This still happened as recently as 100 years ago. Con men would set up false banks in small towns and make off with a lotnof money. Lookup Yellow Kid Weil.
Reasonable, given the title, but as someone who had no idea how smell receptors work, I thought it was neat.

The nut:

> [T]he limited repertoire of receptors on its olfactory sensory neurons must somehow recognize a vast number of compounds. So an individual receptor has to be able to respond to many diverse, seemingly unrelated odor molecules.

> That versatility is at odds with the traditional lock-and-key model governing how selective chemical interactions tend to work. [....]

> Now, new work has taken a crucial and much anticipated step forward in elucidating the beginning stages of the olfactory process. In a preprint posted online earlier this year, a team of researchers at Rockefeller University in New York provided the first molecular view of an olfactory receptor as it bound to an odor molecule.
Like the other reply, I had no issue at all using it on Firefox on Windows. Even with a whole host of privacy addons and settings enabled.
Counter-party risk. 9/10 times you won't get the money back from the girl.

You're right about the case getting tossed in most circumstances but you can suss that out by asking for proof of when they bought the copyright from the girl and checking the effective date.
Yeah, I can't even really hear the whole word in the linked video, to be honest, but that sounds like a "hard r" to me... scrolls the thread yeah she definitely didn't say "nigga."

Hmmm what timing ;)

Time will tell and I'll expect a continuation of this thread in the months to come as the trend continues and if we ever do in fact reveal the reality of UFO's at least in part as our own technology.

The trend is that hard nosed scientific thinkers and skeptics are about to be have their realities met. I did some digging and to my mind this is the best course of evidence of what I think these UFO's are. An enigmatic mix of known universal forces being manipulated and captured in circuitry and encased in unique metal alloys.

I could be on track, or completely wrong about everything.
Why specifically Einstein... 5000 cushy people isn't likely to produce an Einstein but could easily produce some great artist or engineer or other researcher.

Anyway about Einstein you need to think about how many physicists existed at his time that had the education to even work on a theory of relativity. It's probably about 5 thousand. Think about it in terms of sports, someone who is a 1 in 5000 talent probably wouldn't even make it onto a college sports team, but that's because sports is something we as a society support tremendously. Someone like Michael Jordan is 1 out of 10 million, cut down the overall population to 5000 and it's like celebrating the "genius" of a district middle school star.
I think this is the main con of American individualism. The alternative is the culture in Asian societies and perhaps to some extent in European ones as well - there is always an Uncle or Aunty who is watching out for you. Of course that has cons where you can't do things that are unconventional, but at the very least you have a stop gap to help young people who are lost.
It looks like your account has been using HN primarily for ideological battle. Can you please not do that? It's against the rules here because it destroys the curious conversation that HN is supposed to exist for. We ban accounts that do this, regardless of what their ideology happens to be.

True, but I feel like that is an argument for the state to not object to prostitution. If the state wasn't onjecting, the industry or the state could then have some more oversight/licensing and be 'safer' for all.
I put safer in quotes because I don't think "oversight" is always very effective or makes conditions safer, easy to look at Amazon wearhouse workers or cell phone assembly factories as pretty exereme cases of people selling their bodies for money and the supposed oversight not really doing much to lessen the exploitation/abuse.

Right or wrong courts pretty much always lag popular consensus in a democracy so the debate will happen elsewhere first.
Well cool_dude85 claims it is a racist slur, when the reality is that it can be a racist slur, which I would argue (and you seem to agree) is not the same thing.
I thought he was more held up as an archetype of the "strange" ones who people misunderstand at first, but end up contributing in a large way. That's why he was plastered on classrooms and his image used in anti-bullying campaigns in the 90's.

Of course, in those he was always stood out alone but probably more for the convenience of a simple message for children/mass consumption.

I am familiar with Chalk Talk, however I think Ken is trying to achieve something different. He is trying to explain stuff to other people with his tool; summoning visualization that are suitable at the moment. My aim is bit different — enrich the individual’s ability to think unthinkable thoughts at the moment. Let me explain. I like to think with paper and pencil, but I am often limited by my “computational” mind. Computer is just faster than my mind and I would like to leverage that speed in the moment with pen and paper.
Wow, that's insanely awful, at least in my opinion. I loved my iPod shuffle. Pretty much the exact same form factor as this.
You said “it is a myth that most rich people inherited their wealth”, which you introduced as a subject, and I don’t think his comment was trying to say anything about your point exactly, either way. He said he was talking anecdotally, i.e. he was explicitly talking about his experiences which are true by definition, and not generalising to what your experience might be.
Ah yes, I misread your intent. That would be very nice to have. There is this breakdown of features[0] present in Nim compared to Python which might be helpful when doing this.

if someone from github is looking at this, can u please include Gitlab's "Scoped Labels" in this - https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/labels.html#scoped-l...

it seems that the new issues are going to operate on the basis of labels (as it should). Scoped/Nested labels are a godsend. For example, I can tag an issue with a label "UI::App::Android" and i should be able to filter on the basis of "UI::App" and get all issues.

One of the things i still notice about the boards is that it is created on the basis of status. Gitlab's boards are created on milestones/status...or LABELS. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#org...

Most importantly, dragging tickets across boards will change the labels. This is far more powerful than just hardcoding them on statuses.
OP is right about "lifting the wages of the out sourced countries". International workers movements really are important. We need capital controls based on labor and environmental standards not nationalism to avoid a race to the bottom.
Then what of your comments anything to do with topic "The ongoing witch-hunt for sex workers in Sweden"?
Presumably you would want a professional engineer or project manager to triage and curate issues long before they end up on a developer's actual task list, in which case it really wouldn't matter.

> There are historical reasons to think that curbing extremist speech protects democracy (see the Weimar Republic).

You think the Weimar Republic is a point in favor of that claim?

In my research, I looked into what actually happened in the Weimar Republic and found that, contrary to what most people think, Germany did have hate‐speech laws that were applied quite frequently. The assertion that Nazi propaganda played a significant role in mobilizing anti‐Jewish sentiment is irrefutable. But to claim that the Holocaust could have been prevented if only anti‐Semitic speech had been banned has little basis in reality. Leading Nazis, including Joseph Goebbels, Theodor Fritsch, and Julius Streicher, were all prosecuted for anti‐Semitic speech. And rather than deterring them, the many court cases served as effective public relations machinery for the Nazis, affording them a level of attention that they never would have received in a climate of a free and open debate.

In the decade from 1923 to 1933, the Nazi propaganda magazine Der Stürmer — of which Streicher was the executive publisher — was confiscated or had its editors taken to court no fewer than 36 times. The more charges Streicher faced, the more the admiration of his supporters grew. In fact, the courts became an important platform for Streicher’s campaign against the Jews.

Alan Borovoy, general counsel of the Canadian Civil Liberties Foundation, points out that cases were regularly brought against individuals on account of anti‐Semitic speech in the years leading up to Hitler’s takeover of power in 1933. “Remarkably, pre‐Hitler Germany had laws very much like the Canadian anti‐hate law,” he writes. “Moreover, those laws were enforced with some vigour. During the 15 years before Hitler came to power, there were more than 200 prosecutions based on anti‐Semitic speech…

These phones aren't widely available - just look at several of the comments in this story comment.

At the risk of putting words in the OPs post, such comments usually refer to linux on the desktop or other general purpose computing devices (also like the phones being discussed here), not server, embedded or other non-general purpose computing uses.
This is the same thing people said about gay rights 15 years ago.
As you can guess there is a lot we do when it comes to attachments to keep the platform safe, which includes having an allow list of them. Now, I agree there is room for improvement and are looking into an attachment API that will address this.

I believe those, in particular, are part of the party infrastructure, and just on there because it's a Democratic Party Primary ballot.

We elect some form of party-apparatus delegates here in California too, though the Democratic Party here holds those elections separately and privately.

The only one I've ever been actively aware was happening was because I was dating someone working for a prominent state politician, and got dragged along to vote for people I'd never heard of in some park.
Well, you could consider counter-examples from terfisaslur.com. You probably even know that such a thing exists, but you failed to bring it up.

An experiment you can perform at home: do an exact search on Google for the phrase "punch a terf" and wonder if this is meant to suggest violence.

CIS (as born) women may also have (traditional) male-like traits. If you separate people by traits in prison, then why separate based on trans-ness alone? For example, large women are more likely to rape small women in prison simply because they can. If you separate based on such risks, then separate large women from small women also; why focus on just trans?

Many prisons already separate by ethnic group simply to keep the peace. Yes, it's segregation, but the alternative is more prison riots.

Thus, if separation happens for practical reasons, then don't limit the separation practices to one group; otherwise, you will be accused of discrimination, perhaps justifiably. Use statistics, not stereotypes, to find the split points.

Or get better security so mixing doesn't result in problems. Lowest-bidder security has down-sides.
> People don’t deserve to be ground to a pulp while your simulation plays out.

IMHO you're making a judgment about what other people want, but those people's actions suggest otherwise. Amazon doesn't have a monopoly on its workers, and those workers are free to work at other places: a different company's warehouse, a non-warehouse job, etc. They are choosing to stay at Amazon for some reason, so it seems like the bundle of Amazon's work intensity and its wages & benefits is worth it to a lot of people.

As an analogy, if Google hypothetically paid $200k to engineers for 40-hour weeks while Amazon paid $400k to engineers for 70-hour weeks, then there would be engineers that prefer one and engineers that prefer the other. But these engineers are not forced to work at either of those companies. In this scenario, an engineer at Amazon might complain about 70-hour weeks and poor work-life balance, but if they're working there then they find those negative conditions worth the compensation.
Don't forget trying to use it for "productivity metrics".
Your experience with DRF depends on

1. started hello world app: wow magic!

2. doing real world situations with slightly weird scenarios: This is very confusing. Why did they make this so complicated.

3. after digging into the source code and reading the docs: Oh this makes sense after all. I'm going to extend it where need be but overall stick to the pattern

4. after hiring 5 engineers to work on the same code base: DRF is the bible and and shall heap scorn all MRs that deviate from its mantras.
Your last point is one that people don’t agree on though, which makes the topic challenging.
no one I know with a Surface Book at work have had any hardware issues at all. hinge never got loose, docking and undocking from the keyboard works fine and as expected, etc.

not sure what you're basing your opinion on. maybe people near you have more issues, I dunno.
I'm one of them. Grew up with "they" as strictly plural. Had enough red ink on school essays that the lesson sank in. Every time I see "they" in a singular context it's like mentally stubbing my toe on a tree root. I have to stop, go back and re-read to be sure I didn't miss something that set up the plural context.

If you insist on being gender-neutral, you have to write "he or she" which quicky gets tiresome. Or rewrite without using pronouns, which can also be awkward.

I learned that "he" is gender-neutral if there is no other context, and that's the way I continue to write.

I looked it up, it was fully in place by summer 2018.

P.S. I didn't say "dramatically". I said "zero" improvement. Doing better than zero is as low a bar as possible. I fail to see that as unreasonable. There isn't even a plan for success.
Yes but with as nice of a UX.
Opaque fees that vary based on method of request annoy me in the same way that fees that only appear at the end of the purchase process. They affect my decision whether/how to order, and they cause me to spend time going down one path when I would have otherwise gone down another.

I recall seeing discussion of how Yelp (I think?) was routing users to proxy phone numbers for businesses, and then charging them a referral fee based on order size. Pretty much everyone commenting thought that this was inappropriate. Would you agree? This seems to be pretty close to your example about telephone rates.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm, but yes, I agree. That is more palatable than quoting violent white supremacist rhetoric.
Your point is wrong. C was /not/ intended for safety critical applications. Therefore, it makes sense that using it in that context will require adaptation.

For Ada it does not. It’s tire patching.

Same here. Ive tried a few different pinephone OSes and it's just not quite there.

For my android phone, i use password manager, 2fa, camera, reddit, a few random time killer games/apps (specifics dont matter as long as I can kill time). My on-call pager doenst NEED an app, since they will text/call me. But I have poor reception in my house so I need wifi calling (not available on pinephone).

All the bitwarden apps Ive found are either hardcoded to use the official bitwarden (cant change to my personal server), or are terribly slow webapps. And then auto complete isn't an option.

I could absolutely make most of these things work, but inevitably i need to carry my other phone with me because of the camera. Which feels like the real deal breaker for me. The pinephone camera is great for documenting things and passing information, but its not really great for capturing memories and moments. My bitwarden experience is disappointing in the moment, but grainy, bad photos are disappointing in perpetuity.

Get me a quality camera and I would begrudgingly use a worse reddit app or the mobile site. But until then, I'm stuck.
The article is very nice, some great advice, and like others said it's not just relevant to Django.

One part I don't agree with is about frontend. Frameworks have stabilised quite a bit, pick React or Angular and you can expect support for years to come. I still maintain a 5+ year old React frontend with lots of logic, updating hasn't been an issue at all (codemods), since we moved it to CRA it has been even easier.

Things like formatting dates: you can wrap it in your own function then it takes a few minutes to swap the library, but you likely won't have to change it if you follow the tips in this article about dependencies, which are very good!

Anyway, great article, very good advice. I think it does a good job of explaining that you should think about why you do things and focus on what matters and makes a difference.
Don't conflate the desired political goal with the political source.

There's no reason states couldn't implement it if they wanted to. And some did.

Which is part of why it's such a power grab. The "universal" part of it goes against the entire concept of tiered / federated / rupublic type of government.

It's dogmatic. Politics has become religion, especially to the non-religous, and most don't realize it.

"Catholic" means "universal". We can't allow States to have their own laws, when they might not align with the Truth. Praise Science!
Agreed. Though in this case it seems to me OP is just providing an interesting tidbit. They didn't try to morph that fact into hand-waving of the vast difference in all other sports.

> If eyewitness accounts are not evidence

What a few people in the whole country say is necessarily credible and is evidence of a widespread trend? Wow. Do you know what you can find people saying, especially on the Internet?

It's surprising that people, especially on HN where evidence is commonplace, and especially in a discussion on propaganda, are so triggered by that. Note that almost nobody in this thread is discussing the facts of the original claim, they all are trying to change the subject to me.

What I read is, 'I'm so sure that I haven't even looked for or at evidence.' It's not a good sign.

Fact and reason are the difference between burning witches at the stake on one hand, and justice, fairness, truth, law, and science on the other.

Hynek Schlawack: Alternatives to Subclassing in Python
What's weird is that not long ago is popular to say "I disagree with everything you have to say, but I'd die for your right to say it". It's amazing how times have changed from that shared belief.

The videos you haven't seen are the ones that were never made because the wrong-view person was stopped from even giving their scheduled talk via "de-platforming".
Let's be clear here. The school board is a bunch of fucking muppets. Children swear. They express disappointment in poor ways. They're children. It's the schools job to know that and react with compassion and guidance, not removing a student from school for a year.

It's not clear to me that a school should have the ability to punish people at all for off campus actions, let alone that this punishment is proportional to the event.

This case is only about the schools ability to exercise arbitrary power over its students, and it was willing to take that to the supreme court-- something which is incredibly rare and expensive over something absolutely mundane and everyday.
Don't discount software optimization. For example, Apple has extensive software optimization that works hand in hand with their hardware optimizations to deliver battery life and control thermals. I'm sure Google does similar things for Android too.

There is more to having a successful mobile device than just dropping a formerly optimized for desktop OS on them.
