Yeah I agree with @ff_57 here - the "breaking changes" really aren't a big deal, and don't effect many libraries. With the existing tool chain you will know immediately if a library has any of these incompatibilities, and if it does, the fix is likely some white space issue, which is trivial to fix.
Adding in female mice (who go through estrus cycles) is probably going to mess up your results and make them even harder to interpret.

The article and its linked sources address this point, citing two meta-analyses regarding mice and rats in neuroscience:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24456941

"The underrepresentation of female mice in neuroscience and biomedical research is based on the assumption that females are intrinsically more variable than males and must be tested at each of four stages of the estrous cycle to generate reliable data. Neither belief is empirically based. [...] Utilization of female mice in neuroscience research does not require monitoring of the estrous cycle."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27468347

"Across all traits, there were no sex differences in trait variability, as indicated by the CV, and there were no sex differences in any of the four neuroscience categories, even in instances in which mean values for males and females were significantly different. Female rats were not more variable at any stage of the estrous cycle than male rats."
He is. And he is currently running the tildes.net non-profit, so I guess that says a bit ;)
I think that kythe(https://kythe.io/) is somewhat similar. But I think that it has more of an emphasis on the graph schema.

This seems like a question that has previously been answered and that is why we register software copyright as a literary work. It seems unless actual text was copied, it's not a violation. I've recently started learning more about this, so I could be wrong.
Do you mean overstated? If the comparison can't be understated, that implies that it's completely irrelevant and should be ignored; the rest of your comment seems to argue the opposite.
Suppose you test for 1 true positive out of 1001 cases.

You are likely to find the actual positive and 50 false ones.

However, that’s with a single test. If you run 5+ different tests you are likely able to distinguish the true positive.

Lets say I am a random dude writing one off blog on medium.com. Will the user be still subjects to "5 free articles" per month? Will user be subjected to "Lets make things official" or is the quota only for firewall/paywalled articles?
You can do that, but your project would no longer be Open Source by the commonly accepted standard definition[1].

Personally, while I understand and appreciate the sentiment behind this, I don't think doing this kind of thing accomplishes very much, and I'd recommend against it. YMMV, of course.

don't want to point fingers here but when they start yet another "FOSS project as service on their platform"? mainly i don't want to prevent other startups or mid size companies from using it, but the big platforms have a tendency to just change or tweak the project in small way to suit their platform which causes incompatibilities with upstream, secondly imho it is not fair for the project, since the project is trying to survive while these platforms get bigger and mint money off project contributors work without ever giving back or affecting it adversely sometimes by taking control of the project.

Here's an article that mentions a few of them: http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/clinical/clinical-specialties/pr...

> For example, for every thousand low-risk patients prescribed statins for primary prevention, only a single stroke is prevented per year. Meanwhile, you would need to treat more than a thousand people with antihypertensive therapy per year to prevent one death. This is a far higher NNT than that of many interventions GPs are advised against prescribing due to lack of efficacy.

https://www.bmj.com/content/348/bmj.g3458/rr/761453

> Enas bases his numbers on a 2013 Cochrane review. Enas reports that NNT equals 167 for low risk (less than 1%) and 67 for intermediate risk (1-2%) individuals. Enas reinterprets this as meaning 1000 low-risk people would need to be treated for five years to prevent six major adverse cardiovascular events. Enas notes the increased risk of type II diabetes from statin use and also estimates that 100 of the thousand people treated would have myopathy (that the same might occur with placebo is irrelevant as I will not be taking a placebo). Enas judged that the benefits of treatment in low risk subjects far outweigh any possible hazards and concluded that early and aggressive statin therapy offers the greatest potential for reducing the continuing epidemic of coronary artery disease among Indians.
Instead of abolishing single-family zoning completely, I would suggest adopting an approach more like the Japanese. They use "stacked" zoning for most uses, instead of the American-style single-use zoning. Their zoning is also done at a national level, instead of community level.

Ghost is pretty easy to set up on a $5/month Linode box, for what it's worth. That's where I host mine. Definitely took longer than entering a couple forms on Medium, but if you consider both as a % of time you'd spend writing, it shrinks to effectively nothing pretty quickly.

This is only true if you exclude the middle ground of APIs being copyrightable with fair use exceptions. In other words, you can't kick start your program by copying the structure of another, but you can create a compatibility layer to your novel program.

+1 to prototyping. Having 100 lines of python that does 20% of what you want your full component should do is probably more useful than a 10000 word document outlining 95% of what your component should do. You can lie to yourself in writing but not in code.

That being said, documenting in horrendous detail your actual requirements and your assumptions about the state of the world is more useful than either of the above. When your PM says they want something in "real time" do they mean like RTOS, seconds delayed, or "twice daily" (since the old system was a monthly batch!)? Is it ok to assume the system is 99% correct instead of 100%? Is it ok if a user sometimes gets a duplicated notification?

These types of requirements and assumptions can affect the complexity of a project 10x if they are not handled properly.
Possibly, but consider this from the article:

> Crucially, these changes in gut bacteria have translated into behavioural changes. Even 18 weeks after treatment started the children had begun showing reduced symptoms of autism. After two years, only three of them still rated as severe, while eight fell below the diagnostic cut-off point for asd altogether. These eight thus now count as neurotypical.
Ask HN: Is Beanstack evil?
Children are lured to a web site to tell a third party what library books they're reading. All the data is mined. It promises to give children "recommendations." One of the company's founders came from Google. Amazon gets involved -- dispensing notifications from Echo devices to children about when it's time to resume reading a specific book.

Beanstack's privacy policy reveals they "use IP addresses and session identifiers to analyze trends," as well as "to track user activities, to infer user interests, and to otherwise induce, deduce, and gather information." It also specifically states that they ignore "Do not track" signals.

https://www.beanstack.com/privacy

That's what my local public library is touting now. (Public libraries are now promoting this -- and are, in fact, paying the third party for it.) BeanStack refers to public libraries as "clients," while bragging on their site that "Our personalized recommendation system remains part of our secret sauce." Mark Cuban invested after hearing their pitch on Shark Tank -- BeanStack is a product of ZooBean. But it was founded six years ago -- before parents were concerned with privacy and tracking.

The privacy policy seems to say they're only using this data to provide the service. (And though they're a for-profit service, their business model seems to just be collecting money from schools and public libraries that want to outsource their summer reading program to a company that can add online and app components.) I don't want to be the grinch who killed children's reading programs at my local library. Am I being over-sensitive -- or is there something here to be concerned about.

They say their goal is to encourage children to spend less time online -- yet the children are encouraged to go online to tell BeanStack what book's they're reading. (Because otherwise how else could you obtain and mine their data?)

> Maybe you could ban payment for lobbying,

This is really what they mean. "Lobbying" as a term generally connotes getting paid to do it. When people do it for free, it's more frequently called activism or advocacy.

I actually think a limit on pay might be better than an outright ban. Former members of Congress have skills, experience, and connections that could be beneficial for advancing a variety of social causes. It's the big payday, cashing-out part that stinks of corruption and undue influence.
Yep i understand it wouldn't be opensource per se, i think the question really is, should it be done, if yes why, if no why not and has someone else here on HN done it before or have seen a project with such a license before?

Maybe I'm concerned about the meta message. Is it:

- Recommendations make reading more fun, thus encouraging children to read.

- Recommendations teach children to let faceless data-mining companies track them, and to tell them what they should like and which books they should be reading next.

Disagree. When you write a Java statement you are clearly intending for certain instructions to get executed as a result of processing that statement. When you write a method signature, that doesn't represent any kind of intention for something to take place.

Anecdotally, I've seen very nice cars in areas with subsidized rent-- nicer than my working-class area.

There's a saying in diplomacy that, "All aid is military." Meaning, feeding a dictator's citizens only enables him to buy weapons with money he would have otherwise spent on food. This just being an expression of the fungibility of money.

However, in California, at least, the various medicals, unemployment, etc., monitor your income pretty closely. If people are subsidizing their income with these programs, it would seem to imply there's an untracked (cash) economy with which to do that. All of my income comes in as 1099* I can't hide a cent.

The Russian puppet claims only started after Hillary lost to Trump, and they had no recourse but to push forward with the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, which was originally prepared to punish Trump after he loses.

Since he won, the holes in narrative were not covered up well, and it has fallen/is falling apart.
> I think it's less about "give away the ending" and more about construction, and wanting to avoid making a claim just from authority/status.

I agree, but maybe that style of writing has evolved for good reasons? In engineering, it seems to be a common personality trait that when presented with conclusions first, we tend to formulate reasons contradicting the conclusions, and then dig in on those reasons, to the detriment of trying to follow the explanations that follow.

In the military, on the other hand (which has been cited as an example of "bottom line first" culture in this thread), people seem more inclined to follow orders.

Anecdotally, in my limited time in the military, I had the opportunity of observing both kinds of personalities, and they did NOT mesh gracefully…
They can sue the dealer that sold them the object. I'm sure they can get insurance too but possibly the insurer would do some research on the object before underwriting. Kind of like title insurance.

'Gender' is a constructed political term hijacked from linguistics to replace the more precise term of biological 'sex' which had been used without any problem for centuries before. The main purpose of replacing the word with 'gender' was to muddle up the language as 'gender' is a synonym for a biological term but also encompasses feelings. So the gender theorist can attack people essentially talking about 'sex' but then run to the definition of 'gender' as being about feelings when called on it and so gradually shift society's perceptions. For a lark, check out the biography of the guy who invented the term and see all the wonderful things he was up to. You won't learn that in Gender 101.
Generally, the change would allow single-family homes. But it would not REQUIRE single-family homes.

A typical development pattern might be something like...
- all single family homes to start
- area gets popular (property value goes up), a few SFH are replaced with duplex or small apartments
- area gets more popular, more SFH removed, mid-rise apartments begin to appear, small-scale retail appears

Etc.

Of course, this requires that NIBMYs aren't allowed to control other people's property. And the zoning and codes that do exist are enforced so you don't end up with a SFH next to a gas station.

A few months after I left reddit, I started a non-profit and have been building a new HN/reddit-like community site that can stick to the principles I believe are important (including being entirely user-supported with no investors or ads). The announcement post is probably still the best explanation overall: https://blog.tildes.net/announcing-tildes (HN discussion of it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17103093)

The site's been public to view (but still needs an invite to register) for a few months now, so anyone can have a look: https://tildes.net

Feel free to email me for an invite if anyone's interested, the address is in the blog post. It's not intended to be difficult to get an invite, I just want to keep the growth under control while we keep building up a base site culture and features.
I don't think you can survive without a cell phone, no. I recently broke my phone when applying for jobs, and had to rush to get it repaired, or I would've missed emails/phone calls that I needed to respond to in order to get hired. Once working, don't basically all companies now a days use email or text or calls to communicate with employees?

How do you work a job without childcare? This isn't just a family of four, it's a family of four with kids not old enough for public school. Someone has to cover that cost. This is just the cost to survive. Maybe some people are fortunate enough to have extended family that can provide child care, but if you don't you have something like that you have to pay that cost. This article doesn't say that these people aren't subsidized by the government or others. It's just the actual cost of survival.

You can survive living in terrible conditions, sure. But is it actually surviving? At a certain point death becomes a better option for many people then just "surviving". If you'd rather be dead then "surviving" are you truly surviving?
If you can't read the article, can you at least read the headline?

This is a little tool I made to ease my Spring repo cleaning. It's not possible to archive or delete multiple GitHub repos at once on GitHub.com, and I noticed many people were passing around scripts as a way to achieve this.

I hope other devs find this useful! Feel free to send feedback, or open issues on GitHub.

As mentioned on another thread, the UK enforces such an API for the largest banks (it's voluntary for the others at the moment) https://www.openbanking.org.uk/

This is part of a wider "challenger bank" initiative. Creating space for smaller, usually digital only, banks to create more competition in the consumer banking market. This was thought to be especially important after the "too big to fail" crash. Directly breaking up the larger banks was never going to happen, so instead they created an environment where competition could (hopefully) flourish.
I'm on Google's side for two reasons. 1) API compatibility is good for all of us and what happens if someone claims copyright on a function that adds to integers? 2) And most importantly, Oracle bought SUN for sole explicit purpose of trying to shakedown Google over Android. This isn't a case of not being able to recoup time and money for Oracle. It is a sham and akin to patent trolls. I hope they continue to wither and die.
As with most things in life, it's about signaling. At work I always type with correct grammar to seem professional. On twitter I deliberately don't use capital letters or apostrophes to seem relaxed. Not because I actually care (and I don't care what anyone else does), but it influences how I'm seen. I really have no idea why it matters so much to some people, other than generic "its just our culture" arguments.
