Correct. It's awful here in Sydney. The local government a long time ago decided that it couldn't be bothered to put up and maintain infrastructure like bus shelters and the like, so they got JC Decaux to do it (a French company, whose maintenance trucks amusingly use an Australian flag as their major design motif) in exchange for plastering the whole city with ads.
So you admit openly to stealing, just to put it plainly. You chose to shop somewhere, you chose to use a self checkout, you knew there was an error, and proceeded to leave with things you didn’t pay for. No matter how you justify it to yourself, you’re a thief.

If you can justify that you can justify stealing from your employer (hey I’ve been under paid for a while, taking this unsecured device is like making up for a bit of my salary), etc.

Just curious - how is the developer experience different on Azure? There are different types of developers. Some like to have full control and end up building their own cloud infrastructure while others like to have no control and go with something like Heroku (or maybe Azure, but I'm not too familiar with that hence my question).
Surprised that Purescript is still a thing, it appears to have died out from all conferences that focus on new tech like StrangeLoop and similar.
Airports are never going to be high on the list of places sans billboards and are usually privatized space. I'm not too bummed out about airports and shopping centers, but I draw the line at public transit and actual fully public spaces like the streets of downtowns (which are choked in ads in Sydney now).
This is mostly true but not always. I was given nothing from anyone, and had an extremely hands off manner of being raised. Meaning I was taught nothing and given no encouragement. I definitely would've been in a gang if I had been born in a big city as I was very aggressive and a tough kid. Thankfully I was from a small town, and my excellent community saved me.

That said it took me until I was 36 to have the money to take any entrepreneurial leaps. It took me that long to save up enough money. Working in bad conditions that most kids with money would never put up with.

I'm not special in any way except my character is rare, resilient.

I wouldn't join in being resentful towards rich kids but I do recognize the need to force the wealthy to pay a lot more in taxes to give others like me and the worse off, a chance to succeed.

That's what we all owe to the society that enabled our wealth. Some owe more than others, as their wealth increases.

> Islamic culture, traditional scholarship places the point of ensoulment anywhere between 40 and 120 days after conception. Our western taboos around this topic, likely even our western secular taboos, derive from a belief in ensoulment at conception.

Changing the creations of God is still very much considered forbidden in the religion. Also many scholars would still consider e.g. abortion without valid reason before ensoulment as forbidden. Personally I think the Islamic world would wrestle much more with this than any other.
For me, modern Linux VMs keep changing with all the systemd stuff. It’s like every time I try to do something basic like configuring networking I have to lookup whatever they’re doing this week. Fargate and k8s seem better documented nowadays and just runs my app.
I've tried to use Zappa for a non-trivial personal project to run a Django app and I found:

- Super nice, low config API

- easy to deploy

- great out-of-the-box support for async tasks (no Celery! woo!)

but:

- It was a nightmare getting certain Python libraries (eg. Pillow, psycopg) to work in the AWS Lambda environment

- It really sucked having to deploy to AWS in order to debug issues which cannot be reproduced locally (eg. library)

- It seems hard to get away from using AWS tools to observe your code in prod (eg. CloudWatch for logs)

- I still needed a database to maintain state, DynamoDB didn't work with Django's ORM and was surprisingly expensive, and if I'm going to shell out $10/mo for a Postgres RDS instance then I may as well run the whole thing on EC2 anyway

I think Zappa is a really nice tool for some niche use cases, and I'd definitely turn to it if I needed to stand up some small, stateless serverless service, but I would hate to support and debug it as a web app in prod.

Singapore and East Asian countries/territories which share the same educational culture dominate PISA rankings, esp for math and science.

They constitutes all of top 7 in math and 6 of the top 10 (7 if Vietnam is included) in science for PISA 2015.

Vietnam, which is much poorer than Western Europe, shares a similar educational culture and performs much better than other countries at a similar income level.

PISA does not measure everything but it seems to be a pretty good metric for what it measures.
Hi everyone

I am delighted to share my new project "TLDR This" with you guys.

Problem : There's so much content out there but too little time to read. So many times, it happens that there's a long article that we're interested in, but we don't really feel like scouring through it to extract relevant information from it.

Hence, I created "TLDR This" to help you navigate relevant content quickly and easily, without having to read the whole thing.

Steps to get cracking -
1. Copy and paste either the URL or the text of the article you'd like summarized.
2. Press the "Process Text" button, and you are good to go.

TLDR This also comes with a chrome extension, allowing you to summarize any webpage at the click of a button.

How to use the chrome extension?
Just click the “tl;dr” button in Chrome's toolbar on a webpage which you'd like summarized and within a few seconds, you'll get the < 5 sentence summary right there.

Please let me know if you have any feedback/suggestions.

Thanks a lot
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."
A jogger trashed a homeless man's stuff. What happened next?
Basically yes. But I would maybe like to be left alone on my beautiful farm without all the people visiting me.

If I'd want to have so much company I'd have opened a store or museum I think.

Where I come from we really had something that was called "privacy" and "intimacy" and when we were at our place it was given to us without struggle.
When I think about massive tourism, satellites in LEO and drones above our heads I see this in decline without a real choice or possibility to avoid it from coming to my little farm.

Of course I'd not want to have to put up signs or even technology to keep people, drones etc. off my grounds but I'd rather do that than being disturbed by strangers (or strange technology) every waking minute.

It's not like one person comes over on a sunny Sunday to ask me about farming but the 1000 people who have the same idea that day or the couple who want's to shoot their love scene in my yard at midnight in the moon light while I just want to fall asleep with the sounds of the crickets and not some fuck-fest.

Don't get me wrong here - I am very open minded. But I value my privacy etc. and I see it being taken away without me having a chance to decide/stop it/whatever. It's not the one person, but the mass of people who care more for their damn picture than respect for nature and people who happen to live there.

Your muscles (and blood) rebuild on rest days.

So vigorous daily Crossfit would kill you. (see rhabdo)

Also, if you're OC enough to do that, you prolly have other issues too.

The Terraform AWS providers are maintained by AWS engineers, but the rest of the code will still need vetting.
There are countless people in this thread (which concerns me because I generally think of HN as a pretty highly educated and moral group) who see errors like that at the register and walk away thinking they won a prize.
Ads are forbidden on my network. I'm running a strong pihole that forbid advertising domains, obnoxious tracking and well known malware sites. Sponsored search results do not work and some websites are inaccessible, but it's fine, we don't need them. Ads are "The Great Evil" I will teach my children to fight, in all their forms, before drugs and alcohol.

If you are running an ad-dependant website and struggle to make money as a result of the campaign people like me are running, then you'll have to adapt. If you fail to adapt and your website closes, it's fine : as a society, we didn't need your services.
I am fascinated (honestly, not sarcastically) by the line "7am: weigh myself, text results to my father".

I've never seen that strategy, but... wow. I'd imagine the accountability that creates is pretty serious.

I had a good run with IF but have backslid. I had a routine similar to yours but maybe stricter (I was making weight for a weight-class sport so had to move quicker).
Can you please explain what you do mean by that? Are you talking about node/js apps being insecure by default? I guess that's a fault of the specific app framework, rather than an inherent issue with running on a server.

Our company runs services written in C# running on .NET Core in containers. It's fast, secure, and makes development simple.
Congrats! It worked well on a few sample articles that I tried. Can you provide background on how the text is summarized?
> Education is more a filtering mechanism than an enrichment mechanism. Panning does not create gold.

But the Bessemer process does create steel. I'll be the first to agree that education doesn't give much knowledge (apart from basic reading and arithmetic, which take a few months at most). But it gives you something else:

1) Ability to show up on time

2) Ability to sit still and do boring stuff for hours every day

3) Belief in importance of grades

Basically it's a forced personality change, turning children into worker bees. That's why it takes years and why it's so valuable to employers.
Those shops are deploying into Linux servers anyway, so they would be better off supporting an Linux OEM.

We use our Macs for Design (Sketch, Zepplin, Adobe), Web (via Java) and native iOS/macOS development, I am yet to hear anyone caring about docker beyond conference talks.
Honestly it just reminds me of Rust's traits (granted I didn't read the entite spec.), could this come with operator overloading too?
Kind of insane that we need a secondary computer to let a $2500 laptop output video to a screen.
You're right but the first step is awareness and acknowledgement.

The answer is increasing taxes progressively to ensure when some have far more than they need that others at least get a shot at life. Good schools and good social safety nets. We are all part of a society and that society enables such wealth inequality that some become fabulously rich and others fall into despair. The challenge is making sure that we give everyone a fair shot no matter their origin. There is obviously a lot of resistance to this idea, people refer to it as social justice but all it really is as with most things at the core, is class warfare.

Except it locks out any OS not Windows or MacOS from using it.

Southbridge didn’t have hardware mechanisms in place to intentionally lock Linux out from using the machine’s (rather expensive) internal storage.
In England you can't search people just because you want to.
I did show and explain repeatedly and patiently. It was just so different and bewildering on the surface that users were instinctively hostile to it at first.
I agree that it doesn't really force you to have a null. I found that line on reasoning especially surprising, as Rust also gets around this with sum types and does have a `Default` trait in the standard library.

I do however think that beyond the empty/one element domains you mentioned, default values can be a bit problematic. An acceptable default value for a type is not really determined by the type itself but in what context it is used.

Imagine a config struct with multiple boolean flags:

struct SomeConfig {
feature_a: bool,
feature_b: bool,
feature_c: bool,
}

Would it be a good idea to use the default value `false` for all of them? I think in a lot of cases like these it is very much preferable to force the programmer to provide values for all the fields.

> If that's the design, we could require the programmer to specify that default literal when the type is defined. Then that literal is used by default construction. Problem solved.

Rust does kind of have a way to do it, though it's a bit more explicit. If you have e.g. `std::default::Default` (which would be the conventional trait for that) implemented, you can easily create a struct without needing to specify the default fields:

let instance = SomeStruct {
foo: 1,
..SomeStruct::default(),
}
One historical point that the author missed: much of the auto-updating of on-device software started as a response to the speed at which the online SaaS companies were able to innovate: because they were changing their own computers, they didn’t feel the same need to get consent before making changes as the desktop software companies did.
The only thing that sucks with loving swimming is that the free market has a hard time reacting to the fluctuations in demand. If I want to open a gym I’ll buy a big garage or something, buy a lot of equipment and hire some PTs. If I want to open up a facility for swimming there’s a hell of a lot more up front costs in building a pool and recruiting life guards and swimming instructors.

In this heat wave over Europe I’ve been forced to lakes and oceans to get my laps, but it is a bit more challenging to get that to work.
It’s better than the alternative which is no democratic oversight of how Wells Fargo or Goldman Sachs uses or invests teachers pension funds. It was just power we accidentally gave away without realizing we could take it back.
No. Xinjiang, or whatever its name was, was controlled by the Chinese government more than a thousand years before the Qing dynasty.

China didn't really colonize, if colonization means to move there and enslave the natives.
The captcha is basically a question to add two 2-digit numbers, e.g. 23+45. The question is returned as an SVG picture.

The hypothesis is that the need to engage brain even for 3 seconds is enough to stop 99% of the spammers, so the quality of comments should shoot through the roof.

The way it works is each comment has a sha1 hash and from that hash we can derive the 2 numbers. No state needed.

Twitter notifies Canadian user that her tweets violate UK blasphemy laws
Manipulating something with your hands is a very arbitrary line to cross. What if you have gloves? What if you have prosthetic arms? What if you're remote controlling a robot to physically manipulate something on your behalf? Or is it the bare skin-to-material contact you'd make illegal? What if the person has a skin graft transplant on their hands?

Like the guy above said, intent matters. That is why stuff like attempted murder is illegal. You might not physically touch the victim but if you intend on killing someone, but happen to fail, you are clearly in the wrong imo.
I'm not a big fan of "Bank of Los Angeles/San Francisco/etc" but I would be a much bigger fan of "Bank of California".

It should be geared toward serving as a bank, first, and an investment vehicle, second or minimally, and its records should be excruciatingly, painfully transparent. It also needs to serve as a backstop for those who find the current banking system too expensive or too exclusionary. Paycheck cashers are predatory vermin who need to be put out of business.

I view disconnecting from Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and their ilk simply to be a bonus.

>"Wasn't much better than USSR" is such bullshit on so many levels that it's hard to even to begin. In the US:

I totally agree. The US is much more better. There's no doubt that an Ecuadorian embassy or a Guantanamo are much better places than a gulag.
Here's a weight loss tip I've used with some degree of success: exercise portion control by using smaller dinner plates at home and chew the food on the plate longer (like 30s). The rationale is that the sensation of feeling full takes about 20 minutes to kick in and so by practicing the above you end up eating less over time and as a result lose weight. There is also a possibility your body will make better use of the food this way as there are enzymes in your mouth that help with digestion.
Groceries are the most low margin retail business at 1-2 percent. So the cost savings have definitely been passed on to the customer, unless you can find figures to the contrary.
Generally for freestyle you want to follow these rules to avoid shoulder injury:

1.) Don't cross the center line of your body with your arm. If you were climbing a ladder you wouldn't ever do that. Freestyle is kind of like climbing a ladder horizontally.

2.) Keep a good rotation around your center line in the upper body. This helps to use your back muscles/lats to do the big work. You want to be sore at the end of the workout in your lats, core and maybe chest. Not your shoulders.

3.) Don't over-extend your arm in reach. Many people end up pushing down on the water they initiate their stroke, this is wasted work and also shoulder strain. You want to as quickly as possible have your hand pulling parallel to your body, which usually means a high, wide elbow in the catch.

This is a course I've been meaning to try but haven't. It purports to reduce shoulder injuries:

After you've gotten some swimming lessons (check out the books and technique made by Terry Laughlin - swimming made easy might be a good start), then find an open water swimming club that takes on beginners (try meetup or facebook).

I mean of infrastructure, servers etc. I.e. the days of Puppet and Ansible are behind me. And patching a Lambda is as simple as pushing up a new version. No downtime, restarting services etc. And no patching of OS or Docker containers. Or building them. Configuration is as simple as environment vars or SSM for secrets.
> In Europe the self-check outs are optional.

That varies. A current trend in the Netherlands is to remove all normal checkouts and replace them with nothing but self-scan checkouts in the train station 'to-go' formula (essentially convenience stores) of one of the largest retailers.

The same retailer (AH) is also pushing for self-scan checkouts in certain normal supermarkets (often mid-size ones) by reducing the number of normal checkouts to one or two, creating nigh permanent queues. Because self-scan checkouts don't accept cash, you are stuck using these if you do wish to pay with bills and coins (which is probably why the retailer does this; i.e., the war on cash).

At a train station, if you have a few minutes to spare to grab a coffee and some snacks, you can pretty accurately guess how long it will take with a human cashier and any potential queues.

With a self-scan checkout, the machine invariably has a bunch of failure modes that take an unguessable amount of time to correct — either by you following the instructions, or by an attendant overriding some error state.

I just go to the kiosks that do have human cashiers instead.
For anyone to try to compete with Boeing today, from zero, in that aircraft segment, they would need at least, as in bare minimum, $10Bi dollars. Minimum

And that would be to get the plane out of the door. Boeing (and Airbus) has several other non-tangible advantages to their product such as: extensive maintenance and parts logistics (including used parts that can be acquired), well known product, etc

There is one possible competitor in the future: COMAC

If your Boeing or Airbus plane suffers a non-trivial failure that makes it unable to fly, both companies have a team that are able to go and fix it there.
From the point of view of someone who's used Aurora Postgres since it came out, though you sometimes are exposed to bugs, AWS support has always been great and we never faced anything super serious. It's been almost a year since we had any problems though. This on a somewhat large aurora instance at around 5TB, so it's already representative for a lot of people.
