I feel that's related to the mentality that if something was broken, and you do not know why it's working again, then it's not really fixed.

This can be difficult to inculcate in new programmers as they try to tweak their way past error messages.
Oxidation of pectin produces a small quantity of formaldehyde as a metabolite. I’m not suggesting that you shouldn’t eat fruit or jams by the way, it’s just an example of how something considered broadly healthy still produces toxins that require elimination. Metabolism by its very nature produces energy and “exhaust” in the form of heat and metabolites. To be clear, you’re getting a lot more methanol metabolism from a drink of alcohol than an apple, so eat the fruit. No matter what we do we’re. It living forever based on diet, we should just try to avoid too much excess and accept that living isn’t a thermodynamically favorable process.
Vinegar is literally an acid (acetic acid in particular). You can test this yourself at home by mixing it with baking soda.
The didn't have free speech to begin with. People forget Germany, France and the UK don't have the basic concept of freedom of speech that America does. You could already go to prison for insulting the wrong groups or supporting the wrong political party, and people have.
Another good Nolan film is "Memento". My favourite of his works.
Breaking down wheat and dairy is difficult and breaks down into toxic elements. For thise who cannot remove the waste it becomes toxic.

Meat can be extremely healthy but some types are rich in oils that can't break down easy. Bacon vs lean pork
I agree that it's a somewhat hostile way to invite people to a project, but 1) I highly doubt that dropping a cheerful invite will have any convincing power other than someone replying "yeah, I should do that" and then promptly forgetting it, and 2) some scolding was needed. :)

Your second point is a good one, but the developers are in a better position to write actual features and fix bugs than anyone else, and since documentation is more public-facing than source code, it's actually a better choice if someone wants to contribute anything at all, so the primary developers can spend their time more wisely. I certainly know the "phenomenally faster if I'd just written it in the first place" effect well, which is why I recommend to contributers to not do drive-by contributions but spend a good week writing notes while they use the library, and then convert to high-quality documentation, effectively adopting a section like you would with a community garden. Quality over quantity. And if the documentation attempt is low quality, it's still a much nicer way to prod the developer to write some documentation, so he/she can use it to define their quality standards or as a possible outline.
In China the power to “reform” an issue is in the hands of a very few political elites. In the US it’s in the hands of a very few wealthy elites. It’s true that you can hope to have some influence through lobbying in a way that would be unthinkable in China, but it requires connections and vast sums of money.

If you try to challenge power structures in China directly they roll over you with tanks. The last time people em masse did the same in the US they were beaten, lynched, killed, jailed, firehosed and attacked with dogs.
> that pain is outweighed by the satisfaction in reading the headlines and being glad I'm not funding them anymore.

The lack of simple usage (account, transaction) fees, better interest rates, and better account security features do it for me.
Relatedly, the whole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Convention_on_t... is complex and prone to corruption.

It's hell.
Not only that, but communism is still an ongoing danger, unlike Nazism. Venezuela just experienced it. Zimbabwe a decade before, and now South Africa is slipping closer towards it. It's a real danger to human life but somehow people celebrate it.
I don't think it's uncommon, but either way, does it matter? I've taken some breaks too. I think it's important to find ways to be happy by yourself from time to time, and to learn to deal with loneliness. Hopefully go back to dating later with a healthier attitude (ie: wait for the right person, instead of just getting with someone because of loneliness).

Here are some articles I found with stats about frequency among adults:

In the interview, he talks a lot about the difficulty of navigating the regulations.

Perhaps his criticisms of those regulations are valid — but those regulations exist because of previous problems.

In many cases, the same people who scream, “banking sucks” would also scream if their bank failed due to a reason that some existing regulation would have prevented.
Current conda dev lead here. Just want to reference an issue we'll be tackling ideally on the timeline of the next 12 months. https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7248 Conda is not without its problems in the workflow that pipenv addresses. We know we have a deficiency here, and addressing that deficiency is one of our enumerated highest priorities.
How can it be considered not arcane when it contains gems like "Wikipedia:Be bold" and "Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point".

In other words, when I'm skirting a rule, I'm "being bold". When you claim your edit did not violate some rule any more than my edit did, you're "disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point".

If these issues are resolved by reasonable folks, it may still work, but Wikipedia is not a democracy and issues are frequently not resolved by reasonable folks.
If you have a Raspberry Pi, look into using Pi-hole[1]. It provides network-wide blocking when installed on your home network by proxying requests. I also use AdGuard Pro[2], which provides a similar function when I'm outside my home network. Both happen to be open source software[3][4], so that's a plus.

> I keep smelling this false dichotomy: either you're complying with the GDPR or you're doing something nefarious.

It certainly doesn't appear to be a false dichotomy to me. If your company has a European presence, you will be required to follow the GDPR. But for my purposes, companies that say they will support the GDPR globally will absolutely get my business before those that do not.

And there are plenty of areas where my data is used against me. Look no further than the recent cell phone location leaks, or facebook, or google.. The time for their siphoning every last shred of data is done.

> I'm arguing that businesses can make perfectly valid decisions regarding risk with respect to regulation that have little to do with the compliance in spirit.

And I, a customer, can make a very easy choice of "If you assert that you follow the GDPR globally, I will buy from you." I think of it like California Emissions, or other 'Better than average certifying bodies'.
This article is mostly not about Nazis (search for it, it shows up once, and just one out of a number of examples). I'm a bit baffled why you think it is.
I am a journalist and would like to know more. Reach me at sfrancisbjr@gmail.com if you can help.
Which was it - virus-guided evolution or cryofrozen eggs? That piece is all over the map.

And it begs the question: why is alien life DNA-based at all? Without addressing that, its just a comedy piece.
Nothing about open source depends on invasion of privacy, unless what you’re open sourcing is data mining the public, in which case... blow.
If someone wants to fix banking they should figure out how to do it in Japan. For all of the supposed idea that Japan embraces the future Japan's banking system must be among the worst in the 1st world.

A couple of examples

No interest: A typical interest rate is 0.015%. No that is not a misprint. It's X * 0.00015 annual interest rate (https://www.boj.or.jp/en/statistics/dl/depo/tento/te180516.p...)

No checks: Not sure about other countries but in the USA sending a check to someone usually costs nothing. In Japan checks really don't exist. Instead to send money you do a bank transfer which costs anywhere from $3 to $8 per transaction. For a regular person they might only have 1 payment like that (rent). But for a company that adds up quick. Electronic payment (sign in to your bank, send payment) uses the same $3 to $8 per transaction system.

Byzantine hours: I recently got a business bank account and signed up for the online banking (costs extra). I'm only allowed to send payments from 8am to 3:30pm.

ATMs are still not 24hrs. 7/11 (Shinsei Bank?) and a few others open 24hrs. Most ATMs still close at some point ever day. MUFG ATMs are currently 7am to midnight.

Japan is still a very cash oriented society. They do have things like Felica (digital cash) but getting around with paper cash is not easy. Note, I don't mind the cash thing since cash = anonymous but I know lots of foreigners east and west that are surprised as they can generally get by cashless in their own countries but not here.

I'm not even scratching the surface. I'm sure the people in power and regulations in place make it nearly impossible to fix the system but someone one out there must have a way.
Maybe because these are public forums rather than private messaging tools. Although, I presume individual users are liable too.
With the rise of nationalism and ending of large scale migrations the Governments of developed nations will either need to do more to encourage couples to build a family if they want to reverse this trend or they can chalk this up as a net positive since the plant can’t continue to sustain a growing human population.
Yes, I understand the purpose, but the result is that it replaces any previous way of specifying dependencies. It's great that it exists, but it's frustrating that it was developed right when the new thing for specifying dependencies (Pipfile) was starting to become popular.
They were terrible to work on, you had to have the special magic tool to pump it all back up again
I haven't found that to be generally acceptable on Metafilter, but again, I haven't really frequented since the mathowie days.
I wonder if the article is right about the internet being to blame for it. It's true that it's become ridiculously easy in the past few years to get access to so much content for free. I think the fragmentation of our culture might be partially to blame too. Everyone gets their own feed of news articles, videos and music completely customized to their own tastes, so much so that we end up having less and less shared culture with the people we see everyday. One thing is for sure: virtual reality probably isn't going to help.
Do you have a proposal for an alternative place to contribute to?
Vinegar is an acid, so it tastes sour. Ditto citrus fruits.

Bases taste bitter and feel slippery.

Human bodies are usually capable of dealing with quite a lot of acid or base coming in through the digestive system. I really don't know what sort of "risk" you're talking about.
When I was living in DC, I would frequently find that my phone would have a signal but not functioning service, and I'd have to restart it to get service back. I always suspected Stingray devices.
Until those jobs are automated away.
The best part of a Wikipedia article is where it links to external resources and gives you links/DOIs.

Plain vinegar is while apple cider vinegar is a base. For some reason did not picture someone drinking plain vinegar.
Don’t Get Too Used to Your Own Desk
Good luck with that, you might do it in a rural area but then you are the nutter hermit guy everyone talks about.
A few questions that pop into my head:

Why did land insects never rise to match the intelligence of the octopus?

If octopuses are so smart, why aren't they more social?

Why is it that the most social of animals, ants (which are considered eusocial actually), are not pressed with becoming smarter?

Why does sex cause octopuses to self-destruct?

Also, when it comes to weird theories, I have always thought that if we are in a simulation, it is most likely a simulation created by an insect intelligence. Or if we are being visited by aliens, that those aliens would in all likelihood be of an insect like nature, not some lame anal-probing grey dudes.

I claim this as vague support for my theory of alien insects[0].

If you just want to learn Vim because you think it's some magically fast editor, don't. It's not particularly fast at expressing actions, and modal editing is mostly useful if you have a particular dislike of chording.

I suspect most Vim users feel comparatively fast because of all the time they spent learning keybindings, not because of the editor. So just do that: figure out how to do editing actions faster in your current editor. I can beat a significant fraction of VimGolf scores with Sublime Text.
You presume correctly. The users who post hate speech are absolutely liable. It's just that those who host the content in question are liable, too.
I see where you're coming from, but it's not a completed project if it's not documented. If it's only 1100 lines it shouldn't be hard to document it. If it's only 1100 lines and it's undocumented, it would probably be easier for me to continue using my own.
That isn't in the spirit of hacker news discussion. That quote has a context and we shouldn't single one of the concerned notable persons out to judge them all. Galloway organised the Iraqi Oil for food program to try to relieve the population suffering extreme infant mortality under international sanctions, and he was a UK Parliamentarian and major figure in UKs Stop the War campaign and others.
If you have chronic pain, especially back pain or RSI, please read up on TMS. I probably would have written it off as new-age garbage if not for this excellent post by Y Combinator's very own Aaron Iba: http://aaroniba.net/how-i-cured-my-rsi-pain

Actually I did write it off the first time, but after a year of wrist pain I was ready to give it a try. Within a week my pain was 90% gone, and a month after that it was just a bad memory. I consider myself very lucky; not everyone's condition can be cured this way. But there's very little downside to trying.

(Sorry to be "that guy," but I figure that if even one person finds relief because of my post, it's worth the social cost.)
I view it a bit differently. I can't help feeling that we have trained a generation of devs to act in an entitled manner towards documentation that is easy and formerly seen as requisite as the code itself. Personally, I find documenting my projects a labor of love because it's where I can distill all of my hard work in a presentable format.
Probably because it’s easy to create memory leaks this way…
Why Vuesax? famework for vuejs
I wonder, out loud to all you HN lawyers, if not officially supporting an EU country gets you out of EU law. If a site offers no official language support, does it have to follow Germany's law simply because a German saw it?
Genuine question: are public companies required by law to publish those figures in question?
Giving customers of banks transparency of the models as a third party could be a good application of causal reasoning. Each individual customer of a bank only has their own parameters, and a yes / no output from the bank.

A third party designed to help customers get approved could aggregate data across multiple customers, generate hypotheses of what changes would artificially lower the bank's perceived risk for a customer (which would also require it understand what sort of changes customers can make easily), and test those hypotheses to refine a model.

It could optimise for revenue, paying customers for information, and receiving income if it succeeds in getting them approved.
I've been programming for a long time, but if it's undocumented I don't use it, period. It takes too much time, gets too buggy, and I can just write it myself and understand it completely (and document it as I go).
For a single guy I would think it's not uncommon. Though, I do find it bizarre that a large number of young adults would be uninterested in sex.
Not the people in Qaddafi's prisons.
The fact that this "article" was published on a site that appears to have no other purpose other than advertising some RSS tool and who has a Twitter account that seems to be almost entirely dedicated to pushing this one story is an objective truth.

Their other Twitter activity is mostly from an anti-western perspective with a lot of pro-Assad, pro-Iran, pro-Wikileaks, pro-Corbyn, and a handful of straight pro-Putin messages. I'm not giving an opinion, just stating the objective truth (I can link exact Tweets if you'd like).

This article also mirrors pieces being shared predominately on pro-Putin outlets like Sputnik and RT.

So the fact that some of the targets in this seem to be pro-Russia isn't entirely a non-point when trying to evaluate the full picture of this situation and the motivation of the different parties involved.
Still doesn't block ads from the Facebook mobile app.

Even if you install a root cert to MITM, some apps pin certs.
And now that the field has come to grips with the infinite complexity of language, when should we expect the field to act on that understanding instead of attempting to bypass it?

What's the difference scientific materialism and empiricism?
Of course there are 1001 things YOU deem more important. All that says to me is that your interests and priorities are not aligned with how people in the EU want their data handled.

The WHOLE POINT of GDPR is that many companies have continually pushed PII data handling down their list of priorities. As a result, the EU has decided to step in and use a law to bring it back up the list.
Another data point is anyone who’s familiar with the workings of the Gates Foundation knows it’s a snakepit. Yes, Bill and Melinda mean well and it’s far from Zuck’s scam foundation, but it’s hardly an efficient organization.
This is great, and they're fully documented. Thanks.

> Right now China doesn’t really have an outlet to the wider pacific in case of war. They are blocked by Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Russia and the whole of Southeast Asia. If they could control the whole SCS, or retake Taiwan, then their submarines would get out without assured detection.

It's much more important than submarines. Their trade, and access to resources such as oil, goes through that territory controlled by others (the US especially).
In the US criminal justice system (and likely most others), there is no standard for how to systematically compare fingerprint images--as distinguished from scanning a finger itself. The biometric machines are good at saying, "the surface being scanned has the features I'm looking for." But they can't take a latent print (e.g. lifted from a drinking glass or door knob) and match it to another (including one made "professionally" with an ink blotter) in a defensible way.

It turns out that fingerprint examination depends hugely on examiner judgement. That judgement is quite susceptible to several biases, such as a detective saying, "hey, we've got prints and someone in custody, can you match the prints?"

TV shows like CSI etc. have trained us to think of fingerprint identification of criminals as something like public/private key signing, but it's not nearly that trustworthy. The error rate is in the neighborhood of 15-30%!

The result is that fingerprint-comparison results are presented as facts when they are closer to guesses. This ends up convicting innocent people and letting guilty people go free.

If you would like to work on this, please contact me!
But as the article points out, adding a time stamp only will matter if you have access to other data to map it to a real person.

So based on my reading, IPs and time stamps are not PII unless you are an ISP or you link them to other PII (so still the IP and time stamps are really irrelevant because they depend on that other PII).
No access important. Mapping is possible only with access.

So IPs and time stamps are not PII by themselves.
I too have that issue, I can't figure out how to zoom and get past that pint in the tutorial.
I still wonder if anything came from their internal investigation for insider trading around the hard fork.
I thought it wasn't the hard fork, but rather, when they started listing BCH (several months after the fork)
Of course, there are ways around this: you could make a copy of Facebook that doesn’t pin certificates.
Thanks for your work! I agree these are valuable design features to add and to get right, and also agree that pipenv offers tools for this workflow.

From my perspective, I’ve tended to prefer Docker for this. This allows me to version control environment components like environment variables in the form of the Dockerfile. I usually have a Makefile for my project which then uses multistage builds or other techniques to automatically detect when environment.yml (or package changes, like to setup.py) take place, requiring a rebuild of the container, so that downstream things like running tests, dropping into an interactive debugger in a full environment (with the right python environment, environment variables, etc.), all just become simple Make directives.

It doesn’t cover everything. Notably, for situations when there are many target environments, like testing a library I intend to distribute cross-platform, across Python 2/3, etc., I might still use a tool like appveyor rather than suffering the multiplicity of a bunch of Dockerfiles and Make commands to target multiple environments.

But for most applications I develop with an intention of targeting a small set of production or dev environments, it turns out to be better IMO to separate the Python environment & package definition entirely from the larger runtime environment (ENV vars, etc.), and use Docker for that part, with Make as the bridge.

Combined with making a library choose sensible defaults for ENV vars, copiously documenting them, and providing examples, this has worked well enough that I do not need or want to mix the external environment configuration with the app’s config files or package spec, in a “separation of concerns” sense.

Your mileage may vary, but this pattern has really worked well for me, and makes me skeptical of solutions that approach combining environment configuration with packaging as a first-class feature, rather than as a special case.
That’s not true.
Governments are not immune to market forces unless we’re talking about totalitarian planned economies.

Governments have limited resources and so they’ll focus and optimize their spending to maximize efficiency and the same reason a bus route would be unattractive to a for profit operator would likely force a non for profit one to direct their attention somewhere else.

The best way is usually forcing the for profit operators to bid on whole regions rather than individual routes and mandating minimum service levels across the board which would prevent operators from running a bus once a day and calling it a served route.

The only way in which a government run transportation provider would not experience this issue is if the people are aware of it and are willing to pay the extra money in taxes to cover the costs of running unprofitable routes and would actively lobby their governments to spend that extra money on exactly that which isn’t likely.
Bank of Slumerica does this for one. It's funny because on the face of it, they're inducing their customers to commit fraud every time they write a check!
