I've heard of it but not used. Being able to say: "(name :type string)" looks great.

Does it mean the system gives me an error if a method is called with a number where a string was declared to be the argument type?
For my clients they basically said that if we didn't purchase and edit our page with them. That our competitors ad's would show on or page. (No mention that yelp basically puts them there.) So if we paid and setup our page they would cease to show our competitors? Nope, they would move to the bottom of the page where most visitors end up anyway.
Not really, although there are plenty of either. Making blanket statements about a group of people based on a single attribute is bad.

This article really harps on the "just donate a building like a real rich person" fallacy like so many people I've seen since this case broke.

If someone donates resources (money, a building, whatever) to the school, and the school uses that to provide more services than one student consumes, that is a net increase in the available spots for students at the school.

In this case, people bribed individuals to enrich themselves, not the school. That is a decrease in the available spots for students at the school.
As a practical matter, they are inaccessible. Nobody lives out there. There is nobody to arrest them. The ones that aren't remotely located are assimilated. In short, to
View this as a 'zoo' or something similar to Star Trek-Ian Prime Directive stuff (where we observe but don't interfere) isn't entirely accurate: these places where they live cannot be reached... the rainforest is HUGE and difficult to traverse.
To my knowledge, those "nude body" scanners (millimeter-wave or X-ray backscatter) can detect suspicious irregularities underneath clothing, but they do not specifically detect metals, and cannot search body cavities.
Sure, but that's what you think. We can't really tell that people would be fine en masse living in Soviet style apartment blocks for example. I look at average apartment sizes in the US and they're pretty big when compared to Eastern Europe.

Building permits and zoning laws definitely cause a lot of problems, but the trend of housing being unaffordable for young people in cities seems to be happening everywhere. I think there are other problems at play as well, and one of them is simply housing density vs job density. Jobs are often more densely packed than housing and this will drive up prices.

Can you be more specific about the limitations of state of the art image based object detection? Is it skewed toward false positives or false negatives? What accuracy is considered state of the art? Do you mean classification of an object in an image, or merely recognising that there is an object there?
> to my knowledge Dark Matter, as a theory, is fundamentally different from Superfluid Dark Matter.

To to be able to fit with the CMB measurements, at that scale this theory behaves exactly like a normal dark matter, so there is still 5 times more dark matter than a baryonic matter.

So it's just "more complicated" at the galaxy level than a normal dark matter, to fit with these measurements "better" too: it involves an "additional force" there. That also means, considering everything together, it's nothing that should make happy those that consider the normal dark matter "unintuitive."
I have a possibly unpopular opinion that assertion libraries that depend on throwing exceptions are bad API design for unit testing. Mainly because most test functions end up with multiple assertions in them and exceptions abort the test function early.

Many times understanding what causes a unit test failure is easier to debug if you can see the rest of the unit tests all at once.

I much prefer testing frameworks that use simple true/false tests and not exceptions like Go's unit testing library or Perl's TAP library.
Show HN: Language Map of the United States
Discoverability has long ago reduced to collaborative filtering.

It works because it services majority tastes specifically at the expense of minority ones.

Put another way, imagine you’re a PM trying to make a chart go up and to the right. Here’s a magic algorithm that gives you best users more of what they want, and ones for whom the product doesn’t work no reason to stick around so they leave.

An increasing numerator with a decreasing denominator. That’s a hyperbolic upwards curve! Promote that PM! You let the prisoners run the asylum in this case, choosing which metrics they will be evaluated on, that totally runs counter to the whole point of building platforms.

As long as your inbound user count exceeds churn due to booting out people with minority tastes—which a PM EXTREMELY RARELY had anything to do with—the PM’s career takes off.

No dude, discoverability as it is defined by every tech company is killing culture. And it’s Product Management that’s holding the knife.
Yes, ours is better developed. (Mine, maybe not yours.) Murdering people is in fact wrong no matter what family you or they grow up in.

What you need to keep in mind is that those people willing to live in small apartments or row houses are competing with other housing - including the millionaires that like having a backyard and all of that.

Most of the housing problems in western countries, from my point of view, seem to be that people want to live in places where they can't afford to live at.

I agree that housing is ridiculously regulated in many of these places, but I'm not sure that that's the only problem you have to deal with.
Elon Musk drops surprise rap single about Harambe
Which nation should they belong to? They likely consider themselves to be their own 'nation', and have for a long time. Simply because Brazil is now a thing, does not necessarily mean that Brazil should own these people and that these people should consider themselves to be a part of Brazil and be subject to its laws. There are arguments either way.

You assume that these people have no 'law' of their own. Though I cannot say either, it is entirely possible that distinguish between the ways a person is killed and they are punished accordingly. Simply because it is not your law doesn't mean they don't have their own.

The article states these tribes are rivals. They may consider themselves at war. Soldiers are not tried for killing other soldiers (within reason) in wartime, so why should rival tribesmen be tried for killing other tribesmen when they are at war?
I say it would be unfair to the tribe members to try them for something that violates our sense of right and wrong. They have never been part of the nation that occupies their territory, did not grow up with its values, never consented to be part of it.

It would be like aliens monitoring Earth and trying inhabitants for violating intergalactic space law while none of the inhabitants are even aware they are part of it.
If they're uncontacted, why SHOULD they?!

Imagine you get into a time machine and go back 10000 years. Do you try them in modern court? I wouldn't think so.

I would try thinking of these people as in a time warp. They are uncontacted, after all—they're not murdering Paulistanos, they're murdering others in their time warp.
Well, the Netflix folks claim the exact opposite :-)

Also, note that there were some quite fundamental optimizations in FreeBSD 12, such as introduction of the “epoch” mechanism - basically RCU. 11 still only uses old-fashioned locks.

No doubt. I was just curious how "generic functions" in particular could help in defining types and interfaces. I was not asking for the whole story about the whole of CLOS.
Check to see if the screws that hold down the motherboard are flexing it in any way. In the '90s we had trouble with machines coming from the factory with the screws too tight and loosening things up solved the issue. Sometimes we had to put non-conductive washers underneath the mobo because the post to which it was attached was too short.
Yes, that's a better analogy.
If you find this story intriguing, the book "Spirit of the Rainforest: A Yanomamo Shaman's Story" is an amazing journey into a similar culture of cyclical violence between neighboring tribes.
This is a horribly cynical interpretation but the new Brazilian President has said he wants to open the Amazon to logging and he doesn't care much about the indigenous people[0]

Of course if he tries anything the international community etc will protest, but if this 'rescue mission' (read: death squad with plausible deniability) can't stop the 'catastrophic jungle war' in time then the tribes kill each other off, there's no outcry and the logging begins.

Nothing. Take your salary and do your job, assuming you aren't the one stating the lies.

Being a martyr is cool and all, but I'd rather continue living.
I'm not quite sure what your 'no' is specifically in reference to. I'm also not sure what a SPOC is, and I'm not familiar with the details of the process.

But The Guardian reported in 2014 that "EE, Vodafone and Three give police mobile call records at click of a mouse", and in 2015 that "UK police requests to access phone calls or emails are granted 93% of the time", with rejection rates varying wildly by county from as high as 28% to as low as 0.1%. So it doesn't seem to be as hard as you're making out, unless things have changed wildly in the last few years. May I ask your sources?

>You don't have to believe it.

I know I don't. I asked why I should. The principle behind the question was providing rational evidence to lend credence to these stories. Your statements don't offer anything that help with this.
I don't think it's that he saw LiDAR as technically inferior, just expensive. They needed an approach that they could put in place with minimal unit cost.
Totally depends on the effect size and the threshold at which you're evaluating statistical significance. If their churn were 10x higher than Google's, 20 employees over 10 years would probably be enough to confirm the difference at a high level of confidence. But if their "true" long-run churn is "only", say, 10% higher than FAANG and friends, you would need a much larger sample to identify that.

N.B.: Even a 10% increase in employee churn is expensive in general, and even more so when your recruiters make as much as your senior engineers.

The implementation was botched, but the idea was fine.

You need good quality tests that aren't supplied by book publishers. Ideally you'd test anything, but if tests are unavailable for a particular subject then you have to mandate hours for that subject to keep it from disappearing. You need test security so that the teachers don't cheat.

Instead of just cutting pay, which isn't helpful, you should pay per-student and adjust the number of students per teacher. It is easy to teach a very small group, but very hard to teach a large group. Shift students from bad teachers to good teachers until the quality is equalized. Unfortunately this hits a problem with standardized classroom size. Aside from that though, it would be fine to have one teacher with 9 students and another teacher with 72 students. The teacher with 75 is getting paid 8x as much as the teacher with 9, and the students all get equal quality.
And I should have actually read upthread when you mentioned it, before I commented. ;)

Agreed, you have to re-use a bag many times before it’s neutral. I guess what I’m trying to say is that neutral isn’t where plastic bags are, so it might be more fair to ask the question how many time do you re-use a cotton bag before it’s better than a single-use plastic bag. And it’s plausible that number is closer to, say 10, than 130.

And I don’t doubt for a second that you have to re-use a bag many times before it’s neutral, but I’ve looked into the specific numbers cited many times before and always found that it was more guessestimate than science. The number might be 130, or it might be 25 or 227 or 632 or 3. We can’t talk about specific numbers with talking about very specific bags and knowing every detail of the production and distribution process, which is too hard to do in reality. So I always take them with a grain of salt.

Like you, I’m actually confident the lawmakers do not have the science pinned down, I’m guessing more that they have strong enough public and business support to offset those against, and that it’s widely believed to be a net positive. It might be more specific to New York though, it might be more about visible litter than environmental concerns.

Thanks for the explanation, I hear your concerns about the law that was passed. It’s not at all a clear win for your personal situation.
Are personal amounts of raw-milk cheese restricted or prohibited from entry into the US? This CBP page says nothing about raw cheese or pasteurization. It clearly states that hard and semi-soft cheeses are fine to bring in passenger baggage, as long as they don't contain meat.

Just because the FDA requires raw-milk cheeses to have aged for at least 60 days in order to be sold in the USA, that doesn't mean you can't bring some in with you and consume it.

As far as I know, yes.

If you run the Linux ME reporting tool and it is identified, then ME is awaiting provisioning and commands.

No. Systems which don't advertise vPro support probably don't include the necessary firmware even if the hardware is capable of supporting it.
Depends how senior the devs in question were and how competitive their interviewing abilities were. Junior devs who don't interview well are easier to retain for example.

Also, top companies have a problem because they are top companies. Working there is a signal to other employers that you're top talent as vetted by a top company. That increases the values of offers thrown at you and eventually one may be enough to pry you out.
It's hard to find sources measuring weight/volume, but usually goes something like this:

And the global contribution to ocean debris is 3.95 trillion bags each year

> Ketchup was not invented in the United States. It began as a fermented fish sauce — sans tomatoes — in early China. British sailors bought the sauce, called ke-tsiap or ke-tchup by 17th-century Chinese and Indonesian traders, to provide relief from the dry and mundane hardtack and salt pork they ate aboard ship. Over the next couple of centuries, ketchup spread throughout the British Empire, traveling around the world with the navy.

Supposedly Asian fish sauces are similar to both Worcestershire sauce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcestershire_sauce and the ancient Roman garum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garum .

Murder is wrong because murder has a specific definition, and the society that we live in has defined that as wrong. A soldier killing a soldier is allowed during wartime (generally). We have judged that differently. There are a number of reasons why you might kill a person. Some are allowed, and some aren't. It is a fact that your society has a law prohibiting civilians committing murder. Whether the killing of a person is "right" or "wrong" by law is a moral judgement - not a fact - depending on who did it, how they did it, when it was done, and how your culture combines those factors. These tribes likely have similar beliefs, they just might be different to yours. Assuming yours is are the 'correct' ones, is arrogant.
oh man, labeling the preachers of this as "gurus" is perfect -- it's always one pseudo-intellectual convincing a group of followers lol.

It has to be exhausting dealing w/delusional people.
I think motivation to stay is the positive. Like you genuinely like going to your job.

Reluctance to leave is that even if you don't like your job, leaving is even more painful, maybe due to the loss of salary, or because the interview process is too much of a hassle, or other opportunities are just as bad if not worse, etc.
There might be a net increase in available resources for each student, but there's no evidence to support that there would be net increase in available spots.

e.g. Donating $25MM for a gym clearly gives students a nicer gym. It does not necessarily enlarge the size of the undergraduate matriculating class, year over year.

We’re specifically talking about remote workers here. The fact that some companies pay more for non-remote people doesn’t really come into it. If you’re hiring remotely, it makes no sense to pay more for an equivalent employee who lives in a more expensive area.

I think that is also Netflix vs Blockbuster. Netflix had no problem with showing you some odd French Film from the 1950's.

I do think that the rise Amazon + Big Box Store + Offshoring meant resulted the disappearance of the power of distribution buyers. Manufacturers typically sell into a distribution chain. Old school the buyers in that chain would enforce some standard of quality. AKA their were a couple of of buyers for the various distributors that knew every model of toilet brush on the market. And if a model sucked they wouldn't order any it no mater how cheap it was.
Studies show landfills are the source for 80% of plastic waste found in the oceans, presumably coming from badly managed landfills where garbage washed out by rain, or illegal dumping.
Not to mention that it just poses a security risk, to YOU (the consumer). More places that have your data means more ways for it to leak.

Your message is a little confusing to me because it seems like you're selling something for the moment (present), while the network is being built (short-term future), with most of the website instead focusing on unrelated and highly futuristic possibilities (long-term future.)

The number of buzzwords on the home page alone also made me think it was a bunch of amateurs trying to ride the hype train. I'm still a little unsure what you guys are building now. Is it a decentralized file storage network like Storj, together with (somewhat) verifiable computing (like Golem)? If it is then I'd probably simplify your message and talk about the future research outcomes somewhere else. Simply because its going to be hard enough to explain how just decentralized storage and computing work.

"vexatious litigants" -- lmfao
The stone age natives of North Sentinel Island have no resistance to disease and large numbers of them died the last time they had contact with the outside world. Thus, they have adopted the custom of killing anyone who comes on their little island and the Indian government leaves them alone. The alternative to them killing anyone who comes on their island out of curiosity or whatever would be the genocide of their tribe.

The Brazillian government is probably going to kill a whole bunch of the tribe they are trying to save by making contact with them simply through the diseases they will bring.
