Of course the Supreme Court case is there, it would be very weird if it wasn't. But it's phrased in a very specific and neutral way, as if he was fighting an odd bit of tax legislation, when the reality was he used prisoners as literal cotton picking slaves, personally oversaw brutal violence, and deprived 16,000 prisoners of due process.

I mean, come on! He literally used violence to force prisoners to lie under oath to attack an attorney! He operated a system where prisoners were forced to mutilate themselves in order to survive.

From the article:

One former prisoner named Clyde Sewell told a graphic account of an incident in which three inmates, all supposedly shot by McAdams while they were trying to escape, were laid out as examples, alive but bleeding profusely, at the entrance to the dining hall. “We had to walk through the blood to get to the dining room,” Sewell testified.

Can you imagine a hell like this? Can you imagine someone who ruled over it for over a decade and knew about every little detail and was responsible for all this horrific carnage? It's absolutely insane. These things are crimes against humanity.

Being responsible for this shouldn't mean some mild mention of "Beto was the lead defendant in 405 U.S. 319 in which the court upheld a Free Exercise claim on the basis of the allegations..." in the last paragraph of an otherwise fairly uninteresting Wikipedia article. It should mean that the person is permanently condemned for the monster they were.

That's what I'm complaining about: that somehow, in today's society where people seem to think you can't escape the past, true monsters do escape with their reputation unscathed. And that unsettles me.

“Would it not be better if they spent more money on wholesome things like oranges and wholemeal bread or if they even, like the writer of the letter to the New Statesman, saved on fuel and ate their carrots raw? Yes, it would, but the point is that no ordinary human being is ever going to do such a thing. The ordinary human being would sooner starve than live on brown bread and raw carrots. And the peculiar evil is this, that the less money you have, the less inclined you feel to spend it on wholesome food. A millionaire may enjoy breakfasting off orange juice and Ryvita biscuits; an unemployed man doesn't. Here the tendency of which I spoke at the end of the last chapter comes into play. When you are unemployed, which is to say when you are underfed, harassed, bored, and miserable, you don't want to eat dull wholesome food. You want something a little bit 'tasty'. There is always some cheaply pleasant thing to tempt you.”

Then forget exercise for now, just take a contemplative walk around the block. Perhaps do it right before breakfast and/or after dinner. It's easy and takes less than 10 minutes. Don't think of it as exercise and do it in any clothes and with any shoes. No excuses, anyone can walk around 1 block and everyone needs 10 private minutes to collect their thoughts.

Before you know it you'll find yourself walking around several blocks, then swinging your arms, then walking faster, then you may even start jogging. You'll feel motivated, you'll keep making progress, and most importantly, you'll actually look forward to your walks.

I followed the advice above and now run almost daily before sunrise. It has really boosted my self-esteem since I had always disliked running yet admired those people who run before sunrise. But if someone had told me to start by purchasing running clothes, finding the right running shoes, choosing a good running route, stretching for 10 minutes... forget it!

We're going to take extreme precautions to protect the privacy of our users. The most profitable data we're going to collect doesn't exist today. Consider this:
Smart Data – Currently, our shopping experience reflects the combination of the products we want and the products we can afford. When something we want is too expensive, we replace that item for something that’s more in line with our budget. This misinformed data is sold and used to create more unwanted products that are more likely to go to waste. When every item in a marketplace is free, consumers will only choose the products they truly want. This data is currently unavailable and represents the most valuable segment of every product’s value chain.

This is the quote you responded to:

>The older folks with the desk jobs are often quite literally sacrificing their own well-being for their family's, "deprioritizing their health" for another priority.

We are not talking about impoverished one-night-stands having babies out of ignorance of contraceptives. These are tech workers who are well-off but still intentionally sacrifice their long-term quality of life in order to improve their children's.

I will probably fall in that group, I had to work through college and want to ensure my child does not. It's a probabilistic utilitarian argument, my cumulative change in quality of life gained from switching to a less demanding career is less than what my child gains from the freedom to explore more opportunities in college (plus my joy at seeing their happiness). Of course, love is an essential part of that calculation. I would not make those sacrifices for some arbitrary child.
As a total outsider, what is wrong with DNSSEC? Security extensions seem like a good idea, to the uninitiated. Are there any relevant links I should read?
So, what's it not good at, that's what I'm wondering. That's generally what I look for after reading overviews and PR pieces from evangelists. Right now, if I take the copy at face value, if I'm programming anything with a visual component I should be using Arcan. Knowing where some people find it a poor fit (or just too complicated for a simple use case) helps provide nuance to the hype.
In particular, I love that this tool tells you when a bounce sets a cookie (and how many).
The idea is that yes, you do 99.9% of your work in Haxe and it is robust enough to handle things. Only times you might drop down to your native compiled language is if you want to interface with a native library/component for which there is no 3rd party extension to Haxe yet. Even then there are Haxe based methods to fit most of those cases too.

I think the analogy is accurate: Haxe is not meant to be used to compile to native and then modified in native further. It can be... but the general usecase is to write everything in Haxe and not have to then modify the transpiled result. Similar to typescript in a way... you can add JavaScript after the fact, but most likely you’d directly add native untyped JavaScript within your Typescript code, not directly to your transpiled result.

I figured there was a new product launch coming soon, they recently rented a large storefront in my neighborhood in Brooklyn and have been building it out like a flagship retail store. Curious choice of location if you ask me, I think their broker oversold this part of Brooklyn as the new Soho, which it is certainly not in terms of foot traffic and tourists.

Anyhow, I was not terribly impressed by the initial product and fairly shocked with how much money they raised after it. Interested to see what’s next.

Ask HN: Reasonable dev laptop?
So my 2015 Retina MacBook Pro just broke. My fault, my shoddily mounted monitor fell over and hit the laptop, breaking the screen. As I probably won't qualify for the 'Staingate' replacements, footing $600+ for a display replacement is just a bit too much. I'm also looking to move away from Apple products.

I'm looking for a reasonable laptop to buy, not looking for the latest specs, just one that can run Ubuntu, have a long battery life (>6 hours preferably), and can handle Modern web browsing (webapps and stuff). Preferably not too heavy to lug around. I'm doing light dev work on Django and trying to learn React/Angular.

I'm kinda interested in getting older thinkpads (t430/x230s) but concerned on the battery life part. If any of you have any suggestions, it would be great.
You're welcome, godspeed.
Economic prospects aren't everything. Life is more than that, and many people place a high value on family.

Lots of the trouble with "teen pregnancy" is really not about age. It's about not having a stable marriage with a decent breadwinner. Pregnancy in the mid-late teen years is biologically ideal.

Dropping out of college or even high school isn't so bad. It makes perfect sense if you value children and think that family comes first. You have to start early if you want to have a big healthy family.

The normal density function does fall out of proofs of the CLT. Usually those proofs stop at either the characteristic function or the moment-generating function of the normal distribution. From a proof that results in the moment-generating function of the limiting distribution [0], you can derive the normal density via an inverse Laplace transform [1]. You can probably do the same by deriving the characteristic function of the limiting distribution and taking the inverse Fourier transform, but I've never seen that proof.

There many ways to derive the normal distribution from first principles, depending on which first principles you start with, because it has many useful properties and shows up in many situations.

Publish a paper with the mathematical proof. “probably not” is neither here nor there.

The main argument from your link is nobody has found an efficient algorithm for any of the 3,000+ studied problems after all this time.

And yet it’s also true that in the same span of time, nobody has been able to prove the that it’s not, either. No matter how hard they have tried.

“probably not” is just an opinion. I’ll wait for the formal proof. Till then it simply is not known whether or not.

What are your gym friends doing if they couldn't do more than a few? Are they strength training or just doing cardio? Serious question, I'm curious. With a few months training ar age 26 I was able to do 5 reps of my bodyweight + about 40 pounds IIRC. And now, even when I periodically stop strength training, I am rarely below 8-10 when I start again.

Chin-ups are hard, but they're not that hard if you train them or do any activity that works those muscles.
For those confused by the use of the word "fraud" here, the US government today considers fraud to cover both financial misdeeds, as well as (their) rules violations where no money is involved.

If you follow the news, you'll see the word "fraud" increasingly thrown around as it gives the government a bigger hammer to use on its citizens.

Meanwhile, actual fraud like civil asset forfeiture rolls along with full government endorsement.

As someone who exercises, I didn't think the comment was pedantic at all. I thought yours was actually.

A lot of people define exercise as either some sort of rigorous structured activity, or something that makes you sweat, or something that makes you huff and puff.

A lot of resistance training my do none of those things, but still result in a high level of fitness, including cardiovascular. So, it was helpful to see what exactly the study was referring to.

Conversely, a lot of people "exercise" regularly, but aren't particularly fit when measured against objective metrics.
Yeah but on the other side if you just let engineers do everything "the right way", we'll never deliver anything because there's always a "better" way to do it. I agree that "success-based planning" is ultra bad, but engineering needs to be held to some level of accountability.

Or maybe I just blame capitalism, haha. No deadlines! I do this because I like it!

If Thomas isn't responding I will. DNSSEC is an important idea, but not something a company's security department should be terribly worried about implementing just this minute. TLS will take care of most of what you need in that area.

The most practical concern right now is that DNSSEC isn't even being honored by most clients, so even if you build a solution that you're comfortable with, it will be doing nothing to secure most of your customers' connections. If clients start using DNSSEC more in the future, you'll hear about it.

I bought an old thinkpad (T460) earlier this year after years of being very hesitant to upgrade from an older (X220) Thinkpad. It's incredible. Great screen, keyboard, battery (it's got two!), trackpoint... The whole package is good as hell. I bought a fairly tricked-out one off Ebay for less than $550. Running Debian Linux and this thing just flies.
I agree with you, but someone couldn't do the squats portion at home without a squat rack, right? Or substituting something like pistols.

I definitely think all homes should have a pullup bar. They can be had cheaply, and easily attached to doorframes. A good way to add quickly pulling motions for $30.
The workaround is to get a gang of people around a desk chatting with a line of code up. Its no longer a meeting, but you can slip in some "how we tracking on the deadlines" type questions.
The biggest issue in my opinion are Detroit schools, they're just abysmal. Directly to the south of the houses I posted is a separate group of cities called the Grosse Pointes. They're in the same county as Detroit, but they're their own cities complete with different schools. The same houses I posted above would go for 1.5-2x their price if they were less than a mile south simply due to the school districts.
