But on your other point, it is one thing to dispassionately note the behaviours of others, however this does not preclude having an opinion or forming a personal moral judgement on those behaviours.

I think it does preclude taking a very broad line though, and studying the constructs and how a culture fits together tends to make folks a lot less prone to advocacy. This doesn't mean that criticism of another culture is out of the question--- there is a lot of great cultural criticism that comes out of this. Examples that come readily to mind include criticisms of our (in the US) trust that Obstetrics is better than Midwifery (statistically, midwifery has better outcomes on the whole, and this is optimized when midwives are the primary care providers for all lower-risk pregnancies and childbirths), criticism of how the Morroccan henna first-marriage ceremonies entrench patriarchy, and more. But these are very detail-oriented criticisms which tend to address specific cultures, and look at them in ways which are very detail-oriented.

Even the anthropologists who have criticized things like female genital cutting in Sudan have tended to note carefully how it fits into culture, and tended to avoid the inflammatory activist rhetoric (and in many cases argued even more forcefully against being overly activist on the issue).

You will probably never see an anthropologist endorse a global campaign like this, because the sorts of thinking are very different.

So you are right, it doesn't preclude an opinion of the way a specific culture does things. But it does seem to preclude arguments based on natural rights.

BTW, great book on this topic, which over and over addresses questions of criticism of other cultures and its place in anthropology:

"Deeply Into the Bone: Re-Inventing Rites of Passage" by Ronald Grimes. To say it is inspired by van Gennep's classic anthropological work "The Rites of Passage" would be an understatement.

Edit: To the downvoters: One of the reasons why broad lines are usually avoided is that dynamics are rarely simple. For example, in Africa, you have long-standing patterns of European meddling in local cultures, and consequently large-scale activism from the West against female genital cutting more or less frames that practice as one of nationalist resistance.
Yes, but on the site, they make a clear distinction between parametrized queries with PDO and other types of input filtering. I misunderstood and thought you were referring specifically to the latter.

I think it's an integrated feature of at least some of the chipsets incorporating the Mali 400 GPU.

The tablet I got is a NatPC 009S. Also sold as Tabtronic and probably a bunch of other names. It's a nice little thing for it's price. As mentioned, where they've skimped the most is clearly the screen, which doesn't measure up favourably to mid/high end Android phones, and much less to the high end tablets.

Note that I've not tested 2160p output, though, as I don't have anything that can display it, and given the marketing copy on some of these sites who knows, but that's what they claim anyway.
That's what I meant. I just kind of articulated it poorly, my apologies.

This is an excellent introduction -- thanks for posting it :) I teach high school students programming as part of a summer camp and this is a perfect resource for students who are already further along and want another challenge. The introduction to assembly will help them in their later careers and 6502 assembly is likely less of a shock than any recent ASM.

There are some efficiencies that come with scale. For example, it's preferable to have very large utility companies with heavy regulation. I tend to agree that scale is unnecessary for investment banking. If an entity needs capital in bulk it can go public.
I sent Greenspun's article to one of my students last semester, after he expressed an interest in academic research. He reported that the article was incredibly discouraging, and he shifted his career plans back to medicine.

Pointing out the landmine in his career path was my most rewarding moment as a teacher in the last two years. I'm relieved that he won't waste seven years getting a Ph.D. like I did.
20 years - the world wide web was invented just 22 years ago. In 20 years the world could be completely different from today. How do you even try to predict being a billion dollar company in 20 years?
Melatonin is amazing and has changed my sleep patterns for the better, but 5mg is a pretty big dose. I take 750mcg tablets.
Some people oppose the redefinition of the word "marriage" to include unions other than a man and a woman. There's nothing homophobic about that.

Think of what it'd be like if Women were pressing for the redefinition of "men" to include women :/
I agree, and in addition, the probability of incest is much higher for heterosexuals than homosexuals since the probability of two homosexual family members is much much smaller.
In other words, when and if support for legalising incest arises, it will most likely be by heterosexuals, not the LGBT community.
This is not a particularly good argument. After all, the body also produces opiates naturally, but it's generally not a good idea to take them long term.

How small are your small doses? Melatonin is often sold in 5 mg tablets, but Dr. Andrew Weil [1] recommends 2.5 mg at bedtime as an occasional dose and a much lower dose, 0.25 to 0.3 mg, for regular use.

Ok, so suppose that you live in a state like Washington that:

1) Has extraordinarily strong freedom of religion protections (a city may not enact a blanket ban on churches hosting tent cities for example, according to our state supreme court) and

2) Very narrow anti-bigamy laws (IANAL, but I think the best reading of the statute is that it bans intentionally legally marrying more than one person at a time, or telling the other individual that you are going to be legally married when you are not. It could be read to ban purely religious marriages, but given #1 above, I don't think so. Note a few years ago a bigamy case was dismissed by the state Supreme Court because the jury had not been instructed that they had to find specific intent, and that the individual marrying someone else while his divorce was pending and the process was being drawn out might not have met that standard.)

Now suppose you are in a polygamous household which avoids the very narrow bigamy laws and suppose your religion endorses polygamy (it doesn't really matter whether this is polygyny, polyandry, or some combination).

Would you argue that there is an equal protection violation by only allowing one spouse of each partner access to these rights?
Which is why aircraft normally have multiple INS units. INS has been used as primary nav for endurance missions (>24hrs) in the US military for decades.

It's astounding that this author believes size alone is evidence of competitiveness. It completely ignores the ample evidence that very large firms achieve market and regulatory capture in a way that biases them towards anti-competitive behavior by establishing barriers to entry. They maximize revenue by denying their customers access to competitors.

There is no simple continuum. The sparse examples he mentions do not offer evidence of causal relationships.

But it also misses the biggest point: regulation needs to promote competitiveness. Size of firms isn't particularly significant if you get that right.
This reminds me of Google shutting down a lot of their APIs,starting charging for some or limiting usage with ridiculously low thresholds (1500 geocoder calls per day for example). Larry P. called this a consolidation and a re-focus...
OK. Thanks for the list.

I think there are two issues in this "same sex marriage" debate that are being confused by people on both sides. One is the special rights and privileges given to married couples, and the other is the actual word "marriage". What I was suggesting is that the government should drop the term "marriage" from their vocabulary and change it to something else, like "domestic partnership". I highly doubt that anyone employing rational thought would suggest we can do away with the concept of mutually exclusive partnership between two people in the legal realm. Part of what the people on the right are arguing for is to not have the actual term "marriage" redefined by the government. That word has a lot of tradition and meaning. If we turn the conversation towards removing that word from the government's laws and replacing it with something that has less specific meaning to people, then the conversation is purely about equal rights and not a fight over a word and the tradition behind it. I think that's more what people are getting at when they suggest that the government shouldn't be involved in marriage.
Got Milk? You Don’t Need It
If we're discussing whether it makes business sense, IMO you're only looking at the upside for Google.

Some employees of theirs are against Gay Marriage. Some contractors are against Gay Marriage. Some future employees are against Gay Marriage. Some potential business partners are against Gay Marriage. Some politicians, which Google is trying to lobby, will now no longer be receptive to them because their constituents are anti-Gay Marriage.

Is the overall effect positive or negative? I'm not sure. But try to separate the issue at hand from whether it is smart for Google to support it. Is it possible you're just rationalizing because you want them to support Gay Marriage?

P.S. An easy test to see if it's the issue itself clouding our judgement - what if Google had come out, say, against Medicare in the U.S., on the basis that it would be better for them in the long-term, and economists as a whole agree that it is better for the economy? What if they had come out on the other side of some issue that you care about. Would you still argue it makes business sense to do so?
For a probably-different point of view on this -

I'm a person of faith, who takes his faith seriously, and who's faith teaches that homosexual conduct is immoral. I think this puts me in a distinct minority among the HN community, but in a possible-majority among the American population (with the mainstream orthodoxy of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all teaching the same; and ~80+% of the U.S. self identifying as holding one of these faiths).

Given my faith, advocacy like this from Google, Apple, and other prominent tech companies really put me in a bind.

Their products have become such fixtures in my day to day life that I'm not sure how to get by without them, but by using their products and providing these companies with revenue, I feel like I'm contributing to a fund for someone to publicly proclaim: "You're faith is a sham; your God irrelevant; and, by the way, we think you are a vile, hateful, homophobic bigot".

I wish Apple, Google, etc. would all just focus on making insanely great products and not jump into the fray of divisive-by-definition social issues.

And, no, I'm not a "homophobe" or "bigot". I have friends who are gay; I don't hate them. I just think they engage in behavior that's immoral, just like others of my friends who sleep with each other outside of marriage, etc. I recognize my faith condemns such behavior - but I'd equally condemn anyone who insults, harasses, or otherwise harms someone just because that someone is gay.
But that's not "making sure" at all - you're still at the mercy of others. Just because you pay them doesn't mean they can't discontinue the product, for example.

Also, PayPal seems to have a horrid history of freezing accounts nilly-willy.. sure, their API might not go anywhere (as long as PayPal doesn't ;).. but what's the use when your access to it might go away any moment?

But redundant INS units protect against failure of LR gyros. They don't protect against the case where an extremely slow turn by the plan can induce drift in an LR gyro. In that case all your redundant systems will all drift together.

LR gyros are also limited by physics to a certain limit of precision, and this is the specific mechanism by which they can drift (from what I understand though building larger gyros might help). So flying for a long time.... I don't know to what extent we know how much drift might occur. It would certainly be possible to build in some checks here though since landing in Iran instead of Afghanistan would seem to show some discrepancy between the two systems.

I am just not sure you can be sure that relative position will be as accurate as absolute position over an extended period of airtime.
If sleep is that difficult, you may want to see a doctor. There are many reasons for insomnia, some more serious than others. Sleep apnea (difficulty breathing) is a common cause. Sleeping your back can aggravate breathing difficulties.

Small doses of melatonin and avoiding "screen time" (computer or TV) for an hour before bedtime can help, too.
I recommend reading Dr. Andrew Weil's recommends for insomnia:

This really is an interesting and faceted topic. There are certainly valid arguments to be made both ways, but from a personal perspective, I've grown to appreciate the idea of setting aggressive deadlines on creative work.

By nature, I've always been a perfectionist and tinkerer, and while there are benefits to that mentality, there are also severe drawbacks. The inability to start or finish projects being at the top of that list. I've found that setting (and sticking to) aggressive deadlines provides me with a focus and directive that I simply can't get from working any other way.

There is a liberating feeling in the idea of not coveting any single project or piece of work. This sounds counter-intuitive, but when you see each piece of work as a result of whatever constraints you're working within, rather than a cherished opus that will define your life for years to come, it releases a lot of pressure and allows you to focus. I think it's safe to say that a lot of artists wouldn't be where they are were it not for their willingness to experiment often and fail often.
No they're not. They're a method for ensuring that what is meant to go into some field in some database actually ends up there and does not start doing things it should not be doing.

OT, but how do you see downvotes on others' comments? I have adequate karma to up and down vote, but I only see my comments' scores.
I'm not trying to convince you, I guess you are beyond that, but for other people who think "maybe this person has a point":

The issue for most homosexual couple is not a semantic issue: to be allowed to have their relationship legalised by calling it "marriage", but to a legal issue: to be allowed to legalise their relationship for the reason that they want to have the same legal rights.

Here in Europe, in the countries which have the system, it is referred to as "civil partnership" and the LGBT community is happy with that despite it not being called "marriage". Actually, complaints about the system in the UK came from heterosexual couples who want want to have access to civil partnerships instead of marriage (ref: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-11625835).

An example to the rights that are in question is that health insurance in Germany is cheaper for couples who marry or who are civil partners than it is for two adults in a relationship not legally defined (i.e. two girlfriends, a girlfriend and a boyfriend, two boyfriends).

Finally, by linking homosexuality and incest, the poster tries to create a link between homosexuality which is now acceptable by most people to incest which is universally unaccepted and immoral. In western countries one is also legal and the other isn't.
I'm only 30, and I feel like I've made a million wrong turns. There are many people, who at my age, have already created their own billion-dollar company. However, I only work on what I believe in (aside from the mundane work I do to pay the bills), which I readily acknowledge is probably the worst route to traditional (i.e. monetary) success. There are many ways to flip a worthless company for a profit in the software world, but history does not remember people for their wealth, or even (temporary) fame. If I die poor and unknown, I still consider myself a success, because I spent my life doing things that I perceived as meaningful. Find interesting, unsolved problems (not necessarily in software), and pursue them to the end. You will remain a "late bloomer" so long as you live life passively.

Another factor unmentioned: in many countries costly employment/benefit regulations only come into force at 25 or 50 employees. Thus some firms hang below the threshold, even if (sans regulation) a somewhat larger scale would be beneficial. Here's a recent article that talks about the phenomenon in France:

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-05-03/why-france-h...

The US (federal and state/local) has similar thresholds, so I suspect Greece/Italy/Spain do too... and combined with the other low-trust/anti-competitive factors, such cost-jumps could be even more harmful there than elsewhere.

(For example: serving the large US domestic market, a firm might blow by the 50 employee threshold figuring they're on the way to 500 or 1000, at which point they'll be able to handle the added costs. If in a smaller country, where the top size a firm could reach is only 50-200 employees before other limits hit, maybe they'll just stay where it's simple/cheap in the first place.)

Weigh that against a critical bug appearing and having your app be useless for a week while awaiting an already-completed update.

At the same time, I understand your feelings about wanting to be in control of updates. (As a user, I'm even upset that Apple doesn't allow the user to roll back.) But when devs can count on every user being up to date, it enables them to push new features more quickly instead of having to write backwards compatibility, fallbacks, etc.

The question of who owns and controls code is a sticky one, and I'm not sure there's an ideal answer; to the extent that there is, I think it varies highly by the nature of the app.

A challenge to section 3 of DOMA has made it to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court may take it up and rule on it next term. Section 3 defines marriage for purposes of federal law.

Section 2 (specifying that the full faith and credit clause does not apply to same-sex marriage), which Law Prof Andrew Koppelman suggests is roughly as effective as a ban on hunting unicorns is not before the court and if Koppelman is right (and the section does nothing anyway), will never be before the court.

My prediction is that they will, and they will strike down this provision on the grounds that defining marriage has been a traditional role of state governments and that the federal government must defer to the states as to who is married and who can be married. They would then hold that there is no valid reason for the federal government to treat these differently. This decision is likely to be 7-1, 8-1, or 9-0 depending on whether Scalia dissents and whether Kagan recuses herself.

The result will be that it will fully revert to a state-by-state approach and that if you are in a state which recognizes same-sex marriage you can bring your same-sex spouse over, but if you are a resident of a state which does not, you may not.
