Whether or not it produces results, violence is not a legitimate public health issue, it is a public safety issue. Confusing people with terminology is a bad idea. Public health officials should not allow their area of concern to be abused in this manner because there are serious issues relating to disease, and especially in the prevention of transmissible disease, along with the goals of sanitation that public health exists to address. Violence is a completely separate matter.

I often see gun banners, e.g. anti-self defense do gooders attempting to re-cast violence as a public health issue in order to ramrod policy changes. They don't really care about public health, their agenda is civil disarmament. That means they are disarming the citizens who have right to self defense along with the bad elements, who don't follow laws to begin with. I find that to be a dangerous course of action that is very misguided. Whether you think people should own guns or not is beside the point. In the US, we have a right to self defense and we should have access to the tools and technologies that put teeth in that right and not just pay lip service to it. Individuals standing up for civility, enforcing it as necessary, is how we move forwards in preventing violence in our communities. It isn't just the job of the police, it's everyone's job to create and promote peaceful civilization.
breaking up the four freedoms is very unlikely, mainly because it is a foundation principle of the EU.

This comment seems unnecessarily mean spirited. The article is on someone's private blog. Nobody's forcing you to read it. How in the world is it "disrespectful" to write in a certain style on your own blog, providing your thoughts to the world for free?

Stylistic points aside, I strongly disagree that the obsession with image has been the same with every generation. It's existed, for sure, but substance used to matter more. For example, college admissions were previously more reliant on tests than they are today. Kids are stuck in a vicious circle of pretending to care more and more about things they hate like public service and high school sports--that's, I think, the point of the article, and it's an important point to make, even if the article's style could use some polishing.

Right that is exactly my point. It's totally plausible that we might waste some food or money. By "sky is falling" I mean things like these wink-wink-nudge-nudge articles that Trump is ready for WW3 [0] and is able to use nukes whenever he wants [1], or that 1,000 economists imply tariffs can lead to another Great Depression [2].

It's that latter tenor that I'm getting from cstross's post. I don't doubt that mildly bad things can happen as a result of Brexit. I just am skeptical it will be more than your usual recession, say.

While the contract states that, that part should actually be unenforceable unless a certain set of conditions is in place.

That is exactly why Google's choice of wording is so poor. Far better would be 'encrypted/not encrypted' as that is all https really is. Safe can have far to many meanings and I won't be at all surprised when Google faces a class action when 'unsafe' things happen on a website they deem 'safe.'

Personally don't understand the heavy push to force https on everything and anything. The maintenance/time required to set up and maintain is not insignificant and is really quite pointless in many situations. Do you really need an encrypted connection to LOLCats?

> Taxes are a part of citizenship.

Only for the US (and Eritrea). Your country should not own you and make extra-territorial claims on your income or wealth due to an accident of birth. Recently, the US has also made it harder and more expensive to renounce citizenship. Even if you have paid all back-taxes owing (and paid a large fee), it will not agree to release you from bondage, if it thinks your motivation (thought crime) is to avoid excessive future extra-territorial taxes!
> The same thing happend to Hilton Head Island, SC. Most of the south end has become a gated community.

Hilton Head native here, I don't think the HHI history is quite the same. Prior to Fraser kicking off the island as we know it in the '50s, it was basically just a handful of Freedmen farmers, Gullah natives and a rather large hunting reserve for the rich. Also, while some of the gated communities don't allow the riff-raff in, unless you decide to bike or make a restaurant reservation, some still do, most notably Sea Pines.

Also, the Town of is rather cognizant of their place as a very natural, family-friendly island and goes to great pains to preserve land[0] and limit what and how folks build[1][2] to preserve the nature of the island.

I think Kiawah or Seabrook up the coast make for a more apt comparison.

> Hunting Island, SC as well - Fripp Island is a gated community.

Wait, Hunting Island and Fripp Island are discrete, separate islands with Hunting Island being a State Park. What's the problem with Hunting Island?

It is very tempting to believe that a monorepo will solve all your dependency issues. If you have a project that's say pure python consisting of a client app, a server app, and then a dozen libs, that might actually be true, since you force everyone to always have the latest version of everything, and always be running the latest version. Given a somewhat sane code base and smart IDE, refactoring is really easy and and updates everything atomically.

In reality you often have different components, some written in different languages, at a certain size, not everyone has all the build environment set up and might be working with older binaries, and now it's just as easy to have version mismatches, structural incompatibilities, etc. So you need a strong tooling and integration process to go along with your monorepo. The repo alone doesn't solve all your problems.

> I've spoken to people who are cheering for these kinds of effects. An actual quote: "I hope Trump does as much damage as possible."

And he will—to the people that voted for him. Not to the rich pushing globalization; they're going to make out quite well from him.

So on one hand, I do understand the desire for boat-rocking—but when the form they chose was a game of Russian Roulette against themselves, my sympathy rapidly disappears. They say they want to fuck things up, but they really just fucked themselves over, again. Which of course will make them angrier, and open them up to even stronger self-destruction in the future.

Power might be interesting too. Atm the UK is connected to the EU power grid through undersea cables. France exports a lot of energy into the UK, about 5% of total demand.

What will happen on that day? Will France and Netherlands cut the connection?

I wonder if it will be livestreamed when the workers in overalls appear with hacksaws and cut the copper.

For purposes of energy generation, I recommend stocking up on car generators (very good source for 12-14V energy) and Car-Inverters to get grid voltage (and maybe reading up on how to weld a handcrank to a car generator)
> I guess I should have said, "Putting things into a recently (last 30is years) constructed landfill with methane capture is not a problem for the environment.

Well, other than the problem that landfills will need to continue increase in size and consume the entire environment, and the environmental impact of converting land into landfills in the first place, that might be approximately correct.

> The point is putting things into landfills is a great alternative to just releasing them into the environment.

In the sense that being kicked in the genitals is a great alternative to having cigarettes put out on them, sure, but neither is good from an environmental point of view.

Well, for good performance, no it’s not like your desktop. The first generation or two were more like packaging experiments, like a toolkit for developing specialized silicon parts. Like things you’d sort of prototype on a phi and then build custom silicon for and if you used intels custom shop, maybe your firmware would be done. Or something like that. That is my guess, I think if I was intel, I’d be thinking of ways to corner the custom accelerator market as that’s where it looks like things are going. Phi lacked fpga type stuff though.

I think the deep learning stuff really took over though and people wanted phis for other things that it just doesn’t fit. It’s an even more odd looking beast through those lenses.
I believe you, but I stand by my previous point that paying the amount due on or before the due date would have never resulted in a lawsuit, especially from a firm like Capital One. Assuming it's a credit card (ca. 2010-2012) there would have been a slew of internet notifications not to mention the mailings if you were past due. I charged off a Citi card in 2009/2010 and can say from experience I had ample opportunity to make it right, I just didn't have the funds and negotiating a charge off with Citi directly resulted in the quickest end at the cost of a big credit hit and being unlikely to ever get credit from Citi ever again.

Edit: And this is a point that you've ignored in this entire thread, which leads me to believe you were paying below the minimum payment on a credit card. This is an excellent way to get an account sent to collections and not have liquid cash available to actually pay it off. The worst of both worlds.

Return value optimization is absolutely allowed in C, and ~all compilers do it.

I think some of them know that.

Would it really be any better if they'd not rioted in the voting booth? If anything the trends that are destroying the American working and middle class are accelerating. They have nothing to lose that wouldn't be lost anyway.

You're totally right that the result will just make them angrier and the cycle will repeat. This is how civilizations fall.

If liberals want to do anything about it they need to start actually giving a damn about America's poor and rapidly shrinking middle class in spite of the fact that they hold "backward and primitive" religious beliefs and are behind the times on social issues.

Here's a suggestion: if you want to go after backward illiberal social and cultural beliefs and policies, punch up. Criticize the rich and powerful advocates of those policies. Don't punch down at poor working class people who regardless of what they believe have no power to actually implement anything anyway.
I understand your experience, but there's plenty of cliff-like terrain that the lake(s) (Table Rock and Lake of the Ozarks) have. In a lot of parts of the lake, there's not a shore to beach on. The speed of these things in the water wouldn't outrun their ability to take on water, either.
I think for a lot of participants there does have to be a "loser" - it's been turned into a "culture war". That's where things like refusing to accept ECJ jurisdiction seem to be coming from. That's why there's such a nasty edge to the whole thing, and such a refusal to engage in compromises that might move the thing forwards.

I've just been on a 3 week trip to Japan and didn't see traditional Japanese dates used anywhere except on museum exhibits. Train tickets, bus tickets, hotel check-in / out dates, credit card receipts, tickets for various attractions etc. all displayed the date in ISO-8601 format.

It's interesting to ponder, but the traditional date format seems to have fallen out of use (probably with the advent of the computer era) and I genuinely don't think that this will be a problem.

Ask HN: How do you document your data (stores)?
With data coming in from many sources and distributed across different stores, it's getting tougher to find the right data and to know how to use it.

On a low level there is for example the "comment on" feature of SQL which won't help with other stores like AWS S3 and thus cannot be a generic solution. Then there are data catalog tools like Azure Data Catalog or Collibra Catalog which seem to be geared towards business users and not as much to developers.

I think a good solution needs to support discovery of data (e.g. through searchability and tagging) and allow to explain how to interpret the data (e.g. through detailed comments).

What are your best practices or recommendations on tools to use?
Will of the people?
European citizens, even with the permanent residence that you can get after 5 years of Uk residence, could not vote.
Uk citizens living abroad for more than 2 or 3 years couldn’t vote.
Indians and all the other from commonwealth could vote.
Indians, without having the slightest idea of what is Europe, voted en masse for leave.
Obviously the two other groups would have voted for remain.
So there was no “will of the people” expressed, it was just a rigged referendum.
This idea was one of the strands of the biggest, hugest conspiracy theory of the 90's variously known as the Inslaw scandal, The Octopus, etc., which pulled into itself events surrounding a murder involving an obscure (23 member, iirc) group of Native Americans, the Cabazon:

> Some believe Alvarez had discovered money-skimming by outsiders helping the tiny Cabazon Band of Mission Indians manage its fledgling casino. Others suspect, however, that he had stumbled onto plans for a top-secret weapons deal on reservation land.

> Witnesses and court documents diverge considerably, however, on whether a secret partnership between the Cabazon tribe and the private security firm Wackenhut Corp. was a deal to provide security services, build a munitions arsenal or sell weapons to the Nicaraguan Contras, a U.S.-backed rebel group. [1]

Trouble is, as far as your question goes, various government entities including the Justice Dept. and the CIA, etc. were the ones taking advantage of the territorial immunity of the tribe concerned (in various of the conspiracy scenarios, that is, which I in no way endorse, though I still read up on it when possible)

If you're interested, for an overview of the wider ramifications, [2] & [3] are not-bad entry points.

in school, i took a wonderful class about computer music, taught by the eccentric composer and charismatic professor Dr. Rodney Waschka III. he dedicated one class to the topic of royalties and the three major artist guilds. we learned that any business that wants to play the radio will usually just pay subscriptions to all three guilds rather than keeping track of royalties owed to individual artists.

when Waschka organized campus concerts in this niche and highly academic field of art, these concerts would naturally be performances of pieces written by himself and his colleagues from other universities... so the university paid royalties to Waschka and his colleagues, who would then use the money to commission each other to compose new pieces.
