Why do you suggest leaving this information with the government, again?
If one prints copy of "this same poem" and sells it or distribute if for free (and there is no free lunch) then one stole the printing rights that the author granted (for a sum of money or a regular paycheck) to the official printer (the one who has a contract with the author). Regarding books, ideas are more or less free, the materialization of that work of thought into our physical realm (be it dead pieces of cellulose or bits on magnetic support), however, is not.

Kant wrote a bit about it.
well that's why in good old America we've discovered how to innovate in the area of making free speech useless.

when you have a small but fervent religious population that takes any criticism as 'an attack on free speech' it marginalizes whatever the actual issue may be; when any issue can be trumped up to a philosophical issue instead of a pragmatic and factual one.
You are missing the point and flailing at straw men. I don't care about the female ratio (Neither I think does any one who downvoted the OP). I am not going to discuss the utility of the HR department, the issue here is that they are human beings whom no one has the right to reduce as being mere eye-candy (which is particularly freaking sexist).
Expressing concern for childrens' safety activates the "child-in-danger = I'd-better-do-something" reflex that evolution's built into us.

Therefore, politicians, marketers, and other "spin" people who want to build support for a certain agenda will say "We need to do this to protect your children." Because it works -- it convinces people emotionally, if their reasoning capability is poorly developed or not engaged.

Most people are statistically illiterate; they don't understand probability. And our intuitions about this sort of thing were evolved when news spread by word-of-mouth; they do very poorly in an age where everybody hears about very rare events thanks to worldwide radio, TV and Internet coverage. Bruce Schneier has a very insightful essay on this topic [1].

Really interesting game! I love the concept. It's simple, yet challenging. I am finding it quite hard, which is good.

I couldn't figure out level 5, and here is my level six at the moment http://i.imgur.com/vvZOX.png bit of tweaking and I'll have it
In Japan, when it happens, the new clerk usually goes in person fetch a few first-in-line people from other lines to make the new one. That goes along the parent's point of "you don't have to think about it, someone will do the fair thing for you".
Reading the threads on this page the comments appear genuinely interested in this tech, and related themes. Asking intelligent questions Etc.

In fact, the only awkward thread, which seems a little sexist is this one... Food for thought.
So content creators should be happy that their content is being distributed online for free against their will, just as long as the author attributition is still intact?
I think you need to turn your front end code into Rails erb templates. Yeoman might be too large of a tool to use, it seems to replicate some of what Rails provides. Try and extract just the html/css/javascript and then move that over to the views section of your Rails app?
There is a point at which accepting death is the only sane choice. When hope is gone, further treatment is pointless waste and needless suffering.

The people who are present and responsible have made their decision. That is hard enough on its own; second-guessing them is incredibly insensitive. If you want to help, respect them and their choices.
I cannot fathom how the author takes the side of the employers at the end of this article. So workers should reduce their expectations so that certain manufacturers can succeed while paying them below-expected rates? Does the author legitimately expect individual workers to look out for the country's employment best interests above their own?

The candidates smart enough to realize that they could earn 2x-5x as much after college won't take these jobs, and most of the people who can't earn those wages elsewhere aren't qualified to do these jobs.
I have no problem with articles on sex appearing on HN-I assume most of us are adults-but it's disappointing that there aren't similar topics for men. I'm not sure whether it's because male sexuality is narrower (yet, strangely, far more accepted if it's accepted at all) or because an article on female sexuality is more popular among the (presumably) male-dominated site.

Anyway, this is the first article of it's kind I've ever seen on HN, so I'm not too worried. I haven't seen anything remotely approaching the misogyny that feels absolutely rampant on the rest of the internet (e.g. Reddit) that drove me here.

In any case, more directly addressing your comment, I think it's a great question to ask- gender and sex differences in society are always interesting/potentially fruitful discussion topics, IMHO.
It's interesting to note that to prevent this behaviour in such crowded events, they still organize the overnight groups in lines, and they are usually allowed to enter the premises only AFTER a few thousand of the ones who respected the rules have done so. So it's really a matter of hiding well enough from the staff until the "legal" hour of lining and find the first "real" line, if you want to go in first.
This article is bullshit and your comments are offensive ignorant bullshit. You threaten to blow up an international airport on Twitter in the US, even as a joke, and see how well your authorities respond to it! See if your First Amendment rights count for anything when essentially threatening an act of terrorism. I'm not saying that the British response was the right one - I signed the petition to drop the case as it was preposterous - but to pretend that the US would act any differently is ludicrous, First Amendment rights or otherwise.

Yours is a country that wanted to extradite a man with Aspergers to potentially face capital charges for 'espionage' (hacking NASA looking for information about aliens) out of spite because they were made to look foolish by him.

Listen my friend, pontificate when you are pure. Don't make assumption about things based on 'articles' written by hacks with a blatant political agenda that you don't fully understand, lest you end up looking like you do - a sanctimonious prat. Yes ad hominem, because this once it's warranted.
I signed up out of curiosity, but it doesn't look like there's an option to not test yet.

I'm building a product, not a startup exactly and so I need to organise some useful data to be in the test environment before they use it.
I can imagine that for a company with a runway measured in months, immediate skills might be more important than for a well established company.
I am really happy if you think all of this is common sense. In fact a lot of software best practices are common sense but they do not necessarily consistent with each other. Even in life, "Always help others" and "Set your goals and run for them" are common sense but they will make a different person out of you. There comes a time when you are at a fork and need to make a decision and then it is down to which one is really what you believe in.

Decision to separate domains of client and server is a big one and has its implications. CSDS is common sense as is HATEOAS but they are not consistent. ROCA is also common sense but does not agree with CSDS.
When you have services like Intermedia.net doing a lot of the heavy lifting for you, it's insanely easy to sell mail as a service. I will say though, Intermedia is a LITTLE trigger happy with their routing security; one of our PC's had a malware infection, already quarantined and was pending removal. Our entire IP range was banned until it got cleaned up, and the machine itself was a DMZ'd test machine that we purposely infect regularly for "war games" etc, so it had no email clients, didn't even send any messages.
Perhaps I'm the wrong subject as I don't use AirBnB, but the idea of FlightCar frightens me. Far too much risk to take on for either side with little reward in terms of cost savings. And frankly, I imagine that the paperwork and coordination would create even more hassle than that of a typical rental car company.
> I am not going to discuss the utility of the HR department, the issue here is that they are human beings whom no one has the right to reduce as being mere eye-candy

this attitude, to me, is unbelievable. Of course they are human beings. What else would they be?

If you're going to make a claim about HR, make it on its merits. I have said they're nothing but a bunch of good looking girls. They have zero understanding about any of the roles they're hiring for, and no incentive to learn. Care to contradict me?
The woman who is allergic to modern technology
printf("%a\n", f) may also be of interest. %a is C99-only so you need a relatively modern C library to use it, but it prints an exact hexadecimal representation of a floating-point number if that's possible on your system.
> Johns tale grows more epic every day and I am really looking forward to the comic/graphic novel.

I sure isn't boring but I would not call it epic.

> McAfee is a true adventurer and I hope the injustice of his ordeal is broug to light.

Have you already been able to make up your mind about him being guilty or innocent? I find that with every new twist that gets harder rather than easier, and in part that is because of the numerous inconsistencies in his tales. It won't be long and McAfee will be painting himself as an anti-corruption crusader in Belize at this rate.
To be fair, in CNC milling, it is actually possible and common to design your part in a CAD software, and then have the software write the actual instructions for the machine. But of course this still requires a lot of technical knowledge.

In a way it's only as "meta" as it is to have a compiler generate your assembler code.
It is surprising to me just how many devices shipped today do. Quite why they do it I don't understand since I never see it mentioned in feature lists.
Italy is in some respects not a "civilised euro country"; corruption is widespread even among lower-tier bureaucracy. Certain jobs in public service are desirable for the lack of work involved. Sources: corruption indices and a three month working-holiday in Abruzzo. I love Italy (and specifically Abruzzo) until I die, but some of its government/police structures are rotten to the core.
I think you mean product. The sum of two Gaussians isn't a Gaussian.
I don't think you understood what I was saying, and others replying to you are also off the mark, at least for the excerpt you quote.

LLVM is a compiler framework. Retargetability is a function of compilers, not languages. Most compilers are retargetable. A good sign is if a compiler generates code for more than 2, unrelated processors. Retargetability is just an engineering design. Most C, C++ compilers (in fact, most non-toy compilers maintained by more than a half a dozen people) are retargetable.

Think of retargetability is related to portability, but not same. A compiler can be non-portable but retargetable. Many compilers for small embedded processors target a huge number of processors, while themselves running on only x86 and Windows. That is called cross-compilation :-)
Not supporting freedom of speech has a lot of consequences, so I think a moral case could be made. Also, not everybody living in a particular country necessarily agrees with government actions. For starters, the UK citizens who went to jail for twittering probably don't agree with their government on this issue.
In this vein, I find it interesting to note that this article has been pegged at #1 for 12 hours now.
WpXtreme, Exclusive Interview with Nicola Ballotta (CEO)
I agree that when emergencies happen, we should rise to the occasion. But I think it's a business mistake to let emergencies become the new normal.

I have seen a number of shops that rely on last-minute rushes and big drama. Indeed, I've made some spectacular money from pulling their nuts out of the fire. But the main reason that they had to do something dramatic was the accumulated weight of all their poor decisions. It's as if their technical debt was held by a loan shark, showing up smacking them around just for fun.

It isn't the best product that always wins. But shipping a shitty product also doesn't guarantee winning either. All else equal, wasteful organizations lose out over time. That doesn't mean I'll never step away from the optimum path, but it does mean I'll only leave it when I think there's a strong business case for doing so.
Maybe this guy has just done way too much coke.

I never said he did.
LLVM IR is in SSA form (static single-assignment) THE most popular IR for compiler research of late. Pretty much a lingua franca; optimization techniques old and new have been adapted to work with SSA.
But nobody stoled anything. The author voluntarily sold a copy of the work, which the buyer then proceed to use as he pleased, including sharing it with others.

If the painter wants to control his painting, he has to give up on selling it, yet somehow authors of digital works get to control the stuff after they sold it.
I meant 'primarily on the JVM'
No, but we have to accept it, much like the painter has to accept seeing the buyer of his painting burn it down. After you sell it, it's no longer yours.
And those who can and do pull all nighters often don't have much insight into how productive they are actually being. I know I've been surprised in the past when getting folk to work fewer hours results in more getting done (see this previous comment for the story http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4781103 ).

I can and have pulled all nighters. I probably still can. It's just that I've learned that doing so, or spending more than about 30-35 hours a week coding, makes me slower - not faster - overall. Even, and I can't emphasise this point enough, if I feel completely fine doing those extra hours. People are really bad at introspecting on their own productivity.

Figure out some metrics for productivity. Try cutting the time spent in front of the keyboard for a few weeks. Measure. You may be surprised.
The left shift is probably due to the scroll bar appearing (since the save button makes the page slightly longer).
None of this is a breakthrough. This article was totally doing what every AI article has done since the term has existed. Claim that a statistical variance in a very specific field of research like oh say facial recognition or whatever means that AI itself has moved forward. It has not. Deep learning is not going anywhere. Its a false premise for algorythms that have trained neural nets better over a significant amount of time in fields that people care about. It is not a solution, it is not new technology. Molecular structures are pure math and computers do that pretty easily last time I checked.
> That's not the point.

Well, then maybe you should not have used those as examples to bolster your argument. As it is they don't hold water.

> The point is that, in 100 years, some of the things that you, me and most of our friends think today might turn out to have been terrible, shortsighted, bigoted groupthink mistakes that resulted in the oppression of millions of people.

So, please name some examples where free speech in the United States right now gives it the moral high ground on some subject, higher ground than that reached in countries without free speech by your definition, but otherwise functional democracies (i.e. a very large number of countries).

> We aren't doing it on purpose, of course.

Right now, in your country there are lots of groups actively promoting hatred behind the fig-leaf of free speech, and there are a lot of issues that are not being resolved with people purposely obstructing others in spite of free speech. The correlation between 'free speech' meaningful progress on any of these fronts is not visible to me as an outsider.

> It's hard to do that if it's illegal to talk about different ideas, or say that we might be headed in the wrong direction.

There are a large number of countries that do not have American style 'free speech' where talking about different ideas or saying that you're headed in the wrong direction is not illegal.

> And if it turns out that, despite our best efforts, we can't see the truth which will eventually emerge -- then we shouldn't compound the evils caused by our wrongheaded beliefs by using the power of the state to silence our critics.

There are more options than Iran, North Korea and The United States. Many of those options are perfectly workable and produce societies that are morally speaking the equivalent or the superior of the United States.

Feel free to lecture the rest of us on how well Free Speech works when you have your house in order, until then it is just one more factor in a very large number of factors. It is a positive factor, but when you fail on so many other fronts that its effect fades into insignificance you might as well not have it.
So how does this work? Does hnbutton.appspot.com do some clever proxying, or something? Or does HN just have a very easily exploitable XSRF vulnerability?
If an Entrepreneur can't pay for the resources needed to build/ensure a product/service at their market prices, he should and eventually will, close business.

There is nothing wrong with that. That is the economical system in the works.

If no one is willing to pay for his product/service at the price he needs to charge, it is because either people do not need it, or they can get it cheaper somewhere else. In business, if you can't compete, you shouldn't.

In this specific case, these jobs are getting oursourced to china or replaced by machines. This is wonderful. Not for infimal number of people that lose their jobs, but to the huge number of people who will be able to afford that product/service cheaper.

I can't set up an ice-cream kiosk in antartica and whine about how business is hard and what will be of the antartica ice-cream industry.
All Apple's laptops have for quite a while, however with the iPhone they still didn't have 5 Ghz on the 4s and only added it on the 5 - not that Apple let you run a WiFi analyzer on it anyway.
I think it is because her philosophy is naive in that it only considers the economic angle, and extremist in that by doing this, it takes market-thinking to it's brutal extreme.

The market, and the self-care that drives it, are wonderful mechanisms, and have brought great wealth. But (stating the obvious) humans need more than being able to buy and sell at will. They need health-care, education, welfare, etc (even if their parents / family happens to be poor). There are other factors than market-fairness that a civilized society should take into account. Not doing so is economism. And almost every one of us probably knows someone who would have been left to rot/die by Rand'ists if they had it their way.

So I would not say it is (just) hate that makes people stop listening when Rand comes up. But rather a kind of (not very laudable) impatience with naivite, that might be familiar to anyone who ever did any teaching, or for example tried to guide a novice elderly person through using a computer.
Solving the problem of how people pay for on line goods and services in a cash society would be a huge winner.

Why do you see your business as confined to Algeria?

There are a great number of people from Algerian families living in France and a lot of French people spend time in Algeria. Can you identify problems either group might have that can be solved by an on-line application? This target customer group will all have credit and debit cards.
The Internet hates programming
I don't mean to brag. It really bothers me I come in to the office just before the daily standup, work for 6 hours and leave before anyone else. (I usually spend an hour or two doing non-programming tasks each day)

I don't think you should be bothered... I've seen the 'about six hours' of productive coding figure come up multiple times when teams actually experiment with their hours worked and their productivity. I suspect that your co-workers would be more productive if they had the same work pattern you do.

I can definitely say "work smarter, not harder" is really effective for me. I don't know if it's true for everyone but I suspect it is.

I'm pretty darn sure of it myself. Every team I've worked on that's been doing more than 45 hours a week has got more productive by cutting hours worked.

Rather than staying up until 1am in an awe inspiring hacking session to get the latest release running, I'd much rather people went home at 5pm so they were on the ball enough not to write the damn bugs in the first place.
You could - and should - definitely make a case that free speech is a good thing to have. But there are many other things that are good things to have and free speech is not going to help you one bit if you do what these twitter users did.

It's that old adage about yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theater. It's technically possible for you to do so, and likely you'll suffer the consequences afterwards if you are positively identified. For an encore try shouting 'bomb!' at JFK airport. There is nothing strawmannish about this, that's exactly the sort of thing these twitter users were doing. When you're active on a public medium you have to stand up for the consequences of your actions, that has nothing to do with free (political) speech.

"to use violence to keep your fellow citizens or subjects from saying original but forbidden things"

Imagine the scenario. A man is standing outside a gay bar shouting "I hate all you shit-stabbers, I'm going to kill you all" over and over.

My initial thought isn't "I'm so glad we don't infringe on his originality. I sure do hope that the police don't throw him in a cell overnight for a few hours until he's calmed down."

I'm not saying freedom of speech is bad, I'm saying that the moral intuition that someone being offensive with a plausible threat of violence isn't deserving of protection as free speech is quite a reasonable one.
This was solved in India by many many online vendors by using Cash on Delivery. CoD was a remnant of the days of telemarketing because Indians didn't possess credit cards/debit cards.

Now most Indians who order online do have credit cards but Cash on delivery still exists for orders that aren't very large. Not sure of how the system works under the hood but I guess vendors have tie ups with courier companies.

Nest Thermostat Review 2nd Generation
Something I would like the programming world to discuss is that it isn't the best coded product that wins - technical quality rarely matters. Usually, the first product to market wins, or the programmer who kicks out the most features as long as the features works

1) The first product to market often doesn't win. In fact I'm hard pushed to think of many examples of that being true ;-)

2) Even taking that as true - I'm not sure I follow the argument. Working longer hours != shipping earlier. If you are working past the point of optimal productivity then, in anything but the very short term, you are slowing yourself down.

I've seen multiple teams ship faster by working fewer hours. I know others have too. I find it freakishly bizarre that folk don't measure their productivity and optimise for going faster rather than working longer.
