DNA is not medical data? It's obvious that it is and disingenuous to pretend it is not in order to avoid compliance with the law.

Galvin's sample, along with other cold cases, was pulled out of evidence storage and analyzed in 2002. Your assertion is that that analysis did not in fact use the legal tools at the time for this, but instead used the microarray Paradon currently uses with the same ~700k SNP points, and that this microarray was somehow commercially available and being used by law enforcement to analyze cold cases in 2002? That is a remarkable claim.
It is possible, people are just worried that it will not happen. Think about how many “biological” or evolutionary traits/priorities we have changed over such a short time.
PowerShell is a relatively recent default inclusion in Windows, and it's not marketed or thought of as "You can build your own games with it!"

Bookstores used to be packed with things like "The Big Book of Computer Games" and magazines with program listings for interesting programs you'd type in (a task my mother and I shared). A blog/video series about using PowerShell for simple games would be pretty interesting.

Windows default file editors aren't that great either. The C64's full screen editor was designed for entering and editing BASIC programs, very visually.
I'm curious what the practical repercussions would actually be if it came out that Facebook was just flat-out lying about this the whole time.

Yeah the racket community is super sweet. What can I say though, I like the Common Lisp experience. Slime/sly are appealing, as is the totally cross sectional view from high level code to machine code. There’s a lot to like.

I should give racket a second shot though. I love Chez.

One of the tough things about open source software and especially HomeAssistant (long time user here!) is that HomeAssistant connects to many services, a lot of which use some sort of oAuth protocol, which in turn requires a client key/client secret, which can't be embedded in the software. For Nest, it requires every installation/user to create a new key/application with Nest/Google, for what in many ways is the same software. There must be a better way - in the end all that's being given back is a client key which is used in the actual authentication.
It would help if the damages were calculated as a percentage of revenue (or maybe equity) of the largest company involved in the clam.

Mirimax subcontracted to a fly by night organization that sent 10,000 bogus takedown requests? Great. The damages are 10% of revenue. Since Disney is the parent, that would include Disney theme park tickets, cruise ships, the entire Star Wars franchise, etc.

A 1% revenue hit per 1000 take downs seems completely proportional to me. To go after trolls with no revenue, add in a fine for 10x whatever ad revenue they raked in by camping on the disputed rights.

To make sure these get litigated, make sure the damages go to the victim and their lawyers (not google, etc), and also tack on legal fees.
Yes. That's a MILP. And if we think SAT solvers are useful and underused, wait till you start working with MILP solvers.
I keep finding most of those papers obvious on their face and quite simple to derive from first principles and some observation. What happened to teaching that so many patently obvious concepts have to be "rediscovered" so often?

I live far enough from the equator, and get little enough sunlight exposure, that I believe I was deficient. After I started supplementing I noticed my fingernails growing stronger. I didn't anticipate this happening so I didn't save samples for objective measurement, but I clearly remember that my fingernails would easily buckle if I pressed the ends against each other, and now they do not. The cost and risk is very low, so I think it's worth it for the stronger fingernails (useful as prying tools).

if you can't disambiguate a capital gains tax from a "wealth tax", or spend 5 seconds googling the deadweight loss of various taxes, I got nothin to say man, a hacker news comment is not the place to explain these kinds of things.

We already assess property value. If you tax wealth people will try to hide it in ways they do not now. Deadweight losses of various taxes are well established facts. Capital gains taxes are lower than other taxes for a reason: capital is more sensitive to tax rates.

To me the core problem wasn't with the data model, it's just that a declarative approach to binding events and reactive updates that knockout, vue, react, etc. provide reduces significantly the amount of repetitive, boilerplate code that you need to write. All that searching for nodes, adding handlers and callbacks, then updating the DOM when data model changes is now handled by frameworks. As you've said, this is not really jQuery vs React issue at all, jQuery just provides some nice cross-browser shortcuts. The main problem IMHO in jQuery era was in keeping the binding/callback logic separated from the html templates that define the dom structure itself. In big apps it made it difficult to follow which code binds to what part of UI, and there was no way to prevent someone from binding to the same node you're working on from some completely different part of the app. Now with declarative approach it's all in the same place and it's immediately clear what handlers you have in place on any html element, making refactoring much less stressful.
You write your UI declaratively, in almost straight-line code, and never "update" anything in the UI itself. It's significantly easier to write.
I’m sure Millenials and Gen Z will have their own failings and shortcomings that will become obvious to future historians. No generation is perfect, and during happy times the flaws of the previous generation is exactly what the next generation aims to fix.

But I do believe that the Baby Boomers will go down as one of the least successful generations in modern American history. That would be survivable if their failings were purely personal, such as their poor test scores and their penchant for unprotected sex, but unfortunately their mendacity has spread into the public sector. The era of Boomer rule has been nothing but corruption and short term thinking, and they’ve left behind a country with crumbling bridges, overdrawn pension funds, two wars longer than Vietnam, an environment beginning to collapse, and trillions of dollars of student debt because they defunded the education system once they’d left. And to think they have the temerity to lecture Millenials about fiscal responsibility!
This is data that can't be taken back once the government has it. I wish people would take the concept of the government as adversary more seriously. For example, technology is used as a tool of oppression against Uighurs in Xinjiang, LGBT people in the middle east, malcontents in any number of regimes around the world.

The US is comparatively not so oppressive, but there are still plenty of unjust laws on the books and plenty of vengeful prosecutors out there. Even for those convicted of what one might rightly consider a crime, in the vast majority of those cases the punishments are designed to be more effective at "retribution" than "correction". I think it matters to be vigilant when governments are probing the boundaries of what techniques are acceptable.

True, it doesn't. I've expressed this opinion in my further reply in the thread, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19953066, and suggested the cultural shift due to desktop computing is a better angle to view this issue.

I’m inclined to agree that the source isn’t great, but it’s also the only one I’ve found that directly addresses the “Chicago is the root of our problems” mentality found in IL politics. Looking past the commentary of the paper, I think the data is sound.

Specifically it’s a response to the GP saying “Chicago is a financial disaster and it's dragging Illinois into the fire.” If that were the case, it stands to reason that the state would be spending all its money there - however, we don’t see that. Page 23, I think, illustrates it well.

> I don’t know the situation in Chicago very well

I doubt that most people on the thread do; or they would know this whole “Netflix” tax is actually old news. Chicago ruled that Netflix was subject to the tax back in 2015. ;)

Regarding discounting sources as irrelevant if they don’t address inefficiency - wouldn’t that rule out most sources that talk about ... well, practically anything political?

If I twist my ankle and exclaim "fuck!", would that be in violation? It's not a dumb question, there are some people who are genuinely offended by that sort of language. Would the rules back them up, or me?

In theory I'm in favor of these sort of rules, but I hope they leave some wiggle room for common sense, preferably erroring on the side of tolerance.
How? A large percentage of power and money is still in Boomer hands at this point in time. It’s not yet Millenial’s culture to change.

Heck, we haven’t really properly transferred power from the Boomers to Gen X yet.

i dont think you really get very deep into it by reading code without working with it. sure, there are surface syntactic niceties one can bikeshed.

the real meat of the matter comes when you are trying to make a change. is the structure robust? is there convenient tooling that helps you do what you need to do? does the system require extensive boilerplate to do simple things? does the system come crashing down in some unrelated area when you are trying to make simple changes?

it may be surprising, but large old codebases usually have huge hunks that serve no real purpose whatsoever except to glue together two pieces that would be much happier talking directly to one another.

I really wish as a community we could abandon the 70s business notion that software is a concrete artifact that one invests in and sells. its a really poor model. software is a process. code that is not being maintained is largely just dead. as developers we should be evaluating software as a living thing that responds to its environment...not as a shrink wrapped item we unbox and review on youtube.
You probably want to use SMT (which uses SAT underneath), not SAT directly. SMT solvers usually let you write constraints over numbers which is a more natural fit for your problem.

Also if you have thousands of variables, you probably shouldn't be writing SMT statements directly. Usually you have some sort of script for your problem domain that emits SMT then invokes the solver. E.g. the popular SMT solver Z3 has a very simple lisp-like syntax that's easy to emit from a script.

As for changing costs, you might be able to use simple expressions like:
costOfShippingXusingZ = 100 - numOfXusingZ * 2

Or you might use "soft constraints" that let you add weights to optional constraints.

It's important to note that with SMT/SAT solvers you generally want to keep your formulas linear or "first-order" which means don't multiply variables together if you can help it.

Everyone else is throwing out their experiences, so since none mentioned something like mine I may as well too:

Back in highschool, I worked hourly at a library for a year, and don't recall getting any paid vacation time.

Just to be clear: multi-core already works with racket places(basically running a separate racket vm thread) :).

Author here.

Yes and no -- libopcodes doesn't provide a ton of target-independent information (apart from the fields that might be populated if `insn_info_valid` is true, which it never is for x86). You can throw a bunch of different targets at it and it'll happily disassemble their outputs, but without clobber information/instruction grouping/operand extraction you're basically where you started.

Capstone and LLVM-MC are potentially better starting points (the former wraps and extends the latter). Those give us (some) instruction semantics; after that, the problem of generic decompilation starts to look an awful lot like binary lifting[1]. And (static) binary lifting is pretty hard ;)

YouTube content strikes aren't DCMA, though.

Copyright holders could file a DCMA request, but YouTube's process makes it easier while achieving the same result. This allows YouTube to satisfy large content holders by avoiding the penalties for false DCMA claims.

DCMA is intented for forcing a comapny to remove content. YouTube simply removes things without actually involving DCMA.

>To be fair, the current competition is largely a reaction to Tesla's accomplishments.

Does it really matter?

Tesla is doomed. It’s run out of early adopters and its cool factor is diminishing. The last quarter’s results indicate that demand is down. Supply issues can be spun as a positive, but if demand is weakening...

Combine that with increased competition from a half dozen well established players and the writing is on the wall.

Yes, it's not a TV show, which is why I used my own real world example. How do you approach an engineering problem? You've complained about my methodology, but haven't offered any alternative... Rational approaches are how an irrational person can solve real world problems.

I realize the role of the CEO, and I was specifically responding to the many claims that "he is an engineer". He isn't approaching this problem like an engineer, as I've said twice now, he's approaching it politically. That may be the status quo for CEO behaviour, but it is a strong deviation from an engineering approach. I also stated that this problem was caused in the first place by Boeing's business practices hamstringing their engineering practices. They have many, many amazing engineers at Boeing, many of whom voiced objections to the rush jobs and regulation gerrymandering that Boeing's business side (run specifically by the CEO) used to get this aircraft flying before it was safe. The outcome of this is very visible.
I think and hope that it is possible to make a moral, social AI. An adult in a room of children should feel responsible and empathetic toward them.

I think it affects some groups more than others. A lot of people get mistreated at Google (TVCs, women, people of color, trans people). It’s a lot of high achieving people and a high pressure environment. Inevitably some people will push others without realizing how hard they are pushing. It’s good in my opinion for people to speak out about this.
> The thing is once you "get" Grid you will never go back to any other layout.

In theory, I agree. Grid is nice for layouts. But in practice, you often can’t actually make that decision, due to browser support requirements. (And I’m not talking about IE11—it’s typically a little painful, but you can get your -ms-grid-* properties equivalent to your grid-* properties with some autoprefixer and a little extra work, when it’s page layout rather than auto content layout that you’re using the grid for.) To use it as an enhancement if present, yes, but it’s often not acceptable to require it. Thus, you need your Flexbox fallback anyway, and if there’s no functional difference between the two, well, why would you put the Grid implementation in? (If you look at the Topicbox hero area example I mentioned earlier you’ll see it handles the absence of Grid support nicely, falling back to the single-dimensional Flexbox layout used on smaller screens. If the Grid layout is different from the fallback Flexbox layout, my remarks do not apply, and using both is reasonable.)

I also observe that two-dimensional layouts are actually not common these days, and almost all of the ones that there are are trivially reducible to nested one-dimensional layouts.

> Flexbox is heavily dependent on how you place your markup which sucks from an accessibility point of view. With Grid, the layout declaration is completely dissociated with markup order (which is very important because you don't want to be juggling with both at once while setting your layout).

When you treat Grid like this, you’re neglecting an important part of accessibility: the DOM order is still very important, because it’s what accessibility tools use, and what things like Tab navigation works on. This is why using `order` to reorder things in Flexbox is normally a bad thing to do, and why you need to be cautious with any sort of reordering with Grid.

So in a way, I argue that Flexbox’s limitations actually tend to help you maintain sanity and accessibility, not break it. It’s not always the case, and it does mean that you often end up with a little presentational markup, but in practice that’s basically unavoidable for anything serious anyway. (I say that as one who spends way too long on keeping his markup unblemished.)
