I'm definitely a shave dumber with 30 lbs slamming my throat shut and strangling my sleep quality. Stay fit ycombinator: walk, meal prep, track. It's worth the 4-5 hours a week that takes.

If your sleep apnea is causing vivid disturbing dreams and pre-sleep anxiety, drop the weight.

If you're out of shape conservative diet and exercise can take you down those 30lbs in 3 months. So worth it.
You really want to make a must to punish children? If you get in there early there shouldn't be an in addition to.

Prison is a final measure when all other measures have failed. Even with prison, first time offenders of non-serious crimes usually do not do time or are diverted to other programs to help them avoid this fate. I just love how all the nerds here are going crazy over letting bullies off the hook initially to try to reform them -- it's as if they all want to bully the bullies.
Who thought Exif Orientation was a good idea? It's a needless complication of the file format. It's not like iPhones (or any camera) lacks the computing power to rotate the image before saving it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception

Since the first border search statute was enacted in 1789, customs officials have essentially been authorised to search anything crossing the border, without warrant. It was approved by the first US congress, which counted James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington and John Adams among its members. The original target was ships that might be carrying taxable goods.

Warrantless border searches are literally older than the fourth amendment, which was only ratified in 1791.

Calories spent from exertion are generally negligible unless it's a very intense focused kind of exercise done for a long duration. Run a whole mile and all that gets you is one free apple.

Bullies bully when they know they can get away with it (so does criminals). I just fail to follow your narrative.

I would alternatively suggest to make the punishment severe and make sure bullies can't get away with it.

Does he impose it though, or just uses it as a filter to find the next game administrator? He doesn't enforces anybody to participate. Perhaps comparable to a requirement list for a job, though it's a bit of a specific requirement.
If you spend time with babies you will find they are actually very sociable and giving. Indeed when they are worms they can only scream. But once they can interact they often love sharing and contributing.

They don't develop a theory of self until they are 3 or 4 so they can't anticipate what your needs are and that they are different than their needs, but they will try to share what they like with you.

Or, frankly, parents that can't be bothered.

One of the most important epiphanies in my life was realizing that some parents don't care at all about their kids, some are jealous of them and actively sabotage them and that some systematically abuse them for entertainment.

It is also why I'm get angry when people push others to have children; many people should not raise children.

Good point. But I imagine that thought transference must be the same - human brains are messes of neurons connected in patterns formed by birth and experience, and a thought process that works fine in one brain may not map correctly to another. In any machine capable of learning, the same kind of semi-random process must occur, and mapping a pattern from one will not fit correctly with another.

You can't take half the nodes from a neural network that recognises dogs and add them to a neural network that knows about laundry to get a network that knows how to wash dogs ;)
>After living in the UK for a year and encountering this tax system firsthand, I'm convinced that one of the main reasons for Brexit is that rich people in England are worried that EU tax harmonization could one day take away their sweet loopholes and convenient neighborhood tax havens.

It's the same reason they hate Corbyn with such a seething passion too, and McDonnell even more (McDonnell quipped that he found the "magic money tree"; it was growing in overseas tax havens).
Most of the destructive/negative emotions and behaviours someone exhibits, comes from a lack of self-awareness.
In this scenario, I was thinking the federal government either through legislation, or executive action.

However, I'm not trying to push any political agenda, I just thought it was interesting that this was a good example of tech platforms being too powerful.
This can only lead to "age deflation" (analogous to "grade inflation"). Who'd ever admit to being 60 if it were possible to change their age? There's a stigma around that age, which would be reinforced by the possibility of changing your "legal age." Which is a shame, because (as I approach 60), I'm realizing that 60 really is the new 50, or even 40. Better to just own your age and redefine "old" than pretend to be young.

Yes, exactly that, everything I read says rehabilitating prisoners greatly reduces re-offending.

That’s not to say they shouldn’t go to prison for a crime. While in prison it shouldn’t be just a punishment, the isolation is the punishment, the idea should be providing the help needed inside so when they come out they do not re-offend.

> “Independence is a strong part of the character of the people of the island. We’re not part of the UK, or the British Isles – we’re Manx,” said Phil Gawne, a former politician on the island...

Hmm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles

> The British Isles are a group of islands in the North Atlantic off the north-western coast of continental Europe that consist of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Hebrides and over six thousand smaller isles.

Wikipedia disagrees.

Over the years, I've harbored a growing suspicion that the political Venn diagram surrounding the UK and associated entities has reached the point of such complexity that even the natives can't follow it.

(Not that I think that Americans know the US's territorial classification system either, but...)
> but the US infrastructure needs so massive investments that there is no alternative to the private investment market given that many states have problems adequately funding basic cheap stuff such as schools.

States would have less problem with that if they weren't bearing the costs of for-profit power.
Obesity isn’t reason, it’s a result from other problems like loneliness, anxiety or not very stable life circumstances. Fighting these will reduce obesity. No proof of that, just my personal theory. Also in local supermarket I could call minority of the products healthy. 600 grams of very unhealthy cookies for 0,99€ should have sugar tax of another 2€ on it.

I live and work in Cambridge UK, and it seems to be the other way around here. Cambridge's history is more of hardware based startups (particularly wireless related ones), so the demand mix is probably quite different. I have always done very well with my electronics/software mixed skill set, and it was a surprise to hear (in a previous HN discussion) that that wasn't as valuable elsewhere.
Do they have modern semiconductor fabrication capabilities at all?
I wouldn't be surprised either, but it might not help people all that much. I don't think Tesla's current Powerwall can charge from solar when the grid's down due to the AC link between the solar inverter and the Powerwall only working when connected to the grid.
Actually, that's right, forgot about that :P

The only remaining mystery then would be why they bothered encoding it like this:

0xxxxxxx
110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx

... when it could have been done much more simply by putting the continuation bit in position 6 and keeping bit 7 set across the entire multibyte sequence:

0xxxxxxx
11xxxxxx 11xxxxxx ... 10xxxxxx

Or even like this for maximum compactness:

0xxxxxxx
100xxxxx 1xxxxxxx
101xxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx
110xxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx
111xxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx
UTF-8 lets you skip entire characters without scanning the individual bytes, which VLQ does not.

Have you read the whole judgement? I think it's still available as a pdf on the court website. Not the carefully selected snippets and quotes dumped in the media. I recommend it, it's hilarious (at Meecham's expense), and IIRC only a couple of pages.

He had a defence. He chose not to use it, despite the judge explicitly encouraging him to. So after the judge points to the exit, he faces the other way and sulks.

He deserved conviction. Except we're not nearly done.

(From memory) His tale of the joke intended solely for his girlfriend was completely shredded as a pack of lies in court. His girlfriend didn't even subscribe to his channel, or know of his joke. The judge had a better awareness of how Youtube worked than the guy with the channel. In context the "private joke" was for mass distribution and nothing to do with his girlfriend.

Now he deserves prosecution for perjury. Moronic and obvious perjury, but perjury nonetheless. So bad I was laughing while reading the judgement. I think perjury carries the lengthier maximum sentence. We're still not done.

> It isn't anti-Semitic in context. Did you watch the video?

[Yes I did. The judge very clearly states the conviction is on the simple breach of the law. Context and mitigating circumstance is irrelevant as Meecham chose not to use the freedom of expression defence. Thus "in-context" does not matter at all.

So forget the pug. Forget the joke, the context, the way he made it totally not funny unless you're seven. It's obviously anti-semitic, but not especially harmful. Meecham accepts it's anti-semitic. It's not threatening compared to a march with dozens of thugs chanting the exact same phrases, into the faces of actual people. The law must cater for both ends of the threat scale being videoed and distributed. Clearly it is reasonable for there to be some offence, and some chance of mitigation for the lesser or technical breaches and parody or humour.

Repeating a phrase he accepts as racist, over and over, to clips of Hitler, jews and for some reason Buddha (IIRC, it's been a while), is clearly anti-semitic in context. Clearly it's not threatening on the scale of possibility of people using the same phrase and actions in a different context. Just a feeble joke, but accepted as anti-semitic by Meecham in court nonetheless. Still, he's not on trial for how funny he is or isn't either.

This is all 99.9% pointless discussion. None of this section is relevant as it's mitigation that the defendant chose not to use. Were he not a complete moron he would have most likely been reasonably acquitted for freedom of expression.]

He was offered an out by the judge in the context of the legal system. Then ignored it.

Reading the full judgement warmed my heart and restored a little faith in British justice.

OK, he's a moron as well as a convicted criminal, and clearly shown to be a perjurer. End of. I wonder what happened to the thousands he crowdsourced for his defence, but no-defence-offered really.
I'm shocked that Kaku even accepted that bet. That's the easiest no ever. Even if you assume that string theory/a unified theory gets completely worked out and a consensus is reached by 2020, the nobel does not give out awards without experimental evidence.

The difference in the amount of calories I burn on days when I go to work, and am mostly sedentary, and days when I'm at home puttering around constantly, is massive.

By coincidence I just watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier yesterday (on Disney+), where he mentions he's 95.

Changing your actual age is obviously a silly idea, but instead of making age less dependent on when you are born, it makes more sense to legislate less on this number and instead make the categories, or phases of life, we want to identify by this number more explicit. Once we've done that, we can make it easier to legally put people in a different category without messing with when they were born or turning age into a meaningless number.

Well it seems you are in agreement with me :). I have already implied that getting a web browser or some other user-space application running on a new OS requires writing all the other low-level components you have listed. Otherwise it might as well been a Linux distro, which I'm pleased that it isn't one.

A non-Linux OS is a OS that doesn't use Linux as its kernel. The BSDs, Redox, Haiku, TempleOS, SerenityOS and Fuchsia fall under this category which again also implies that it is done from scratch.

Western bullying literature suggests that bullying is more like a position that people step in and out of, whereas victimhood is sticky to the individual. It’s easier to predict victims than bullies, and it’s difficult to predict how long someone will remain in the bully position.

Bullying predicts general protective effects on the individual and social well-being. It also predicts that peers will rate the bully well, even when the victim rates the bully. This is to say that bullying has a big bystander component (the public reviews the act), and that bullies may do better than the normal population.

People who are both bullies and victims experience characteristics from both populations.

It would be a nice bonus if something positive would come of it, It is not a bonus for the "US has a spine" spin OP presented. Is like I pay someone to help an old lady to cross the street and you start praising him and ignore the fact he never would have done it without the money. The guy has no fucking virtue and if he now makes a selfie of himself helping the lady and pointing fingers at others is ... deceitful , but maybe the guy is so narcissistic that in his own mind he is an actual virtuous man, helping old ladies only when he has something to gain.
