True, I know US authorities are loath to take children away, it takes alot to lose your parental rights. Usually they are surrendered by the parent.

I think the poster above you is a sensationalist, but those sort of things, and the things happening in the article are based on one simple fact: We don't value children.

We will spend money to lock up a juvenile (or adult) before we give resources to poor parents or poor children. We get bad enough results when parents are struggling financially and mentally to provide for their own children. Usually there is some soft of biological imperative compelling them.
When you take a stranger and put them under the same sort of pressure while expecting them to care for children of others, who may already have significant behavioral problems, you are asking too much.

This is obviously going to attract the wrong sort of people, and the right sort of people will be influenced by them and frustrated in their own right.

It sounds like this school was a world unto itself. Kids did not participate in activities away from it. This is exactly the sort of thing that brings out the worst in people. I know this offends homeschoolers, but every child should have some outside authority they trust. Those authorities should be a mix of religious and secular.
Rather yes than no.

I tested DDG vs Yandex/Google/Bing and I'm pretty sure Yandex acts as "main" (if not "single") search provider for my language (or whatever heuristics DDG uses). For some senseless Ukrainian keywords Yandex shows almost identical to DDG results, while Google/Bing - mostly different.

In 2017 Yandex (among some other Russian companies) got ban in Ukraine and access to its services was blocked. Roughly at the same time Ukraine region have disappeared from DDG ("kl=ua-uk" URL parameter is still mentioned on search params page[1], but not working).

These events are likely connected. Furthermore, if DDG is just an aggregator, why a year later they can't switch to Google as local search provider and bring regional search for Ukraine back? Google local search results are at least as relevant as Yandex were. Or there are some hidden contractual obligations, partnerships, royalties directly from Yandex etc.? This looks unclear and suspicious to me.

>A drug this serious should require a stern talking-to by the doc and written consent/understanding of the risks by the patient before it's prescribed.

I believe the drug acquired the FDA black-box warning only very recently. Many doctors were not aware of the danger.

CBP expands partnership with airlines on facial recognition
I think Australia received too many nationalistic Chinese, "They are not sending their best!" in Trump's voice, the best and brightest Chinese usually go to NA or EU, Australia is really the last resort as a Western country.

These Chinese generally are rich kids who only want the foreign diploma, and stash family wealth away from China.

So, good luck with that Chinese influence.

I have a thing in mind for a while now. We all want to make everything better, everything equal etc etc. But I so often saw a mean-levelling effect so that yes, more people are X' but X' is now 50% of what X was when only a few people were X.

Everybody is able to, and not more people want to.

More and more I think we need space, differences, voids to create attraction poles so that those who really deeply wants to be musician, moviemaker, writer, will get there and it will be meaningful.

As noted, the papers are paywalled.

My criticism is actually less about the language that the quality of the study. However, without reading the actually papers, I cannot be sure it is the study that is flawed.
Currently building a small (real small by US standards) 95 sqm. passive house in Romania. I dared to do this by myself as I'm a trained structural engineer (now a SW developer).

I can not emphasize enough on the energy efficiency of the house as energy costs are high. Take a look on how and why to build a passive house, it will change your life.

I can take a look here and see if you have one in your area... if it's a certified one you can visit it between 9-11 of Nov., this is a world wide event.

> Appeals to judge based on subtext is often an excuse to construct a strawman.

I disagree. Subtext and context are immensely important when judging a message like "all lives matter". Judging it based solely on the literal meaning is the strawman.

> Nothing about "all lives matter" says that all races suffer equally. Nothing about it says that "black lives matter" is denying the worth of non-black lives.

"All Lives Matter" came about as a response specifically to "Black Lives Matter". What other possible reason could you have for saying "All Lives Matter" in response to "Black Lives Matter" if you don't think "Black Lives Matter" denies the worth of non-black lives?

I don't understand why you're so set on interpreting both "Black Lives Matter" and "All Lives Matter" as if they only meant what they literally said.

Nope, it was the fault of the driver, he has to let the cyclist go. It is how it works here.
Hmm, maybe it's just me but I don't see social media that way. I mean sure there is a large portion dedicated to that, but I tend to think there is an even larger portion dedicated to creation, sharing incredible things happening in the world, and otherwise content that I would have to go out of my way to realize were happening. The ability to see in real-time when rocket launches happen, when new discoveries are made, to learn about anything you could possibly ever want in a curated feed. I have learned so many random skills from watching YouTube or joined monthly workout or yoga challenges. There is a lot to not like about social media, but that seems more like a curation issue and learning when to disconnect from tech and go outside, or try something new.
Google Maps for bikes is notoriously bad around Amsterdam, though. Open Streetmap is generally better. Google tends to avoid bike-only routes and prefers to send you along car routes.

(It's not as bad as it once was, but it still has the annoying tendency to avoid the Sarphatistraat, for example.)
You're correct - I read your original comment as "What self hosted alternatives exist?". My bad.
It's fairly common (at least among the security community) to post a hash of a claim to Twitter, that they can reference in the future to prove that they had X information on Y date without disclosing the actual information until later.

For example, I could post the hash "9712f2488fa00fc5b11b657995ac10c9" to Twitter and then after the prediction comes to pass, I can reveal that the hash was for the phrase "Pittsburgh Steelers will Defeat New Orleans Saints 30-21 in Super Bowl LIII", proving that I had some knowledge or prediction that I didn't want to reveal at the time of the prediction.

I am a computational biologist with a heavy emphasis on the data analysis. I did try Jupyter a couple of years ago and here are my concerns with it, compared to my usual flow (Pycharm + pure python + pickle to store results of heavy processing).

1) Extracting functions is harder
2) Your git commits become completely borked
3) Opening some data-heavy notebooks is neigh impossible once they have been shut down
4) Import of other modules you have in local is pretty non-trivial.
5) Refactoring is pretty hard
6) Sphinx for autodoc extraction is pretty much out of the picture
7) Non-deterministic re-runs - depending on the cell execution order you can get very different results. That's an issue when you are coming back to your code a couple of months later and try to figure what you did to get there.

There are likely work-arounds for most of these problems, but the issue is that with my standard workflow they are non-issues to start with.

In my experience, Jupyter is pretty good if you rely only on existing libraries that you are piecing together, but once you need to do more involved development work, you are screwed.
Will recipients need to treat these outlays as taxable income? If so, it’s worth bearing in mind that many of the eligible people will face a very high marginal tax rate [0] if they lose access to government problems as a result, especially if one or both of the chosen states didn’t expand Medicaid under the ACA [1].

I did nothing but Java from around 1998 to 2002 and then again around 2006-2008, and there is definitely a deep satisfaction when you have built your giant statically typed castle and compile it and then it runs the first time. In Java though, obviously the verbosity that implies, particularly when I was using it pre-generics, most certainly erased any productivity gains and made for code that was very difficult for new people to understand, tests were in particular extremely hard to write. So at least with Java's widely criticized model, it was sort of nice-ish but hard to say it was worth it.

What Python is doing with typing I think is going to be amazing though. Just not sure if I'll have time to embrace it fully within my own projects.
So, what's the worst case scenario? Let's assume that Google News is rigged against, say, Breitbart, either because Google has its own political views, or because Google is fighting fake news, or for some other reason.

So that would make Google News... a news organization? That hardly sounds illegal.
The geography is fine, really. LA is flat and has decent-ish weather (too hot at times though)

The buildings and motorways are an absolutely hellscape of trash design, though. Whole damn city is an asphalt desert with a building sprinkled here and there. Why? Because laws force businesses and homes to have parking that often takes up more space than the building itself.

There are many conventions held around technologies no longer in common use, but which still have an avid following of those that still find usefulness or enjoyment from them.

For example, conferences around the Amiga and the Commodore 64 are still going on in 2018. I would honestly not be surprised if there was truly a conference dedicated to the Gopher protocol out there.

If there was, I would totally want to read about it here. :)

> and turned it into a political argument about the primarily financial concern of school choice?

A conversation about social media and its effect on people and our culture is political from the get-go. Having conversations that don't touch on politics is hard and be careful when you think you've succeeded. Folks are absolutely right to point out the consequences of voucher program when they're presented as a solution to problems.

That is, I agree with you here:

> But let's not pretend that they address these emotional concerns that are causing more and more teens to shy away from social media. It's just silliness to do that.

but want to caution people to think twice when they believe a discussion isn't political because it almost always is, technology included.

Take a good look at this deep dive on the Samsung M3 core. Its an ARMv8 processor, which is a fairly orthodox RISC in its capabilities. A RISC-V processor of similar capabilities would have a similar structure. The ISA simply doesn't help all that much at the very high-end.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/13199/hot-chips-2018-samsungs...

The advantage of working with RISC-V over ARM right now is that you can configure a RV core to have far less capability than an ARM core. You can license RTL from SiFive for RV64imc (64-bit address and data, baseline integer instruction set, hardware multiply, and 16-bit compressed instructions). Such a core simply does not exist in the ARM marketplace today, partially because NEON is mandatory in ARMv8.
Trying to apply today's moral standards to a time centuries ago is a fool's errand.
I think that's a property of having experience doing something, rather than of having done that particular instance of it.

For example: I re-did some grouting in my bathroom, and only after that started to notice the imperfections in other areas not by me. Bits of tile I'd seen everyday for a years, that only after I had experience grouting I realised had grout smeared over them and let to dry.

>haven't found any compelling evidence

you really don't see how this is circular? how do you feel about this paraphrasing of climate change denial?

"I've read a good amount of the literature on this subject, and haven't found any compelling evidence that climate change is an anthropogenically driven process."

or this one of heliocentrism

"I've read a good amount of the literature on this subject, and haven't found any compelling evidence that the sun is at the center of the solar system."

or this one of

you get my point? "compelling" is personal.

I struggle with scaling up my business. I have been working from home for the past 10 years and I have websites that generate ok money ($100K/y). My struggle is I just can't get myself to hire my first full time employee. I tried it many years ago but after facing the headache of hiring, dealing with attrition, training, etc, it took away all my focus from work.

I feel management is a skill I just don't have. Also working from home, staying with my family i now lack the motivation to get up on time and commute, go to an office, etc.

Yet my business is as is for the last many years. I've tried hiring freelancers and VAs but that too never lasts for more that 2 months. Hiring freelance programmers has also never worked for me and in the end I always think it would have been easier if I had done it in the first place.

So that is my biggest struggle for many years now :(

The amount of money you can earn as a contractor depends heavily on your brand. From what I've heard from contractors, their playbook seems to be the following:

1. Work to increase strength of brand to get more leads.

2. When number of leads exceeds capacity, increase prices until number of leads are manageable.

3. Go to step 1.

The hard thing here is of course to increase the strength of your brand. The easiest way to do that is to pidgeonhole yourself into a very narrow area of specialization (SEO, effectively), attend / speak at relevant conferences, write books / articles about it.

People lament the absence of spontaneous conversation in their lives, but they don't realize that it's because they don't ever make eye contact with anyone else around them. There are tons of people everywhere who love to chat in line, or waiting for a bus, or sitting in waiting rooms. It's how we used to pass time before we bought a black mirror to entertain ourselves.
The New Reading Environment
The Dennett paper I've linked refers directly to the Minsky paper of the article, it quotes it at some length.

The content is certainly critical of the notion of a persistent object which helps bucket knowledge.

From Minsky's paper "Here is the essence of the theory: When one encounters a new situation (or makes a substantial change in one's view of the present problem) one selects from memory a structure called a Frame. This is a remembered framework to be adapted to fit reality by changing details as necessary.", Dennett basically says you've replaced the problem of "Which things am I likely to encounter in this situation" with "Which frame best represents the situation I've just arrived at".
Why not put a screen shot ?
I don't understand why this is bubbling up to the top of hacker news. I presume it is because of high demand and hopes for a native graphing tool, but is there some other reason I am missing? I ask because the project looks to be very early-stage. I see only very simplistic box-and-arrows charts which wouldn't be sufficient for anything but the most basic of ideas -- certainly not for publications or a professional presentation. And the information about its future path and goals is slight-to-none. The team has a very long road ahead to replace full-featured products like LucidChart or OmniGraffle.
