As ideas go this is a bit of a non-starter. If you can't tell what your congressperson is voting for, how do you know if they are representing you? When you vote, how would it be even theoretically possible to make an informed decision of who you want as a representative?

The only axis of discrimination between politicians would be charisma - which is no predictor at all of what someone will actually do.

EDIT It might be even easier for handlers to corrupt the system, because they could make it known that if a bill gets through, they'll be generous with their largess to everyone - and there will be know way to verify which politicians are the ones who are being bought off.
He makes/sells on average 250 to 300 dozen bagels per day. The bagels sell for $10 a dozen, so that's over $2500 revenue on the bagels alone. He's open 6 days a week, so that's $15,000 per week, or $780,000 per year.

His bakery is also a diner/deli, and I'm going to make the assumption that the revenue from that covers all his non-bagel costs. The ingredients in a bagel cost less than 10 cents each, or about 10% of the selling price. So he could net about $700,000 per year.

Not a bad gig, if he could cut back the hours a bit.
He can basically be broken down into his non-fiction collections, his short fiction collections and his novels. Personally, I would start with his non-fiction (Consider the lobster, supposedly fun thing). Then maybe some of his short fiction, like Brief Interviews, which can be a little more experimental, before tackling the novels.
I don't see how we can make Congress vote anonymously, and I'm pretty sure that's not good public policy.

And in general, I don't like attributing these things to a single cause of "corruption". It's too neat, too easy.

_Yes, Minister_, which satirizes the British government, supposedly had close access to several people in government, though it was probably careful rather than casual.

So why is "crate" such an improvement over "compilation unit" that it warrants inventing a new term? Especially when a large number of engineers learning Rust come from a language that uses "compilation unit"?
They ring true. Some moments don't even have to exaggerated to be funny. That is exactly how being "cool" works in parts of India, and just the fact is enough to make a person from the west crack up.

Dinesh is one of the few nerdy Indian stereotypes that I do not mind. All the others seem like caricatures and generalizations of South Asians. Dinesh on the other hand, could be sitting right across my table, coding....

If The Big Short is considered a great "documentary" for the 2008 crisis, then SV does even better for the Valley.
The Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance has existed in one form or another since 1999, so it would be weird for the Japanese government to worry about it now. Though Ghosn has served as the Alliance Chairman and CEO, so I suppose it is possible for a Ghosn shakedown to be an attempt to shakedown the Alliance. Seems an odd way to go about it though.
I let my 7 year old play with this; she was able to scribble simple things which were recognized pretty well, actually, and was a fun and useful activity. I think most of HN is not the target audience here, and we are reacting to our assumptions based on the title of the project.

Actually, I think this library could provide a security benefit since generating code by string concatenation is generally dagnerous. Analogous to generating HTML or SQL -- safer to use a library than to construct it yourself.
I find the denial of a healthy existence to those impoverished to be much more an interference in individual liberty than the denial of people's ability to hand over money for a particular service.

I also think this example may be valid for some discussions but in the modern world where the acquisition of wealth is denied from a large portion of the population this example fails to provide value.
If you've never been to the BioSphere in the outskirts of Tucson you really should check it out. As much as the original idea of the place never really come into fruition, there was a lot of really neat engineering that went into building the place.

What part of the indexing isn’t allowed, is it the scraping or the publishing of the scraped material? Or something else such as a “use” of the material?

Example: Does it matter whether the data is ever stored? Say I make a listing notifier that pings people when a house is listed in their desired area. I’d need to crawl real estate listings and but I’d never store or republish any content from the site.
I think they make a good point about how the laxness of China's intellectual property laws is a boon to consumers, and maybe innovation.
Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you can use Graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org/) which accepts DOT input to produce graphs.

You may also be interested in a GUI-based DFA/NFA/PDA simulator I built, available here: http://automatonsimulator.com/. The target audience is CS students and was built based on notation found in Michael Sipser's "Introduction to the Theory of Computation." It allows you to: graphically define state machines, test against input strings, step-by-step debug, and export/import using a text format.

Is that something the party cares about? (The Communist Party I mean).

Serious question.

How interested are they in having Americans or Bolivians or whatever engage in the daily use of Chinese internet sites and apps? My sense is that they don't really care about that. It seems that it's more a priority that we, on our part, assume the party has. I honestly wonder if they care?
If this were true, there would be much more P2P networks today than fifteen years ago, but that’s not the case. According to [1], in 2004 BitTorrent accounted "from 20 to 35% of all traffic on the Internet". At that time the bandwidth cost was at least two orders of magnitude higher than today. The price of hard drive has since been divided by 40 [2] and the total Internet traffic has been multiplied by 40 [3].

Makes sense. As someone who experienced both the Gilfoyle and Dinesh cultural perspectives, the joke really made me laugh.
I referred to schema simplicity elsewhere in that comment, which is not the same thing, but similar enough to state machine simplicity.
"However, to be useful, state machines must be organized in a strict hierarchy. A well-chosen hierarchy removes irrelevant combinations of states.” - yes state machines are awesome and I use them all the time when programming real time controllers for machinery/process automation and sequencing.

The best thing for me is that telling the process engineers I want them to tell me their required functionality as a state table (which then is our common/overlapping language of interface) forces them to think about every state needed and to exhaustively and unambiguously consider every transition.

But, as per the text I included at the beginning of this comment, the surprisingly most difficult thing is deciding appropriate system decomposition and hierarchy so you don't end up with the "state explosion" of many, many states when someone tries to cram everything into one state machine.
Click bait. Just a guy's opinion.
I had a hard time getting a job in Java and web development because I had C on Hp nonstop experience. I found it difficult to come to terms with this. I had a decade of experience but I still couldn't get a job in web development. From your post it appears to be more prevalent. Why does this happen in the IT industry? Is it because the tools used are very different?

Income inequality could be increasing for different reasons at different times. It might not be increasing at all (depending on how you define income)!

Let's stop drooling over graphs and have an actual conversation about the "problem". Who am I richer than and why? Who is richer than me and why? Maybe if we answer these questions we can solve income inequality (assuming we still want to solve it all).

Cultural Marxism applies modes of analysis developed within the Marxist community with different presumed central conflicts than the economic class one addressed in Marxism (and a number of the early practitioners were former Marxists.) So there originally was an understandable genesis of the term.

Nowadays, it's sort of a generic derogatory epithet by the right for anything that they disagree with that can't be ascribed directly (even in a very loose view) to actual economic Marxism, because everything bad must have “Marxism” stamped on it somewhere.
> Economics, as the expression of human beings exchanging with each other, accepts neither.

I will never understand how adults can believe that things like economics, journalism, central banking, and (especially) the US constitution can be non-political.

s/gRPC/SOAP/g

And what were the complaints about SOAP? Right, that using POST for everything was not RESTful, which among other things means things you could have gotten with GET can't be cached by middleboxes, and so on.

> The beauty of gRPC is that it is HTTP. All proxies that support HTTP/2 implicitly support gRPC.
>
> But at that point it isn't really REST. The single request-single response semantics are lost. The error codes don't map cleanly to the operations. In some cases they do, but not generally.

No, you'd still have that: you'd be doing more than one request/response in a linked way.
I agree with what you say. Your doctor didn't give you enough information; then gave you not great advice; then didn't believe you about discontinuation / withdrawal.

It's weird that people are questioning your experience here, because what you describe is sadly a common experience.

Anti-depressant medication does save life, and hopefully doctors are becoming more aware of the withdrawal / discontinuation effects.

My doctor actually transitioned me to Prozac from Effexor to help with the withdrawal symptoms. After slowly reducing the Effexor dosage to 37.5 mg, I switched to Prozac for a couple of weeks then simply stopped. I still experienced some symptoms but nothing like my previous (failed) attempts to quit.

Aside from the dizziness and head fog, the most unsettling side-effect of Effexor withdrawal was the ease with which I would become very angry... I'm NOT an angry person. At all. Also the... I hesitate to say "suicidal" thoughts because I don't think that's what it was. It was more of an indifference towards whether I lived or died.

After a few months it became clear to me that I still needed something, though nothing as strong as Effexor. Now I'm on a very low dose (10 mg) Lexapro. Combined with regular exercise I seem to have struck the right balance.
The successive convolutional layers in popular CNN architectures learn representations from very general (edges) to very specific (dog breeds) from the input to the last conv. layer respectively. Depending on how different your new domain is will dictate on what layer you will take the CNN representation from (early layers or later layers) and whether a generic ImageNet model will work at all.

Of course if your new domain is very different than the distribution of the original training data, it is a good technique to fine-tune the network a bit with your data.
Precisely! Post hoc, I figured out that he must have meant responses to an assay, which makes sense in context, but like, I would have expected someone with any stats background whatsoever to be able to clarify.
Societally we need to fix politics. There are some really easy things we can go after first in fact. To start with removing monied interests from politics by passing laws to counteract citizen's united would help, supporting proportional representation to invalidate any efforts to gerrymander maps and allow the expression of minority opinions would also help and, the big bad one, by adopting proportional representation (either via STV or some sort of mixed member balance) we could destroy America's two party system, this would discourage negative campaigning and ideally let in collation governance which is much more resistant to corruption.

After all that we could regroup and discuss how to ensure people in need get an appropriate amount of vital services.
>>'if you give poor people more resources, its good for everyone')

It's not 'poor people' vs. 'rich people' but the majority vs. a minority.

>>"Economics, as the expression of human beings exchanging with each other, accepts neither."

Economics? what do you mean? There are theories that, in a less simplistic way, come to propose one and the other.
Very cool. I've been doing some research on DBs and how deep learning researchers connect them to their data pipelines, but this is the first open source one I've seen explicitly designed around that purpose. One thing I noticed is that LMDB is quite widely used, at least according to my research... At least one paper I read said the following: "LMDB database files . . . are predominant in the deep learning community" [1]. What makes EuclidesDB different than LMDB?

I think more pertinent are Economism by James Kwak (on the naive use of Econ 101), Global Inequality by Branko Milanovic (a better, or at least much more legible, analysis of inequality within and among countries than Piketty's tome), and maybe Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right by Jane Mayer (about campaign financing in the last two decades in the US).
I am not talking about automating things, but rather setting up a system of self-governance. What if posting a video required you to review other peoples' videos to earn the right to post? And if you deviate from the majority opinion you get penalized?

Well if you want to make money from those other people, or have easier access to whats happening in the world globally, yes.

You may want to check out my lib, compose-regexp, which serves a similar purpose with a smaller API and weight (< 1KB mingzipped).

Named captures can be created with the following helper (with an example that parses strings):

import {avoid, capture, either, sequence, suffix} from 'compose-regexp'

function makeNamedCaptures(indices) {
let i = 1
return function namedCapture(name, exp) {
if (indices.hasOwnProperty(name)) {
throw new Error("\"" + name + "\" is already used as a capture name")
}
indices[name] = i ++
return capture(exp)
}
}

const captureIndices = {}, namedCapture = makeNamedCaptures(captureIndices)

const zeroPlus = suffix('*')
const any = /[\s\S]/
const anyNonReturn = /./

const stringMatcher = sequence(
namedCapture("quote", /['"]/),
zeroPlus(
avoid(ref(captureIndices.quote)),
either(
sequence('\\', any),
anyNonReturn
)
),
ref(captureIndices.quote)
)

// stringMatcher is actually a plain regexp:
console.log(`"foo'\\"'bar"baz`.match(stringMatcher))
// --> [ '"foo\'\\"\'bar"', '"', index: 0, input: '"foo\'\\"\'bar"baz' ]

You can off course parse strings without using back references, the goal here is to provide an example with a simple grammar that you can follow along.

For complex grammar with sub-parts, you can wrap the sb-patterns in functions and inject the `namedCapture` as a parameter.

These flurry of NYTimes favorable articles on China, the last few days, is....fascinating. It's almost like those with vested interests knew a huge crash is about to come to China in 2019, and is trying to unload some investments.

However, the ever connected world is not blind, and can see the dramatic fall China has suffered in the last 2 years in terms of stock market, yuan weakness, capital outflow, human rights, massive debts, international relations, factories leaving, fake GDPs, and much more. $250B in tariff on Chinese imports in January 2019, followed up with potentially rest of the $600B in tariff on Chinese imports in 2019, will crash China.

What little I know about Japanese law is from English translations of the Ace Attorney series, but one of the clear things from those (silly) games is that Japan seems to have a guilty-until-proven-innocent approach in courts.

(This seems somewhat mitigated by prosecutors supposedly not even bringing innocent people forward to trial at all, but in the Ace Attorney series the number of cheating prosecutors doesn't seem to make it a very trustworthy system. Then again, given there wouldn't be trials for the games' defendant protagonists to solve if that weren't the case, it may be anecdotally skewed for the benefits of gameplay. Given how much psychic powers factor into the series, I try to make no assumptions.)
While it's necessary to possess a substantial amount of knowledge, I would argue that people who are older and have even more knowledge in the field are usually too accepting of the current information to question it enough to change it.

Einstein started working on general relativity at 28, and Heisenberg published the uncertainty principle at 26. While Planck and Born were older for their most famed work (late 30s?), they were still relatively young.

I would argue that this seems to show that there is some higher likelihood in a scientific epiphany at a young age, when you've yet to accept information as undoubtedly true, and instead are questioning it as you're learning.

> Semantics of GraphQL enable a schema-dependent set of queries, not arbitrary queries.

That's a bad test. It mainly just filters out shows filmed in front of a live audience.

If you film a comedy in front of a live audience, the actors have to adjust their delivery to speak around the laughter. If you take the laughter out of the final cut the pauses were the actors were waiting for the laughter to die down make it weird and awkward.

If a scene only needs one or two takes to get right, they can just go with the laughter from the live audience. If it takes several takes, they will still be getting laughter from the live audience, and so changing the timing of the delivery, but it won't be as intense as it should be for the quality of the joke, and if that live laughter was used it could change the perception of the joke for the broadcast audience. (Our perception of a joke is influenced by how we think others perceive it).

Hence, if you use a late take you need to replace the late take live laughter with either earlier take live laughter or laughter from a laugh library.
