Not sure, but I don't think any would qualify as fundamental denial. Just questions about some specifics, details, and their evidence etc..

I mean, nothing that would be relevant to the question at hand, in my opinion.

Because the topic still is as linked above, and subsumed in this simple proposition: The genome varies from cell to cell.

Great. What a discovery! More news at 11!

Or is someone seriously arguing that genetic mutation is not universal knowledge?

(Excluding "flat-earth" level stuff, but I would assume that as given on HN. Maybe I am wrong again)
hmm Cell phones in everyone pocket, Echo / Home Devices, etc etc etc

Keep believing the government has no access to this data..
Seattle, actually. It's not so much the specific numbers I was talking about - that's just the range which works for me - but the idea that more money can be less valuable, because the time and energy cost of acquiring the money diminishes your ability to make use of it.

I have typically chosen to live with housemates regardless of salary, because otherwise home just feels sort of empty and dead, and it's a lot of work trying to organize all one's own social hosting single-handed.
I still have the Mason book, can see it in my shelf in front of me!
The Guardian has always been a newspaper with politics most closely aligned with the Lib Dems. In the past, this meant that they were left of Labour. Labour has shifted waaay to the left[1][2], past the Lib Dems and past the Guardian, so the Guardian no longer finds themselves in political alignment with Labour. I don't think the Guardian have changed their political stance substantially.

Claude Shannon authored Shannon's Juggling Theorem, and built juggling robots. I gave some links elsewhere in this thread.

My father-in-law knew worked with Shannon at Bell Labs, and then MIT. (Among other projects, they made useless machines[1].) One day Shannon rode in on a unicycle. "I don't know you could do that", Marvin said. "I just learned." "How long did it take you?" Shannon: "Only about twenty minutes of practice. But it took three months to get that twenty minutes."

Back to juggling: In addition to the other advice here, I recommend balls that don't bounce (or, balled-up socks), and stand over a bed so you don't have to chase the balls when you drop them. Then you can get your twenty (or thirty, or sixty) minutes of actual practice, in closer to twenty minutes (or thirty, or an hour).

Also, like many motor skills (sports, music), ten minutes of practice six days a week trumps an hour of practice once a week, especially if you're getting decent sleep in between.

Some portion of that money goes to things like missions and charitable work within the community though I haven't seen good figures on how much.
The question is found on all health insurance applications as far as I'm aware -- "Have you used tobacco in the past 6 months".

I'm under the impression that the question is not optional and that it's perfectly legal for insurers to price discriminate based on the answer to it (understandably and justifiably so IMO). I'm not sure, but I'd also assume that being dishonest when answering the question would technically put you at risk of having claims denied on that basis -- or, at the very least, having your rates raised retroactively since it presumably would indicate that you belong in a higher risk (and premium) pool...

Is my layman's understanding wrong?
Which article does it violate and how?
First, they aren't directly contributing to it. They are indirectly.

Also, depending on charity from global corporations to solve local community issues is not a great strategy.

The big tech companies do contribute tax dollars to public organizations whose job it is to solve matters of local public health and safety (i.e. homelessness). They're called state and local governments. Could they be the ones dropping the ball here?
I don't see anything in the post you're responding to that would constitute a search (or seizure), but simply an identification, which by itself does not meet the requirements for probable cause, and is unlikely to meet the reasonableness criteria.

By analogy, if a police officer has an excellent facial memory and they recognize someone, can they use their memory to influence their actions towards the person?

> You've elided some cases, which I'm guessing don't fit Python's assert so well.

I didn't get what it meant, so I couldn't really try to translate something I couldn't understand.

> It was defined by a Common Lisp user (me), just some 50-line macro that can be extended at will, to fit whatever clauses I would like it to support, in any way I see fit.

I understood that after looking it up on google and finding nothing. Which is one of the reason I dislike DSL. Usually their specs resides in the head of their dev, with the unit tests.

> I hope you can see my point more clearly

I do, it's just not the point of the author. You can make lisp whatever you want, but the basic syntax has similarities that are helpful for a transition. I don't see why this bother you. Nobody try to limit the quality of lisp.

Oh it's on my list with Erlang, Haskell and Prolog. Next to the list of books to read, food to try and habits to drop.

And you too.
What does that mean? How is it different than Google being an Internet-wide bug bounty?
They can't. They can attempt to block access to the EU market in a situation where they require a break-up of Facebook and Facebook refuses to comply. It would require the EU to implement a draconian Chinese firewall to bring into full effect.

The EU is 250m of Facebook's 2.2 billion users. They could easily drop all EU business if they needed to (the business operations within the EU is the easiest aspect for the EU regulators to target). Their profitability would drop from ~$23 billion for 2018 to $19 billion or so at worst. That'd be made-up for with one year of growth. Once Facebook's business operations in the EU are shut down, Facebook could continue to operate the user accounts and leave it to the EU to attempt to censor what their population is allowed to access online.

Watching the EU attempt to install Chinese style repression and censorship to limit what its people can access online, would be quite the comical circus.

scsh was definitely awesome, and it's not really practical in Common Lisp[0], due to Lisp's unfortunate choice to upcase all symbols. Made sense at the time, but in retrospect I think it was a mistake.

Assuming you already have a fairly well-defined set of values and a personal philosophy, the next most useful genre by far is psychology. It's not even a close contest.

As for self-help/attitude improvement, it's only useless if you don't already know what science suggests are good habits and behaviors. From there, it's the process of integrating those into your life that becomes critical.

Speaking as someone who chronically lacked discipline, which then translated into a lot of mistakes, among the most important things a person can understand is the value of positive habits and behaviors, compounded over a long time period. Habits and behaviors are what drive wellbeing across a variety of different dimensions: diet, exercise, learning, growth, experience, socialization, etc. They are the principal foundation of a happy life, and most people never even come close to appreciating their full importance.

All that said, I'll be the first to admit that the self-help genre is typically more about dopamine hits and quick sales than real results.

A classic that hasn't been mentioned yet is Doug Norman's "The Design of Everyday Things". My main takeaway 10 years after reading it is that a bad user experience, even one so subtle that the user doesn't notice, can usually be prevented by careful design.

I don’t disagree with you.

My point isn’t that pervasive surveillance is great. It’s that if you’re allowed to have cameras everywhere, why would you limit useful processing of the data?

How do you regulate it? If you can’t hire Amazon to do LPR or facial recognition, can you pay a guy to recognize people walking down the street and note their patterns? Do you license/permit camera placement?
Not everyone is a saint like you, I guess..

I agree in theory, but I would like to hear some justification why other comments, even if unrelated, get downvoted as well then.
> Oh, you mean like how you have rvalues, lvalues, xvalues, glvalues and prvalues[1]. In Rust you have value, ref and mut ref.

That is not a reasonable comparison and you know it. rvalues & lvalues are the only things in C++ that you ever care about in the slightest unless you're writing a compiler, and if you're writing a compiler then Rust has things like xvalues, too (how do you think the Drop trait works?)
It depends, I guess. If what you're talking about is a disagreement between two parties about the object of the contract or its conditions, I don't see why you couldn't resolve it the same way you would with a paper contract. I don't know if any country's definition of contract is broad enough to include smart contracts, but you could possibly bring this to court, perhaps?

If the two parties can agree on a new stipulation of the (smart) contract, a new contract can be issued.

As an aside, this is painful, as a smart contract's address will usually be linked to some user facing application or just your own wallet.

A way to facilitate this is through the use of a proxy contract, which is a contract that exists only to forward instructions to a secondary contract (the main one). The main contract can then do whatever is meant to do.

Now if there is a disagreement or a bug, after an agreement is reached, you can deploy your new contract, change the address on the proxy contract and you're done.
>>Maybe we can build that world instead of assuming the end-result is 1984 every time.

The Key difference between the 2 is Resource Limitation.

Star Trek is not possible while we have limited resources, invent replicator tech then you might have the ability to create a Star Trek society, no replicators no Star Trek
Thank you for saying it, cannot agree more. Premature derivation of abstractions so often leads to code that is later difficult to modify and understand and leads to a vicious circle of adding more abstraction and complexity.
I recently read and enjoyed Orlando by Virginia Woolf. It tells the story of an English nobleman who lives for hundreds of years and accumulates a bunch of experiences. To me, its main point is about the fluidity of identity and what it means to age (or not). It's also just a fun and funny centuries-spanning story full of great sentences like these

"Memory is the seamstress, and a capricious one at that. Memory runs her needle in and out, up and down, hither and thither. We know not what comes next, or what follows after. Thus, the most ordinary movement in the world, such as sitting down at a table and pulling the inkstand towards one, may agitate a thousand odd, disconnected fragments, now bright, now dim, hanging and bobbing and dipping and flaunting, like the underlinen of a family of fourteen on a line in a gale of wind. Instead of being a single, downright, bluff piece of work of which no man need feel ashamed, our commonest deeds are set about with a fluttering and flickering of wings, a rising and falling of lights."

I'm not sure it's useful for programmers in particular -- maybe all this stuff about the ad-hoc nature of identity will help you choose what language to learn next or something :)
Rogue planets [0] are also very intriguing. Planets drifting through interstellar space without any star or neighbors.

Although they may never get sunlight, I suspect the view in their sky would be spectacular indeed (like ours when away from cities and light pollution, but even better.)

Maybe all that unfiltered starlight would be enough to coat the planet in a unique twilight all around, or maybe life there would specialize in other senses besides sight.

The planet may generate sufficient heat from its core and most of the life there might live underground, or there might be some other heat-providing geochemical processes on the surface.

Odd number releases are dev releases, even number are production releases. After 5.12 or so releases became time-boxed so that there is a new even release every year around this time (hence 5.28.0-rc1 dropping now, and in a year 5.30.0 will drop).
This can happen on the stock market too. When bitcoin drops to around $5k, you get margin called and bitcoin will get sold on the open market.
Well, I would think that low interest rates go together with financialization... By financialization I mean the stock of credit per-capita[0].

If you look at the ratio of house prices to years of work, these are things that have happened in that time: a) more mortgages, with longer terms, b) lower interest rates, c) higher financialization. I think all of these go together.

People wouldn't borrow so much to buy a house if they couldn't keep the payments low, for which they need longer-term mortgages and lower interest rates. Conversely, home prices couldn't rise as much if people couldn't afford them. Lower interest rates and longer mortgage terms stoke demand, but also, the fact that people can afford to pay more means that suppliers will demand more too. And since suppliers have debt too, I suspect that they could only have stayed profitable by increasing prices -- that merely increasing supply to match the higher demand without increasing prices was not an option for the industry as a whole.

You're right, I'm sure, that lower downpayment requirements are part of the story, so it's not just the monthly payment.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financialization

> Financialization is a term sometimes used to describe the development of financial capitalism during the period from 1980 until 2010, in which debt-to-equity ratios increased and financial services accounted for an increasing share of national income relative to other sectors.

May I have an off topic question? I know I read in an article that Cloudbleed woke you up like 1:23AM but I can't find that article any more and I used that to tell my junior developers to write code they can understand when they are woken at 1:23AM as you were. So the question is -- is this true or did I dream up something?

The EU, by trying to impose their will on the rest of the world, will see their power slip through their hands. The EU as a political structure is tenuous at best, with too much control being wielded by a few members. All it will take to break up the EU is a better deal extended to a few weaker members. Trump may decide to do this just to watch Europe burn.

I can't disagree more with this post. One should always aim at trivial code, but as things get more complex, it is there the the sensibility should fire in and make you say, ok I need more abstraction now, and refactor accordingly. But even then it is important to just add the minimum amount of abstraction to generalize the problem at hand, without thinking like "but why if in the future we change things..." Unless it's very clearly going to happen soon.
No, I didn’t say that.

When you take a GPS from an unlocked car, you get charged with petit larceny, which is an appearance ticket and $50-500 fine.

When you get charged with a higher crime, you get a few weeks in jail. In my case, the offender was a known “frequent flyer” who victimized my neighborhood for months, and was arrested 6 times. He was charged with a more serious misdemeanor, and was charged with 30 days in jail. He has not returned.

It looks like the Greek version is the point where 'almah' got translated as 'parthenos', a word that more specifically means virgin.

It's definitely become a key part of the tradition. I'm now agnostic, but went to a Catholic school growing up, so I know well how much importance is placed on it. I've just always found it interesting how such a core belief of the most popular religion in history might (or might not) have been based on a simple mistranslation.
If the borrower is the one setting the collateral, what's to prevent me from putting up something that's rapidly depreciating like my collection of e-Beanie Babies and effectively stealing the loan?
I agree. Developers should never build anything more complicated than it has to be at the moment.

Simplicity is key to happiness and productivity.
Silicon Valley and its offshoots are going to become surveillance central. The HQ of a surveillance economy courted by despots at home and abroad. The people working here are going to be the most hated people in the world.

A new narrative about benefits other than totalitarian surveillance is going to be crafted and circulated to provide some sort of ethical fig leaf for employees but everyone involved will know the truth just not acknowledge or discuss it.

Any reasonably well informed citizen intuitively will know this is not the right direction but there is an inevitability about it, money creates its own logic and many have already made their peace with it.

>What exactly has changed about the cost of having a dog?

If you have land, I suppose having a dog is not more expensive. That's what my parents had, and I don't.

Part of what makes having a dog expensive for people who rent is the fact that they have to rent. When you have a dog you can kiss goodbye at least half of your rental options. The ones that allow dogs charge a premium on top of limited options.

Plus, even when you have land, when you have a dog and wants to take a vacation you have to take care of the dog. When you ask/hire a someone to take care of the dog, you have to pay them, etc.
One way or another, the borrower has to come up with the principal + interest or they will forfeit their collateral. So they will want to use the loan in some sort of income generating capacity: financing a project, speculative trading, etc. If they are able to use the loan to earn more than the interest rate they've committed to, they'll make money overall. If not, they'll lose money.

Bottom line: we don't think the monetary policy of crypto-assets will have much of an impact on default rates in the short term.
I think Jerf's point is that for systems that complex, it is more sane to expect that we will be off by a lot. Remember that weather casting is frequently wrong in your own city.

Given CPAN started in 1999, you'd be talking about a PHP 4 project that was mostly finalized by 2005 (at which time PHP 5 had been out for around a year or so). You'd be insane to allow any level of external access to something running on PHP 4 without an insane level of isolation and hardening (and even it would still be a PITA to deal with in an ongoing basis).

For the most part you can take any Perl 5 code written in the last 20 years and just swap out the interpreter for a new one, and your code will run more secure, more stably, and faster (the list of actual deprecations that require change is generally.very small, if anything). It's a double edged sword though, as that back-compat legacy is not easily discounted when a change is proposed that would make modern Perl better but break older Perl. It's one of the reason the language is slower to adopt features than many others.
I call these forms of wisdom, or second-order intellect. First order intellect is insights you get through direct study of the world, wisdom is insights you get through meta-study of forms of intellect.

My underlying model of cognition extends this to 8 different levels, ending with consciousness itself. But that's getting ahead of ourselves. Third order intellect is the study of ego, how we get in our own way. Fourth order intellect is the study of identity, the forms we use to actually consider ourselves.

The rest of them concern the nuts and bolts of perception.
