> Not true; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_gun#Early_rapid-firing....

I should have been more clear. I meant Machine Guns that a regular person could carry and fire without setting up a stand. Maxim and Browning had demonstrated Machine Guns around 1880 to 1900, but they were big and heavy and not something a single individual would carry and they clearly were not for the civilian market.

> 1777 was 14 years before our Bill of Rights was ratified, and 4 shots/second is faster than an average person can fire any semi-auto weapon, including an AR-15.

The evidence that these guns existed is scant; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belton_flintlock
The 4 bullets pistols are the only example they have and that idea is an old and well known one.

> Also, do you really think the Founding Fathers didn't envision technological advancement? Of course they couldn't have predicted exactly what our current technology looks like, but I'm sure they saw the progression from clubs to swords to guns and expected weapons to continue getting more effective. How could anybody not expect technology to advance over time? It's literally been doing that since the beginning of the world.

You are looking at this with 21st century eyes where every 10 years the world changes so much. The world of the Founding Fathers in 1788 was a world very similar to the world of 1688 and 1588. The food and clothes were different and not much else. To say that the Founding Fathers could have imagined a AR15 or AK47 is real stretch of the imagination. I am pretty sure that if you walked into the Constitution Convention of 1787 and laid out an AR15 and said, "One day a young man with this weapon will walk into a school and kill 20 children and 6 staff members with one of these and mass shootings happen with regularity." I am pretty sure the 2nd Amendment would be a lot different and a lot more clear.
Income inequality includes the root cause, but more besides. It's not just that some people got really rich. It's that some other people got significantly poorer.

If I were to take a shot at a root cause, I would say globalization. The business owners got lower costs, so they made more money. The factory workers got laid off, and eventually their unemployment benefits ran out. That created income inequality, all right, but the real problem is that a bunch of people lost jobs that supported middle-class lifestyles, and didn't find comparable replacement jobs.

Increasing globalization may be a net win. But it happened too fast for people to adjust, and it destroyed a bunch of people.

I actually disagree strongly with the trend of moving to non-urban red light districts. My neighborhood is incredibly safe for everyone at all hours because of the density of legal sex workers, most of which will call police when they see a disturbance. It is also relatively resistant to corruption, because interactions between the police, the workers and the establishments are overheard.

There's an excellent claim that most domestic abuse per capita happens in suburbs in contrast to most reported abuse. I would look for better counter evidence before moving the fence.
>Everyone is cool from afar with homeless until they're sleeping in their own doorway.

I'm cool with this. I consider it a part and parcel of living in the city center. I want homelessness to be on display rather than hidden away because it's a permanent reminder of how much society has failed its most vulnerable members.
Actually, the Apple store phones are all already set up this way: no passcode, no FaceID, swipe up to unlock.
Many homeless are that way due to situations in their life beyond their control.
Mental illness, physical disabilities, age, ect.
Most people that do not have these problems could fairly easily get an entry level job and scrape by until they can get back on their feet.
> many companies based in NYC moved out of the city in the 80s, 90s.

This is the story of most American cities in the 80s and 90s, thankfully it has had some reversal this century, and I'm not sure it should be seen as a template or justification for present or future actions.
Quite possibly not, but if there aren't toilets, or if the people have literally no inside place to sleep, or if they're homeless due to mental illness, a turd on your doorstep is a symptom of a bigger problem. Agree or disagree?
I visited a couple of months ago, and if you're an English speaker then there is little in the way of a language barrier. I don't think I met a single Icelandic person who didn't speak English while I was there.
I’m familiar with radar showing swarms of insects or migratory birds, but meteor trails?! Very cool.

Sadly, the article mentions that the radar network seems to have been re-tuned since 2012 and now only rarely shows meteors.

There are other ways to do it, though— you can set up your own meteor-detecting camera and register it with the American Meteor Society if you want to contribute data:

Too much Freedom, more like. And not enough care for each other.
Most major cities have one. The only difference tends to be how obvious it is to visitors. E.g. walk around Soho in London and pay attention, and you see hints of it all over the place; they're just not sitting in the windows.
And never assume bad journalism when you’re reading comments on HN where most of the commentators haven’t read the article they are commenting on.
That's crazy.

I've been a pretty high level athlete, and have had some pretty bad injuries, and never once was I prescribed a pain killer?

Why is everything so non-uniform in this country? Because anyone with the resources to go to a doctor, you would think probably has insurance? So what is driving those differences? Just the doctors themselves?
>> They are in incredible burden that you cannot imagine or conceptualize prior. The company you founded, the marathons you ran, your PhD thesis, etc., these are all peanuts.

Haha .... I agree.

The first kid is the hardest. For the second one, you think you've wised up, and it is still difficult for different reasons.

It is like every time you think you have solved the parenting issues and leveled up, the kids evolve too and present you with entirely new issues you were not prepared for.

And yet, like the other poster said, I'll still do it and go through it again.

[EDIT] Children are a joy, if you understand and respect them. Sometimes they need to be treated like adults, sometimes like the kids they are. The trick is to figure out which to apply when.
To paraphrase Antoine de Saint-Exupéry [1].

"Children exist to remind adults, what it is to be a child again."

> Why not publicly fund the news (like the BBC but without the license fees)?

There's nothing inherently more virtuous in financing something publicly than there is funding it through private enterprise. Who decides if publicly-funded news is objective? The politicians? This is how you get Pravda.

Besides, isn't PBS already a thing?
SF has always been expensive. When I moved here, my grandfather who was an actuary for an insurance company (i.e. walking financial database) told me that back in the 1930s, they had to pay 2-3x salary for people based there due to the high cost of living. If you read old issues of the SF Chronicle, you'll find the same story repeated across generations.

The only time SF was every really cheap was during the 70s into the late 80s, which was due to a combination of white flight, the Loma Prieta earthquake, and the AIDS plague depopulating the city. Apart from that anomaly, it has been super pricey ever since the Gold Rush.

> Those blog posts make it out that sex work is a crime against the sex workers; i.e., it is prostitutes that are the victims. If that is indeed the case then prostitutes should be able to go freely to the police for protection, without fear of prosecution, since they are the victims. So that makes it unclear to me what it means that Hedges is against decriminalization.

He's of a school of thought that sex workers are victims, but since most sex workers do sex work voluntarily, it means that he views sex workers as victims of their own harmful actions. The implication (whether or not he states it directly) is that sex workers need to be saved from their own harmful actions (ie, the work they do voluntarily) because otherwise they will harm themselves.

While it's dressed in secular rhetoric, at its core, it's a very Puritanical, moralistic argument that ultimately is used to justify people taking steps to "save" sex workers from their "wrongful (harmful) actions".

Unsurprisingly, sex workers do not like him or his work.

In some parts, the player shows raw scores for emotions, and one of them is "neutral". I was 99.9999% neutral or more for the entire event, never breaking my apparent poker face until it called me possibly brain damaged at the end, which I found funny for some reason. The claims about IQ and left/right leaning are possibly arbitrary and just meant to stir discussion and virality.

For it to be any amount confident in it's claims, I imagine you need to be at least somewhat expressive. However, I don't expect most users of the average NN classifier to pay more than a little attention to how often what they classify something as is less than 80% confident.
While the reasons may be different now, the process of relocating is going to be similar. Some staff will like it, some will resign, some will go with reservations, etc. and, with today’s communications this will be even easier.

Interesting. These studies seem to be looking at physical or chemical data. Is it possible that the patterns that people see with evening light are largely mental? Until recently, most artificial light sources used in the home were in the range of 2000K. That could have developed in most people a connection between those color temperatures and sleepyness; one that would not necessarily show up in quantifiable measures like melatonin levels.

Of course, that would need to be studied, and would be a more challenging study, but I think you could probably do it.
Using your body for money isn’t normal? Using your body for money is the dominant form of labor.

Undoubtedly sex work makes some people uncomfortable but it’s not because it involves the body.

if you dont need in-line images then i cant recommend an outliner like Dynalist enough. its similar to a mind-map in a way with the main difference being that its actually useable for a large amount of information

heres is a basic example Propædia in Dynalist:

if youve never used dynalist before, hover over the bullet points, then click to expand or collapse the list. click the magnifying glass icon to the left of the bullet point to zoom in and focus on a certain point, then use the breadcrumb trail at the top to go back. since every bullet point has its own url you can also use the browser back button
That would screw me over. My passphrases tend to be based on a physical pattern of the keys. I can't actually tell you what my phone code is. I just know the order I push the buttons. Similarly, if I have to type me computer passphrase on a non-qwerty keyboard, I couldn't do it. I don't actually know the letters, I just know the pattern on the keyboard.

If the numbers were scrambled, I'd have to pick a new system to select a password.
“non-metal-shielded electronics“

So a bad actor would shield them? The primary countermeasure to incredibly small storage is minimizing the availability of devices that could write them on site. That microSD hidden in a nostril won't be of much use if the attacker does not find anything to plug it.

(regarding OP's story: I was kind of expecting it to end with the spaceballs password in heavy use behind all that physical security, still kind of disappointed/relieved)
It is different to look at, but the editing modes let you type the APL characters without too much difficulty. I spent about 3 months doing a deep-dive into APL last year, it took about two weeks to become proficient typing it (already a touch typist, though). I still remember most of the character positions (the worst part for me was that I use Dvorak, so the visualized keymap is useless since most assume QWERTY layouts). I mostly used emacs, I think the default prefix character was `, but switched it to . . Typing iota: .i. Typing rho: .r.
"shutdown" or "reboot" as a UID=0 user with shell set to "/sbin/shutdown" or "/sbin/reboot" and a specific password is still occasionally found. Log in as that to shut down or reboot system.
The Qualified Manifesto on Hiring Software Developers
Some timings to show just how quickly Dyalog is improving, taken with the original function from OP and big.txt (https://github.com/ChrisPenner/wc/blob/master/data/big.txt) on a Kaby Lake i7. Dyalog releases about once a year, and 17.1 had almost no performance changes.

15.0: 93ms
16.0: 82ms
17.0: 7.4ms
17.1: 7.5ms
18.0: 5.3ms

There's still more room for improvement: although arithmetic functions use AVX2 when available, functions based on SSSE3 shuffle don't yet. That includes Membership (∊) here, which takes the majority of the runtime in my improved version of wc and should be twice as fast with AVX2.
I think Google should steer clear of being the morality police. It's up to people to use emojis (and words) responsibly depending on the context.

> Places with legal sex work have higher rates of human trafficking

Places with legal sex work have higher reported rates of human trafficking. This is not a surprise; one of the biggest arguments consistently made in favor of decriminalizing sex work is that it will make it easier to catch human trafficking, and make it easier for trafficking victims to come forward without the risk of being charged for a crime.'

Even the article you quote, if you take the time to read it all the way, doesn't draw the conclusion that the higher reported rates of human trafficking mean that sex work should be criminalized.
I'm always amazed when people figure out how to find new and interesting data from existing systems. Whether it's something like this, or say sniffing keyboard strokes from audio, a lot of times the information you need is right there, you just need to think outside the box about how to see it.

The author could move to a new blogsite and clone articles to Medium to keep that 18% audience. Treat it more like Twitter/FB/HN instead of the only source.

This has the drawback of more work for the author though. Perhaps there are tools that auto-publish to Medium for you.
I ran a online ecommerce shop selling electronics. It ultimately failed because I couldn't scale up. You need buy with cash directly from China and order at least a container at a time.

Almost every successful medium- or large-sized company has done this. As they grow, they open new offices, which they seed with existing staff who are willing to either permanently or temporarily relocate. Most of the time those offices have specific areas of focus, at least when they're starting out. That way they minimize cross-geographic dependencies. To pick a totally non-random example, Stripe has followed this model. It's evident when one looks at their job listings: https://stripe.com/jobs/search

By growing any one of their regional offices, they could move their headquarters. Toyota recently did this over the course of several years. They announced the relocation in 2014, but didn't officially move the HQ until 2016. The planning and execution spanned years before and after that timeframe as well.

The Fairness Doctrine only works if there are a small number of diametrically opposed viewpoints on every issue, but there aren't.

The Fairness Doctrine also existed under the assumption that media bandwidth was seriously limited (i.e., as it was in 1949 due to technical limitations that no longer exist).

The Fairness Doctrine also suffers from the same problem every other regulatory solution has: Who determines what is fair? There really is no objective way to enforce it.
