It is a mistake to think that consequences that come with other businesses or the government believing you are doing something illegal can only occur if you actually do something illegal. (It's also a mistake to think that the government could o my seize your computer if it thought you did something illegal with it; though if they didn't but thought it had relevant evidence they might ask nicely before getting a warrant, rather than jumping straight to compulsory process. But that's politeness, not a legal mandate.)

There's a provision for this. TLD operators have to upload all registry data to an escrow service. If the TLD operator goes out of business or turns out to be technically incapable of running the registry, ICANN can access this data and transfer the domain to another registry. ICANN has contracts with several registry operators to take over in case of an emergency like this.

There needs to be at least a solid understanding of the trivium along with ethics before anyone should be allowed to graduate with any degree (whether for arts, humanities, or STEM). And yes, I think that basic calculus might be a good thing to add to that as well.

The problem with a liberal education doesn't lie so much with the subjects of curriculum as much as how leaders in the humanities abuse their knowledge and positions for their own authoritarian leanings. This is what fuels the anti-intellectualism of today which has lead to the latest wave of populist authoritarianism. An educational system geared towards making money off of sheepskin instead of actually enlightening people doesn't help either.

You are somehow spinning a negative thing, men being perceived as incompetent in parenting, in to a positive thing, that you can make mistakes, and that women are oppressed because they aren't allowed to make mistakes because they are perceived as competent parents.

It is objectively a bad thing if men are perceived as incompetent parents, because they are men, let alone from any other stereotypes.

Men don't have the lower body strength to do it. Flying a damaged B-17 is just not possible without the leg and upper body strength.

Because, as you say, dogs =/= all dogs (and men =/= all men).

Show HN: Rust vs. Go – What are your thoughts?
I personally haven't event used or looked at Rust so I don't have an opinion. So now I'm interested hearing what others think?

I think the syntax of Rust isn't very appealing, but that's not a good reason to /not/ look at it.

Convince me? :)
Huh? That's not my intention.

It's my genuine view that if one wants to improve this situation, the best thing they can do is forgo children and get involved in education and politics. People become hamstrung with familial obligations, and we could really use a generation of more adults focusing on our nation's hygiene rather than growth.
You haven’t interacted with many average users, have you? When instructed to go to “yourdomain.com”, they’ll bring up google and search for yourdomain.com. If it doesn’t appear in google search results, it effectively doesn’t exist to an enormous segment of users.
There's no personal mapping features on osm.org.

You could try http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/

As far as crossing someone, it certainly happens that people get territorial and there are lots of relatively pointless objections, but many people welcome improvements in the areas they pay attention to. And then a difference with Wikipedia is that in OSM, if you go look at something and establish ground truth, that's the gold standard.

You can look at http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussions to see what a lot of interactions end up looking like. Usually polite and straightforward.

For all but one of the specific drugs mentioned in the article, the lab equipment and scientists were paid for a long long time ago.

One is a common hormone produced in the human body that was isolated over 120 years ago and has been used for medicinal purposes almost as long.

Another was discovered in 1952 and has been used in medicine since 1953.

Another was patented in 1961 and approved by the FDA in 1971.

The two related to abortion were developed in 1973 and 1980, respectively.

The whole point of downvotes is to improve S/N ratio by reducing the visibility of noise by both deemphasizing the comments that are noise and channeling pushback to such comments into the voting system rather than additional comments.

So, no, not getting pushback in comments is not supporting evidence for improper use of downvotes, it is the intent of downvotes.
Back then it was expensive especially compared to just setting up a domain. Plus there are other rules too like having a support staff. The rules force applicants to effectively act like a registry company. Just to limit the number of applicants they put all sorts of annoying rules in the books. However companies with too much money in their hands did that and more. Google registered different names just for fun.

If you're unhappy with your Internet, move. Whether you have good internet or not is mostly a function of your locality. I can get gigabit through either Verizon (fiber) or Comcast (fiber or cable). The service is second in reliability only to the public water/sewer (it went down once because a tree fell on the fiber).

It's not because Verizon is nicer than Spectrum. It's because my county makes it cheap, easy, and relatively hassle free to build and maintain the infrastructure. The love affair places like NY and CA have with regulation is self-defeating. There is a reason why fricking Kansas City has fiber and LA doesn't (and NYC got it a decade after backwaters in MD and VA).

At the child dentist I take my kids to, they call men "Dad" and women "Mom". For example, "Okay, Dad, we're here to get a check up for John today? Just fill out this form, Dad." It's awful and I hate it.

I think humanities are a great combination degree but worthless on their own.

A finance major who knows history can anticipate how inevitable big market swings are.

Philosophy pairs great with computer science.

A mathematician or physicist that speaks French or Russian has access to much more information.

And for what it’s worth, the breakout high school classmate of mine was an English major. And Economics.

I would never suggest someone get a PhD in it though. There are better ways to enjoy and share the humanities.

Git hooks are great for formatters, but it's a big problem for large teams that you can't auto-install them on everyones machine. Of course I realize why git refuses to do this. At my company (Fivetran) we ended up writing a Java annotation processor that simply checks if you've installed the git hooks, and if you haven't it throws a big error message that says "YOU NEED TO RUN install_git_hooks.sh"
Ah. What confused me was the word “process” which typically refers to the stack of things that take a high level description of a circuit and turn it into instructions for the machine to execute to make the wafer.

Only because we've arbitrarily decided that all of the English dialects are a single language. Texas Southern English and Newfoundland English are not significantly more mutually intelligible than Spanish and Portuguese. Scots and Singlish are considered English dialects but are barely intelligible to many English speakers.
This is a great book, by the way -- surprisingly technical and thorough. I preordered it thinking I was getting a coffee-table book full of glossy photos and not much else, and was (pleasantly) surprised to be wrong.
It is a demanding book -- I never got to really finish reading it cover-to-cover -- but it's very helpful nonetheless even if one reads the parts they find easy.

For example, the first dozen pages on Calculus have imparted a better understanding of the subject than all the indecipherable (if only due to sheer volume) tomes of Stewart. It was an invaluable boost.

Most of the time when I’m out at a restaurant or cafe it’s not to listen to loud music, but to sit down and have some quality time with one or a few people. It completely ruins the experience for me when they have music playing so. Damn. Loud. Especially in places packed with people where it’s already loud due to everyone talking. There are certain places where the food and service are good but I just won’t go because of the noise levels.

And this is coming from someone who loves heavy metal and goes to some pretty loud concerts. But there’s a time and a place for it.
I'd say the anti-intellectual authoritarianism has emanated from campuses. That being said when I first went to college I also held the view that mandating some level of humanities was important to be "well-rounded", and on some level still think this is true, but I've since soured on the people who say we need more B-school & Engineering schools students taking these classes to promote so called "critical thinking" as I've felt that "skill" is more a personal mentality than any thing taught in a class. That and I think it is rent seeking by the schools who have less economic resources. Also part of my souring is, which I think you are alluding to, that it seems to be more about indoctrination than anything else.

>I also believe that humanities should master at least basic calculus.

I agree that mathematics is underappreciated by most people who work in the humanities. But I strongly disagree that they should learn calculus.

In fact, I would argue that calculus is the problem with the perception of math in the social sciences. There are plenty of types of math that could potentially be applied in sociology and its variants, particularly mathematical logic and graph theory. Statistics needs no introduction. Calculus by contrast deals with continuous changes in well-defined quantities, which are not like anything a sociologist encounters.

I suspect that the reason that many sociologists believe that most of mathematics is basically an extended version of calculus -- as seen in this essay:

https://www.edge.org/conversation/rory_sutherland-this-thing...

-- is because a social scientist's primary interaction from math is by way of economics, who do use calculus to track nearly-continuous changes in well-defined quantities.

However, economics is unique among the social sciences in that the phenomena it seeks to describe can be readily quantified. This leads to the mistaken belief, evident in the article, that mathematics is only able to contribute to the study of things which are easily quantifiable, which is not true at all!

Students in sociology should really be taught statistics and discrete math, with special attention to any techniques that may be useful in describing human behavior.
> It's really hard to get enthusiastic about contributing to it when the data is just abysmal here.

Be careful what you wish for. Once there's enough pre-existing data, or many contributors actively adding it, you'll have to worry about offending the "community".

Right now, you can be that community and add what you feel is important in the way and order you feel is important, at least locally.

Alternatively, you could try to ETL [1] the data from other sources, though free ones aren't always available, especially if something like building data hasn't been put into digital form by the government. Even then, you might be in for a fight to get it for a reasonable cost, even if freedom-of-information or public-records laws are technically on your side.

I have a PhD in the humanities and am now working on NLP. I can attest to the difficulty of finding a fulfilling career in humanities academia, but I don’t know if it’s worse than STEM academia since academia is insanely competitive in general. In my school (Ivy League) , PhDs in my department attain professorship as often as STEM ones, if not faster.
I think the humanities are more suited for general education than specialization, unless you want to be a professional scholar, which is a fine choice as long as you are aware of the competition. I do think humanities need to re-brand itself as an essential part of general higher education (STEM kids need to know some humanist thinking) rather than just specializations.

Eh, it's not as simple. From what it looks like, they're not just copying syntheses from the patent application. With this Chematica data, it seems like they were pursuing novel syntheses for a variety of drugs in order to minimize side product formation or make the synthesis easier, which is an impressive feat.

That being said, they aren't running clinical trials or evaluating drug efficacy, which is another difficult part of drug development.
The first package installer I was aware of that used a SAT solver was SUSE's, back when Yum's solver was extremely primitive and would regularly fail to find a solution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZYpp

I think using a SAT solver for package installation arose out of dealing with much more complex requirements than are likely to arise in a Go project. The Smart package installer used heuristics to find a solution depending upon the operation:

https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~smartpm/smart/trunk/view/head:...

Poetry, Cocoapods, and Dart are all apparently using this SAT solver:

https://github.com/dart-lang/pub/blob/master/doc/solver.md

FWIW, I wrote a package installer that worked with RPMs, Solaris packages and AIX packages about 15 years ago and ended up with a minimal version selection similar to vgo. I wasn't a genius or anything... I just wasn't aware of SAT solvers at the time and it was the simplest thing that worked.
Charter, Spectrum, Charter Spectrum, whatever the hell it is now, stopped offering 300Mbps in my area about a year ago (from what I've been told: due to low demand). However, they allowed my account to remain at 300Mbps, likely because I've never had a contract with them. Ever since then, they've hiked my bill up about $50 in $10 increments. I can only assume they want me to ditch it for their "Supreme Ultimate God-Tier Just-Enough-Of-A-Contract-To-Fuck-You-Shall-You-Cancel Phone, Internet, and Hulu Streaming Bundle Bonanza" package that they keep sending me extremely-official-looking snail-mail for. Whenever I call to ask why I'm being charged more, they give me the runaround and have even told me to downgrade my internet package. I'm not playing their little game... I'll hopefully be ditching them all together soon. I wish the FTC, BBB, etc gave a shit about these practices...it's sad. /rant
