Of course. These should require licences as well. I might even go a step further and ban alcohol and tobaco from being sold in supermarkets but only in the same stores where you could buy the other drugs.

Ask HN: Could the lack of seasons in California be the reason of productivity
We here in Europe where we experience seasons, usually during winter I become more depressed.

Could the combination of colleges and universities on the latest research , concentration of specialized and professional teens, the wealthy VC funders and the lack of this seasonal depression be the cause of this great leap and advancements in short period of time? ( I know its crazy to think and I mean the California region)
Oh, they can. See Intel Management Engine.

> Order of magnitude errors aren't that hard, it is improbable that a hospital will need to prescribe enough drugs for a small horse.

Weight range in children's hospitals ranges from 100s of grams to 100s of kilos - that's three orders of magnitude right there.

> Doctors seem to run too much on autopilot, they leave discretion to laboratories who give recommended ranges for various hormones/vitamins/chemicals in the blood.

Both population biochemistry and laboratory assays vary between hospitals and labs. So it's actually really important that we interpret biochemical results in relation to the normal ranges provided to us by the lab. Also, those normal ranges are not just set by the lab without thought, there are pathologists and clinical chemists involved in the process.

I think we think about these numbers a whole lot more than you think we think about them.

And two more for plural "you" since (ihr and overloaded Sie).

I like having a second person plural. I sometimes say "you guys" (although this is becoming less acceptable) or "you all" since we don't have one.
You probably would get banned by Github if you use this script.
It comes up quite a bit if you have repeated data in batches where the batches are a first class concept. Any relations need to be qualified by both normal fk id and batch id, or else you bring back across all batches.

Think something like measurements samples that come in an envelope with metadata, or account updates that come in a statement, that kind of thing.

It's insane that with this proliferation of serialization libraries none of them are still usable for real-world work.

Here in 2018, we still have to roll our own.

Libnop has the right idea, but still fails on two important points:

a) Versioning is a must-have feature. (And no, some weird non-standard 'table' type is not a replacement.)

b) The wire protocol needs to be human-readable ASCII. (Or at least a human-readable ASCII with no performance degradation option must be available.)
>When you need undo and redo, knowing about command pattern made it easy

Undo and redo are easy even if you don't know about "command pattern"s. Every computing problem can be solved using a virtualization layer, and that's all the command pattern is. It's not even a pattern, really... it's just the way computing works.

Windows 7 and Vista did not get a ported version of Windows store nor a ported version of uwp apps. While win32 can do both platforms. That was what killed the windows store.

Windows 8 1st edition was just a start menu with a uwp focus, with a desktop as a third class citizen. When win8 start menu with uwp could have been offered as a single app for Windows 7 platform. That would have been a great buzz pavong the way for Windows phone and windows rt.
That's for reporting someone who is actually exploiting the loophole. I think OP is proposing a bounty for finding and reporting loopholes before anyone takes advantage of them.

In other words, make it more profitable to tell the government what to look for instead of taking advantage of it yourself.

ARE THE CONGOLESE GETTING THE MESSAGE THAT EBOLA IS a BIOLOGICAL WEAPON?
Yeah. Compare how this article describes its anonymous sources with the Bloomberg one. It makes it clear that their sources were directly involved in investigating the claims Bloomberg made - including a "senior security engineer directly involved in Apple’s internal investigation" - and that their claims were based on that internal investigation. The Bloomberg article just refers vaguely to "senior insiders" who knew about Apple finding malicious chips on Supermicro motherboards... somehow.
Nice wrap up... let’s see how this plays out.
The good thing with all this fuss (even if the spy chip is a lie), is that hopefully a lot of companies will rethink and double check their suppliers and have an extra look at their network traffic and firewalls.

Discovered Banksy many years ago and I have to say: if there is a true artist it's him. Or maybe it's them? Still think it's very plausible that Banksy is a collective.

The creativity and ingenuity just seems too much for a single person.
Code is the best documentation, it's what I seem to always end up consulting. And always in sync.

Plus some guide to the overall architecture. Now... a pattern language was meant to provide this, but failed. Perhaps, since a program is a theory, to understand the structure of the code, you must understand the structure of the problem/domain... and there's no shortcut. But even if so, a helpful guide seems possible.

Autogenerated docs can help navigate the codebase, but tools can autonavigate just as well. They could show the overall code structure, but don't. They could be in sync, but aren't.

A minimal but complete (all-steps) example, partly to learn from. and build on, and also to assure me that it works.

Idea: I keep kinda expecting the text alongside each file/dir on github to be a comment on that file/dir (instead of its latest commit message). Could be incredibly valuable for navigating a codebase and grokking its architecture. (Though prone to desync.) I also like the format of a commit message for this: <50 char summary line, optional further lines.

Big money art is not just an investment vehicle, it allows collectors to do things that would be difficult or illegal with other assets.

For example:
You and a few of your rich buddies buy up as much artwork as you can from a famous but not too famous dead artist. Say, 10 pieces at a million a piece. I sell my friend one of them for 1.5 million and another for 1.7. I buy his for 2 and 3 million. Repeat a few times, and now you've established a pattern that this artist's work is becoming more valuable. After several years, you all sell your paintings for 5-10 million a piece.
WebP is reasonably fast, this can't be said about the other image formats. I tested WebP, FLIF and BPG when I was looking for a PNG alternative and WebP seemed to be the best choice all-around. The only downside of WebP is that it doesn't work with images larger than 16383 pixels in width or height.
Alexa, play Despacito.
The art isn't just in the artifact per se, it's in the causal history of it (and surrounding it), and the messages that can be interpreted from those histories. I wish we actually had two separate words for this - one for "art as in, I look at it and it looks moving", another for "art as in, the whole causal context of this work is interesting". Works are usually a mix of the two. Banksy's work was good in both categories, and just gained a lot in the latter. Compare to e.g. Mona Lisa, which is crap in the first category (both absolutely and relative to much better works that can be produced by anyone with a smartphone camera), and its whole value stems from the latter category - the history and context of the work.

As someone who makes most of his money from non-profit organizations, I can say that "competitive donating" is a sport which many of the older rich people will play.

The Prolog Story (2010)

I was interested, so I dug a little. Here is my conclusion:
While Amazon continues to lower the cost of fulfillment through management and the development of new technology that is driving operational efficiencies, Deliverr tries to lower fulfillment cost by gaining access to excess warehouse capacity for pennies on the dollar.

The below pricing shows that Deliverr is able to drive value by offering competitive pricing on the fastest shipping times over other third party logistics providers (3PL). They claim they are able to achieve this cost savings through their "machine learning and predictive intelligence" which they use to determine which of its warehouses to store its client’s goods. However, they go on to say they typically only store the good's in 3-5 warehouses. This means any 3PL should be able to compete on pricing for "2 days shipping" by having 3-5 properly placed warehouses.

It seems the key cost saver for Deliverr is their outsourcing of the fulfillment to the excess capacity of the third party fulfillment centers. Using a similar model as Uber.

According to this article that states the amount of warehouse space that goes unused on any given day is 4 billion square feet, or roughly 30 percent of total warehousing: https://www.pymnts.com/matchmakers/2017/warehouse-space-matc.... If deliver is able to unlock only 1.7% of this space for pennies on the dollar, they will achieve FBA warehousing scale (77 million square feet: https://archpaper.com/2017/08/architecture-fulfillment-cente...) and FBA pricing.

In determining if they will be able to gain access to the 1.7% of excess warehousing and maintain SLA's, it is interesting to see what the current warehousing market is in the US. According to this report: https://www.logisticsmgmt.com/article/cbre_research_shows_th..., it seems the majority of this excess warehouse space is most likely not well suited to efficiently deliver on the type of fulfillment Deliverr is advertising.
"In data analysis for 56 major U.S. markets, a key finding from CBRE showed that the majority of facilities built before the mid-2000s have certain limitations that hinder e-commerce distribution usage, including low ceilings, small footprints, uneven floors, and inadequate docking."

The article goes on to mention that only 11% of total warehousing in the US (1 billion square-feet) was built within the past 10 years. It does not mention how much of this space is not being occupied on a daily basis. It would seem Deliverr will need to access about 7% of this warehousing, at a fraction of it's 3PL rate, to reach FBA scale.

Unlike Uber drivers, let's hope Deliverr's fulfillment partners are pricing their excess capacity appropriately so as to be able to afford to pay their employees a living wage.

Deliverr pricing example for an iMac: https://deliverr.com/fulfillment-cost/B071G2S8LZ/apple-imac-...

Amazon Multi-channel:

Standard: $29.07

3 Day: $30.07

2 Day: $30.07

Deliverr:

Standard: $26.73

3 Day: $29.70

2 Day: $29.86

Typical 3PL:

Standard: $19.74

3 Day: $83.29

2 Day: $83.29

The funniest part is that people would lose their minds if this happened to a Picasso.
The table approach is fairly flexible. Both Protos and FlatBuffers do more or less functionally similar things. What specific deficiency do you see?

Take a look at the binary format spec:

https://github.com/google/libnop/blob/master/docs/format.md

The format is designed specifically to provide enough structural information that the binary format can be parsed without knowing the original structure definitions. This makes it easy to write a binary-to-string converter than can grok any payload with minimal complexity. Message observability was a primary goal during development.

Patterns (in the gof sense) failed due to over creation of new “patterns” that were not general solutions to a general class of problems.

They failed because many developers decided that the correct way to design software was to choose patterns and then build their software around them.

They failed because they were given these excessively complex definitions that meant things were woefully misused (“Singleton” pattern is particularly terrible example)

They failed because people tried to use them as something other than a general vocabulary to discuss software.
I'm honestly struck by how _cheap_ this piece was sold for. Banksy is a household name unlike most contemporary artists. Pieces by Jeff Koons have sold for 50 million but Banksy struggles to cross the 1 million mark? I'm surprised that there are no tech millionaires or Wall Street Titans buying up the pieces.
Any time we find ourselves benefactors of evil, we must advocate against it and thank anyone who may have explained to us where we stand.

i think what communists usually mean by a stateless society is that there's no formal document or structure that authorizes a concentration or monopoly of power within any institution.
Can you back up the claim “overwhelming majority” with numbers or some studies?
>If there is real scarcity because of climate change or other widespread disaster, how much can a piece of this ‘quality’ be sold for? A loaf of bread, or less?

First, if it's just from climate change, it will be gradual increase in scarcity and all kinds of methods of growing food become viable as the price of bread increases. So unless climate change actually makes Banksy undesirable, it will still be worth more loaves of bread than one person could eat in a lifetime.

Second, if it's an acute wide-spread disaster, the only thing that becomes relevant is food/water/shelter /weapons/first-aid. Not only would a Banksy be worthless, but so would the world's biggest diamond as well as the cure for cancer.

So it's a meaningless comparison just based on the fact that you don't like rich people out-bidding each other over art (and subsequently supporting artists).

Once you start down the road of being dictator of spending on expensive things that aren't solving starvation, all kinds of things like space exploration, the development of the internet, etc all become "sorry effects". Guess how many villages could be fed on the budget of the Apollo program.
Likewise, I always consult the GitHub docs (usually README.md) and code rather than see the website (which is sometimes out of sync) but usually projects which do not have a dedicated website do not have good READMEs either. This is my experience with full-stack JavaScript libraries/plugins.
No hardware: no software. Nobody wrote Google until cheap servers were available, and nobody made antibody treatments for cancer until cheap protein synthesis became available. This paper is cute and fun but ultimately worthless intellectual masturbation.
You can't not use patterns, period. You can only be intentional or accidental in how you apply them, and careful or careless in your intentional application as well.

The problem with patterns is, as with most things in tech, relying on them like they are magic and using them to show off rather than simply being pragmatic. The other big problem is viewing the GoF book as the bible and the end of the discussion about patterns rather than just the start of a conversation. The GoF list of patterns includes a bunch of workarounds for limitations in Java which are simply not applicable in other languages. It also missed plenty of patterns that are useful in other kinds of programs. And it can give the impression that in any decent system you need to cram every conceivable pattern when the reality is that most of the time you're going to be heavily leaning on a tiny handful of patterns.

Edit: some other issues at play here are not doing the work to identify and document existing patterns, especially bad or less good ones (like big ball of mud) and developing a culture of using pattern language to describe existing codebases.

Also, it's a bit rich to talk about patterns "failing" when every modern language leans heavily on iterators, decorators, commands, delegates, facades, and factories. The heavy lifting blue collar patterns are out there doing the work without getting the recognition.

In the art world, Banksy is seen largely as trite and is known to attract new and dumb money. If you've seen his film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", Mr. Brainwash, the aspiring artist he portrays, is quite similar to how anyone who knows or cares a little about art sees Banksy himself.

It isn't just "big money" saying this - ask any cool (poor) artists or curators if they like Banksy and you'll be laughed out of the room. He's the Nickelback of contemporary art. It's not because of his message - lots of other artists make biting, hilarious attacks on global capitalism and consumer culture, if that's what you're into.

Also, as others in this thread have pointed out, practices like this shredding don't actually devalue the piece, and may in fact increase it's value. The shredding is an empty gesture signifying the rejection of a culture that the piece is very much a part of. If a piece is just an investment vehicle, what effect does humiliating the owner of the piece have on the piece's function as an investment vehicle, if it does not lower the value? They (allegedly) own the art only for it's value, so how does this strike back at them?

If you want to look getting money out of art, you might start by looking at the early performance art tradition and what it achieved in terms of decommodification. Pay special attention to the amount of lying and inconsistent storytelling. Ask yourself whether "Exit Through The Gift Shop" (grossed 3MM in USA box office and set Banksy on the track to these $1mm sales) achieves any of the same decommodification.

> However, readability at the call site (e.g. Foo(&bar) might mutate bar, whereas Foo(bar) should not) is still considered more valuable in a large scale codebase

but does it make it any more readable ? if you use the pointer anywhere else and have it as a variable then suddenly you don't distinguish anymore between a pointer and a reference. It would frankly make more sense to have empty `#define in` and `#define out` macros and make a small clang plug-in that checks correct usage in your codebase - e.g.

int foo(int x, const foobar& my_foobar, boo& my_boo);
foo(x, in fb, out b); // ok
foo(x, out fb, out b); // compile error

BMCs have always been an Achilles heel.

HP's iLo could be got into if you used `curl -H "Connection: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"`

Supermicro's horrid BMCs, of which there are many, all were horrendously lax in security, long before this chip was, or was not inserted. You didn't buy supermicro if you were worried about security, you bought them if you needed to stack stuff high, cheap and dense.

There is a reason why its best practice to put them on separate networks, with as much stuff between it and anyone else. BMCs are massive backdoors, and should be treated with caution.
