In spite of what the submission title seems to suggest, the study does not claim that they found a 0.8% loss of all gray matter for alcohol drinkers.

What they actually found is that of the total variance in the amount of gray matter, they could explain 0.8% of that variance by alcohol consumption.
And the red states will pay 'out of state' prices for higher quality universities in the blue areas, leading to even greater segregation along educational lines. (Actually, this is probably already happening...)
The most innocuous explanation is that the URL was automatically generated from the headline, and then the headline was later changed but the URL was not. I've seen that situation happen on multiple news websites. Most commonly as new information is added to an existing website, but sometimes the headline will simply get changed over the course of the day as the article is promoted from the middle of the page, up to the top, back down to the bottom.
In which French did you find "por chase”? (this is not aggressive, I am french and this does not mean anything but it may be a dialect or some as ancient French?)

i'm confused about this part -- you were doing what, that lead to your income doubling?
It surprises me that people think that it isn't possible to make money selling emulators.

My first reaction was that this is against Article IV Section III of the Constitution. But, reading it again shifting borders of existing states doesn't seem to be prohibited. It would be interesting to see how something like this actually played out.
The point is, principles are great when you only consider their upsides. I'm not against encryption or for ultra-restrictive automated moderation, I'm just saying it's a trade-off.

In practice we want to pick the course of action that minimizes harm. Having your video demonetized is one kind of harm, having videos of harassment or revenge porn posted online is another.

The kind of people who say "we should never have false positives, ever" are never the people who will have to defend these positions once somebody gets harmed by them and kicks up a scandal.
That's news to me, IMO indeed a more fun alternative than drinking pure water. Thanks for mentioning it :)

As others mentioned, this was just a reminder of existing laws. Its not really a new decision.
Insofar as efficiency equates with precision (kind of, I would have thought), here's some data that doesn't take your view. English comes out top out of seven popular languages but only just.

https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2015/06/whats_the_most...

I wonder which you think is a more precise language than English? As a monoglot, I can't comment.
I think this is a bit of a mischaracterization of both the science and what I was saying. Genetic intelligence is not a min/maxed limit that we all have to work hard to reach. It is something that is fairly static and innate. It can be disrupted by trauma/nutrition but obviously for the vast majority of people that is absolutely not the case. We are born with, and live up to, our genetic intelligence. Very few of us in the first world were undernourished or subjected to extreme trauma at childhood.
Not if you're human.
Setting aside my personal opinions. I think it's safe to say that there are pros and cons to exceptions versus error values.

But, I think it's even more safe to say that error values are not a silver bullet that inevitably lead to robust code. As mentioned I'm personally dealing with some very poorly done error values right now. I resent the idea that error values "force" robust code (I wish that force was in effect on my own project), or "just works so well."

They're really not that different, the two approaches.
Look, all I want to do is avoid paying capital gains taxes on internet money that I earned with no effort. Is that so wrong?
We wait for everyone to pay their portion before making the payments to the merchant/landlord.

That seems very high risk. Back when I lived in shared houses I'd prefer to pay and then be reimbursed by whoever missed their share than have the rent paid late. Could users set up a discretionary fund that's used to cover missed payments from their friends?
My favourite word is in Nuxalk: clhp'xwlhtlhplhhskwts' . It has no vowels and it's pronounced [xɬpʼχʷɬtʰɬpʰɬːskʷʰt͡sʼ]. You can here it here[1]. It means "he had had in his possession a bunchberry plant".

I mean Oregon was founded as a white only state it's right in there constitution.

> No free negro or mulatto not residing in this state at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall come, reside or be within this state or hold any real estate, or make any contracts, or maintain any suit therein; and the legislative assembly shall provide by penal laws for the removal by public officers of all such negroes and mulattoes, and for their effectual exclusion from the state, and for the punishment of persons who shall bring them into the state, or employ or harbor them.

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

So it's not surprising so much of the state is like this. People give the south crap but the Pacific Northwest was literally founded on these ideals and it still very much persists to this day.
Humans don't work that way. We always create hierarchies of power and control, it's innate to our primate nature.

Preschool in the San Francisco Bay Area is between $1,200 and $2,000 a month (1). The median house price in the Bay Area is over $1M so just the good faith deposit on a house is >$30K let alone the downpayment and closing costs so you're going to have like at least three >$10K transactions. A four-star hotel in Hawaii is >$500/night, a five-star is >$1,000/night. So a nice two week vacation in Hawaii is >$8K just for flights and hotel for 2 people. The average household income in the Bay Area is >$150K/year (2). $10K isn't a lot of money in California and $70K seems much more reasonable for reporting purposes.

The still unanswered question. Will Robinhood make their own IPO available this way.
Hacker News, unlike reddit does not have a NSFW warning for submissions.

Additionally, I would say it's reasonable to assume that something that says it is an "offensive tweet quiz" is a quiz that shows offensive tweets, and that therefore any offensive tweet is by definition not suitable for work.

One could argue and say that Twitter should identify and filter out some types of offensive tweets so that, for example, porn is not shown - but that would be explicitly addressing the subject of the submission rather cleverly.

Do you have an example of a situation in which you'd want to cast the result of arithmetic intptr_t values to a pointer? The situations I can think of off the top of my head would be better done as arithmetic between pointers.
I don't even know where to start: backwards compatibility to 90s era crypto, no forward secrecy, a web of trust model that encourages you to have a long-lived key – because with short-lived keys your trust has to be rebuilt after expiry, a cryptosystem that violently leaks metadata...

PGP should've died years ago; there are far better options today.
Were the images loading by default for you? I intended to set it up so that the images showed up as links for you to click if you wanted to or not - and there is a warning above the quiz about clicking the links. Although, granted, I could have been more explicit in the warning about what the images might contain.
What you’re looking for is Calibre ebook. And for the kobo there is a plug-in that makes any ebook a kobo ebook so you get niceties on all sideloaded ebooks that only books from the kobo store get.
Sure, but if they feel that way and if they actually think Idaho will be more aligned to their values then it's not far away and it looks a whole lot like Eastern Oregon. These symbolic votes won't change anything for them. Ironic that a lot of these folks are in the "love it or leave it" camp.
There is a lot between SF and Manhattan in terms of of floor area / land area. The difference doesn't show up as obviously in the residential numbers because Manhattan has so much commercial relative to residential usage.

Paris or Seoul might be good goal posts for SF and the Bay Area; even outer-borough NYC is still more dense. Without arguing the merits of preservationism one way or another, SF could "look" the same and be a lot more dense if:

1) Garages are converted to apartments. Easiest and cheapest for the housing itself, but requires much better transit

2) The Sunset is raised up to not be shorter than the older parts of the city. Yes, that's a big change, but I think people are less sentimental about the little ticky tacky boxes than Victorians.

I find it vary interesting how old apartments like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consulate-General_of_Russia_in... amid a see of single family homes point to how before post-war suburbanization everything was set to densify with a look and feel like the tenderloin (the buildings themselves, when they were new, don't hate). Even the 60s modernist towers on e.g. Russian hill, for all their excessive parking and other issues, are bigger.

The thing to remember is NYC wasn't so different than the rest of the country pre-war. Rather it was farther ahead on the same trends, and when the trends abruptly reversed it was left was a critical mass of good transit to sustain "real urbanism" through stagnation and bad policy, while other cities weren't. Only after all that did such a stark dichotomy emerge.
I think some people have narrow or more sensitive ear canal. Give a try to kids' ear plugs and also see instructions how to insert them correctly (effortlessly by pulling the ear up). I had a issue with foam ear plugs due to the pressure, but kids' foam ear plugs are perfect for me, even for side sleeping.
I doubt it. it is not like you could buy a bunch of cars and stick them in your closet. I've never found any commodity car that fun to drive compared to commodity EVs
You're talking about a different feature. Google can screen an unknown call with an automated message asking them to leave their name and why they're calling before giving the user the option to pick up.
"StackBlitz v2 Beta currently works in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. We’re hoping to add support for more browsers as they implement the necessary Web Platform features."

Pretty useless, then. What features are missing? As far as I know Firefox was one of the major contributors to pushing WebASM to the web and has a superior WASM engine in many aspects.

I'd be more interested in a post about what WebASM features are missing than an announcement that someone hacked Javascript into a browser.
This is true, however, the sample size is quite large, they controlled for confounders, and they address the possibility that this is all a coincidence:

> Whilst we controlled analyses for all known confounders and were more thorough in this than any previously published study, we cannot exclude the possible of residual confounding. However, the sensitivity analyses estimated that unobserved confounding would need to be of a greater strength than any recognized observed confounder, including age and smoking, to obviate the association between alcohol and brain health, which seems implausible.

As an informal / heuristic argument, it seems practical to conclude there is some causal relationship.
Who buys up all the farmed coins on these new cryptocurrencies.

It is really just speculation fever?
That's an important qualifier, yes... but I think my questions still stand. In order to know how to change our behavior, we need to know what that additional variance means in terms of implications for one's health.
Well, they've never been at a full match with inflation but banks did use to actually pay interest on savings accounts once upon a time.

I think it's reasonable to allow members of society that want to sit on cash to preserve their quantity to a certain extent in that manner - even if it will fall short of gains expected by inflation.
Oh, that's precious. I hope they ship this, and that the components aren't too expensive. They look expensive.

"I don't think it is a stable situation once someone gains the means to conquer by force."

Obviously, it hasn't been historically.

But an interesting long-term trend (across the last few centuries) is that "conquest by force" is becoming less and less effective. In the ancient world, "conquest by force" meant you got to take their land, take their food, take their livestock, and just in general take all their stuff that they worked for without you having to work for it, and this is clearly an advantageous move. If you destroyed their infrastructure, meh. It was easily replaced.

As our world becomes more and more technological, though, an increasing amount of our wealth is in people, infrastructure, and relationships. It is effectively impossible today to "conquer" a country in the conventional sense and enjoy their wealth as a result. You can force a slave to harvest wheat, but you can't force them to participate at full capacity in a software engineering role with a hundred other people. (Part of why as many people have observed, slavery was on its way out in the South whether the civil war happened or not, albeit perhaps decades later.) Militaries remain an important component of how countries relate to each other, as a chess understanding would suggest, even the threat of mass destruction is (whether we like it or not) a very big and important stick, but today the threat is military destruction... not conquest.

If we continue even farther into this direction, well... what would the effects be?

(An interesting test case for the point of view I am propounding here is China's attempts to militarily conquer Taiwan. If they do undertake it, it would be one of the most interesting such conquest attempts in a long time, because unlike the Ukraine/Crimea where I think Russia wanted the land rights more than anything else, China wants the people of Taiwan. Will the people of Taiwan just acquiesce and continue generating wealth for China to take? Or will China discover that the jewel is much less desirable than they thought? Stay tuned.)

I'll end with, please note the difference between "less and less effective" and "ineffective". Military conquest isn't necessarily ineffective. But it used to get you a much higher percentage of the "good stuff" of the conquered territory. Today, if you "conquer" a nation, but had to wipe out its entire industrial infrastructure in order to finally convince it to stop resisting you, percentage wise you've won a lot less of what there was before you started to conquer them. It's not hard to get to the point where you won less than you would have had you just taken what you put into your military effort and used it to build locally instead of destroy.
the GMC Safari is a real body-on-frame truck, with a van body. I have seen Astrovans with half a million miles on them, going strong.

I agree that the Grand Caravan is a bit flimsier, but mine has been in the family since it was new and well-maintained. Still strong 12 years later
8000 pounds for a 50min train ride season ticket is absolutely insane. Are the trains fancy like the orient express?
The real problem is in a better world 'int' would be replaced by types that actually exhibit the correct behavior.

for a loop counter you want an index type that will seg fault on overflow. If you think not having that check is worth it the programmer would need to tag it with unsafe.

It's also problematic because it's size is defined as at least 16 bits. But programmers which means you should never use it to store a constant larger than 16 bits. But people do that all the time.

> I regret to inform you that you are wrong. I know that you've likely heard this from someone else -- perhaps even someone respected -- but it's just not true. The law says no such thing. Again, I encourage you to read it. The law does distinguish between "interactive computer services" and "information content providers," but that is not, as some imply, a fancy legalistic ways of saying "platform" or "publisher." There is no "certification" or "decision" that a website needs to make to get 230 protections. It protects all websites and all users of websites when there is content posted on the sites by someone else.

also:

> First off, there is no "neutrality" requirement at all in Section 230. Seriously. Read it. If anything, it says the opposite. It says that sites can moderate as they see fit and face no liability. This myth is out there and persists because some politicians keep repeating it, but it's wrong and the opposite of truth. Indeed, any requirement of neutrality would likely raise significant 1st Amendment questions, as it would be involving the law in editorial decision making.
Oregon has a long history of encoding racism into law, from the Black Exclusion laws from its early history to sundown laws that lasted into the 20th century.

Idaho, too -- the Aryan Nations had their headquarters in the Hayden Lake area for a long time, until the early 2000s if I remember.

It's only in the big cities that you get a lot of a liberal/progressive presence, outside that you get anywhere from libertarians to evangelicals to the outright racists/alt-right types.
Yes it makes me really annoyed and is definitely a contributing factor for why I'm still at my current employer, I lose all hope after reading a couple. Skimming past the bullshit only goes so far. It would also be great if I didn't have to go to a third-party source to find out what their hiring process looks like. I have little interest being grilled over a whiteboard when I'm not even sure if I want to work at the company yet.
To do UB "optimizations", the compiler first needs to figure out that there is an UB it can "optimize" anyway. At this point instead of "optimizing" it could, and in my humble opinion absolutely should, blow up the compilation by generating an UB error, so people can fix their stuff.

What about backwards compatibility in regards to a new compiler version deciding to issue errors on UB now? You don't have any guarantees about what happens with UB right now, so if you upgrade to a new version compiler that generates errors instead of "optimizations" everything would be still as before: no guarantees. And it's frankly a lot better to blow up the compilation with errors than to have the compiler accept the UB code and roll a dice on how the final binary will behave later. You can either fix the code to make it compile again, or use an older "known good" version of the compiler that you previously used as a stopgap measure.

I fail to see any reason whatsoever why compilers are still doing all kinds of stupid stuff with UB instead of doing the right thing and issuing errors when they encounter UB.

I also fail to see why the C language designers still insist on keeping so much of the legacy shit around.
Section 230 was written to allow platforms to do just this.

As an example, say I run a forum dedicated to flowers. Topics include Care & Feeding, Arranging, and Drying & Pressing.

As a moderator, I can choose to block all posts that deal with geraniums, because I hate the smell of those. If I then miss a post titled, "Hey, who's bringing the flowers to the cocaine and machine gun party next week?", I am not suddenly liable for that.

I moderate in good faith, but my FlowerForum has gotten really popular recently, and I am starting to miss some posts. Users didn't report it to me, I wasn't on my radar. My previous activity banning users that like geraniums will not cause me to become the "publisher" of all forum content.
The studies I've read also suggest the grey matter may come back if the drinking is ceased; it might just be a water ratio adaption.
What you've written doesn't demonstrate the issue outlined in the big report. The issue is that real-world code defends against certain hostile inputs like so, and that the optimization breaks those defenses:

int a,b,c;
a=INT_MAX; /\* statement ONE */
b=a+2; /* statement TWO */
c=(b>a); /* statement THREE \*/

Whether or not you think this is technically permissible by a sufficiently self-serving (from the perspective of a person whose ONLY goal is speed optimization) reading of spec is irrelevant. Any reading of the spec should err on the side of protection against real-world consequences.

I don't want lawyering and technically correct-ing, I want pragmatism.

Sounds romantic (no sarcasm). Is it your home? Where do you live?
Most are farmers who have been working the same land for generations. They know it inside and out under all sorts of conditions. It's kind of trivial to move a household vs an entire farm system. It can take several years to get it all up and running again, depending on your crop/animals of course.

There is no political back and forth like there used to be where you'd have republicans controlling things for a time and then democrats. It's been mostly Portland democrats controlling the state for over 20 years now. The needs of most of the state, by geography but which has a lower population, are not the same as those in the 1 big city the state has, so a lot of people are interested in changing that with democratic votes.

Since Portland pays the lionshare of taxes for the state, you'd think they'd be happy getting rid of the poorer parts of the states that they have to currently subsidize. Seems like it would be a win-win for everybody involved. What are the downsides?

If you look at the state senate map, there is a lot more red land mass than blue. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oregon_Senate_map.pn...
It sounds like you think kubernetes et al. are a suitable replacement for ansible et al. , however k8s are not able to provision settings on a Web Application Firewall from F5 and the iLO links on your HP blade server farm. Et Al. Your statement works if you are letting AWS/MS/Google do all that for you and all you are responsible for are package dependencies and joining the right VLANs. Not everyone is so lucky and actual Configuration Management tools like Ansible+, while not perfect, make Domain Specific (i.e. real world Multi-Vendor) large environments run on time for most of the time.
No worries, Feynman used such a word in Portuguese when he did not know the short, common one and it was a great success.
