It's probably a safe assumption that they use a similar style elsewhere though, so probably better to just change PHP version rather than edit the source files?

I could be wrong, (I'm a Python guy - not PHP), just seems a safe assumption that it's likely not the only spot.

Guys, the UCC isn't the only law that applies to the situation...

Ed might not have rights under the UCC, assuming it applied to the transaction, which is questionable since Ed does not appear to be a merchant. He would have rights under state laws that override the provisions of the UCC.

[Edit] Most states actually override this provision of the UCC to define entrusting narrowly. See, e.g, California's provision:

3) “Entrusting” includes any delivery and any acquiescence in retention of possession for the purpose of sale, obtaining offers to purchase, locating a buyer, or the like;  regardless of any condition expressed between the parties to the delivery or acquiescence and regardless of whether the procurement of the entrusting or the possessor's disposition of the goods have been such as to be larcenous under the criminal law.

> the ownership of your object (who is in charge of free-ing it) and the lifetime of the pointers that targets this object. (the whole ownership system & the borrow-checker)

Having to bear the cognitive burden of making the lifetime explicit in all of the code is a steep price to pay for the benefit of securing the small subset of the code that is actually complex enough to potentially cause a problem. I wouldn't mind having such a feature be optional though, so that you'd enable it for the most precarious parts, something like a safe{} block rather than unsafe{}.

> will this function mutate the value I give it. (&mut pointers)

We already have const. Yes I agree it's better to enable by default.
This might sound ignorant but I really don't get it. I realised a smart phone was eating up my time so I weened myself off a lot of social media and uninstalled a bunch of apps and haven't looked back. I use Signal and Whatsapp to talk to a few friends, listen to music and read the news. Thats about it.
Most US citizens are woefully ignorant of this perspective. Their ignorance precludes the irony from ever showing itself.
Why do people hold up the NY Times as such a great newspaper? There's been like 8 stories from them on here today, and it's the same repeated drivel they trot out every two or three weeks, on the same topics, and the same low-energy arguments. My flag button is wearing out.
Kudos for talking about this to strangers.

Ask your Dr for help and documentation. If asked by management why you didn't talk about it sooner perhaps stating you were trying hard to overcome it might help. It seems you honestly were. I'm in the U.S. and you can't be fired for a disability easily. They will want to cover themselves in case of a lawsuit, probably. This means you probably still have time to start working with your company to help you get back on track in a way that keeps your stress down and still makes you a productive employee for the company.

Just out of curiosity, have you considered an "emotional support dog"? I am seeing more people who have a dog with them at work for stress and support. I personally think that petting an animal lowers stress, at least for me.

I wish you the best. Mental health issues are tough. Kudos again for tackling being in a tough position.

In the other article you'd like to see refuted, you're mostly attacking windmills. I've led many UBI discussions, and never ever have I met a UBI proponent who said that people with medical needs should have their health insurance taken away and replaced by the same UBI amount healthy people get.

For other things you point out the solution yourself, like conservatorship, which exists.

Yet another point is the old "they will just drink booze all day and sit in front of the TV". Which is certainly true for some people, and empirically known to be false for others. Lots of people are rich enough to drop their job and switch to drinking and TV all day... yet we know that they don't.
I've participated in the NIPS "Learning to run" competition last year. It only computes motion in one direction (forward-backward, the model can't go left or right). What turned me off was the fact that object collision was handled poorly. You can't see a model that actually makes effort to avoid obstacles, instead all top solutions go through objects.
Fully agree. Having the option to split these three domains would make it a lot easier to have basically any directory structure for your projects and how it can be distibuted.

That doesn't actually change anything about the smartphone being a distraction machine. All the same apps, social networks, constant notifications, etc are still there. The fundamentals have nothing to do with "Google's proprietary crap" and everything to do with being an internet enabled distraction machine, which is true for all modern smartphone OSes.

I would certainly like to. The base implementation of Cannoli is the best place to continue this. Some optimizations that were implemented apply restrictions to parts of the language and following these any further would ultimately diverge from the Python project. That being said, many of the optimizations could still be done and "fall back" on unoptimized code at run time if needed. I think this project certainly shows a lot of promise, it just hasn't been developed as long as other projects so it still needs plenty of work :).

This is not the rise of the unprofitable company. The invention of compound interest was. Banks that engage in that business are not really profitable because they do not generate real value. What separates these silicon valley startups is that the state is not (yet) complicit in manipulating the numbers to make them look profitable.
Using Data Science to Help Predict Adverse Drug Reactions – News – WPI
> Get lost and have to stop/call for directions?

Why is, it in these type of questions, people always immediately go to the worst case scenario to try and prove their point? What about the average case: people again learn to plan their routes in advance, use their instincts, road signs, and if necessary, how to use a map.

You also assume you can't get lost using a GPS. All data has the potential to be stale. Maybe the route the gps took you is through a mountainous road where there is no signal. What happens when you come across an unfamiliar geographical feature and are unsure how to proceed, and now your gps cannot update your location? What if the location you are attemping to access is "net new" as in new roads? What if the location simply no longer exists and your mapping service has not been updated? In my experience, GPS is great for city driving with clear path to the sky (and >50% battery for any trip that is over an hour). Not so good in mountainous or remote locations. I imagine if we didn't rely on a computer telling us where something is, we would revert back to the default behavior of actually learning our surroundings, which has a host of other benefits that you never know would come in handy until they do.
And that’s not even considering the many white papers that are original work, but completely wrong. Many of them propose fundamentally incorrect and exploitable systems. But of course none of the papers are peer reviewed, so if the idea sounds cool to some armchair tech nerds on reddit, off to the races you go!

Want to see something truly scary? Pick a coin, any coin, that has had a major vulnerability discovered by researchers in a peer-reviewed publication. Then go onto that coin’s subreddit and watch in amazement as a bunch of security illiterate redditors bend over backwards to invalidate the paper’s claims with conspiratorial nonsense and cries of spreading FUD.

Blind loyalty is bad enough in meatspace. In the cryptocurrency realm, it’s simply dangerous.

The crazy thing is that any one of these coins could have a double-spending vulnerability, which by its very nature would likely be undiscoverable. There could very well be some clever hacker somewhere exploiting double spends and slowly bleeding money out of exchanges.
> So much of what you're talking about already exists.

Well, that's not a great example because people drive the speed that everyone else drives at, so the "rules" are implied because we're all doing it.

All this other stuff is about people looking for specific optimizations or ways to game the system that most people don't do.

It sort of exists. P.E. Software engineering like most of the other engineering branches use. Signing off on designs that require regulatory approval often requires a PE. In my first job in mechanical design etc. it was understood that I would get this as soon as I could.

However my understanding is that almost no one gets this in software and it’s being discontinued.
I think the 'mobile phone' form factor is the import point here. When I use a desktop or laptop computer, it's at least somewhat more intentional. But pulling out your phone is something you can do anywhere. So the ways in which it changes how your attention works are probably different.

It is not unheard of for people to collect money for people who don't exist. It used to be popular in the US to claim extra dependents on one's taxes. It might be going too far to present basic income as a totally foolproof program.

I don't think these Rhinos are bacteria, so they may not be comparable.

You object to calling them "phones" because they're not often used as phones, yet you want to call them "computers". What exactly do you compute with them?

We should all be honest and call them "trackers" or "distractors".
It is crazy to think of all the money spent on TSA that something like this could happen post-9/11 and post- failed shoe bomber. It shows that people and machines are still fallible.

I never hear about TSA thwarting terrorist attempts. Either they keep it under wraps or nobody is trying because they perceive the security to be too high. Or they get caught before they try. In any event, this incident seems like a careless mistake, but still scary nonetheless.
> which the system tries to maximize

How exactly the system is trying to maximize waste?

In fact, miners did more progress on efficiency in terms of pure hashrate/watt with a million time improvement in past 10 years, than banking industry ever.

It is demand, that is driving the energy usage, not the system on its own. I agree with the person above, that it is basically justified by increasing consumption of the service.
We aren't and the general media is absolutely not surprised. The reason why this article keeps on being rewritten by multiple people is the simple fact that it elicits the same response that you have just displayed. This is clickbait at its greatest level.
Basically the guy didn't take the bet and lost. It happens. You can't predict the future perfectly.

It's also important to remember that Apple was an also-ran among the huge number of companies that dipped their toes into the microprocessor market when it first appeared. Very few survived. Apple only barely survived. Their status as a market Juggernaut is a fairly recent change.

I went 2 weeks without a phone, gps, & online capabilities away from home due to breaking my old Moto X Pure and not having enough money to buy a phone. It was a great experience and now I'm trying to shift everything over to a dumb phone or even just a hotspot.

I didn't need GPS, I just looked up where to go before I left home or work and caught busses/trains that run every 10-15 minutes. If I absolutely needed online access quick I would stand outside of a starbucks or another restaurant/store I knew had WiFi and use my tablet or laptop. I purchased a $25 original Zune for off the grid FM and music. I learned quickly how to find & create alternatives to my phone and those 2 weeks were some of the best of my life.

I really noticed how our population always has it's head down with a total addiction to our phones. I felt isolated at Reddit group meeting where everyone would take 5 minutes to just check their notifications and everyone would have their heads down while I was just sitting there watching everyone and eating.
An even simpler and more effective solution would be to just stop voting for authoritarians. I don't think anything has served as a more consistent death knell for an American politician than being branded "soft on crime".

The NYT isn't a tech focused newspaper so the types of stories you see here are not representative of what gives them such a glowing reputation. This is an article out of their weekly magazine, it's not supposed to be hard news.
It has been a de facto free ad-supported streaming service for a while now, so this is nice.

Nice job. I've actually been looking for more places to hang out with the HN crowd.

I'm not sure about this approach though. Forums are too centralized and don't feel interactive enough. I'd much rather see a HN community on Matrix or something similar.
I am another one of those cases who hear "laurel" for most of the spectrum and something like "yelly" at the extreme right side.

After hearing "yelly" at the rightmost position of the slider I still hear "yelly" as it slides to the left, becoming "laurel" at about one third of the way. After that, as I slide back to the right, I do not hear "yelly" until the rightmost position.
I often think about ditching my smartphone. There are a few things that a smartphone puts in your pocket that really make our lives better:

nice camera/maps/gps/calling/texting/email/music and podcast streaming

Really, the negatives of having a computer in your pocket can be summed up by:

gaming/transactional purchases/social media/news media

None of those things inherently bad, but they do tend to be addictive.

So, maybe we need phones without app stores? A closed off phone with the apps already chosen for it? Where would we draw the line on what gets included on the phone? Would there even really be a market for this kind of smartphone? KaiOS is the only thing that comes close...but it still has an App Store to my knowledge.

It probably makes most sense to just delete the addictive apps off of your phone and move on with your life.

I bought my first smartphone a couple of months ago - always preferred small cheap dumb phones. They did fine for calling and texting, which was all I wanted.

But the world changed on me! I noticed that over time people were sending me longer and longer texts, and it was becoming difficult to communicate with thumb-button texting.

If things reverted to how they should be (anything over 5 words should be an email or a call, please) I would happily go back to a dumb phone.

There is probably an argument somewhere that a lack of real news is actually good news - there isn't a major crisis or surprising events to report on.
I don't disagree that they are useful, just that they must be carefully considered and applied in situations where appropriate — not treated as a law that applies to everybody, all the time.

The same thing is true for diets, exercise, self help, etc. Turns out humans are pretty complicated and there is almost never a single solution that works for everyone, all the time.

>PTSD depends on the mental strength of the individual.

People with PTSD don't have some kind of mental weakness. There's even evidence that many cases of PTSD are the results of undiagnosed brain trauma from IED detonations.

>A young women going into the Air Force

Yeah, for some people it's a good option. It's not a "great gig for kids" though in general--for the hundreds of thousands of people with PTSD and other job related injuries, it wasn't a great gig.

Something can't really simultaneously be described as both requiring tremendous personal sacrifice, and a great gig.
I'd notice there was a problem when I stopped receiving mail and my current card stopped working. Even then, even if they DID get the new card, I could report any subsequent transactions as fraudulent (honestly, my mail being redirected would be a much bigger issue to me than someone having access to my card, so that doesn't add much to the attack potential).

Also, at some point, it becomes infeasible enough (that someone would have redirected my mail, hijacked my phone number or managed to change it with the bank, triggered a call from my bank, and managed to line them all up so I hadn't noticed there was a problem) and more trouble than it's worth to be worried about it happening.
I agree with those, and to add some more: GPS/Maps. Uber and Lyft. Mobile concert and airline tickets are pretty nice to have too. (I don't have a printer anymore.)
How do you compare Elon Musk to Steve Jobs? I’m genuinely interested. In my mind, the first has built the biggest profit machine the world has ever seen. The latter is still experimenting and burning a lot of cash. Sure, both are quite charismatic.

I find it a bit peculiar of you to even entertain a thought of buying a $1000 device when, as you said, a feature phone can easily serve you. Because you can easily buy a $200 (or cheaper) smartphone that would serve you nice with addition of standard extras of camera and navigation. Of course if you don't care about those, more power to you.

I personally start to think that once my phone will break, that maybe I'll buy one of those 4G feature-ish phones with KaiOS like the new banana Nokia and a netbook or a smallest Chromebook. But I have small hope in Libre 5 project.
