So why do people get shot at all? Why do people get shot over arguments, out on the street, in public? Where do the guns come from?

How is it, that the guns land right in the hands of the people willing to use them? How are those guns floating around, carefully concealed, from purchase to grudge match? How does the grudge match start? Who snitches about what at all?

Clearly someone got shot, and no one knows who did it. No one knows anything? No one knows what happened. Based on that line of reasoning, maybe it's safe to conclude that no one got shot at all.

Except someone did get shot. And whoever did it managed to sail right through all of the gaps you've outlined, and disappear. How did that happen? Who would be motivated to operate against someone disrespecting them in a convenience store argument?

Why taunt anybody in a convenience store? Much less about authenticity or being a tattle tale.

Would you shoot someone for getting snarky with you? A random person at a deli?

If you were the kind of person who roamed the streets with a gun, you'd have your eyes in front of you about getting picked up with it. Even getting caught with a gun inside NYC city limits is a serious thing.

So to carry one around, to know where it is represents a degree of premeditation. Were the victim and the assailant just strangers? The assailant was so chaotic that this is a senseless crime against a stranger during some seconds-long encounter, and yet all so careful, that no one can figure out who dunnit, no one knows how the gun showed up, or why the sudden outburst?

Platonic ideals are great, but hang around some of these delis some time. See what it's like to mingle.
Ask HN: How does one do DevOps in the Node.js world?
I love this list, and would love to see an updated list so I can add the recommendations to my reading list :)

Have you ever checked out OSTEP: Three Easy Pieces? (http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/) I am finding that a much more accessible, organized, and easy-to-ready resource than Tanenbaum's Modern Operating Systems. What do you think of it?

Also, I've recently got my hands on "Practical Filesystem Design," written by the developer of the BeOS filesystem. A PDF is available here: http://www.nobius.org/dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf
The Swift version seems to be outdated. To get the length of a String, you need to do string.characters.count, instead of Swift 4's string.count. I think it's on Swift 2.
It's slow in coming but some police are trying to move in the opposite direction of instant lethal engagement. Houston Police Department now teaches non-lethal engagement techniques and officers are supposed to use those by default. Really nothing should happen if you just drop your hands, but getting a shotgun-fired beanbag to the chest or tasered is preferable to being shot.

Really the concern here is the insect-like behavior of this guy who had no concern for his fellow human beings or the consequences of his actions. I mean I'm sure he's very concerned now but the treatment of anyone who you don't agree with as an enemy needs to stop, whether we're talking about online gaming or politics. IMHO we need to reclaim our humanity; trying to get someone harassed or murdered by cop over $1.50 as happened in this story is sociopath behavior.

In case you're curious how this does with wildfire smoke -- Oakland 1 bedroom, put a 14"x20" MERV 13 (filtrete blue) filter on a box fan (covering the extra 6" with paper). Had a PMS5003 from adafruit monitoring before and after. In the span of 3 hours indoor PM2.5 dropped from 25 to 5 ug/m3 and has stayed low since.

I'm having trouble untangling the story from reading it. Who was the special interest group here, what did they object to, and what was the misunderstanding about the algorithm that the journalist harbored?
I appreciate that. I've posted this a few times on these matters because it was very impactful to us and really sets the stage about the farce of medical privacy. It is my small way of perhaps inspiring a positive outcome from an awful event.

I know the insurance companies, hospital and PBM sold pieces of the data because the formula company immediately upon request disclosed the list that they obtained my name from, and identified who had the relevant information by process of elimination. I don't know specifically all of the ways this is done.

Basically, claims data is sold, but not diagnosis. There is other context (type of admission, source of claim) that can identify the reason with confidence. (ie. ER admission, hospital admission, claim from OB/gyn) The prescription, can strengthen the assumed condition, and your pharmacy provides that data in near real-time to pharmaceutical companies, brokers and others. That script is tied to the DEA number of the doctor and can be cross-referenced to the admission.

The formula company takes that data and mashes against people who have used their coupons in the past.
Bad example because a massive chunk of linux is independent systems that have no overlap at all. The netlink code has jack-shit to do with a graphics driver from intel, etc.

Within subsystems regressions sneak in all of the time that don't directly cause compile-time failures.

Only a quarter of the US even has the option of fiber, much less actually have it. It's silly to use ideal fiber transfer rates as the argument for downloading whole-hog vs more targeted patching, and I doubt it's the reasoning they use.
I think individuals want to be good and do the right thing, but the system may incentivize them to ultimately act against that. For example, the pressure to close a case for stat purposes can incentivize a detective to de-prioritize a lead (throwing away the MetroCard would seemingly be over the line, though).
This article represents the core issue of "technology vs. luddites" in our current society, which is that technological change, no matter whether it's positive, negative, or neutral, is almost always decried by whatever group might be affected in a negative way, even if over all results are highly positive to society. The main, insoluble problem being that we take everyone who complains seriously, and genuinely don't want to disenfranchise people, but it's impossible to create change in society without at least one person being affected. And since the voice that complains is always the loudest one in the room, this can shut down whatever progress was supposed to happen.
Let's say we'd eventually find those other living organisms. What then? (BTW, the odds of that life to be a sentient one are much lower.)

Most glitches exploited by speedrunning are not things that 99.9% of typical players are going to encounter while completing a normal playthrough of the game. Even something as simple as whistle sprinting is almost impossible to discover by accident, much less things like using shield swaps to reset animations or manipulating the physics engine.

Odd that this sentence:

> Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

did not get a citation. Perhaps its so well known among its target audience that none was considered necessary. Since HN appeals to a broader audience, I'll supply the missing citation: It's from Wittgenstein's Tractatus - the very last line in fact. The usage is apt - as far as I can tell, Wittgenstein was making the same point about the difficult - even impossibility - of making meaningful statements outside of a formal language.

Wait, are you saying "Google Health" is an independent company under Alphabet, sibling to Google, but with Google in the name?

That seems implausible but would make sense.
Serious answer: yes.

It's terrible for you and contains palm oil. There are better alternatives.
Cost is a big reason - HcG is much more expensive than testosterone. The body also stops responding to artificial HcG in a relatively quick time (desensitizes), and as a result most doctors advise cycling on for a few weeks and off for a few weeks.
>The reality is that people want to receive treatment--if they don't, it is because they encounter a barrier to treatment.

While I agree that there are huge barriers to treatment, I'll respectfully disagree that people with substances abuse regularly want to receive treatment. Getting someone to just admit they have a substance abuse problem is remarkably challenging (the story of my father is just one of many in my family). Then, it's another hurdle to get them to recognize they can't do it on their own. Then, it's another hurdle to get them to stick with a program. Then, it's another hurdle to get them back into a program once they relapse.

So, I'm right there with you that we need to improve access dramatically. But, just improving access won't open the floodgates, sadly.
They had him with his hands up and shot him. They claim he was going for his waste band but there was no gun there.

Pulling up your pants is not a reason to get shot. Other jurisdictions don’t seem to have the same problem of shooting people who have already surrendered.
> police have no choice but to operate under the assumption that the 911 call is in good faith.

You say that, but... they do. How many hostage calls are real, vs. fake? Why don't police approach all cars they pull over with their guns drawn?
If you use Firefox, you can add a search keyword for MDN search, so that you can type "mdn array slice" in the address bar and go straight to MDN without needing DuckDuckGo to redirect you.
I think everyone should have easy and free access to personal identification that is valid for voting, air travel, opening a bank account, etc. I don't think it should be mandatory. I think if the government is going to require it, they should provide it.

I'm confidant that the census bureau created those numbers which was soon taken over by SSA or for SSA. That also isn't really the point I'm trying to make which is becoming a tangent.
That theory is not only derisive but incorrect. There is always plenty of non-busy work to be done at a startup, even one with few users or traction.

It's obviously running in a container. I'm not sure your code really shows anything too concerning if they are taking precautions outside of the container to mitigate things like DDoS etc.
Nice choices! I'll take a look at those non apple watches to refresh my memory. Not familiar with Movado so looking forward to checking it out!
Yes, TRT doesn't make you sterile. But it likely lowers the quality of your sperm. There is a small chance of becoming infertile and there's a small chance your system won't start up again if you decide to stop. Generally though, for people that have naturally low levels and are on TRT, they wouldn't want to stop and return to those levels after experiencing life at normal/high levels.
Good, it's a pretty useless service. Has anyone considered, um, looking up recipes and um, going to the store, buying the stuff, and cooking?
I've also made a similar app a while ago: https://peercalls.com Source is available at: https://github.com/jeremija/peer-calls
It seems to me that validating on the AST would be a lot cleaner/saner (if int(ipv4addr) > 256: err), and generally allow for much better error messages; especially since you'll be doing almost all your validations on the AST anyways.

It would ofc also be more useful in future parsing too (similar structure, but not ipv4), but thats a much more minor and rarer benefit
I'm not religious, but it's hard to ignore the comparison:

"Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name."

Maybe they were onto something?

One one hand, sure. They're still able to ship a working product despite having an abysmal code base. That's an excellent end result that must not be underestimated. Perhaps the problem that code base solves is really that difficult and there's no other way.

But on the other hand, over-reliance on tests is one of the reasons they ended up in this situation in the first place. It's like the car safety engineer's joke - How do you make cars safer? Install a knife in the middle of the steering wheel pointed at the driver.

When we're too sure that some safety feature will save us, we forget to be careful.
They have hostage situations in other countries, and they do not shoot habitually shoot civilians there. In fact, they hardly fire a shot ever. In Britain, where police are routinely unarmed, there are 5 or 6 incidents a year when an officer discharges a firearm. In Germany police officers are armed, and they fire ~ 100 rounds/year. There's something very wrong with American police and their fire discipline.
Gee, downvoted for that. Also a surprise. Would downvoters care to explain why?
"when all actors are behaving rationally, yet the outcome is not something that is good for society, we need to change the rules to change behavior." +1!
That’s not necessarily true. If a new item introduces a new perk/mechanic/effect, adding the triggers for said effect may have wide-reaching effects. Texture files are often bundled as large bitmaps with dozens or hundreds of textures laid out in one binary, resulting in the entire texture file needing to be re-downloaded.
> Optimizing the algorithm for greater “equity" also meant many of the planned changes were "biased" against families with privilege.

I'm not sure what this means, and I wish the article had gone into more detail. If it means "the preferences of families in higher-income neighborhoods were weighed the same as those of those in lower-income housing", that seems great, and uncontroversial. Those families probably had an outsized voice in the old scheduling process and so will do relatively worse in the new one, but oh well, that's life.

If instead it means "the preferences of families in high-income neighborhoods were intentionally given less weight than those of low-income families [to discount their privilege]," that's rather more ethically questionable.

Yeah, I work on public health research that includes India and they always ask us the Ghee and Coconut oil questions.

Short answer is we don't know.

Long answer is I just write the software - ask the boss.
My ~25lb dog once consumed half a bar of 80% dark. I gave her ~4 Tbs of hydrogen peroxide per the internet's suggestion and she basically drank it like water, without issue >.>

I like to believe her excessive food consumption throughout her life was training for this moment where she would need to metabolize poison.
That's not what happens with screen or tmux (or xterm, or sshd on the remote side of an ssh connection...). These allocate a pseudo terminal (PTY; which is a structure in the kernel) and connect to the master end. Using that they emulate a terminal, which has a virtual keyboard and a virtual screen. A shell (or another program) is started, with its input and output(s) connected to the slave end.

The virtual keyboard might be X11 key events in the case of xterm, or a network stream in the case of sshd, or simply the stdin downstream from another terminal in the case of tmux. That keyboard character stream is fed into the write fd of the master end of the PTY.

The virtual display is implemented by processing data read from the read fd of the master end of the PTY. That might involve drawing to an X11 window in the case of xterm, or sending back data over the network in the case of sshd, or writing to stdout connected to another terminal in the case of tmux.

The important part is this: The job control is still done in the kernel as part of the PTY implementation. That implementation is where for example a Ctrl+c (0x03 byte) is converted to a SIGINT which is then sent to the slave program.

I can't imagine why this guy would think it's remotely ok to do such a thing.

Nobody should ever, EVER misdirect police or emergency responders in such a way. There are all kinds of downsides and NO upside.

Was this guy raised by animals, or is he some kind of sociopath? Either way, I hope enough publicity is raised that anyone else remotely considering such a stunt is discouraged.
Something strange is happening with people’s sex lives
The OP literally made the argument that, in the extreme, people must have to die if regulations are relaxed. OP did not assume good faith. OP pushed the argument to the extreme. I responded by pointing out that out. I appreciate civility, but won’t assume good faith when the other participant has shown bad faith.
I find these questions are a bit too simple and direct. Some of the interview questions I've seen are much more nuanced and often more indirect.

How do you figure? The distances are tremendous, and it seems like we ate guessing at what the climate is like on the nearest exoplanets. How would we spot life? Wed need probes to travel near the speed of light to have any chance. That's a long way off.
I understand companies in highly competitive markets not wanting to disclose their prices to lose an edge to the competition (though as a consumer I want more price competition to get better deals).

What pisses me off the most is when the price could only be discovered after having some sort of conversation/correspondence with a salesperson. I just want to find out a number. I don't want to talk to a person or schedule a time for them to "understand my needs and what makes my situation unique" before giving me a price. Maybe I am an exception, but I don't want the personal interaction when trying to make a business decision based on my own weighing of factors, including price. I would rather submit a recaptcha to see a price than go through all these hoops and spend extra time on it.
I certainly believe there are plenty of things that can be improved in training. However, in a supposed hostage situation I would imagine it is quite tricky to know that this isn't a trick. How do you know this person isn't meant to disarm you and then someone else takes you hostage and now the situation is worse?

EDIT: You are right, that was a poor example for this situation. I can't reply to you, but the only point I'm trying to make is that it is very easy to see this situation after the fact. But I would imagine it is next to impossible to verify some of these facts in real time with confidence.

It was a beta. For all we know, they decided to switch DRM protection formats or make other sweeping changes in the months since the beta build was originally forked.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable for them to say “sorry, this beta must be deleted and the full game must be retrieved.” That’s the life of a beta tester.

Palm oil is largely used for three things:

(1) as a feedstock for making surfactants in personal cleaners (shampoos, toothpaste, bath gel) like sodium laureth sulfate [1];
(2) as a substitute for partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (incl. trans fats) in food manufacturing; partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils (containing unsaturated fatty acids) will alter their melting point and texture to produce solid-at-room-temp shortening; and
(3) as a cooking oil. Lately, it has also seen some use in biodiesel.

To replace palm oil in surfactants, you can use coconut oil (which is even more intensive to produce), or by synthesizing the precursors from mined hydrocarbons (typically oil or natural gas) using a variety of clever chemical reactions; or lard from animals, which requires raising animals.

To replace palm oil in food manufacturing, you can use coconut oil, lard, or you can partially hydrogenate unsaturated fatty acids derived from many vegetable oils; by doing the latter you're converting some of your product into trans fat.

To replace palm oil in cooking, choose from a variety of other oils and fats.

Unfortunately, almost all of the European and US consumption is for manufacturing, while elsewhere it's used for cooking as well. While European and US suppliers do own palm oil plantations, they also source from other producers. This complicates the market: boycotts against big manufacturers of soap or food will drive the price of palm oil lower, increasing the likelihood that it will be offloaded to a different set of countries as cheap cooking oil.
