Mainly because to me it sounds a lot like horror stories about those college classes to teach men how to not rape (I dunno, what happens there? instructor keeps telling "rape is bad"?)
Of course the countries we invade will have more terror attacks. We've put targets there for them to hit. This does not prove that US intervention causes terrorism. What it proves is that when you move their targets thousands of miles closer to them, terrorists will attack them more frequently.
Many professional books these days have issues with registration, bleed, trimming, etc. The quality is quite poor, to the point where I have fatigue determining if a book is "legit" or not.
I'm considering using it. It's really nice to be able to idle in chatrooms without risking losing history if my computer dies as well as have a unified experience supported across web clients in all my platforms (I'm not really a fan of any of the windows-based or linux based IRC clients out there).

It seems worth it for me to throw this on a DO droplet, give it a URL and totally forget about having missed something again. Right now I just use Textual with all the default configs installed and don't do anything fancy. For a casual IRC user who doesn't want to go into much more effort than that to preserve history or have seamless client experience/settings and am willing to pay 5 bucks a month to host in the cloud somewhere, I think I'm the target audience here.
There's an even neater way to construct these sentences. The construct "Police police police" can be construed in two different ways:

1. As a complete N-V-N sentence.

2. As a noun phrase with an implied "that" i.e. "Police [that] police police..."

So you can freely substitute "Police police police" for either the first or last "police" in the base sentence and derive a new legitimate sentence with a noun at either end. That process can be repeated as many times as you like.
Yes. But everything above them is.

For a bit of optimism: if you are a good software engineer, you can become a contributor in a modern AI research lab like OpenAI. We hire software engineers to do pure software engineering, and can also train them to do the machine learning themselves (cf https://blog.openai.com/spinning-up-in-deep-rl/ or our Fellows and Scholars programs).

As one concrete example, though not the norm, our Dota team has no machine learning PhDs (though about half had prior modern ML experience)!
Even if they don't you can just turn unaligned access emulation on in your OS kernel. This was a thing in QNX and is also a thing in Linux.
Also typically more complicated and require a separate compaction process. They're good for writing lots of data, but not so great for random reads.
Which motherboards you recommend supported by Coreboot?
hello,

looking to buy a motherboard for a good desktop experience ...

from this list
https://coreboot.org/status/board-status.html

and from column "F"
"Board supported by [http://www.flashrom.org flashrom] (Y/N)?"

and only motherboards which are supported by flashrom and say "Y"
this means that i can buy the board and flash the BIOS with Coreboot using flashrom via software?
which ones you recommend for a Unix/BSD/Linux user?

Thanks
Mork actually sucked even as a key-value store. It's only decent if your requirements are a) only lookup on a fixed, autoincrement integer ID, b) the only operation you're likely to do is load an entire record or store an entire record at once, and c) parallelism is not in your vocabulary.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the last people to make functional changes to mork.
Because factoring Asians (and Indians, for that matter) in to the equation changes the framing of the argument.

Asians are a minority group, but are vastly over-represented in tech, to the point that even white people are under-represented by comparison.

The concern about racial diversity tends to focus on the idea that white hiring managers are subconsciously selective against non-white applicants. This doesn't make sense though when you factor in the minority groups that are actually over-represented.

So what has happened is that the argument has shifted to ignore Asian representation and only focus on black and Latino representation, while still coming to the same conclusion that white hiring managers are subconsciously racist and that the company needs to take corrective action.

The representation of Asians and Indians in tech should not necessarily reduce concerns for other minorities that are under-represented, but should definitely change the way those concerns are framed. The fact that it hasn't suggests that some sort of tomfoolery is afoot.

People lose love and jobs also, you could try to keep yours longer ? Also there are other things to do with your time besides loving and working. There is eating, sleeping, playing, learning, hacking, listening, singing, dancing, teaching, traveling, meditating, tweeting, investing, leading.
Last time I checked, I couldn't downvote articles here.

So instead of downvoting drivel like this into oblivion, people come and explain why they think this is nonsense.
Persons with chronic pain should have access to treatments that work for them. For some, it may be exercise, or physical therapy, or tylenol, or a TENS unit. For a few, it may be opioids in low or high doses. Treatments need to be able to be individualized to the specific patient - one size definitely does not fit all. Your pain may respond to meditation and tylenol, but somebody with a pancreas that is autodigesting itself or chronic unrepairable partial bowel obstruction with miserable horrible daily disabling pain may actually do better with opiates. When politicians and internet experts begin dictating medical treatment regimens, individual patients will suffer and die, or commit suicide.

On the other hand, persons who enjoy abusing substances to get high or blasted or whatever the feeling may be need to have some safe way of feeding their addiction, or they will die, in large numbers. Being dependent on an illegal supply chain stretching from Kowloon to Morelia to San Diego to wherever with no quality control and no oversight is a recipe for disaster -- nobody who buys stuff on the street knows what they are getting. And to boot, actual medical treatment for addiction is not easy to obtain and limited. The much vaunted "clinics" are for rich people who don't need health insurance to pay the bills.

So we will continue to have problems in the US, and they won't be fixed.
What you are measuring is merely the state of chaos of the middle east post iraq war and arab spring.

If you look at the history of terrorism in Europe for instance, before the 70s it was mostly independentist mvts / de-colonisation related. 70s to early 80s was mostly far left terror attacks. Mid 80s state sponsored terrorism (Libya, Iran). 90s to now, islamist terrorism.

Islamists were blowing bombs in the metro in Paris in the 90s, and tried a 9/11 style plane attack on Paris in 1994 [1].

Islamism is a worldwide phenomenon, like communism in its time. If you go through every single muslim country from Marocco to Indonesia, the largest or second largest political party is an islamist party, or the islamists are in power, or they have been outlawed after taking too much power, or they are one of the major party to a civil war. Terrorism is a side effect of this rise in islamism, like the red brigades, RAF, etc were to communism.

So no, it’s not just a reaction to the war in Iraq.

> extension called "Skip Redirect" works-around this problem

Thanks for mentioning that. Google is the the one site where I want it to always work, but it seems the extension has a limitation with Google's links.

At least with Firefox under Windows 7, if you click on a Google link, it won't skip the redirect. It does skip the redirect if you open the link in a new tab, or if you copy the link location, then paste and go from the address bar. Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe I need to tell the author of the extension.
This is very similar to A/B Experimentation -- Gotta force the user to select a primary metric BEFORE the experiment starts to keep 'em honest.
In our case, "last value" isn't good enough. We do interpolation, and use compression algorithms for which interpolation minimizes reconstruction error.

Because of their dependence on Google servers, Chromebooks (or using any cloud-based service) make it very hard to satisfy confidentiality requirements that are imposed by clients for consulting jobs.

But being fundamental in this context is a bad thing.

You can't convincingly ransom a hospital on the other side of the Earth by swinging a hammer in your basement.

You can't remotely exploit life-critical systems by studying which hammers were used to assemble them.

You can't send streams of hammers through web browsers and persuade the user to mint coins in their spare time.

You can't hammer a nail in a copper wire outside your beach house and catch a printer on fire in the midwest.

I have no opinion on the question about the morality of code. But no answer to that question has anything to do with a hammer.
Can these NanoPis boot over PXE? I was pleasantly surprised a few weeks ago by the fact that the Raspberry Pi can do network boot without an SD card.
The irony of bank lending is that the companies that are safe to lend to, do not need the money. The ones that really need a loan are the ones that might not pay it back. When you do not need to borrow, your bank is constantly trying to encourage you to borrow money. When you really need money, the bank is not interested or wants a very high interest rate to compensate for the risk.

In this case Stripe has the most important information about you, your revenue numbers. So they can judge if you are a good risk or not, plus they spread the risk over many companies. Finally, they avoid the biggest cost on small loans, which is all the paperwork/admin on the backend.

The PC revolution happened because of very open hardware specifications and a non-monopoly on the firmware (the IBM BIOS was reverse-engineered by Compaq).

...You can also make Tracker show a window for a particular folder in order to show the user where a particular file has been stored and give him access to it directly....

...By removing unneeded items from the file navigation window, you are reducing the number of choices the user must pick from and also preventing him from opening the wrong kinds of files...

...Good feedback just means making sure that the user knows what your program is doing at any given time, especially if the program is busy doing something which makes him wait...

...An even better solution would be to select a good default choice for the user and give him the option to change it...

... In short, a user will learn only what he must in order to do his job...

Another tip to design good software: don't assume all your users are male :)

This is an okay stab at a HIG, although it is severely lacking in examples and screenshots, for a document that deals with graphical user interfaces.

Good past attempts that are worth the read if you're into this kind of stuff include the original Macintosh HIG, as well as NextStep User Interface Guidelines. I also quite liked the Hypercard Stack Design Guidelines. Gnome once had an okay-ish HIG (which I contributed to), not sure how well up to date it's been kept through the years. KDE, despite being better on the eye candy front compared to Gnome, was always lacking behind in terms of actual concrete guidelines for developers.
Hi, regular cyclist in both San Francisco and the East Bay. Rented scooters are slow and erratic and a touch annoying to me. But, I'd rather share the road with a scooter than a car any day. Do scooters remove cars from the road, especially for short trips? I dunno, but I'd be willing to bet they do.

Worth it. More scooters, please.
at first, one will not start with generalized bullsh*te claim slogan to expose their own useless life to others. no matter how far they've gone, it is the point of everything ends.
This is overly confident and gives off "I am right, and I don't need to back it up" type of vibe imo.

> "i have no idea wtf i'm talking about but here are some thoughts"

I think there is a middle ground between this and overly confident that is best for advice giving. From my experience those with the most confidence while giving advice tend to be least open minded about altering their opinion upon being questioned. Which in turn leads to bad advice.
Very true. It touches a bit on the retrieval side with some discussion of keys, hashing, B-trees, etc in the "Access Paths" chapter, but primarily from the perspective of making the system robust and consistent. Definitely does not cover the full space of database design (no mention of query planning at all).
I bike to work everyday in the east bay and have no issues sharing what little infrastructure bikes have with scooters. I can easily pass them in most instances and if not they are no slower than a slow cyclist. So far 0 issues except when they go the wrong way but cyclists are also guilty of this. Compared to cars which have clipped me a couple times and routinely park in the bike lanes.

Cell phones also have some of the greatest capacity to route around failure. Cell phone hardware includes extremely capable, software-controlled radio antennas. Just because they are currently slaved to specific communication patterns doesn't mean that they have to be.

Mesh networking standards exist that can take good advantage of cell phone hardware. Several of the phone handset operating systems are already theoretically capable of supporting it (if they weren't so locked down).

At the very least, in emergencies, cell phones should be able to network point-to-point between each other.

The barriers to doing that currently today are more political and economic than technical. It would be great to try to tear those barriers down.
Are you asking whether they could, or whether they should?

For a laptop, all you need is a keyboard/screen clamshell unit with a docking port for the phone where a drive would be on a typical laptop.

A tablet is pretty similar, but the dock needs to be behind the screen, which probably makes a thicker than average tablet. Or you just make a foldable phone which folds out to a tablet.

I should preface this by saying that I spend a lot of time reviewing scientific papers for private sector firms searching for red flags. So certain issues in scientific papers become common enough that they, sort of, jump out at you right away.

That's why, in fairness to HN user wufufufu, we should point out that they do NOT control for the age of the female. They only say that the male in the reproductive couple was aged X. (No indication as to the health of the female either.)

In general, when a wholly biological effect is observed in human study populations, without reference to a preceding controlled study on, say, mice, your antennae go up. Now in the private sector, that means that the people I worked for would adjust or shuffle resources to account for the likelihood of partners or customers bringing successful legal actions. (Or, perhaps, cancel projects altogether.) But here all it means is that you probably can go ahead and have kids if you are thinking about it and are already over 35.

Humans, (and several other animals), have been doing this for millennia. It's very likely not older people having kids that will eradicate us. (Or even lead to our decline, to be perfectly frank.)
Some helpful information here, I would think: http://www.redbook.io/
Scooters should absolutely not need registration, nor should bikes for that matter. Streets are for all modes of transportation not just cars.
This is clearly a better solution compared to the average language but what if you forget to mark a field or object as guarded?

Just take a look at the basic problem of multi-threading: two threads write to the same memory location. This situation is unpredictable and there never allowed to happen.
There are three general strategies to deal with this: immutability, mutexes and linear types to ensure there is only one reference with write capability.

The latter makes writing code that is not thread-safe impossible at compile time without sacrificing efficiency and is used by at least two programming languages that I know of: Ponylang and Rust. For me impossible vs "oops forgot to guard it" are worlds apart. The compiler will inform you that it is not thread-safe and then you can decide to use a different solution like a mutex if necessary.
So the takeaway here is that you should have kids before the weight of the world crushes your spirit. Luckily, all the stress in my life somehow mysteriously manifested after I had kids :)
From what I can tell he worked hard, switched careers, and is still super high from his accomplishments and wishes to share that which he learned from his journey.

I estimated he was making about $20,000 USD a week during the ICO boom, and he also sold the exchange to Asian buyers, so I believe he came out on top. Although dealing with the SEC is very expensive (your lawyers spend many hours on calls and assisting in discovery) and also it's nerve wracking.
Why would the SEC want them to not be net positive? Are they trying to dismantle the business or just ensure that they get their dues?
