Ask HN: Is it unethical to finish project from a company that never finished it?
I worked on a mobile application for a project that I was really invested in but after graduating, different developers with different coding beliefs - the project just fell apart. I still love the idea and put so much time into it. Has a lot of potential I think. Can I just complete it on my own. Do I even have an obligation to ask them if I can do it? When is their idea no longer "thiers". Also did not like the direction they were going with the business.

Nearly every city in the world has built infrastructure in lockstep with growth for their entire existence. Thats simply how its done. When you have existing demand for more infrastructure, you build it.

Maybe you could claim that it is better to provide infrastructure before people, but it is actually the master planned cities that have yet to succeed, not the other way around. It's just too damn expensive to provide infrastructure for people that don't exist yet, and that deters people from moving there.

A good trick if you have trouble striking up conversation or finding what to talk about: FORD - Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams. Once you have a conversation going, just let it flow of course - but it's a trick to get past the initial "hello" stage.
The other browsers should counter with a message of their own: "Ignore Microsoft Edge's pop-up spam, our browser is really better. Tell Nadella to shove it."
They also comingle "Shipped and sold by Amazon" with 3rd party shipped by amazon goods when you buy the "shipped and sold by amazon" item. All goods where there's a 3rd party seller are at risk of receiving garbage goods, which is to say everything.
I think Netflix will have its Amazon moment[1] very soon. They will realize that their library is very unique (original shows) and use that to their advantage to force ads onto users.

I think the fear is that troll law firms will sprout up that get really good and nailing smaller companies for a minor, relatively harmless infraction.
Right, apart from the fact that this was ~20 years ago and they've been losing marketshare ever since, and completely failed at mobile.

They're still attacking the competition but they're not doing a very good job of it.
> Even with odd hours, people will gladly do the job if the pay is good.

Definitly true. However good pay costs a lot of money, so less care workers can be hired with the current budget. Either you have to spend more money or accept a reduction in the level of care.
FWIW I found the paper extremely readable and very accessible.

Does your grad program require a theory course and a PL course?
You're changing your argument and obviously that's not a solution for all. There aren't universities near many rural areas. You're basically saying college is only practical for upper-middle class and above--that's not beneficial to society or a healthy economy. Higher education should be affordable so everyone can go, which is positive to society and the economy.

This is so classically a big difference between men and women. Most guys here will laugh at the advice because they never think like this - just turn up and drink a beer. Women know better.
your understanding is roughly correct.

I met an independent researcher (Bob Edgar) who had sold his company to Intel and was bored. He started to attend seminars at Berkeley to find people who wanted his help, met a few folks, and ended up being one of the top people in the field of protein sequence alignment. At first, my advisor helped him by giving him an arbitrary appointment at Berkeley because otherwise journals wouldnt accept his papers because he was "independent". Eventually he reached the point where he could publish with his email address as affiliation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15034147). Of course, these days, he'd just publish to biorxiv and put the code in github.
People's idea of what "over forty" looks like is just a caricature, fed by confirmation bias.
My mind jumped to Canada when I read the above comment, but really there are a number of countries that fit the mould. Most western countries have a special levy on blank media, including all EU member states except Luxembourg. I don't know which countries don't prohibit the downloading copyrighted material similarly to how they prohibit sharing that media, but Canada is one of them.

This is also true, I certainly think if you're a white middle class person taking a knife to a friends you're going to get off easier than an someone from a ethnic minority in Tower Hamlets.

It also results in insane things like this [1]. I'm not sure if there's a better way though, it seems much like democracy it's the best of a bad bunch.

Git noob here, what does this do? I have read the docs on apply but I don't really understand patches. It sounds like you bundle a bunch of commits and allow someone to use them. But in that case, wuldnt you just push a branch and then the person who needs it can pull and merge it or rebase onto it or cherry pick it?

I've seen the debate and some politician said that big platforms should be stopped. Which is why I thought that why not work on creating an environment that supports competition rise from the EU?

The article lost its credibility in the opening paragraphs.
Perhaps the most disastrous side effects of articles 11 and 13:

A better idea is to not develop insulin resistance in the first place and improve sensitivity.I eat 85% carb diet. My blood glucose barely moves up after eating a bunch of straight sugar, then goes back to fasting level after an hour and a half.
Vaping is a gateway for some who would not have smoked to begin doing so. Some of them would have picked up smoking if the products did not exist.
Not all; some who vape would not have smoked. And it's also a release for some who do smoke to quit.

It's very difficult to measure these populations and movements, and also difficult to make statements about the magnitude and worth of their effects.

Regardless, the goal is to reduce the ingress of new smokers, and if possible to increase the success rate of those who wish to quit smoking. The FDA can make progress on this by policies that reduce kids picking up vaping and using proven methods to stop them from picking up smoking.
I'm taking your very literal expression "mentally ill" at face value, as I do your other words. I haven't assumed a single thing, nor have I been injecting "my own meaning".

Google has done this before. When they blocked Hangouts in non-Chrome browsers, spoofing your User Agent would allow it to load and, probably predictably since I'm making this comment, Hangouts worked absolutely fine in Firefox. Not sure if it still works these days, but I don't use Hangouts anymore.

There's also the whole Shadow DOM v0 stuff with YouTube that more or less artificially slows down rendering in non-Chrome browsers.

Google is just more subtle about it.
TV, storefront and voting. The latter can then be abused to pretend the public agrees.
I agree with jmull here. In my personal opinion things like intermittent fasting might be a lot more broadly applicable to the elderly than exercising 4x a week or becoming a triathlete.
But states can just decide. They usually leave it to the cities, but all they have to do is pass legislation and it will override all the city rules.
There's the security issue of general VM escape, and sidechannel attacks across VMs (eg Spectre).

And of course you want redundancy against losing an entire machine (say the PSU fails and overvolts the 12v rail). But more centralized ad-hoc infrastructure should be easier to grok/manage/backup against this.

My new router is pfsense running on KVM/Debian on an i5-4430. If I start running more Internet-facing services from home, they'll probably be on that box rather than my Libreboot KGPE.

FWIW, Newegg has been clearing out those KGPE boards, occasionally selling them for $80 - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yvJwrH/asus-motherboard-kgp... (the last one was on flash.newegg.com and so doesn't show up on PCPP).

Non-high-density G34 heatsinks are a bit tough to find these days, but there's a thread where someone details the steps of mounting a 212 Evo. The Raijintek Aidos worked for me just by fashioning the appropriate length of steel bar, drilling four holes (two for the G34 mount, two for securing the existing Raijintek piece), and adding the appropriate screws/springs. The fan mounting on the Aidos does suck though.
I can think of a few but does anyone have a good reason to this over coderunner? I've been using it for years on my mac (may be enough of a reason for most people) and I love it. This looks like but I'm hesitant to give up native UI. That said this would give me access anywhere to my REPL (running it with http auth on a VM at home) but IDK if I really need that feature.

With hearthstone, can't you also "sell" any card you have for in-game currency, in addition to getting currency when you obtain a duplicate? In overwatch, you just get currency for duplicates (or randomly from a box).
Rock climbers experience this to a deadly degree. Amazon sells critical life-saving equipment for climbers and mix sales of quality gear and cheap knock-offs.

The problem is that a lot of young climbers are ised to using Amazon for everything and aren't aware of the problem.

Decentralized Web Summit keynote by Cory Doctorow (he starts ~07:00)
Distance costs money or time (basically the same thing at the macro level). When you have things spread out people need to eat the large opportunity cost of forgoing jobs or other opportunities that are far away or spent a lot of time and money commuting. If cities prioritized making it easy to commute in and out that would make distance cost less, effectively the same as increasing density. The problem is that there's many decades of pent up demand for both housing and transit infrastructure. There's no cheap way out of the situation. It's going to take a hell of a lot of either/both in order to measurably improve people's quality of life.
It's funny how many laws meant to punish the mega-corps, as they get designed with mega-corps entirely in mind, end up hurting small/medium businesses (and future mega-crops) and further solidifying the mega-corps position in the market.

I don't think it's surprising the global economy is littered with long-standing monopoly with little competition. It's not merely economies of scale, vertical integration, and other benefits of size, but because the business environment perpetually gets harder and harder for entrepreneurs to operate in.

The growth in the size of modern state-capitalist nation-states naturally coincides with the growth in monopolistic mega corporations - at the expense of things that have made capitalism so powerful and effective (competition checking abuse of customers, rapid innovation, etc).

I didn't say banning cigarettes. The question was "what else could the industry do?". And I wrote the best they could do is to shut down and do something useful.
Fair, but the root reason for many of the core zoning codes is that the WW2 and Boomer generations felt that cars were the future and that low density car-oriented development was the only kind of thing they wanted to be allowed near them, mostly for aesthetic reasons and also because they perceived (accurately at the beginning) that “those people,” meaning criminals but mostly just low income people, wouldn’t be able to follow, and thus they’d have their idillic suburban life. So when we examine those root causes it turns out that they’re pretty crap and we don’t need to keep them around.

Just like any 90ies Disney movie:

Want vs Need

We want fancy stuff, or at least stuff that look fancy/luxurious/desirable.

If we were rational, small cars is actually what we need (or no car at all in fact, but that's another matter).

However I'm wondering if when it came to buying the actual car, people will tend to follow the "need" or the "want" or something in between.
I agree that it's typical for authors to cherry pick the samples used to illustrate their major message most forcefully.

That's why discriminating readers (like us) should rigorously overlook pretty pictures and instead look only at: 1) the amount of separation between groups (big effect?), 2) the stat. significance across the given population (consistent signal?), 3) the constraints the authors used to create that population (representative of the real world?), and 4) whether the discriminating signal they chose selectively detects the causal effect they propose.

No picture can do all of that.
Because you need to catch infringing works, while only "avoiding" to catch non-infringing works, the result of that phrasing means those filters will have a high false-positive rate. Like content ID strikes on white noise...
>But it's undeniable that those traditional gender roles remain all too prevalent.

Agreed - and my point is this is codified in law, even in my nominally politically progressive state. As many of the other posters in this thread have pointed out, this isn't just sour grapes, but rather a bankruptcy-producing problem perhaps on the same order as our systemic problems with health-induced financial calamity. It is an example of systemic government failure.

It undoes the change made to `somefile` in `COMMIT_ID`.

Details: `git show <COMMIT_ID>` gives you the patch identified by COMMIT_ID. Appending ` -- somefile` narrows that patch down to only include the specified path.

The `-R` option to `git apply` tells it to apply the patch in reverse.

Thus, "undo the changes in `somefile` from this commit".
