct decision making. The problem arises in the (quite frequent) circumstance where people who get to positions of power aren’t there because they have the best guidance / deepest expertise. This is an issue with implementation, not a fault of heirarchy.

I think I’m the domain of the article, design, the guy who is creative director / dept head generally is a good candidate for arbitrating a design or product dispute in companies that promote leaders effectively.

Not really a fair comparison given the other 3/4 have to do all their parsing and compiling. Unless in those 2ms you include compilation time. Or use tcc -run.
By your comment then we should get rid of social security and Medicare as well, would you agree?
If Google knows that success in programming competitions is negatively correlated with job performance, then why Google organizes codejam and invites participants with good results to a job interview? Also as mentioned above Google interview questions looks like problems from programmings competitions.
I'm still assuming it's been less then the 4 years since FreeBSD support was brought up and the 7 years since Windows support was brought up on Travis CI's issue tracker. But either way nice work.
Not "community owned" per say, but Facebook has deployed a Mesh network in DT San Jose called Terragraph.
Most startups fall into one of two categories, either they have the financial side covered or they have the technical side covered, they hardly ever have both.

The financial people need contractors, but they have no clue how to find a decent, honest one, and even if they luck out and find one, they don't know how to work with one. Either way, contractors get a bad rep.

I've seen some horrible ones who honestly deserve a bad reputation and more, but I've also seen some really good ones get a bad reputation due to impossible deadlines, poor or no specification or thrashing due to changing the specification of what should be delivered several times a week.
Social security age keeps on rising as baby boomers retire.

Fermi was right. We’ll eventually destroy ourselves before we find another intelligent civilization. May be the great filter is that no one in the universe got healthcare right and they vanished. /s
On Sexual Deprivation, Sex Workers, “Incels,” and Violence – Slog – The Stranger
I'm just about to graduate from a top 10 computer science program myself so I can say that I've been in your shoes.

The first year adds a lot of pressure and challenge because of the transition to higher-level academics. In fact I often failed my own expectations (and literally failed a couple times too) at the beginning of my collegiate academic career.

I can assure you that if you start to take stimulants without a prescription or diagnosis as early as your first year, your situation will not improve. 3rd and 4th year classes are harder than intro classes or 2nd year classes, and stimulants will not change your mindset, approaches to studying,
or priorities in a way that will accommodate you for higher difficulty courses.

You need to take a huge step back from academics and look at what is affecting your performance. Summer vacations and even internships are the best times for that because the stakes are not as high so you have time to reflect on who you are and what you want out of life.

In my first year summer, after a brutally tough semester, I worked a full-time + daily overtime job at a backalley convenience store in downtown Seattle to discover "my bottom line". I wanted to see the kind of life I would lead if I didn't get my act together. Looking back, I was exceedingly hard on myself. But that summer I learned a few things: 1) I never want to be so poor that I can't buy daily essentials, 2) I never want to fall prey to addiction, 3) I want to fall in love with my work so I never have to actually "work hard" ever again, 4) I need to develop strategies to get my behavior together so I can follow through on all these ideals.

When I came back to school, although the transition wasn't immediate I completely changed my lifestyles and approach to college. I went from being a sub-2.0 student to mostly consistently receiving grades in the high 3's.

I also developed actionable strategies to be more diligent about my work and treat myself with more care. You have to eat right, sleep right, and know your brain and yourself if you expect to succeed. Truthfully, although I was diagnosed with ADHD in 11th grade, I have done mostly fine without stimulants because of the ways in which I live my life (it can't be denied that some people definitely need them).

Feel free to PM me if you need any help or advice on figuring things out. I always like to provide assistance where I can.

Yeah, but before we say anything we should look the the performance and memory benchmarks.
This is a really good crash course into operating a Redshift cluster. It has a few things missing, but overall covers most the things you'll run into on a day-to-day basis.

After several years of operating a cluster, the two biggest headaches I ran into are WLM tuning and text-heavy data. If you're not having problems with WLM/query response time and you're not using Redshift for text-heavy datasets, cluster management is generally pretty easy and straightforward.

Once your usage grows enough you actually need to pay attention to it, WLM becomes a bit of black magic voodoo dancing to find an effective WLM policy combined with a bit of utilization monitoring to know when to perform your next WLM voodoo ritual.

And Redshift is incredibly handy when you need to perform SQL queries over generally-free-text data. But there are a lot of catches if you do, all the way from having to be careful of Redshift's assumptions on data you're importing to unintuitive error messages if you run up against some internal limitations during a SQL query.
There's also the "Eugenics" angle here too. :(

If Facebook gains access to people's medical data (as Google definitely has), they could literally use this "dating feature" as a high level population breeding program.

With the level of ethics they've displayed so far - practically none - it wouldn't be super surprising to find them doing it. :/
Your complaints resonant strongly with me.

I'd really love an ideally typed expression-oriented language to take notebook programming to the next level ... This is my dream for what I want from swift notebooks ...

Something that:

- memoized all (non-loop?) values created in the notebook file scope

- automatically invalidated memoized entries after source change using control flow analysis and code coverage data from previous runs

- provides an approximation of the conceptual model of re-running the whole notebook 'from the beginning' when the notebook is executed -- but pulls memoized values from the memoized cache when present to make execution fast and to avoid repeating side-effects

- allowed for easy to issue interactive 'invalidate all memoized entries before/after here' operations in the notebook file ...

- involving editing code normally in a regular source-file in ide (with maybe a different extension to imply the different execution semantics)

- allowed for execution of code in debugger when desired without having to change anything ...

- supported inline graphical representations

- supported wiring custom graphical ui models into the notebook's execution context ...
My take is that most people don't know what the hell they're doing most of the time. We're all trying to figure it out. When I was 20 I was copy-pasting the hell out of Rails examples. By being curious and actively incorporating ideas I've come across I've begun (15 years later) to have opinions on things in software development. Am I ever going to be a kernel contributor, or figure out implement compiler optimizations? Unlikely. But I love my job and the people around me support my continued education (in docker and everything else). That's all you can ask for.

This would be amazing if it works.

The reason I say "if" and hedge my words is because the conventional wisdom is that autism is not a single disorder with a single underlying condition. It is a cluster of symptoms of varying intensity and it is (likely) caused by a host of underlying conditions.

Two children diagnosed with the disorder can have no overlapping symptoms.

If that is right, then the first step is to break it down into different kinds of conditions. (No eye contact is caused by X. Speech issues are caused by Y).

However, if this test can effectively pick apart one of the underlying conditions and its symptoms that would be a huge step forward. We could definitively say whether a child has this particular version of "autism".

After we tease apart a few more versions, the original condition will disappear and be subsumed by these other versions.

I mean, do you realize that most of the big names on that list have a hybrid solution where they prove concepts, A/B test, and rapidly iterate-on/release new features using React Native, and then they have a native dev team for each platform that goes back and re-implements most of the core features natively?
I thought wifi couldn't go through water? (Or is rain just so sparse/diluted that it doesn't really affect it?)
When a machine can explain what it's doing and how it has reached the decision to do it that way, then maybe it understands what it's doing.
Yeah, RSS feeds are definitely on my mind as well.
Aren't mesh networks higher risk for security? My initial reaction is that while ISPs collect a lot of information about you a mesh network allows an unknown amount of hostile actors to collect information (unless it's set up like Tor, but that has issues too).

At least with the standard ISP model there is some accountability and privacy rules could be implemented/enforced.

Edit: I think I might have been misunderstanding what mesh network was referring to - this looks like a wireless access point?
I understand that. What exactly do you want to change at the kernel level?
Any ideas where flights are cost prohibitive?
It might be because most of the initial bloggers were developers or at least had fair bit of technical knowledge. They wanted more control of both, data and UI.

Personally, and I know several people who choose to self host various blogging softwares mainly because they didn't trust 3rd party with their data. Who knows if they will vanish overnight or hold your data hostage.
go talk to your instructors about the course work. It sounds like you're banging your head on the wall in silence. They are there to teach you, not just lecture at you.

If they pull some sort of weed-out classes bullshit explanation, learn to get respectfully angry and demand your due as a student. You're there to learn, they should not be preventing you from doing that by not doing their own job well enough.
I would greatly appreciate it if you kindly give me some short feedback and your first impressions: is it clear what about is this website from the first sight? Does it look useful tool for you?

If one needs Rust, C/C++ level of performance I doubt there is much Python can do and one can wonder if Python was ever the right tool for such a project.
You're conflating two kinds of "performance", startup latency and steady state throughput. We're talking about the former, and you're proposing improvements for the latter. In fact, moving to pypy is exactly what you shouldn't do to improve startup.

It's surprising but frequently true that startup latency has a greater effect on the perception of performance than actual throughput. Nobody likes to type a command and then be kept waiting, even if the started program could in principle demonstrate amazing feats of computation once warmed up.
I think you are onto to something big! WOW, impressive.
If you turn on WiFi debugging the install can be untethered.
yeah, if we're talking about RAM, there is still a significant difference in MB per second write ability for something like DDR4-3200 vs even the best NVME pci-express flash-based SSDs.
It works for almost everything I try to find. It might take a few tries, but I can usually find the mail I was looking for.

Usually when I change jobs I have had another non Gmail account but I have never found the search as good.
I have an outlook web client at work and that doesn't find things. Maybe its me being dumb and remembering different phrases from what is actually stored, but I almost always manage to finds what i am looking for in Gmail. I can't say the same with other clients.

Its just a pity that I have to give up my privacy to Google for it.
The next step has arrived already. I never used to get voicemails from phone spammers before, but now I'm getting voicemails in Chinese from what's apparently the "Chinese Embassy Scam":

https://www.thebaycitybeacon.com/politics/beware-of-the-chin...

I'm not Chinese, so I'm definitely not being personally targeted by the scam. But apparently, there are enough Chinese speakers in NYC to make randomly calling people and leaving voicemails in Chinese a viable form of crime. (I've also had the same cell number for 17 years, so I know it hasn't been recently owned by a Chinese person.)

Kind of hard to compare apples to apples, there was a pretty steep minimum on previous contracts, I'd imagine that high volume users could negotiate volume discounts beyond those listed.

At least this way there's not a huge cliff between the free product and a contract for larger volumes.
