Here's a counter-example. We accidentally fed formula with cow milk protein in the middle of the night once after switching to a different formula (it was the middle of the night, we were sleep deprived, the bottles looked the same in the dark, and we hadn't purged all the old formula yet). His symptoms returned immediately for a couple days until it cleared his system.

I know this is anecdata but seeing the immediate change and having a very easy experiment to test it with if the child is eating formula makes me question the study.
But not a disgusting remark like when you stated that 'the "genocide" of native Americans was a result of European diseases, not barbarism' in another thread and argued that evidence of deliberate killing was more like a "rounding error". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17023220 Not disgusting like that, right?

There is opportunity cost as well.

What if you don't it then a new startup comes, starts doing it and soon they run your business and become an enormous success. Soon, you end up selling your business and your employees are left jobless.

One problem with employees is that they think that the business is going to keep afloat no matter what.
It's an interesting ethics issue.

I'm sure there are people out there who would be more than happy to have their "job" be providing blood or other things like it. And I think it would probably benefit society as a whole for something like it.

But it does seem like it could very VERY easily go south really fast. And there are a lot of ethical issues with it (like a salaried-donator wouldn't be able to do anything to risk the health of that blood at any time, and would it be okay for someone to permanently change their body to better accommodate something like that? What about temporarily change their body?)
The military only has one goal, and that is to be as effective as possible. You can bet your house they have experimented with different modes of creating discipline.

Also the screaming happens mainly in basic training, as far as I understand.
True, but you cannot test a small helicopter inside an aircraft, can you?
It shows you never had to implement COM interfaces for Visual Basic Variant type via the IDispatch interface.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms2...

The way dynamic is implemented is exactly following the same idea using DynamicObject instead of IDispatch.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.dynamic.d...

And if you actually bother to read MSDN documentation, one of the use cases for dynamic was to simplify COM automation interop.

This is also a very good reminder of why discrimination takes a long time to defeat. The moment we legislate that we shouldn't discriminate by race, gender or religion the capital gained from all the advantages is skewed towards to the oppressors and the playing field is not leveled yet.

Rh disease is taught about in high school, and is one of the first things doctors check for. If a woman is of type negative blood, then she will likely have been told as a young girl that her children may be at risk depending on the father.

I guess what I’m saying is — rh disease is probably the most widely known and treated complication of pregnancy
I think it’s about a sense of freedom. Everything we do is monitored now. Look at a country like Denmark, where everyone is supposed to be happy. The level of surveillance for the sake of bettering society is at DDR level spy operations (just with letter steaming rooms replaced by Mongo databases etc and a consensus that if you don’t do anything wrong you don’t have anything to fear).
My sister tells me the Amish she's worked with use catnip tea. Catnip is a sedative in humans (as well as a digestive aid that may help with colic, apparently) and is probably safer than alcohol.
So there are few distinct elements to this, that we should think about independently.

A - Is this type of advertising scary? [Really all this post is about]

B - Did Russia try to change the election?

C - Did they succeed?

My thoughts:

A - It is to me.

B - As far as I understand, this is conclusively yes, based on the fact that multiple politicians have plead guilty to collaborating. [1]

C - I don't know. For me it's not about that.

How many IDEs have you used? Off the top of my head I’ve been a Borland, Jdeveloper, netbeans, eclipse, Xcode, Visual Studio.

None of these comes close JetBrains current offerings. They’re totally killing it at the moment. Certainly for typed languages at any rate.

A lot of C# devs I know prefer Rider to VS which tells a story I think.
But does not doing wrong, prevents you from going out of business?
What if you desperately need to sign a sketchy deal which helps you keep your business afloat and if you try finding some better way which does not exist, you end up losing your business.

I think what's good in market differs from what is good in general.
Those two are a different thing, you might want the market to accept your "good behavior" as default but that won't make it more profitable by default.
It should be possible, but might take a lot of effort. Smell-detecting dogs are trained from birth to 18 months and it takes another 6 months to specialize them on specific scent like diabetes. Small rodents could be trained too. In Harry Potter, Ron carried one in his breast pocket.
The funny thing is that you could almost classify most space missions as drones (or probes).
Interesting observation. Everyone who touched my Pixelbook had nothing but praise for keyboard. Especially those coming from a touchbar Macbook Pro. Most reviews I've liked the keyboard very much. The only weakness of the keyboard is the uneven backlight.
DADA actually sounds somewhat interesting. I think the art world is one that could genuinely benefit from Blockchain technology, if only the power consumption issue turns out to be practically solveable.
Ouch.

I think one way to think of this is, does a given field have any tools that, even if you disagreed with their values, you would still want access to? People who don't like the idea of natural selection, still want doctors to take into account the phenomenon of antibiotic-resistant infections in their treatment. People who dislike the values of the software industry, often still want access to computers to publish their essays, surf the internet, etc. People who dislike the analytic, anti-holistic orientation of the physical sciences, still want access to the technology made using that.

What is there in the social sciences that you would want access to, even if you did not share their values? I think we may live to see a day when there is something, but I'm not sure that right now there is (yet).
Why was she a manager?

People don't just want more money. They want to be important and powerful as well. If there's someone in your organisation that you want to keep, paying them more to stop them leaving won't work. They leave anyway, but with a higher salary to use as a bargaining chip for their next role. You have to give them more responsibility, and that usually means bringing people in under them.
I like the artist and the cover art but nothing illegal or particularly unethical took place here. The attitude of those stating otherwise is reflective of our time... break the law to impose some arbitrary and often misinformed notion of justice on the world

Tiny works great for agility demos, but I doubt that there would be much agility left once you add any amount of meaningful payload. A battery that lasts longer than a demo video take, sufficiently powered uplink (no convenient wifi or low-power cellular where they are going) and all those sensors for in-situ geological experiments. Because without that, all that jumping around would not get you any data that could not be acquired much easier and with more precision using a simple overhead laser scan. Oh, and much of Mars may not be paved, that little "jump drive" surely needs a reliable surface to push back against.
I am not sure why the above comment is getting downvotes but seems like a valid question to ask.

Peopleware - Read it and re-read it every year.
All it takes is to land on the side on one rock and it's over. I would say the chance is more like 98% over the span of a few years.
I don't have that illusion.

Logic errors are always bound to happen in any language.

Problem in C is that every single line of code is either unsafe or potentially UB, specially at -O3.

And yeah everyone can always assert it doesn't happen to them, but that assertion does not hold when working in teams or using third party code.

So it is already a big security improved if the attack space is largely reduced.

Also unsafe blocks aren't nothing specific to Rust. A few system programming languages since the 60's have them.
Counter-anecdote to OSX Docker: My OSX Docker experience was nothing short of painful. Anything CPU intensive brought the entire laptop to a crawl. When I went down to metal noticed at least a 10-15x performance improvement, due to the way XHyve does things with the disk (I think?). This may have changed recently, but I won't run Docker on OSX anymore unless I have to.
You are correct, for the most part! We'd always use team interpreting at things like conferences with non-stop speakers and very few breaks. As someone who actually did educational interpreting, there is a lot of downtime/student work time. So, one interpreter is usually appropriate in a setting like a bootcamp.
If anyone has AIAA paper access (or a workaround ;), they published a ton of details on their guidance, control, and avionics designs at the beginning of this year:

Yup, It is. Just heard they are near to introduce their own digital currency
Yep. Acting as if there was one monolithic black community position is extremely problematic.

> The debate leading up to passage of the laws in 1973 was fierce, exposing rifts within the community. Some black lawmakers dismissed Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's black allies as "palace pets." Others, like Brooklyn’s Vander L. Beatty, one of the top black legislators at the time, said the Rockefeller laws didn’t go far enough. He wanted the death penalty.[1]

It's also problematic to equate wanting tougher laws for dealers with wanting tougher laws for simple possession, or the heroin epidemic with the crack epidemic, or New York with America. There is a point to be made that we sometimes have too simplistic a narrative in our heads, but the solution isn't to replace it with another overly simplistic narrative.

I'd give it a qualified yes. Actually, I don't think "Chromebooks" is the right thing to ask about, that sounds like the physical hardware. That varies widely and can mostly run Linux, but that's not particularly special. We should ask if ChromeOS is ready for serious development.

There's definitely some types of development work that just won't ever be practical in any way on a ChromeOS device. Developing iOS apps, Windows GUI apps, etc. Sure you can remote into a MacOS or Windows machine, but I don't think that counts. Anything requiring massive CPU power or RAM probably won't work too well either.

There's also definitely plenty of ways of working productively that are very practical. Being remoted into a cloud IDE or SSH works fine. Not sure if that counts, but cloud work is the main idea of ChromeOS. You can install Linux side by side with Crouton, but going outside of ChromeOS seems beside the point. You can install something like Termux to get a pretty normal Linux interface without breaking ChromeOS security, but it does seem to have a couple of quirks.

I've been using the Termux method for a while for side projects, and I've mostly been pleasantly surprised. Ruby, Python, C, Go, and Rust all run just fine, as does Vim, Tmux, SSH, Git, etc. Even installing local DB servers for web apps to test against seems to work fine. I have run into a couple of snags with various Ruby gems that I haven't gotten around to sorting out yet. The community around the setup is decent, but maybe not as big as you'd really want for something you "seriously develop" on. You can certainly get most types of development work done on it though.
For those interested, look up The Kelly Criterion.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

This is why poker players who are good enough to play at a certain table level can't maintain it if their bankroll falls too low. At each stakes level the game not only gets harder, but the minimum bet can eat up your bankroll if you get large string of unplayable hands (let alone bad beats or bad plays). What ends up happening a lot is that players will win a significant amount of money at say the $5 table, then try to play the $10 table, and lose enough money they find themselves back at the $5 table. The really unlucky ones may end up back at the $2 table because they may not have moved back to $5 early enough to be able to bankroll that level properly.

I find the economics of poker to be completely fascinating, and when I found out about kelly betting from a HFT friend if mine, it really changed how I looked at the topic.

You need differential calculus in R^n, but there's no need for the full force of differential geometry. Also, I don't think that measure gains much in terms of understanding, but it certainly is needed to do some proofs the proper way.

I agree that cutting corners is something I would be super skeptical of in this degree. It should really be an offshoot of a mathematics program, not a CS program with the bare minimal mathematics included. It's end goal is probably PR, money grab, and pumping out students that are really attractive for doing analytics grunt work.
Yes I think it would be hard to build a functional model of the brain
I thought of something else that is not discussed often. There is a class of actors that can do good actions with bad ulterior motives.

For example in France we had a group of anti-muslim people provide free food to the homeless but the food had specifically pork in it.

Or linked to a recent HN story a vegan terrorist could infect himself with that tick that renders you allergic to meat and then go donate blood for saving children.
I think having a background in sociology, psychology, would be extremely good for ai researchers and anybody who needs to work with machine learning in general because ultimately those systems will have to interact with people, and a lot of those algorithms will have a huge impact on people’s lives, and you need to be sure that you aren’t encoding biases, etc that are going to harm people or unfairly exclude them.
Upcoming Wekan v1.00 and Platforms
We need a bunch here on Earth so we can get a fix in a reasonable time. But all the robots on Mars move extremely slowly and infrequently. i.e. it would be fine if the bot had to wait 12+ hours for a fix, they'd probably be waiting that long regularly anyways. And it probably doesn't need to be more accurate than 0.1-1 km either.

So could we deploy, say, the first three satellites that use a modified version of GPS at first that allows you to get a very slow, inaccurate fix, but a fix nonetheless?
That's no straw man, with a self segregated population you are going to see that reflected in schools without massive effort. Not sending kids on 1+ hour bus ride is going to mean some increase. It's up to you to say thouse buss rides are 'worth it' not just that removing them makes some arbitrary metric worse.
Only if a debate is had in good faith, does it have any hope of being something other than a waste of time. There’s a reason that scientists don’t debate flat earthers and young esrthers. Sometimes the debate acts only to legitimize a viewpoint which is beyond fringe, or provide cherry picking fodder for morons.

The sad truth of climate change is that debate is beside the point, it’s pure power dynamics. Massively rich and powerful entrenched interests simply don’t care about debate or consensus, they just want to keep profiting until the bitter end. They’re not really related to the keyboard warriors online who for ideological or psychological reasons want to endlesssly “debate” the issue.

We are reading different parts of the same article. The interviewee even stressed that the bill they supported was not the one they asked for.

“What is often missed, however, is that most of those black activists and politicians weren’t asking only for toughness. They were also demanding investment in their schools, better housing, jobs programs for young people, economic-stimulus packages, drug treatment on demand, and better access to healthcare. In the end, they wound up with police and prisons. To say that this was what black people wanted is misleading at best.”

Because they won't put in the effort to just pull up and post the customer lists of companies selling LISP commercially. ;)

http://www.lispworks.com/success-stories/index.html

https://franz.com/success/

The companies that use LISP don't talk about it much. I'm not saying secret weapon or anything either. I'm saying they seem to be among the set that just identifies something good for the business, buys/builds it, and solves business problems. They don't write articles about their programming language. What I will say is the small number of case studies on those two companies have much more interesting software than what's advertised for many stacks. The kinds of things people use it for corroborates the LISP advocates' claim it's a favorite for hardest, constantly-changing problems. It's more remarkable with Allegro since they charge royalties on top of the licensing with customers still buying their stuff.
The problem there is that the equivalent Haskell would dispatch statically, whereas this is dynamic dispatch in java

Same. XPS 13 with Ubuntu. It's not the worst laptop experience I've had but it's close.

The trackpad is a nightmare. The bluetooth adapter randomly dies and I'm forced to restart. About 10% of the time when I close the lid the laptop doesn't actually go to sleep, but instead gets extremely hot, which is worrying when I take it out of my bag only to realize the thing has run down the battery and nearly melted. The list of issues goes on and on.
Myth of Dying Programming Language and Framework
$35 seems to be 3x more cost than AWS's smallest tier (no further comparison of features/value beyond price), so it does seem expensive for an introductory project, considering a single $35~ Digital Ocean VPS might all some companies need their first year. On the other hand, the number of times I've seen an engineer suggest spending $500-$2000 in labor/hours (when already behind on mission critical work) as alternative to spending $5/month in some SaaS is just staggering.
I know! However, I'm not keeping my hopes up since I assume Netflix would want full exclusive rights to stream it forever if they were to fund it and it seems like the company that owns those rights Alcon Entertainment is unwilling to give that up.
I don’t have any stories to share, but it does seem to be a market to make something. It said there are over 500 million devices on w10. Someone has to be making a little cash.

I think colonialism was equally only a part of African poverty. As in the article linked, one of the opposing tribes in his area captured him and sold him into slavery, not Europeans. Niger was created by A Lincoln to repatriate slaves that wanted to return, and had plenty of support. Nigeria alone has been given more money in aid than what it cost to rebuild Europe after ww2. South African would never have had the 1st world development its had, had it not been for apartheid.

You can stop 100% of crimes with a 100% effective law enforcement mechanism. The term for that is authoritarian dystopia.

Our ancestors recognised this a long time ago, and recognised that there's an intrinsic balance between individual freedoms and the degree to which laws are enforced. We are shifting hard and fast to the extreme authoritarian end of that scale.
