Yes, that’s true. Now how many countries would the US recently have watched change their laws around pot vs the discussion currently going on inside of US States?

Is being technically true better than a contextual joke?
Choose your type of "China" hacking:

- Chinese IP address

- IP address that links back to something China

- IP range that belongs to a Chinese cloud provider

- Chinese hacker group (admittedly most of them are reallocated in south east asia)

- botnet located in mainland China

- Government sponsored action

There are so many articles directly jumping into conclusion of the last type.

If you're hoping to reduce use amongst the general population, legalization seems to be a better course of action than prohibition.

I don't think either of us are going to argue that no matter the legal status of marijuana there's always going to be a demand for it and a market. If you're primary objective is to mitigate harm to the public writ large, and not just scorning consumers, I can't think of anything more conducive than allowing for people to be open about their consumption habits without fear of legal reprisal so that healthy social norms and boundaries can be established.

Further, if that market is always going to exist I'd imagine you'd rather see the proceeds be cycled into legitimate enterprises that actually support society as a whole and contribute taxes rather than the black economy, which is where it's inevitably forced.

The pros far outweigh the cons here.
How does DivANS compare to state of the art compression algorithms? Is Brotli widely acknowledged as the state of the art or you just compare to it because it is fast?

My understanding is Zstd was designed to be fast, not necessarily efficient, and the other algorithms listed (e.g. 7-zip, gzip) are quite ancient.
I actually used to spend a lot of time on a chelation and alternative medicine forum. Chelation is the way heavy metals are drawn from the tissues when you have metal poisoning.

You don't magically get better if you end up with heavy metal poisoning. Without treatment, it tends to remain in your tissues permanently. (However, life is chemistry and there are some foods that can promote the removal of metals, such as cilantro which is commonly found in Mexican fare.)

My guess would be the old building had mold or fungus issues. If you are otherwise in good health and don't wind up with a bona-fide fungal infection, moving out of such a situation would go a long ways towards resolving your issues.

Hi Bob - quick comment in this. The comparable to DartVM is not WebAssembly but PNaCl, which was Chrome-only. Wasm was much easier because asm.js proved the concept source-compatibly and in multiple browsers. I spoke to Anders Hejlsberg, Steve Lucco, and others at MS in fall 2013 and they got on board, even using OdinMonkey code licensed under ASL2 by Mozilla to overcome MS objections to the MPL.

Meanwhile Dartium could not land in WebKit pre-Blink, because two GCs impose a cycle collector “super-GC” with inevitable extra cost. See https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2011-December/... (I found this link from my HN post at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12773857).

DartVM like PNaCl was trying for too much in Chrome, exceeding what other browsers could afford to embrace at high direct and opportunity costs in a competitive post-Chrome browser market. A spec would take many years and multiple competing implementations to forge. Code is spec with such big single-company-grown projects.
Mag strips are often used by ATMs and machines that you stuff cards into for tickets (train, museum etc).m I don’t know why but I’ve never encountered an ATM that uses the chip. I’m an MRI radiographer with expertise in the area of mag strip erasure. Chips are fine though and work after repeated exposure to 3T magnets.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent breakdown in US-Canada relations? Maybe the Canadians are less concerned with offending us now?
Not slicker than JSX, definitely. It’s not HTML, it’s not Javascript.

As code goes in complexity Vue quickly becomes ... let’s call it weird: https://mobile.twitter.com/dmitriid/status/98777166684669952...

Javascript-like scripting in strings? Check. Different versions of HTML-like attributes? Check. Magic binding of all that to specific structures in JS code? Check.

But please, do tell me how it’s beter than React where you “have to figure out how to mix JavaScript expressions with JSX expressions (sometimes it gets ugly).”
I love that development model for internal platforms, but it sounds like you are isolating yourself from the pain points that your customers often face.

My current company casts a weary eye at third party software so the import process is slow and involved. This means we only take major versions, and usually not very quickly. When those versions then introduce regressions in our own products and in dependent libraries it only serves to strengthen the voices calling to ditch the external solution entirely. It'd be a different story if a major version seemed to be of consistent quality to squat on for a while, but each new version brings its own challenges.

To be clear this is all involved in life as a dev in a large software company. For my own personal use I'd rather see RN move as fast as possible. I'm fighting the good fight to keep up (and increase) adoption at work so I just hope that FB and the RN team keeps these things in mind.

Thanks for the additional insight here.
Yep. Glad we finally put this tired horse to bed.
I don't know if "illegal immigrant" is well-defined enough to come up with a clear rule.

Someone who is not eligible to request asylum could definitively be called an illegal immigrant. Treaties signed and ratified by the US (which have the force of law in the US) require that refugees not be punished for unauthorized entry or presence if they present themselves to the authorities and request asylum, so they would definitively not be illegal immigrants. Someone who is eligible to request asylum but hasn't yet done so would be in a bit of a grey area.

You probably haven't heard of this before because asylum seekers are a fairly small portion of immigrants. The number of asylum seekers per year only crossed 100k/year in the past year or so and prior to about 2015 was less than half of that. The total number of illegal immigrants has been close to 1 million/year at some points. This has only made it into the media because of the recent policy change to take punitive actions towards asylum seekers in direct violation of the US's treaty obligations.
there's no guarantee, they are running potentially concurrently. So the same variable is accessed from two goroutines with no mutex.
Yep. Think about all the US gun deaths you hear about (34k): homicides, suicides, law enforcement. [1]

Then realize that alcohol's death toll is more than twice that (88k): liver disease, drunk driving, domestic abuse. [2]

And tobacco is yet again over five times deadlier than alcohol (480k for smoking). [3]

It is insane how many Americans die due to injesting poisonous substances.

I understood 'both layers' to mean both the abstraction layer, and the underlying layer being abstracted. Actually, you might even understand it as 'all 3 layers' here - iOS, Android, React Native.
I think you mean 'built-in' into react native? Facebook routinely lets the community settle on the correct api aside from a limited core.

E.g. react router on web has gone through many versions and there are several community libraries for doing web navigation and how you want to track that application state.

Some security professionals seem to insist on having a proven exploit before they act. Doesn't that seem like poor decision-making? Their job is to provide security, not to secure proven exploits - the latter is a means to an end. If there are threats from unknown exploits, and there certainly are, then it seems that they need techniques to address unknown exploits. One of those techniques is expert analysis of potential threats.

Sure, drugs illegally diverted.

That doesn’t mean you should be denying pain medication to people who need it.
I've always been the kid who was into technical stuff. Before I was in elementary school, I would insist that my dad let me help put together my Hot Wheels tracks and such. On a rainy day when I was 8, I had locked myself in my room to avoid my family, and I was lucky to have a computer to myself there. I turned my focus for that day towards it, and I wondered how it worked, so I googled "How to code". The first result that came up at the time (circa 2006) was https://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/c-tutorial.html, and an hour or two later, I had learned the basics of my first programming language.

I didn't really care that much about computers at the time, though. Over the years, I became a power user of Windows, iOS, and macOS, but I was way more into sports, particularly baseball. After a while, though, I became the fat kid that all the pitchers liked to hit, and when the pitchers started learning to throw 80 MPH fastballs in early high school, I decided I needed a new hobby. That's when I started getting serious about understanding code and becoming a developer.

I bounced around free tutorial after tutorial online, and I ended up with a solid understanding of how to make a static website. I saw a few ads between YouTube videos for a more cohesive online coding school called Treehouse, and they were running a promotion at the time where if you bought one of their pro subscriptions, they'd give one for a year for free to a public high school student. I thought to myself, "Hey, I'm a public high school student. I wonder how I can get on the receiving end of that?", and so after some googling, I found their CEO's email address, and asked him. He got me set up with that, and I've been hooked ever since. I taught myself everything from the web front-end to scripting languages like Python to mobile development. Nowadays I'm a moderator on their community forums, supporting myself as a freelance iOS/web developer.

In high school, I was also really into the technical clubs I had available to me. I went for the majority of my Junior year to a high school in suburban Philadelphia, where I joined the robotics club, which got pretty much all my attention and passion while I was there. There was also a computer science club there, too, which was part of the Hack Club family of high school coding clubs. I loved that club, too. It was a great time to stop worrying about the stresses of they day/week before, and just sit back and work and learn about code with other people who're into it. I enjoyed it so much that when I went back to my former high school in suburban Nashville for my Senior year, I started another Hack Club there, too. Since then, I've pretty well known what my life's passion is, and now I'm trying to use it to start a career.

Why is it legal for these companies to sell our data to anyone? This is nuts.
For all of those who are so amazed at the current state of technology in the world, it's articles like these that help bring us back to Earth.

It was less than 100 years ago that we thought it was a good idea to (1) put lead in paint, (2) put asbestos in building materials, (3) put x-ray machines in shoe stores so people could casually look at their feet (learned this from a relative).

We are only a few generations away from some literal dark age shit.
Given the extent to which cannabis can alter thought, we should probably be systematically testing it against all the mental illnesses, with a focus on identifying the minimum effective dosage.

Do we have sufficient evidence to say that cannabis can/cannot treat something like schizophrenia? Is it far-fetched to imagine the vaporizer becoming an ordinary medical device?
"hand and hand" -> "hand in hand"
You are describing a Master Data Management(MDM) system. Also referred to as "single source of truth" in a data oriented system. The data in a MDM is homogeneous. The most important requisite for MDM's effectiveness that every downstream system needs to get data from MDM. No system should generate it's own data.

While those are general rule in practice, it is a difficult task to pull off. The problem is not technical but rather due to people. There are tons of department in a company. And every time an input is made things change a little. It's due to human mistakes, software restrictions and lot more.

I haven't worked in teleco but here's an example on what goes wrong when data is recorded. Marketing will send out flyers to say 100 people. One of them is named ABC XYZ. This person is interested in a phone line from say AT&T.

When sales of AT&T take this up due to some problem, the name is recorded as ABC-XYZ ie with a hyphen. Now this data is human readable but doesn't make sense to a computer. So, when it comes to tallying up marketing and sales it doesn't work.

Now things get worse when a connection has been sold, the address field in sales might be smaller compared to a full fledged customer system. So, sales says address is "XYZ Street" whereas customer system says "SSS Boulervad, XYZ Street". And then this snowballs further.

To resolve this many companies try to implement a UCM - Unified Customer Management systems, a branch of MDM. But then there are people's ego, money considerations etc come in the way. So companies don't bother with it and go with settlement vendors.

Now, this is a similar situation when it comes to CDR. Different equipment means different sets of data, that's why they need a settlement company.

So, the problem is not a simple - middlemen eating money. There are lot of things going on.
Seems like with weed it's just a matter of time but in the case of the conservative government why change it if their older voter base isn't asking for it and a portion of them would have a negative reaction if they did. I guess they think the risk of loosing some of their base is too high.

I love the work of David Nutt, who was fired from the role of Government drug advisor in the UK for trying to change the government's policies. He cited papers about how some drugs are less harmful then alcohol, tobacco and horse riding (equacy). He spoke truth and backed it up with scientific research and the Labour government fired him because it was inconvient.

The same law that’s been used to prosecute other crimes, the federal govt jurisdiction over interstate commerce.

That decision goes back to federal govt controls over wheat prices. Some guy said “i’ll grow what I want, I don’t care about the price controls” and the courts agreed with the twisted logic that it impact interstate commerce, thus they have the power to control it.

1. The Chinese government is more than capable of stopping all of the types you listed.

2. There is history of the Chinese government using its hackers to attack projects and companies it dislikes (see Github DDoS for a high-profile recent example).

3. The US intelligence community has stated that in many cases, the Chinese government is behind attacks. I might distrust the US intelligence community, but this is not something they need to lie about.

4. When Obama and Xi agreed that the US and China would stop infiltrating each other's networks, the breaches stopped.

There is one more thing I almost forgot to mention. The point you made is actually more applicable to Russia. Over the past decade, the Russian government has taken the approach of allowing hackers on Russian soil to operate more or less without any legal consequence so long as their attacks do not target Russian entities. When Putin talks about "patriotic individuals" being behind the hacks on the DNC, I believe him. That does not mean he (or the people arouhd him doing his bidding) was not privy to what was going on or that those patriotic individuals did not receive suggestions on what a good target and a good strategy might be.

Garden of Eden is a commune of people that grow their own food, use minimal electric, use water from a well, etc and then sell their produce and products online. They've faced some lovely treatment as well [1]. They were faced with a machine gun raid and day long detainment under the auspices of a drug warrant. No drugs were found. Following that they were raided by the city's Code Compliance Department who cut down and carted off various plants and 'accidentally' broke their irrigation lines with their trucks.
