I agree, i'm not aware of a state where it does (except by settlement agreement, as you say).
I think i misunderstood the question.
I thought they were asking whether there was a standard way alimony is calculated, and whether there is a standard way to do asset division.

I tried to answer both - The asset division depends on the state, and the alimony does have standard calculators in every state.
These are two unrelated things, as you say.

Ask HN: How do I teach my parents to use a computer?
My parents are barely able to use a computer. Beyond Google and a few Office programs, they are completely unable to perform tasks that we, as programmers, consider trivial. To put things in perspective, they cannot usually cut and paste text without my help.

I have been living at home due to my own circumstances, so I have been able to help them. However, I am deeply afraid that they will be in deep trouble when I finally move out. I fear that they will have extreme difficulty performing basic tasks as more things go online and paperless.

Anyone here have experience educating their elders on technology? Any resources to help with this? Any classes or books? Any ways to make it seem less intimidating? What are your insights?
I enjoy Elixir tremendously, but usually I’m forced to use another language (Python) due to popularity, not technical merits.

It’s hard to sell anything that’s not in the TIOBE top 10.

To answer your comment more directly though, for many systems the benefits of excellent concurrency, monitorability, and fault tolerance can outweigh those of a strong type system or raw performance. It really depends what you’re doing, and how your team likes to work. No such thing as a silver bullet and all that.

Nice!

Had an idea to make a website for my wedding too (married one year ago), but in the end, decided to go with traditional paper invitations as would be difficult to explain to older people how to RSVP and paper invitations would be more cost-efficient (By comparing the time needed to build the website with my hourly rate).

For big Indian weddings with hundreds of people, I do see that the website can benefit by not needing to contact each person about RSVP status.
We have a few touchscreens in the office loaded with https://realtimeboard.com and https://awwapp.com/ in full screen. You can save your doodles straight to Google Drive. Works like a charm.
Lastly, this document reads as if knowing a full path grants access to that path and its subdirectories. If that's the case ... oy.

Indeed. When I read...

As a consequence, this implies that a handle to a directory can be upgraded arbitrarily to access the entire filesystem.

...I was wondering whether the author even knows what filesystem permissions are and how they work. I say let the filesystem handle resolving relative paths; and let the permissions system handle the check on whether one is allowed to access the referenced object.
Probably the most obvious example is when Google almost destroyed the entire RSS ecosystem with Google Reader.
Sag A* is not a quasar. If it were, it would be the brightest thing in the sky by several orders or magnitude.
Hooo boy, that is scary!
There are still valid reasons for not using ssl for everything. Internal facing sites, device admin pages, development servers etc. If I have to deal with obnoxious warning pages doing local Node.js development & testing I’m switching browsers.
Nope, that actually 404's. It may appear to work, because most browsers will apply some equivalent to the `__fdio_cleanpath()` function mentioned in the article, resolving the traversal locally.

You can verify this as follows:

curl -I --path-as-is 'https://github.com/fuchsia-mirror/docs/blob/master/the-book/../../master/the-book/dotdot.md'
Ah interesting, I think this is the disconnect I always have, I've never used their cloud based version.

This reinforces for me that JIRA should always be self hosted.
The tradition for many in the US (in my experience, at least—it's far from universal, of course) is that the paper invitation is considered "official"—often even more-so than an in-person invite. In-person invites are still welcome, of course, but they're often seen as informal.

Since a mailed invitation is already considered by many to be the most formal route, it makes sense that electronic invites have gained popularity—especially for those looking to save money (printing fancy invitations and mailing them easily costs hundreds of dollars).

When I got married in 2006, we sent paper invitations with postage-paid RSVP response cards. They were custom-printed by a local printer. Between printing and postage costs, we must have spent over $500 on invitations alone. This was for a very traditional wedding in Michigan.
things like layer 7 control, you can say - "don't allow HTTP GET on /supersecret". Also, Isito is gRPC aware
I wonder if the effects of automation, which the previous commenter alluded to, contributed significantly to this phenomenon...

Indian weddings don't care about RSVP count, there is no assigned seating :D.
Amazon is succeeding despite of this. Imagine where it could be it if was also fast!

"Montessori" on its own does not mean too much: there are large gaps between AMI Montessori and Froebel, London School etc.

AMI only accepts trainee teachers who have already have a bachelors (as a minimum) and their pedagogy seems to be more rooted in experimental results than simply psychological theories (see e.g. Angeline Lillard's book for further details http://www.montessori-science.org/montessori_science_genius.... )
> Mich: Ermm, OK!

There is a typo.
> complicated rules for borrowing and simplifying [..] or they had nothing

Maybe you can explain what you are referring to here?

Ancient Greeks and Romans simply did not do arithmetic with pen and paper. They used a counting board with counters or pebbles (“calculi”), or for simpler problems used their fingers or did the work in their heads.

Doing computation was literally called “placing pebbles”, and to settle accounts with someone you would “call them to the pebbles”.

Roman numerals were not a tool for computation. They were a tool for recording data or results. The purpose of Roman numerals was to faithfully record in writing the placement of counters on a counting board. The position of the counting board (or perhaps in some contexts a pile of coins of various denominations) was the primary representation of numbers, and Roman numerals were secondary.
NY Top Court: Immigrants Are Entitled to Jury Trials If Deportation Can Result
I don't think so. I think the more correct way to frame it would be that they are charging for access to the space in a user's feed. Like renting billboard space, except the user data makes it very easy to understand where you should put that billboard.
Private Montessori schools often have a much higher pupil/teacher ratio than public schools: the age-mixed structure of the class which encourages children more adept in particular tasks to work with those who are less adept makes this metric less important.
They already did this experiment years ago. They had a product called Pylon with Datasift. Rumor had it people thought it was a cool idea, in theory, but few people had any practical uses for it.
I guess the limit could be avoided by using only one endpoint and use the path and HTTP method to decide which logic to execute though.
You’re not wrong. This is totally a “wow, these businesses will not give up on this idea, so fine, we’ll sell them this oil.” The problem is that too many business CTO’s are hearing these buzzwords can _have_ to jump on the action. They want a distributed system that isn’t distributed. I keep arguing that what businesses really want is a ledge implemented in git with OTs. They want trusted individuals to be able to commit while not having to wait for clearing systems to process. But, that’s too much for CTO’s to comprehend.
Glad you guys worked it out.
Are you a developer? PM? Something else?
Yes, I agree that this is the factual reason why. But doesn't it seem odd that these are coincidental? I think it might not be a coincidence.
All part of the new antisemitism. It's become all too acceptable. Here's another example:

> Students with parents engaged in their education do better

IMHO this is the crucial thing. And it is one of the aspects of Montessori that some parents who are simply aspirational-consumers are a bit thrown by initially.
It’s a test tunnel, you would get the improvement when more are made.
The accompaniment examples are cool. That would be a very nice tool to have. Just play a melody and it auto-generates an accompaniment.
I'd argue that competitors flourished when Google Reader went down. I still use RSS today.

Besides, it's certainly not their responsibility to maintain a service indefinitely.
But there are at least 4 competitors
There is something disingenuous and false about those who have been pushing ssl 'vehemently' on the pretext of concern end user privacy and surveillance.

It would be slightly more credible if the response by the tech community both in comment and action to Snowden and Assange's revelations and invasive surveillance by Google, Facebook and others was not so embarrassing in inaction.

One can argue of degrees and doing both, but in this case it seems all the 'concern' gets expended in ssl leaving no energy for the far more pervasive SV surveillance culture the tech community props up without protest or even leaks.
You are a visionary beyond our times.
But more people need these work spaces as they can't work in the closet like apartments they are sharing with 2-3 other people. You are correct in saying it's because cost of real estate
What kind of code have you been writing? For most Rust code that I write and read, I find almost no lifetime annotations are needed.
Can you send me a copy of what you are trying to extract? We use proprietary stuff (we're in the business of extracting data and performing analysis on invoices for waste, recycling, cellular, etc... stuff that gets "lost" in the AP department.

Happy to see if our tools can help. I've tried everything on the market - DocParser, MediusFlow, KOFAX, Ephesoft, etc... none work well enough in my opinion.
Mostly, but to be fair they have also gotten quite a bit cheaper, now merely hundreds of dollars a year, down from thousands... which is a lot more than OV or DV, but not a huge bar to entry.
You’re saying something like Cravath would improve the situation and be fairer assessments than grading on absolute scores. I was in a class where a curve was non-existent - 30% of the class got above 90%, 45% got below 60%. What would be “fair” then?

Perhaps methods to decouple evaluation scores from student grades should be better explored without antagonizing anyone? Perhaps scores after the first week should be compared to scores mid-way and then last?

Maybe all of that temporal basis is flawed too and we need to try crazier things. A weirder option could be to randomize the evaluations given back to teachers and to have the teachers select which ones seem to be theirs and some consideration is given to professors that are accurate for themselves. Basically it’d be a test of whether a teacher could identify their own teaching methods’ strengths and faults in contrast with other teachers’ and encourage diversity in styles among faculty. If a teacher wants to grade hard, I think they should be free to do so if it’s shown to be in students’ best interests. This is vaguely similar to how classifiers in machine learning training works but with a really different goal in mind.
I'm in Kyushu. Seikisui houses cost 150-300k here on average. The house I personally want (saw at house demo place) is 750k. It's really nice!! In California that might buy a 3br in the outskirts of LA buy it won't be nice. The house I saw, in California would probably go for 1.5-3 mil in southern parts and much higher in SF.
It's not family and friends, first of all.

I haven't started working on anything else or for anyone else - I just no longer believe this venture is going to work out and thus have planned to exit. My co-founders don't agree with my assessment.
Has a consensus-based approach been proven "best"? New York would be much worse off today if not for Robert Moses ramming through much-needed and innotative infrastructure. Consensus, in practice, amounts to giving everyone the power to veto massive projects, and widespread veto power leads to paralysis and weakness. You need strong central authority to actually make decisions and get things to happen.
I don’t think this should be so downvoted. I think there’s a bunch of people on this thread downvoting anything that’s pro-tunnels.

Well MCM is not how Romans would write this except in rare cases. That one did not become a standard form until Medieval Europe.

MDCCCC is absolutely a more direct representation of the counters on a counting board than 1900. Each letter precisely represents one counter and its position.

But if you want, you can make a counting board with a line down the middle and use one side for negative values, in which case MCM would be a pretty direct representation of that. (It is unclear whether this was the origin of such numerals; we don’t have a whole lot of evidence about how calculation on ancient counting boards was done, because it was largely part of oral culture.)

End of Space – Creating a Prison for Humanity
We need something akin to SELinux/Mandatory Access Control, but that's user friendly for consumer devices while also being fine-grained, meaning you can give programs permissions to access your photos, contacts, etc. but you can also audit and control the individual points of data that are being accessed. Then, once you're comfortable with the access patterns, you can automate approval if you trust the application/institution enough.
"The journalists have been paid their tokens" - have they? As far as I understand from the article, the journalists have not received any tokens, as the creation and distribution of the tokens was to be done after the initial sale, which failed, so the creation of these tokens was postponed, so they have been promised a set number of tokens that don't exist yet.

No need to package them in a pleasing way, but factually is important. No special kind of respect or consideration is necessary -- just don't tell other people what experiences they have or have not had based on their skin color when you know nothing about them.
I remember being at the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference in the early 2000s. Lots of UNIX-loving people had just bought their first Mac laptops and basically the whole room was taking notes in a single SubEthaEdit doc via BonJour[1]. Some people were typing verbatim notes from panelists, others were going back and fixing typos and spelling, still others were researching topics that had been mentioned, contextualizing them, and adding links.

In the end we all had a clean, detailed, copyedited document. It was a pretty amazing experience. I was sure I'd just witnessed the future of collaboration for lectures and conferences[2].

[1]At the time, SubEthaEdit was called "Hydra" and BonJour was still "Rendezvous".
[2]I guess the actual future turned out to mostly be scrolling though Twitter. c'est la vie.

If those calculations are business rules, then you absolutely do need to make it output the same as the old system in those ways because its the foundation upon which a bunch of assumptions are made.
Two different situations. Google is making a tool designed for immediate oppression. Microsoft is making a tool for a defense force. Of course that defense force has been used immorally in the recent past, but it is a necessity of life and will remain one in perpetuity.
What the White House got wrong about the latest climate report: everything
Yes, but that's just enough obfuscation for them to deny any claim they do charge. But from the free content I was able to see on this WSJ article (not a subscriber) they considered charging businesses in addition to users. Perhaps in the same way they charge for access to user data in France. Where some Facebook users can only see, for example, the first friend photo. The rest of the friend photos then appear behind a paywall. I saw this just last week actually in Indonesia from a tourist trying to show me some photos of his girlfriend back home—only he couldn't because the mobile app his the images of his friends behind a content upgrade.
I was specifically speaking with regard to this offering. AWS has a pretty mature certification program (though I think was recently outsourced), so I figured they would have some sort of certification track to motivate people to consume their educational resources.
The Hidden Benefits of Launching Your Tech Startup in Latin America
Ha, I just left a job that had multiple VB6 apps and services that we were actively maintaining and extending. Getting the development environment setup wasn't too bad. What drove me bat shit crazy, was the fact that the mouse scroll wheel isn't supported in the IDE.

I was part of the third team that left in as many years. Just another lesson of a single individual being the only decision maker across all departments.

It was kind of sad everyone came in trying their best to improve the software and environment, but they were quickly shot down by their boss. If you didn't copy paste his code you'd get a snarky email a few days later about not following the guidelines, that were never written down mind you.

My lesson for rewriting a legacy application, have the right management in place. If there is an old dev that does not want to change, the project is a waste of time and money, he'll have more sway over the executive team and often get his way.
> Airbnb to Remove Listings in Jewish West Bank Settlements

Israeli West Bank settlements is the issue, though the Israeli government and it's backers tend to conflate the two things in order to dismiss criticism of government policy as anti-Semitism.

No, they are enclaves most world powers consider illegal for taking up land in the State of Palestine, which most of the world already recognizes.
I guess pagerank counts as machine learning; totally not AI though.

Maybe translators is a good example. Machine translations actually are pretty crude, and IMO they got worse when they started using "advanced" stuff like dweeb learning; KNN was better. KNN is usually better, as it just uses the data, rather han a model of the data.

The other examples are not even in the ballpark. They're just algorithms.

See, when you say "in the end AI will kill most jobs" -people keep saying that, and it keeps not happening. I mean, you might be totally right, but it sure as hell isn't happening real fast or in any obvious way. If I look at the 8086 world of the late 1980s, it isn't super different from now. What awesome human superpower do I have thanks to 'AI?'
Because it is _even more_ stupid idea than any of the US wars in the last 20 years.
In tesseract, if you want to recognize both English and German you can use option -l deu+eng.

If you want to perform language detection you can do the following:

a. Invoke tesseract with "-l eng".

b. Pass the output text to langdetect [1]. It is a port of Google's language detection library to Python which will give you the probabilities of the languages for a given text.

c. Invoke tesseract with "-l langdetect_output"

Note that langdetect generates 2 character codes (ISO 639-1) whereas tesseract expects 3 character codes (ISO 639-2).

I think vertical, pesticide-free farming could be beneficial. But I don't see any reason to make it urban. We benefit from farming being very specialized, and it seems like putting it around other human activity would just make it more difficult than it needs to be.
If anyone is watching this thread I paid the bet off to the Chicago Legal Clinic
Wow, CLIM looks cool! Feels feels like a kind of shell that is really useful and usable. Unfortunately Wikipedia says it's just a programming interface for creating GUIs (which I'm going to give a try nevertheless, I actually happen to be interested in creating GUIs). I wish my actual terminal shell was like that and LISP was the language I interacted with it in. Writing complex commands, needless to say scripts in bash is such a headache...
Airbnb Abandons Its Superhosts
I am an Airbnb Superhost. This means that all of my reviews are five stars and I have never cancelled on a guest. I’ve been doing this for four years. My listing has a very clear rule: if you smoke anything in the apartment, you will lose your $250 security deposit. This is substantially similar to the penalties imposed by every major hotel chain and, until recently, was never a problem. I actually don’t care if you smoke; just if it smells like smoke when you leave. And this guest not only smoked in the apartment but left ashes on the window sill, rolling papers on the counter, and tobacco crumbs on the floor. I submitted photographic evidence to Airbnb through their “request money from guest” function. I was immediately met wit hostility from the support team. It didn’t matter that the listing explicitly stated the smoking penalty IN ALL CAPS or that the guest had implicitly agreed to this by booking. Airbnb demanded evidence that I had incurred costs (receipts? I pay my 70 year old Jamaican house cleaner in cash, sorry). I explained the listing is clear about this penalty but that didn’t matter. All they offered me was $40. I appealed the decision. The appeal resulted in the $40 being revoked because I had not submitted any evidence that I even incurred that expense. All I can conclude from this is that Airbnb doesn’t care about its hosts anymore. They’re building their own apartments and don’t need us anymore. Thanks, Brian.
Yes that was a typo.
I'm pretty sure that's actually impossible. If someone registers a domain and cert that's essentially a homoglyph attack against a common website, you're basically stuck with heuristics to detect it. You need a global database of targetable domains that supports similarity checking with arbitrary Unicode. You need some kind of fuzzy hash of the website to see whether the website your user is looking at is actually an imitation or just happens to legitimately have a similar name. It will be messy at best.
