Well, I didn't know that race is determined by your chromosomes. TIL I guess. And I don't see how someone would identify as black if they aren't, it's a melatin level in the skin.

The issues about race have less to do with the issues about transgender people, and more with their struggles faced by fault of modern society, in addition to the struggles one would face as transgender and/or female, which can intersect quite badly.

I'm honestly astounded that HN apparently doesn't have any idea about intersectional discourse in the slightest, should be pretty obvious stuff.

I don't think its selective enforcement so much as different crimes that can appear superficially to fit the same facts.

Filing late because you made a mistake will cost you interest plus possibly a penalty relating to the amount. Tax evasion is a crime which can lead to jail time. The system will decide which one fits better based on your behavior, including how cooperative you are when they investigate it.

Just like if you hit someone in the head and they die. Maybe you will get charged with murder or maybe they will believe it is an accident. There's really no way to remove these human factors from the justice system.
We are lucky enough that the scientific community has bothered to elevate fasting from quackery to mainstream — despite the fact that it’s benefits have been obvious for literally thousands of years and a simple interventional study could have been carried out literally as early as science existed as a concept, but they couldn’t be fucked to do until 2016 or whatever. I think if you look deeply into any area of science you will somehow always end up being upset…

The chemicals in meat, fat and organs can be synthesized chemically or made in labs where relevant tissues are grown directly instead of the traditional way. And only a fraction of the population has health problems that would necessitate the diet anyway.

Yes! Perhaps not in the way that _some_ might interpret it, though; given it's append-only nature, undo events need to generate a new event, so in practice, you end up with a temporary pointer which traverses back and forth over the WAL, and new events being generated at the head. Admittedly, I actually use a separate legacy log for undo/redo at the moment, with a lifespan as long as a single client session. Room for improvement there (but it does the trick for now).

> can’t you go even further and discard all past events and replace it with the resulting state snapshot

Good question. Tis a tricky one to solve. If we were to maintain the WAL as a single source of truth, it will theoretically grow indefinitely due to the aggregation of delete-events (e.g. we _always_ need to know if a unique item has been deleted). As it stands, the compaction operates on all history, meaning we lose the richness of the history (whilst maintaining idempotency), but for benefit of reduced space and I/O requirements. If there was a need for point-in-time recovery or historical undo/redo, I could totally set a watermark level, e.g. "only compact up to N days ago".
Uh, my bad. It looks either version- or OS-specific. https://superuser.com/a/1147441/21439
You just need to buy a coffee sack or something similar to it and a big pitcher. 1 cup of ground coffee (coarse ground preferred but regular ground coffee works too) to 4 cups of water. Or 1:4 ratio of your preferred measurement vessel should work. The grounds go in the sack and then you put the sack into your pitcher with water. In about 18-24 hours, you can remove the sack and have a pitcher of cold brew coffee for the rest of the week.

EDIT: 18-24 hours refrigerated

'nano factory' fits inside a shipping container
Taking a break from my software developer job, I've started to work on my first ever hardware project and with too much free time on my hands it quickly turned into something bigger than I've anticipated.

Working with a friend, we wanted to explore the use of 3D scanners on construction sites but quickly got stuck as no cheap hardware was available to fool around with. How hard can it be to build one I thought? I've already programmed Arduinos to blink LEDs before, this isn't that different... Then a few months into the project I've realized that I've spent way too much time on this to let it go to waste and started turning this into a community project.

At this point I've reached the first milestone of having a working 3D scanner with (hopefully) enough documentation to help others get started with building their own. I'm sharing this with you now to spread the word, get feedback and to invite you to contribute if you feel like it! (:

Kind Regards,
Daniel

You really notice this if you're outside mainstream social networks. People at some point start to have infinite discussions IRL about some new uninteresting topic you never heard about like it was the most important thing in the world.

You listen them argue with polarized and surprisingly well defined opinions, like they're reciting some script they're supposed to follow to defend their faction of choice. You change social circle, like go from friends to family, to find the very same discussions with the same factions and the same detailed, almost scripted arguments.

Meanwhile you keep wondering why they even care, and why they're so passionate about it, it's like they're under some kind of spell which for some reason didn't work on you.
> US chose to spend trillions militarily

People in US are free to vote any party that they wanted. They supported the people that spends trillions in the army instead to vote for other options.

If you have presidents that despised healthcare, expressed publicly their preference for the uneducated ones, and loathed the poor, the disabled and the non-white, well... this is what you asked for. Deal with it.

If you have presidents that spend trillions in the army and you don't want it, choose presidents with other priorities.

I'm really sorry, but please don't blame Europe for that.
> The "James demore event" was a guy arguing that some of his coworkers were less-than-qualified because they were women.

That does not match my recollection. Did you read his memo or just second hand reports of it?
That was only true in some states during Jim Crow. Others had different definitions of "white". In fact it was possible for some "black" people to become "white" just by crossing a state boundary.

Racism is stupid.
Reading a comment like this I mainly think "wow TV and social media have really f-ed up young people these days".

Back in my high school days, we had some bathing events and also shared sauna. One could either voluntary use the nude beach, or walk a bit and go to an outdoor pool with proper changing rooms and dressed people.

I think the split was roughly 50/50 and there also wasn't much gender skew.

But that was a time before smartphones. When people still walked over to each other's house to hang out.

I call bullshit. In computer science, not releasing the code of an algorithm whose output you describe is akin to maliciously obfuscating your methods. No serious paper should be accepted without a script to reproduce the exact same results again.
So the makers know of the security issue, but still leave it in by default? That's bad. Either fix the issue, or put warnings all over the place that cannot be missed to inform the user.

> Perfect! Isn't that the point? Automation to make our lives easier? More automation will lead to commoditization of robots, instead of the current commoditization and dehumanization of humans.

> Again your mindset shows you want to use automation as a threat against humanity to keep human cattle in line, and not as a force for good.

Look, you're trying very hard to put me in some narrative that solely exists in your head, not mine.

Automation is not a "threat". It's happening, but it needs a push. And unions are here to provide that push. You think that millions of unemployable workers is somehow less "dehumanizing" than having a job that matches their skillset. Bizarre.

Tyrian purple was way more expensive than ultramarine. It required vast numbers of snails for very small amounts of dye. When royalty couldn't afford it, the production method was lost very quickly.

In addition, I'm pretty sure it didn't have a stable solid form. It also wasn't a particularly stable color (Tyrian purple robes would change color over time).

Both of those, by themselves, would be enough to preclude its use by artists. The cost was just adding insult to injury.

The forced divergence for political reasons might be true for the Balkan languages, but not for the Central European ones. The only artificial force in Czech has been the attempt to get rid of the German influence, and judging by the huge similarities in morphology of Czech to German, it wasn’t very successful.
Let me put forward this absurd argument:

Rape was a legitimate tactic for females to pass their genes along too, because if your male kid inherits rapist tendencies he’s more likely to procreate. So female brains really evolved in such a way that they want to be raped, and that’s why seductive clothing and rape kinks exist.

The point being: evolutionary biology is great for rationalizing just about any theory and therefore isn’t really a solid foundation for making conclusions about large swathes of the population.

Putting forward an argument like this doesn’t add much except for more male self hate. I don’t think you should have no problem “admitting” this.
This isn't an entitlement issue; it's a public safety issue.

If some philanthropist were to give out free bicycles to everyone, but it turns out that unless you tighten a bolt one of the main support bars will likely snap and could even impale you, the government would rightfully go after them regardless of any "without warranty" disclaimer or EULA.

The investments needed to improve processes have been going up every year. There can only be so many companies that can pour billions of dollars into R&D each year.

If you want to sustain a local cutting-edge manufacturer even when its capacities are redundant or too small to be economical then the pot of subsidies would have to increase yearly and not be spent wastefully. Is there a precedent for that?

Yes I've heard lots of criticism about the V extension.

Not read the article yet but commenting while I remember... Prime Minister Gladstone who translated Homer in his spare time, thought that the ancient Greeks, or at least Homer where colour blind. Gladstone said "We have a great deal of difficulty in translating Homer’s colour terms into modern western languages" Homer, apparently had the colour literacy of a modern child, he described oxen as the colour of the sky and described the sea as wine-dark. Though many of Homers colours may just be poetic. Gladstone used to argue with Tennyson, who also translated Homer. They would take turns reading to each other and then debate the relative merits of each other's choices. It takes a poet to read a poet.

In reality time and attention are limited resources. Does network-level filtering have a good RoI relative to putting the same effort into improving security at the service level? IMO no (at least not until you've reached a very high level of service security where you're hitting severely diminishing returns) - network-level security is necessarily at least one of a) crude b) complex enough that it becomes an attack surface itself - though reasonable people can disagree.
This has been known since before the 1997 handover. The smart ones left and are now saying I told you so to everyone who stayed. What left is there to say to those people.
Out of respect for you taking the time to respond, I will elaborate my claims more specifically. My assertion regarding bullet voting is isolated to elections where the voting body cannot be bothered to engage carefully, because they barely care about the race. In addition, the drawbacks must be then compared with other voting methods, which may face the same bullet issue in equal measure. The bullet voting comparison I am making is between Score and Approval; I think Score will face less bullet voting than Approval does.

A typical example where bullet voting should occur is a down-ballot election. Examples of low-engagement elections at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting#Other_organiza... bear out that these elections degrade in behavior to plurality. However, it can't be determined just from this behavior that IRV or Condorcet would do any better.

> https://www.rangevoting.org/BulletBugaboo.html

1-3 have major engagement from voters and I do not expect approval voting to suffer unduly from bullet voting. 4, an alumni association, should. However, the question then becomes, what about other voting methods? Because if the voter has weak information on the other candidates, he may simply bullet vote under all voting methods. In this context, Score needs testing. Voting values between 0 and 1 would give a much better idea of how voter engagement is affecting their votes, rather than their second choice always collapsing to zero. This is why I claim that it is "unclear to what extent it affects score methods in practice". Granular cardinal scores in even one such election would mean a lot for determining voter behavior.

I do not support FairVote's arguments and consider them dishonest. Notice that in my original post, I carefully describe bullet voting as a consequence of low engagement, which is supported by past real-world low-engagement elections. This is very distinct from FairVote's arguments, which are not sophisticated and demonstrate a willingness to make blind claims. The distortions that FairVote argues for require more justification than they give.

I don't believe much in that simulation. While I agree with your characterization of it as the "best computer modeling" in voting theory, it would still be considered a fatally flawed paper under the standards of most fields, and I faced some heavy obstacles when trying to analyze it. I think this field needs more/better academics. I described some of my objections at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27612876
I will admit I rarely use it for things that are so mission critical that this would matter. That said, it's always nice to leave the data more complete than you found it in these cases.

There are many solutions here. I can come up with several. All would limit Apple's power, and that's the issue for them.

Maybe Apple should have thought about the implications of "valiently" eliminating choice for (quite nearly) half of U.S. voting population during and after an election year. They played their cards terribly, and it hasn't aged well.
This massive PITA is why I switched to using Hetzner's upstream colo firewall instead of on-host iptables on my boxes there running Docker. It's lame and also it's not even stateful, but at least the garbage software coming out of Docker Inc these days can't accidentally open my system up to the world.

The userspace proxy used by Docker Swarm is still trashing my L3 client IPs though, yet another docker networking hassle.

Ultimately solely relying on an L3 firewall for access control is a bad idea, though. Your services should all have authentication turned on, even if they are only bound to localhost, for reasons which at this moment must be obvious.
Do you have some good articles that give an overview over this?
As someone who has been running multiple services with millions of users for decades:

1. I need to be able to connect to my DB from anywhere.

2. No idea what that even means.

3. Don't know. Never even touched the firewall.

I have a PW on my DB and that's it. Why do I need more than that?
I was barely hanging on to a lot of the math notation, but the author argues the advantage of the randomization is that on average the performance will be constant across all datasets. That is, once you develop a sense for how the system performs, you shouldn’t be surprised by wild performance swings.

If that is not a valuable feature for you, the I believe you could use any clustering hash function you want, including a deterministic one.
Easily, sacrifice a bit of efficiency by testing more applicants directly instead of measuring them with broken yardsticks. Accept more redundancy. Take chances with people.

Fire politicians and lawyers and managers at will too, instead of terms or no change. In fact, even more readily than line workers since impact is greater.

Wait, that's not what we have? Then we don't have a meritocracy. We have a system of credentialism.

Hey HN

As part of our Product Hunt launch we just released a live demo
that lets you explore and analyze Product Hunt data using plain English questions.

You could ask for instance:

- What were the top 10 posts in Crypto this year

- What's the average number of votes for Analytic posts?

- Which weekday has the most posts?
