Nobody* deserves to be the subject of violence but at some point Americans need to take responsibility for creating (and continuing to create) the environment in which cartels can flourish.

When almost half the country can't even be bothered voting, much less stand up against crimes against humanity like forcibly and intentionally separating children from their parents (sometimes permanently) and locking them in cages, then frankly I think you lose the right to complain about the circumstances you find yourself in.

In other words, you can't take a shit on the kitchen counter and then complain about the smell.
I was thinking in the short term, not on evolutionay time scales. Personally, when I moved to the tropics I sweat non-stop for about the first two years. But I seem to have adjusted and don't break much of a sweat until the temperature gets to about the mid 30's. On the other hand, I really feel the cold now when it gets below 20.

This needs to be repeated often. If you want to stop illegal immigration, arrest those who employ illegals. A few business owners spending the night in jail, being charged with felonies, and facing huge legal fees and fines will have a large chilling effect. If there are no under the table tax free jobs to be had, the flow of migrants will diminish quite a bit.

Here's a thought: make those who employ illegals liable for back taxes and back wages at US minimum wage. That will hurt.

Or is that already the case? If it is the law is not being enforced at all.
Well, sure. Not all functions are described by their Taylor expansions. But this very large class is. I agree, if the word “miraculous” applies at all in mathematics, then this surely is one.

This is a convenience feature for fully electric cars. Charge at home, leave it parked at work and it recharges a fair bit. Won't make as much of a difference on a longer road trip; but will increase the range between mandatory recharges.

If you want you probably could go full martian if you got an external solar array you could deploy when stopped.

The real win is going to be on mid-sized electric vans and RVs since you have more surface area and could deploy a charging array as a canopy.

Think of a 300 ft^3 van ( about the size of a Sprinter )
with full wrap solar panels and an additional 100 ft^2 of solar panel that could be deployed when parked.

If you were using it as an RV you could plan on extended backcountry camping trips without having to worry about recharging.

What startup spends millions of dollars in research? And if the patentable is so easy to copy, it should not be patentable.
That’s awful. I’m sorry that happened to you. But I’m not sure I understand your argument. If one or both of these drivers were legally in the US, what would law enforcement do differently? From my reading of your situation, it sounds like you had the misfortune of twice encountering under-insured drivers, and had to deal with the consequences. How did you make the (il)logical jump from that to, “Illegal immigration harms people?” It sounds like a causal logical fallacy to me, but I’d appreciate being corrected if you think I’m wrong.

Some general problems your situation unintentionally alludes to (not perhaps in your state, but common in the south) are criminalizing the issuance of drivers licenses to undocumented people (which literally prevents them from obtaining insurance), and the fact that these people are working in the shadows and thus being underpaid (and thus not being able to pay for insurance).

The problem of under-insured drivers (estimated about 13% of all drivers) is real. Many folks have proposed ways to quantify and address the problem (e.g., [1]).

Sure. So, an algorithm isn't patentable. But a particular encoding of that algorithm might be patentable by your logic? However, copyright, not patent rights, protect encoded algorithms!

There are many possible programs, but only some are useful. In this sense, patents might protect only those useful programs, and not the useless programs. However, you'd have to write new law to cover this case.

Laws written before the advent of information theory are missing fundamental truths of mathematics. In this case, given that patent law already knows about mathematics, surely patent law is prepared to yield.

I find it very malicious to just drop numbers like this. It gives the impression that you state a simple fact, while the reality is much more complicated than that.
The studies on the subject require much more subtlety and statistical understanding when interpreting the results that a 2 line quotation to make a point.

There are a number of factors to take into account when giving credit to such studies:

- Is there enough observations to have statistically significant results? (i.e. do we have enough occurences of police strikes to really have meaningful results? can we have overwelmingly influencing factors not present in the studied samples: I guess it would likely highly depend on the city where the strike happens also)

- Did the sample properly allowed the isolation of the variable being studied against other influencing factors?

- What is the collinearity between the variables used for the regression? (i.e. if violence complaints are made on the spot, then less police means harder to fill complaints, it doesn't necessarily mean less violence)

"Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything" has a good introduction to the challenges of such studies, and discusses a bit the particular case of police.

It would be interesting how specifically these panels are different from the ones announced by Kia.

Come on, you lazy reporter! Go find a jet engine and some cesium and a radar reflectometer and make a graph of reflectance vs. cesium content.

Presumably, some engineer at Lockheed in the late 50s got exactly that assignment, with a budget. There would be a notebook with a table of numbers and a hand-drawn graph. Those would be amazing to see.
This seems pretty tautological to me.

> being able to throw money and people at LLVM development doesn't explain why it's still much slower than the Go compiler toolchain.

Right, you need to specifically throw money and people at the problem of making LLVM faster, not just at LLVM in general. Neither Swift nor Objective-C have "fast compiles" as part of their pitch. Much of the work on LLVM goes into producing the highest quality object code possible, which is a goal often at odds with compiling quickly, and part of the reason the choose-your-optimization-level flag (-O) exists, though -O0 compiles are still not fast enough.

> In hindsight the Go team made the right call to use their own toolchain.

No, we don't have the benefit of hindsight yet. We don't know what could have been if the resources that had been spent on the Go toolchain had been spent on LLVM instead.

If five highly-qualified engineers spent five years trying to speed up gollvm compiles without success, we'd have strong evidence that something about LLVM prohibits the fast compiles that are possible with the gc toolchain. But that's not the situation.
> The entire point of the argument is that in aggregate the benefits outweigh the costs, not that it's costless.

True, if you don’t have the concept of community. If you do you value fellow members differently than non-members. From a net human welfare perspective the conquest and settlement of the Americas was pretty great. More people, richer people, healthier people, more educated people. Not so great for the people and peoples who were there before 1492 though.
Great project
None of your links support your claim that migrants are more likely to commit violent crimes, in fact they present evidence that dispels that (very obvious) lie.

They also point out that the far-right groups that are spreading this propaganda as a means to promote their racist agenda are lying:

>But it turned out, several cases did not take place in Europe, and, with the exception of one case, there is no evidence supporting the claim that the perpetrators were migrants or Muslims.

Very disingenuous, but nothing out of the ordinary for bigoted organisations that exist only to diminish humanity.

Thank you.

I'm in a tiny town. I don't see this being a big market for resume work. (Locally, I do website work very part-time.)

I had a former CEO on hiatus hire me while I was still homeless -- just before I got off the street, in fact. He was satisfied enough that his wife hired me a few months later, even though I had raised my prices.

I've had a few people with a lot of tech experience. So I imagine a lot of people simply wouldn't understand their resumes in a meaningful way. They generally say nice things about my work.

But I'm best known for having been homeless. When I try to tell random people that what I do is for very experienced people, it doesn't get believed.

(When I post on r/forhire, I'm generally downvoted. It usually doesn't result in work.)

I have no idea how to convince people that this is the type people I actually work for. Most of the individuals who hire me seem to know me through HN and hire me for their own reasons, but I have no obvious means to parley that into word of mouth or whatever.

I've done what I can to compartmentalize it, but my name is quite distinctive. I've made my peace with the fact that people can connect the dots with little effort and if they have a problem with those other aspects of me, there's not really anything I can do about it.

> Although Luckey left Oculus in 2017 amid controversy over his political contributions, he has maintained some links to Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB), which bought Oculus for $2 billion in 2014. Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, sits on Facebook’s board alongside Peter Thiel, whose Founders Fund previously invested in Anduril. Andreessen Horowitz also invested in Oculus, which makes virtual reality headsets.

This sentence is really stretching for "maintained links to Facebook".
Not really. Sure, the technical term is an “analytic function”, the definition of which is, essentially, “any function that is described by it’s Taylor series”. The surprising thing is how many functions are analytic. All polynomials. The exponential, and sums of exponentials. The trigonometric functions. Bessel functions. All complex, differentiable functions. Combinations of the above.

Nearly any function you are likely to encounter in a physics class, to the best of my knowledge, is analytic (IANAP).

Another way to look at this is: “almost all” smooth functions are “nearly” polynomials. Why should trigonometric functions be “nearly” polynomials? Why should exponentials? Why should there be any connection at all between the trig functions and the polynomials? I still say this is a surprising result.

> You're skipping over half the point of the article by using a (fixed) source string, the size of which is known in advance.

You are right. I should have focused more on that instead, that seems more relevant to why the author of the article is suggesting memccpy. I am curious as to whether or not it really is the case that memccpy is "optimally efficient" in practice over the alternatives. Would you like to prove or disprove that statement yourself? I modified the code a bit; it uses strlen to calculate the length of the string passed, and the string is argv[1]. memccpy is still just as slow. Is this a more acceptable approach to you? In this case we do not know neither the string, nor its length in advance. strcpy still outperforms memccpy. Is this sufficient to disprove the claim that memccpy is "optimally" efficient to other alternatives? The other criterion was being widely adopted, in which case, well, strcpy also looks good. Moreover, as dwheeler pointed out, memccpy is a tad difficult to use in practice. I will give strlcpy a try, too, since I prefer that over strcpy. In any case, I am not convinced that these criteria hold true for memccpy over the alternatives.

I've been out of Canada for 15 years, so I missed the whole Conservatives under Harper. However, I think to be fair wrt comparing today's Conservatives to Joe Clark's Conservatives, the latter organisation doesn't really exist any more. The Conservatives were down to 2 seats when they merged with Reform Party. I think that's where to you start to see the drift to the right. They had to actively kick out the really extreme right wingers when that happened, but it's just not the same party at all IMHO. Seeing from abroad, I always got the impression that Harper's government was pretty much exactly what you might expect from a slightly toned down Reform party and it wasn't really a surprise to me.
