I grew my vegetables on a neighbours allotment, he even lent me tools to make the process easier. After a while, out families crops were solely grown there.

One day, we were kicked off the allotment, out access to the crops gone in an instant.

I tried to remonstrate, but just got a waving hand in the face.

I am hoping if I publicise it enough in the local gardening forums, the allotment owner might feel a slight bit of pressure to act in this case, but apparently others who used his land didn't dare so well without someone trumpeting their case.

If only we had maintained the knowledge how to tend our own garden.
First stop would be the municipality, to see if this can be resolved in a non-legal way, second would be the police because flying drones over built up ground is illegal in many places, finally, recording people without their consent is illegal in private space (such as your garden).

I'm not the nicest person in the world and if someone flew a drone over my garden I would ignore it but if they would hover there long enough for me to be irritated I just might attempt to bring it down.

That would at least force the owner to identify themselves and I can afford to replace the drone if ordered to do so by a judge.
This was a big scare 10-12 years ago.

Google will eat the world. Whether you were selling an RSS client or giving away a social network, the fear was that Google could take your whole market sector.

How? Google search is the way customers find you, initially and every time they want to log in. If they want to compet, all the customers already have google accounts and they're already logged in. Google has useful customer data: "you are in a restaurant now and often visit yelp, do you want to write a review?"

Lean on 2 or 3 of these advantages, and Google can have a yelp-killer sketched out in an afternoon and built in a quarter.

In reality, Google didn't really eat everything. The web was just too big. They also sucked at some stuff like new communication or social network paradigms (wave, plus hangouts). But, Google's bigger now. Theyve eaten most of the big dishes. Yelp might still be too small a snack, but... the point about dominance is true. Google have a lot of power. If they want into some web sector, they can just power through the marketing & chicken-egg problems that kill 92.6% of the competition.
I suppose? The above mentioned method is really inaccurate. Student interest is calculated daily.

Here is a top search result for calculating student loan interest. They suggest not to do a yearly approach like you suggest. It even mentions doing a daily compounded function. I added a [LEAP] where the author left the reader hanging.

---
To understand how compound interest works, let’s look at an example. Consider a Direct loan with a $10,000 balance and a 4.45% interest rate.

First, you figure your daily interest rate by dividing 4.45% by 365 to get 0.012%. On $10,000, that works out $1.20. That $1.20 is added to your loan balance, bringing it to $10,001.20. That’s your new balance, and when interest is compounded the following day, you’ll pay interest on that total amount.

[LEAP]

By the end of the year, you’re looking at paying $455.02 in interest, rather than the $445 you’d pay if your interest was compounded just once a year instead of daily.

> Do you think the Japanese government just want an excuse to spy on their people?

I could go into a long discussion of Japanese culture and the relationship of Japanese society with the government, but... Really, you can't expect any large organisation to act rationally. All such organisations are made up of many, many people all of which have their own agenda. The action that is expressed at any given moment depends entirely on the ebb and flow of internal power struggles. You can't really predict it or reason about it in the same way you might for a single person. It could be anything.
Many of the spellings seem to be historical and/or purposely antiquated.
There is really no difference. You can frame the Kalman filter as a Bayesian posterior inference problem.

For example, for a stationary linear Gaussian model, you have a transition model of the form:
z_t = Az_{t-1} + Bu_t + e where e ~ Gaussian(0,Q)
and an observation model of the form:
x_t = Cz_{t} + Du_t + d, where, d ~ Gaussian (0,R)

Since, z_t and x_t are both multivariate gaussians in this model, you can compute the posterior distribution on z_t's, which will also be a Gaussian. That is basically the Kalman filter.

As the writeup mentions, you might choose a non-Gaussian noise model, in which case the posterior distribution is not a Gaussian and then you employ something like a unscented Kalman filter or extended Kalman filter.

"if I do something when I am a child, I have a right to use physical violence to stop people from telling stories about it later."

Well you have taken a very reasonable argument, removed all context, and taken it to the most illogical extreme you could.

The argument is that for all of human evolution we have been able to try, fail and learn in small societies which forget, now we have to do it in a large society that doesn't forget.

If we fail society will remind us of our failure by mocking us, this is a natural thing, and good for us, it encourages us to learn from our failures. Once we learn and correct the failure society and ourselves move on and forget.

If we can't forget we can't move on, instead of trying new things we over think our past failures. You can't change the past or learn anything new from the failure and so just live in regret and get depressed.

A society full of depressed people that wallow in regret is not good, check out the statistics of male suicide if you want to see just how self destructive such a society is.

The internet is a world wide society that never forgets. If you make a mistake instead of your society of friends and family taking the micky, you have the entire world mocking you.

Many of the people mocking you are depressed and filled with regrets, they are not worried about things getting out of hand, in fact they want it they want other people to feel their regret so the mocking quickly escalates beyond healthy mocking.

Maybe you are made of tougher stuff, maybe you can elevate yourself above all the criticism, but most people in a society can't.

Its not about morality, the right to fail, learn and move on is necessary property of a functioning society.

>Do you think the Japanese government just want an excuse to spy on their people?

I'm not OP, but I would be very surprised if the attack was the root cause for strengthening their spy agencies. In the United States we have seen time and again that laws for a stricter surveillance are passed with the pretext of anti-terrorism or anti-child pornography; Japan could very well be using such a case to justify their surveillance needs.
The problem never was the webservers, the problem has always been the links. So the real issue here is to properly set up the redirect from http to https in case someone lands through an old link.

That was the standard de facto way of accessing mail before web interfaces ruined it all: a lot faster than using a browser and you get full access to all your mail for complex searches etc.

Any offline client will do; I use Claws Mail since ages where I migrated all my email also from past clients such as Eudora under Windows XP. http://www.claws-mail.org/

It's multiplatform, very fast and stable and can keep, index and search huge datasets of emails (mine is over 60K messages since mid 90s) in seconds. Backing up/exporting the email database needs only saving the Mail directory in the user's home; I've successfully moved mail directories between Linux and Windows installations of Claws Mail without a hitch. It made Outlook users drop their jaws when they realized how fast it is and they no longer needed to delete years of mails because the client became slow as molasses.

All you have to do is configure it to access Google servers like any other client then check the option to delete the mail on the server once it has been downloaded. IIRC this option is checked by default.

That's a picture for my blog (well actually the related twitter account), which essentially deals with Python and porn. I was not going to make a new screen capture just for HN.
In a nutshell, because none of those facilities are really designed for writing your whole program in. If you have a program whose runtime is dominated by a few very hot functions, probably numerical, then numpy, Numba, and Cython are all decent options for making those functions fast, and you can use the full power of Python for the rest of your code. But if you have a big fat codebase where just about everything is lukewarm – and that describes a lot of programs – then you need everything to be fast. It's certainly possible to write a whole program in Cython, using static C types for everything and minimizing interaction with the Python world, but … well, nobody does that. As in, I've never seen a single large pure-Cython codebase, though I wouldn't be surprised if some exist.
Have you tried changing it based on sources? What the scholars say should be in scientific papers I guess? If it then gets denied you can still start a discussion on the talk page. Couldn't find anything on the talk page or history at first glance that referred to it.

Huh. For my part, I'd have trouble trusting a password manager (or browser, or OS) that claimed it _didn't_ need regular updates in order to remain secure.
> Instead you are forced to do something like this:

Logging ->
log("Something happened");
true -> ok
end

For this particular use-case there is much more elegant way in Erlang:

Logging andalso log("Something happened");

Even though I agree that the syntax and the concepts are unfamiliar for the general audience, I mainly see those arguments as the main reason to learn the language rather than put it away since it's sometimes the only way to learn something new.
Regarding the "alien" syntax and expressing my point of view, I think Erlang syntax is usable, very simple and sometimes prevents you from doing "too fancy" things.
Erlang's main areas are fault tolerant, high throughput applications and network protocols. Once it's declared as the focus - I wouldn't punch the ecosystem too much for the syntax but rather just use another tool for solving the problems that require more expressive programming languages.
On the critics of the areas of focus I'd recommend the work done by Fred Herbert, the author of Learn you some Erlang for Great Good (http://learnyousomeerlang.com/).

I find math on Wikipedia really hard to get right. If you want to express it completely accurate, many people with little knowledge of the domain won't understand it. If you want to make it accessible, you often need to make some compromise. For someone looking up a simple fact or theorem, having a simple description can be best, even if it's not strictly correct.

Leasing is a very specific financial instrument, like balloon financing (which I think Mercedes is the only manufacturer that still offers), which is pretty overused. The "I don't want to worry about maintenance!" type of person would typically save money buying the same car on a 4 year loan and trading up every 4 or 5 years compared to leasing for whatever the optimal term is (typically 30-39 months, usually 36).

You're not necessarily overpaying on leasing. It's just a math problem where a few of the variables (base MF, residual) are static, a few are easily negotiated (cap cost), and a few are less easily negotiated (dealer MF mark up).

I like how code in both Python and Lisp can often look similar despite different syntaxes, different conventions, and different philosophies.

Here is a toy example of file I/O in Python 3:

with open('foo.txt', 'w') as f:
print('hello, world', file=f)

with open('foo.txt') as f:
print(f.readline())

Here is a similar example in Common Lisp:

(with-open-file (f "foo.txt" :direction :output :if-exists :supersede)
(format f "hello, world~%"))

(with-open-file (f "foo.txt")
(format t "~a~%" (read-line f)))

This example is a bit contrived to show the similarities. Real and idiomatic code may not look so strikingly similar. But similarities in concepts, constructs, and structure of code emerge in both languages. In fact the article mentions, "Take a Lisp program, indent it properly, and delete the opening parens at the start of lines and their matching close parens, and you end up with something that looks rather like a Python program."

I think Brightline is a really good thing, if NIMBYIM doesn’t kill it.

As to the government building things: it can’t. For whatever reason our governments in the US are completely unable to build and maintain infrastructure, especially transit. The two best American systems, NYC and DC, are in shambles now after decades of mismanagement. This is not unique to transit: local governments all over the country are poisoning kids through ancient lead water pipes. We are unwilling to spend the money, and when we do, our outrageous public unions and NIMBYism cause things to cost multiples what it costs Europe or Asia.

That’s not true of all governments. (Though, I think you’d be surprised to see that most European countries have a heavier dose of privatization than the US, though less than Japan.) But for whatever reason, maybe some moral deficiency in our body politic, its true of ours. Given that, developing a market solution is a good option. And allowing the transit provider to “tax” both sides of the equation by charging fares as well as rents on surrounding land, is an economically sound way of optimizing the incentive to invest.
That's not how it happens. Unless it's impossible (ex, you target a credit card), you usually starts with Python because, if you know it, that's the easiest option for a POC. Then you look if for this project, it limited you in some way.

When it does, you use another tech. E.G, you needed something to consume less RAM, or you target the browser, or you want an small APK, you need multi-core AND cheap memory sharing, whatever...

But the thing is, short of some very specific constraints, Python is good enough for a lot of things and so we don't "forget" about other languages, we just end up not needing them more often than not.
