I took your advice. On a related note, does anybody know how organizations promoting certain legislation decide between emphasizing calling and e-mailing? Usually I've been asked to send an email, but sometimes the same organizations that normally use that strategy ask for phone calls specifically.
I look forward to similar documentation of all the other HTTP response codes.
What I really should have asked: Does the provision that allows you to "circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to works" allow you to circumvent network and data center security measures? I'd expect not, but I don't see where the bill draws a line between devices (phones, game consoles, dvds) and other types of information stores.
Yup, instead of you finding jobs, jobs finds you. Which totally changes the leverage to favor you.
If you're doing business there, you do. If you're not, then let their firewall or whatever deal with it, but I doubt that's Google's situation.

Too funny.
I am confident that any company capable of paying $1B dollars for them will cut it immediately. If that's the core value of the product, it either won't get bought or won't survive getting bought.
> Certainly. But you are not mentioning the other elephant in the room: Dutch is a free word order language and also permits very liberal ordering in the middle field. The rule-based grammar may benefit from the detailed constraints in the lexical attribute-value structures.

Mostly I didn't want to stick my neck out :p. It's easy to say something untrue about a language you don't know and haven't worked with.

I'd also be reluctant to assume which mechanisms were making a difference, because it's so hard to guess what cases are frequent and not easily inferred by a statistical model. One thing we can know is that the transition based parsers are best at producing projective dependency trees. The various techniques for non-projective shift-reduce parsing aren't very good.

Don't get me wrong --- I totally think the suggestion you offered makes sense, and it's a likely explanation. It's just that this stuff all very tricky.
Congratulations to all! May the force be with you! ;)
Part one's claim that using the 'new' keyword is somehow implicitly bad needs more to back it up than Douglas Crockford saying so. Douglas Crockford's opinions are just opinions. Is it slower in certain JS runtimes? Harder to read? Less maintainable?

Anyway, re: part 2

You shouldn't encourage the use of 'value || defaultValue' without clearly, explicitly pointing out that this will prevent the use of falsy values as argument values - including 0, false, and an empty string... all values people actually want to use in some cases. It seems inexcusable to me that you would write:

"Based on the false-y rules we learned earlier, if we want to check if a variable is undefined, not null, and has a value then all we need to do is check the object itself."

Immediately after explaining how null and undefined are not the only falsy values in JS.

Anyway, otherwise it looks like you're sharing some good advice for newbies.

Cython is a compiler not an interpreter. Numba requires explicit hinting and can only optimize some undefined (?) subset of Python.

PyPy on the other hand is simply a fast Python interpreter. Not sure what you mean regarding the type information gathered by the JIT.

You need a new TV to live?

All of us are born incredibly dependent on others. After a long period of investment, we can function on our own. (Well, if by "on our own" you mean "without being directly dependent, but requiring a rich and complicated society where other people take care of most things for us".) Most of us choose to pay that forward by contributing to the maintenance of society and the species.

If you don't want to, godspeed. There is no law preventing you from being a selfish ingrate. You are allowed to opt out at any time and move to a country that is less interested in, say establishing justice, promoting the general welfare, or securing the blessings of liberty for the citizenry current and future.

For example, I hear that the tax rates in Somalia are very reasonable. Do start a blog! And maybe we can start a pool on how long you'll last in a place where helping others to survive is seen as optional as having a new TV.

Social Networks Need a Smart Content Organizer
Not according to the fine article.

The 'Tiger' category emerged from a clustering analysis of parenting styles, and was defined by high scores on both positive ("Warmth, reasoning, monitoring, and democratic parenting") and negative ("hostility, psychological control, shaming, and punitive measures") dimensions.

The claim is that even when they show lots of warmth and positive parenting, parents who are also hostile and shaming, have kids who do just as poorly as the kids of very harsh, unsupportive parents.
Would there be a problem with just calling it something else other than science then? I don't see the need to bend definitions of words to account for inconvenient circumstances. I am a programmer and do hard stuff, I don't require people to call me a scientist. Mathematicians do hard stuff, they don't complain that they're not called scientists. Engineers, too, are not scientists. It's not pejorative, just a statement of fact. If what you say is correct, then what is the issue with just saying astronomy is not a scientific field?

Now regarding knowing friend's salaries; From personal experience I can now say that it is not a good thing. I come from a culture where salary is not well kept secret and you usually know your friend's. This leads to a constant state of discontent unless a] You are on the top b] you are the type of person that can factor in intangibles well (hint: most people are not).

Human rights for Chimps. Definitely no. If you give them rights, you need to make sure they abide by the same laws that humans abide by. If one 'tells' a chimp to steal something, will the human be punished? He could as well say, "I told him to jump off the cliff, but he didn't do that right? Why are you punishing me for this". I mean, I know this sounds ridiculous but humans have known to be clever to exploit every possible loop hole in wording or spirit of the law - case in point, the patent system.

Short forks happen all the time, it's a natural consequence of the finite speed of light. So long as any divergence is detected and resolved within the window of typical forks (e.g. <6 blocks) is mostly a non-issue.

The natural thing to accept is the history acceptable to most distinct makes of software (least common denominator) which would be the automatically successful one with no intervention at all if not for the extreme consolidation of hashing power on a couple overly large pools.

"Pfizer acquires Excaliard"
You can learn to make a "Hello World" program in almost any language within hours, but it will probably take a few months before you can write something useful without any outside help.

I started with C# and it took me about 5 months to feel like I could do anything worth while. I've picked up JavaScript and Python since. For me, working 40 - 50 hours per week on the language I was learning, it took about 2 years to feel like I could make something someone else would use.

My learning has slowed with time, as I imagine there's less to learn, but I never feel perfect. I hope I never do, because learning to program has been incredibly rewarding and fun. Once I get tired of a language or my learning slows too much, I find another to play with.
My post was, in context, not about the Internet, it was in response to your comment in reference to:

"most folks nowadays don't really read books or novels anymore, what with TV, movies, and the Internet."

Comparing reading a 3-4 paragraph article on HN (or elsewhere) as being the same as reading a book or novel, the "rest of my post" was an anology.

True, those people that don't read ebooks or longer articles propably were not reading books or novels to begin with, so it is a win for literacy, but its just as likely they just shifted to that because it's easier to read an article off their phone while shitting than turning the pages of a physical magazine.

So TLDR; Reading articles online isn't the same level of effort as reading a book, which your comment seemed to support.

I think our positions are clear. I just wanted to make one last comment.

> She probably doesn't have to pay US taxes if she's paying higher Chinese taxes. Anyways, she should file tax forms just to put $0 on that line.

I completely agree, but given the circumstances around her leaving, I'm rather certain that she's never coming back to the US. At this point, given US law, is it reasonable for her to start filing again? A quick check now suggests that it isn't - she should wait until she knows she wants to return to the US. I don't think the fines or other penalties gets any worse by waiting longer.

I'm not a fan of the Tiger Mother method of parenting, but the description of the incident hardly sounds like a breakdown. It describes Lulu when she was 4 years old, so it's more of a child's temper tantrum than a breakdown.
Satoshi's answer for this was that there should only be one implementation of the full node software.

He should have talked to a release engineer. There are always at least two implementations of a piece of software: the stable version, and the prerelease version.

With Herculean effort and focus one could theoretically arrange a system where every customer on Earth runs version N until midnight on Dec 31 and runs version N+1 one microsecond later. You would have to distribute the new code in advance. But it wouldn't ever be perfect, because networks get partitioned: someone's PC would be unplugged when the patch was pushed. And what's the rollback procedure when you push the unforeseen bug?
You can't put your fingers on head all the time to control. It's the most annoying thing.

As I commented when I shared the link kindly posted here among my Facebook friends, "Like most studies of child-rearing of this nature, it is correlational rather than experimental, subject to argument about definitions, and not yet replicated, but this is food for thought." So if we think about what this means, yes, parents should be affectionate toward their children rather than reserved. Parents should also be open to children pursuing THEIR OWN interests rather than the profile of interests reputedly best for getting into a famous college. Indeed, parents should be open to the possibility that a career in private industry in an occupation in which job applicants show what they can do through work-sample tests and being a "smart and gets things done" worker can be better for a young person than piling on lots of higher education degrees.

That said, letting Junior play video games all day (as contrasted with WRITING a few video games) is not good for Junior either. Maybe Junior won't report being depressed in that case until reaching his twenties and finding out he is unemployable at a living wage that allows independence from Mom and Dad. Maybe Junior, while growing up and having limited life experience, might benefit from some actual adult leadership and guidance. It is possible to do too little as well as too much in parenting.

(Basis of knowledge: I am the father in a "half-Asian" family, although oddly I am probably the "tiger-like" parent as a native-born American, while my Taiwanese wife is more easy-going. We have one child who has grown into independent adult life as a hacker and three younger children still living at home.)
Great topic. P-values are so easy to misinterpret, in fact, that I think the article makes the very error that it warns against:

>"If it’s under 5%, p < 0.05, we can be reasonably certain that our result probably implies a stacked coin."

By itself, a p-value is NOT enough to imply that the null hypothesis is false. In fact, if I flipped a regularly looking coin and saw 7 heads, I'd still be very confident that the coin is fair, because weighted coins are so rare. Later, the article correctly warns:

>P-value misconception #5: "1 − (p-value) is not the probability of the alternative hypothesis being true (see (1))."

P.S. I think the weasel words in the first quoted sentence, "reasonably certain" and "probably implies," show that the author is at least subconsciously aware of this logical error. :)
Today, the iPhone IS the Personal Computer. If that's not massive, category-changing, ecosystem-disrupting, change, then I don't know what is - especially since it reverberates across once-unrelated markets like GPS, photography, cartography, and...well, pretty much anything for which there's now an app.

Jesus, even the word "app" is new.
Of course I know that. That doesn't mean I can't be puzzled when someone walks down the street setting 2 $20 bills on fire.
I wonder if the magsafe (magdeadly?) socket has the same issue; it is probably weaker overall since you can hold an ipad up by its cover but can't come close to holding a macbook air by its plug.
Prior paragraph:

>But the cracks beneath the surface begin to show. [...] Lulu becomes rebellious, openly defying her teacher and her mother and bitterly complaining in public about her home life. By the age of 13, writes Chua, "[Lulu] wore a constant apathetic look on her face, and every other word out of her mouth was 'no' or 'I don't care'."

Looking back, I think I had a breakdown at 13, too.
There was enough space in the body for it, too:

Maybe this is why she didn't win first place? At any rate, if this finding holds up, this is a serious problem.

So I guess she's just up against really stiff competition.

Except people liked Tesla cars from day 1. People don't seem to like Facebook Home, even when it is free. It's not that they don't like Facbeook (the regular app and the Messenger app are both very popular), it's that they specifically don't like Facebook Home.

Interesting point. It seems you want to pay for the channel to just have access to it without even worrying about the shows on that channel. Is your habit to just turn it on and watch it in the background?

I guess the ideal solution for me would be to actually have shows unbundled entirely and then have 3rd parties create "channels" from them that can be tuned in whenever.

The user experience just needs to be such that all this is intuitive.

Ah, interesting. One thing that strikes me from reading biographies of people who lived in the past is how different the university system used to be. Of course, old universities were only for aristocratic men, but they also seemed to be a lot less industrialised than they are now.

Much more student/professor interaction (as opposed to now where a professor might lecture a classroom of a few hundred and leave all student interactions to a few overworked PhDs), more academic freedom and less need to cram for exams (even if the exams were tougher, people didn't need to beat the bell curve in the hope of a job at MckGoldmanDeloitte, freeing them to pursue knowledge for the sake of it if so inclined). I'm told Oxford and Cambridge still preserve some aspects of the old system, I don't know about other countries. The current system definitely slows down the smartest people unnecessarily, as the Thiel program has shown.

I imagine there are many more leverage points in the current education system that could enable similar improvements.
Yeah. Just another Obama speech really. If I try I can picture him reading the order with emotion and moral righteousness.
