Starbucks has more competition across the straight in China, but not much. They are the only chain that opens "early" at 7AM, which is important if surface traffic gets bad at 7:30. Wifi is going downhill because of the Chinese government, but they seem to be backing away from the ridiculous "use your phone to login to wifi" access points.

Now if only they would give us real Chai Tea Lattes, life would be perfect.

Cool! I don't really know what the heck it does, but I like seeing weird examples of Python's other side.

I don't know much about the underworld of Python, but is this kind of stuff similar to what PyPy does?

I started working on a visualizer for Python's AST (example [0]). I think it would be really cool to blend a lot of the functions of the underbelly of Python to see what's really happening. An AST side by side with a bytecode interpretation of it (or something). I haven't done too much looking, but there doesn't seem to be as much information about the inner workings of Python, just uses of it.

Hmmm... it is on the top of HN (maybe again); whats the problem?
No: you hash the master password, locally, and use that hash as the value you provide the remote site.

Now, they should also hash the hash, so that should it be know, your account on that site and that site alone cannot be compromised. But your master password is safe.

One of the problems with a scheme such as this is sites with multiple subdomains that use the same account per user. I'm thinking of Stack Exchange and Slashdot, for example. So simply using the hostname to generate a hash won't quite work.

But either this or the PKI method would be vastly preferable to what exists today.

For myself: I've been generating unique, per-site passwords for the past decade or more, and saving those in an encrypted database. Multiple copies of that spread around to prevent loss of access in the event of any single system going down. But otherwise: secure.
> Got some proof that secondhand vapor causes harm?

Why is "harm" needed? If I am next to you I'm not interested in you forcing me to take drugs. I don't need to demonstrate harm, I just don't want you to send me drugs.

At least put a filter on the thing so no nicotine comes out of it (i.e. you breath both in and out of it, through the filter).
Completely agree, take a random topic generator for the plot, add some fear to death and other therapy topics, mix it all with some randomly annoying music, edit cutting randmly at the story and you have and instant clasic!!. You will have all those in need of mental Jigsaws chearing you as a gennious.
Blogbuster movies are unable to create any mental challenge, so "art" directors just overcompensate for those who need them.
For me art cinema ends being as annoying as comercial movies, just at the other end of the spectrum. There are always exceptions at both ends though.

You said you still smoke. Smokers have a terrible sense of smell. You would have to ask a non-smoker if the e-cigs smell.

If you wonder: They do. Not anywhere near as bad as a real cigarette, but they do smell.

Why does it assume that Collective Code Ownership = Anarchy?

It simply means that anybody CAN edit the code, not that everybody WILL DO everything. After all it's a matter of common sense: If I don't understand what's going on, I will not touch it (this address the slow delivery drawback).

All the other points against Collective Code Ownership seem a little empty as well: inconsistencies are not result of collective code ownership, but poor organization. Agile Programming != Anarchy

"until you see the many lives destroyed by drugs. from mothers abandoning their children, to ending up homeless and alone, to deaths and murders."

And we'd have a hella better handle on it it it were legal. Right now, I can drink myself to death; or get piss-end drunk and smack my partner around; or get piss-end drunk again, hit a ball game and start a fight in the stands - none of these actions would gain me 25 years in jail (though I'd be dead cause my partner would shoot me - and rightly so. :) ).

I can smoke cigarettes which has had one purpose - to addict me (oh and kill me in the process) but I can't smoke a joint in my own home without running a risk that some a-hole walking by will smell the pot and call the cops.

Utterly ridiculous.
"I'm not interested in you forcing me to take drugs."

You have got to be kidding me. Whatever amount of nicotine you are getting from secondhand vapor is TINY. You are not getting drugged. It has no psychoactive effects or addictive potential at that level.

Since that whole line of thinking is ridiculous, we consider harm. Being near cooking food, say your neighbors having a BBQ, exposes you to volatile N'-nitrosamines, similar to one of the groups of compounds shown to have some carcinogenic potential in smoking.

These types of things are not found in ecigs (or only in incredibly tiny amounts). There is no burning, carbon monoxide, etc. You are getting more harm from stuff like cleaning product fumes or other air pollution from cars/industry.

Look, I'm willing to believe that SQLAlchemy is the bad-assest ORM on the planet, but I'm not convinced I'll never need to circumvent it to get something done, and I'm free to consider that a problem (along with other commenters, it seems).

As I mentioned, I'm very happy using SQLAlchemy's lower level API. It's a helpful and elegant abstraction over queries and table definitions etc, and I've never needed to circumvent it yet. I'm also convinced that the delightfully flexible/powerful Mako is hands down the best templating library for Python. You, sir, Rock. But you come off as needlessly argumentative in this thread.

I completely disagree with you. Think how many lives he destroyed by hooking people to cocaine. I have a friend who became a cocaine addict by falling for a nice guy who turned out to be dealer. She's still struggling, but she'll never get last 10 years of her life back. Now, multiply that with 30+ people he was dealing to, and you get much more than 25 years. Punishment should be hard unless we want to see more and more people doing it. It's all about perceived risk and profit, after all and if risk is higher there would be less people doing it.
Docx is an open standard built on Open XML. It is not Propietary. There is no licesnse to build an editor that supports it, and it is well documented.

The author contends that this is Proprietary. If they got this very obvious thing wrong and it is one of their biggest points for why you shouldn't use Office 365 I think it is safe to say they didn't go in to this with an impartial view.
Where in Japan? I just got back from visiting Tokyo and Kyoto and there are loads of good places to drink coffee. In Tokyo a few of my favourites were Bear Pond Espresso, Omotesando Koffee, Maruyama Coffee but there are a multitude of great places.

In modern society it is implied, that person taking drugs is losing their free will and requires guardianship. Whether it is scientifically correct is a question.
That would make sense. Eigenfaces are notoriously bad about translation/rotation invariance.
However, the dealer is not wholly to blame for that. It's the person's choice to use the drugs in the first place, and, sometimes with help, you can quit.

A gun store is not blamed for someone dying at the hand of a gun they sold.
Availability varies quite a bit between countries. Take two adjacent European countries, Denmark and Germany. In Denmark, free wifi is ubiquitous, often without even a login needed. Coffee shops, restaurants, bars, libraries, trains, even city buses provide it. But in neighboring Germany, wifi is usually pay if available at all (and not cheap pay!), and the few places with free wifi will typically require you to get a code from the cashier when you purchase something.
You surely mean 1900s, right? Or 1890's?
Doesn't change the fact that the person, in most cases, had to make a choice to start taking the drugs.

It's not as if you wake up one day, and you're now instantly addicted to cocaine and are destroying your life. You had to make the choice to start using the drugs.

It is not inevitable that if your significant other deals drugs you will do drugs. Some would say that unless coercion of any kind was used, the user is fully responsible for their own actions.
Wow, thanks for the insight. I didn't realize things had changed so drastically in Sweden in the past decade.

So just statistically speaking, has the overall crime rate gone up drastically in Sweden throughout the past decade or is it more of a slight bump? Just wondering if it has gone up enough that the average person notices in their daily lives or if it's more of a news report/sound bite for politicians? I'm not an expert by any means on Sweden, but I always thought of it as having a progressive legal system and low crime rate.
"They use a completely arbitrary threshold of what is considered to not have considerable health risks."

No, this was done by researchers using established methods for assessing indoor air quality. It's pretty obvious that you are just a dishonest person, didn't crack open the research and just generally know nothing about this subject.

"The smell is disgusting, regardless of what the flavor is. The flavor is only there to try to mask the underlying smell, which is gross."

Nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerine and water are all basically odorless materials. The last 3 are ingredients in the types of fog machines used at concerts and also common food ingredients. You are either imagining things or lying.

>Your assumpions about nonsmokers liking the smell are pretty baseless.

Most people don't notice at all. I discretely but not secretly vape in restaurants/stores/etc. and have never once been told to stop doing it in over two years using ecigs. I have never once been told that someone was offended by the smell.
Is DOCX really an open standard? - http://brattahlid.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/is-docx-really-an...
"Clear and lucid" isn't a phrase I'd use, and when I haven't had a smoke for a while I generally don't really notice it - for me it's more about habits than physical withdrawal symptoms. The chemical thing that I love is the slight rush a cigarette brings if you haven't smoked in a while.

Cigarettes are obviously bad and a stupid thing to do, but there are people (including myself) who genuinely enjoy them, we aren't just addicted and using them to get back to level zero.

Yes, definitely. I noted as much yesterday in another comment.
With almost no independent studies being done on e-cigs and their impact on the environment around you almost none of the claims you just made can be substantiated as either true or shown to be false.

We need more reliable data.

In general e-cigs should be restricted until they're proven safe. Basically treated like any other kind of cigarette. It is clear from this thread and elsewhere that smokers have zero consideration for others.

Of course you don't want to pay more for a slower trip, but taxi drivers don't want to have their hourly profit reduced by being stuck in traffic.

At the end of the day, they could reduce the time cost so that going slower doesn't cost more, but they'd have to also raise the distance cost, so that drivers (and taxi companies) still make the same amount of money on average.

But combining them, the way it works now, makes the most sense, as when you use a taxi service you are paying for the technical costs of getting somewhere (fuel, etc.) and the cost of your driver's time, so why shouldn't it be calculated that way.
What!? No demoscene music in my <keygen> ?
Most of the existing evidence is produced by the e-cig industry. Hardly worth the paper it is written on.

As another poster said, we know that nicotine is harmful within its own right, so if e-cigs are throwing it out into the air in unknown quantities that is worrying.

I love how you cut off the sentence in order to mislead:

> While no epidemiological evidence supports that nicotine alone acts as a carcinogen in the formation of human cancer, research over the last decade has identified nicotine's carcinogenic potential in animal models and cell culture.

It then goes on to say:

> Nicotine has been noted to directly cause cancer through a number of different mechanisms such as the activation of MAP Kinases.[76] Indirectly, nicotine increases cholinergic signalling (and adrenergic signalling in the case of colon cancer[77]), thereby impeding apoptosis (programmed cell death), promoting tumor growth, and activating growth factors and cellular mitogenic factors such as 5-LOX, and EGF. Nicotine also promotes cancer growth by stimulating angiogenesis and neovascularization.[78][79] In one study, nicotine administered to mice with tumors caused increases in tumor size (twofold increase), metastasis (nine-fold increase), and tumor recurrence (threefold increase).

It isn't vegetable oil. Hydrocarbon oils would be dangerous to inhale potentially. This would be closer to ecigs than a regular hookah and hookah is safer than cigarettes because you are vaporizing versus burning. Still this is probably a bit mroe dangerous than ecigs because you still have burning coals.

They're an interesting one in terms of 'should you use them around non-smokers', as there's no statistics on exhaled contents of nicotine (that I've seen) so it's quite difficult to make a call in terms of second hand health risk. First hand health risk? It's your body so do what you want.

There's other issues, do they smell? Yes, some do, they have flavourings in that will impart a smell. However it's quite faint in a lot of cases, it bothers my girlfriend in the car but not at home. Is it anti-social? Depends on the social group you're in, I generally hang around with smokers (maybe there's some selection bias inherent in social groupings due to the smoking ban) and a couple of us have shifted to e-cigarettes (traditional style and vape style) and no one minds. I wouldn't use one in a restaurant but I would in a pub or nightclub.

Hopefully they'll avoid regulating them for a while, but there's rumblings of regulation on the horizon in the EU.

I don't think I agree completely with your second statement. You are comparing the drug dealer with the gun store, while in fact you should be comparing a drug store to a pharmacy, in the sense that both sell stuff that can be misused but has lots of other uses, and where both have a code they are expected to adhere to.

A drug dealer, on the other hand, has a business model based on addicting his customers to his product (unless there are dealers who advice their customers to stop buying and try and keep their addiction in line, as it is hurting them and their loved ones).

A better comparison, I think, would be a drug dealer and an arms dealer selling AK-47 on Irak.
