Congratulations. What is the status of workable compiler and standard library on ARM?
Heroin is presently illegal. Possession of heroin with intent to supply carries a prison sentence. Possession of heroin for personal use is a criminal offence.

Drug addicts take drugs. They're not deterred by the legal status of the drug. Heroin being illegal doesn't stop addicts taking heroin.

By making a drug hard to get illegally all you do is make a drug addict commit more crime to get it, or take more risks.

Heroin users inject contaminated drugs, using re-used (sometimes shared) needles, in dirty surroundings. This carries considerable risk of infection from diseases like hepatitis and HIV. It also carries significant risk of abscess or even amputation.

Heroin users need money to buy heroin. This money can come from sex working. Sex work is an unregulated semi-legal activity. There are risks of rape and assault. There are risks of sexually transmitted infections. People dislike the advertising associated with sex work. Because sex work is unregulated there are other vulnerable groups dragged into it - trafficked women, homeless people, and children.

Or the money comes from other crime - mugging, burglary, theft. And people spending all their cash on heroin will steal food.

Heroin's illegality means that its supply is controlled by criminal gangs. There is violence associated with these gangs.

Even the "nice" drugs - cannabis - have considerable problems from their illegal status. We can't do proper science because of the problems of getting and giving cannabis. Cannabis is sometimes grown by slaves trapped in grow-farms in houses. There are links between cannabis grow farms and housing benefit fraud in the UK.

Heroin being illegal makes it harder for people to look for or get help. We can't taper addicts down using heroin, so we use methadone. It's tricky to talk about how addictive a substance is, but some people feel that methadone is more addictive than heroin.

When heroin is too tightly controlled you just switch addicts to even worse drugs. See, for example, the Russian drug Krokodil. This is desomorphine, cooked from codeine-containing meds, but in dirty unclean situations. The high from desomorphine is intense but short-lived, so people cook and cook frequently. They're careless with the procedure. This means that they're using filthy needles to inject god-only knows what. An image search for "krokodil" returns many grisly horrific images. Addicts using krokodil live for about 3 years.
You're forgetting that they pressured her to do it. So, socially pressure someone into doing something sexually submissive = she's fair game to go further?

Yeah. That's sick.
Excellent stuff. That's the answer I was looking for.
JSON is a subset of JavaScript (a few bugs notwithstanding) so you must conform to it's spec and then JSON adds further restrictions on the language in it's spec.
You can download the entire thing as a PDF! That is frigging awesome!
You just can't span multiple monitors with a single window. I do like the improvements though. Moving the Dock to a different window by pulling the mouse below the bottom of the screen is taking some getting used to.
It would be great if we could limit the spin on HN. I had to go to the WSJ to get the fact that he bought the houses then leased them back. He got wind of a developer considering buying up nearby property, developing it then selling the location next to Zuckerberg as a "feature."

It might not change your mind about any irony, but it's certainly worth mentioning.
> She must have at least expected something, no?

No. A body shot is not an invitation for anything. A body shot taken from a girl with a boyfriend is not an invitation for anything. A body shot taken from a girl with a boyfriend, while hanging out in a bar with 'geeky guys' that just 'loosened up' is not an invitation for anything. If you think it is, you have a problem.

To answer your question again: no. Just no. No, no, no, NOOOOOOO!

I was talking about societal expectations earlier. I don't know what subculture you belong to, but it seems one that goes against the grain on this. And we have the law on our side.
Dynamic Power Management (3.11) and ASPM (3.10) support itself should make a huge difference for power consumption. Add in the various performance improvements in both the kernel driver and Mesa user land the FPS should be up quite a bit. (The Phoronix benchmarks say as much as 40% improvement.)
"it cannot allow drugs which are not useful for anything BUT self destruction."

You've stated the government's position exactly, and they can provide some helpful additions to your list of dangerous drugs.
See the whole "Bing rips off Google's results" thing. No less than Stephen Colbert fell for it and the truth never got as much publicity. People still believe Bing scrapes Google.

Interestingly, the whole thing was instigated by Vic Gundotra, who's ex-Microsoft...
>> But if you are looking to contribute to an open source project, consider some of these reasonably active projects

Anything I've ever needed any of the OpenOffice/LibreOffice tools to do have worked fine. I don't think it does anyone service to suggest to projects which keep the proprietary Microsoft Office suite alive.
But the patent fight was started by Microsoft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone_wars so Motorola are using them defensively.
Methamphetamine is useful for non-self-destructive activities, which is why it is legal by prescription. Medical methamphetamine is used to treat narcolepsy and ADHD. On top of that, pharmaceutical methamphetamine is much safer, even at recreational doses, than black market drugs because the production process is well regulated.
It does if the TOS says so and the TOS isn't in violation of the law!

I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around the uproar. If I've +1'd something or written a review I can't see the problem with that being used next to an ad. If I were an advertiser I'd be quite happy for +1s and socially relevant positive reviews to be displayed next to my ad because I know they'd increase click-thru rates, and possibly even conversion rates too.

Generally, I actually really like the idea of this. If I saw something that said ronaldx and 77 others +1'd this and I thought you had good taste, I'd probably be more likely to check it out. Conversely, if I thought your taste sucked I'd also be grateful to know that you liked it!

There's one hitch in this ride though: I have a Google Plus account but I don't use it and don't tell people about it, so I'm not going to be seeing these recommendations.
My preferred method of handling this is how Ruby does it with, e.g., File.open. The function yields the file handle and then closes it once the supplied block (think lambda function) ends. This is similar to what you refer to, but without the class. The class is useful for heap objects, of course.
But it doesn't do well with sentence disambiguation. And the summaries aren't particularly good.

This isn't even on Par with Summly which was pretty hacked together.

https://www.mashape.com/stremor

Creates MUCH better summaries ans comes with all the stuff to separate Content from the web template.

If you contact Stremor there is also a version that scores every sentence for importance on a scale of 0-100 and maintains HTML so that you can return summaries of any length and still have images and other styling maintained.

They(and other search engines) got docked by the FTC recently for making ads look like search results. It's an interesting read.

http://www.ftc.gov/os/2013/06/130625searchenginegenerallette...

"Indeed, a recent online survey by a search strategies company found that nearly half of searchers did not recognize top ads as
distinct from natural search results and said the background shading used to distinguish the ads
was white."

> Frankly I think they do just enough to distinguish what are ads and what are search results. The reason most visitors can't tell the difference is because they don't care to learn the difference and they are accustomed to get what they want when they click on the first result.

The contrast can vary depending on the monitor, lighting and age of the monitor and user.

>What do you reasonably expect them to do? Popup a message that says "this is an ad, are you sure you want to click on this link"?

They could add a border around the ad section and/or restore the colors they used a few years back. But that would cut into ad revenue and the new colors must have been carefully A/B tested to provide the most ad clicks.

This in turn forces sites among the top organic results to advertize, since competitors who advertize get more clicks because of the confusing layout of the ads.

> Maybe you are butt-hurt that your site is not ranked how you would have liked.

Please try to keep these kinds of personal attacks off HN(this goes to the other commenter bsullivan in this thread too).
> There could be ActiveX controls and such which can't be ported to Chrome/Firefox without money.

South Korea is a huge example of this. When online banking first came to market, the only way to do it legally in South Korea was through ActiveX controls embedded in Internet Explorer because they had specific encryption requirements in the 1990s versus what IE or other browsers supported natively.

Even as recent as last year [1] it was a big deal in elections, with at least one candidate promising to end the legal requirements and allow banks to enter the modern age of browsers.

Try reading. Here is the text you somehow entirely issued:

Following the shot:

- Joe began to start rubbing my back and kissing my forehead (let me say this is not uncommon behavior between me and men I consider close friends. I have a close relationship with a lot of my former EdgeCase coworkers)

- Joe then put his hands down the back of my pants, yes, I wear a thong and thus he began grabbing my ass.

- Joe then started kissing me, forcibly with his tongue. I was not reciprocating.

- Joe began to put his hand down the front of my pants and finger me. I was a deer in headlights staring into the eyes of the two male bartenders hoping someone would help me.
Will Iran Follow Sudan in Leaving the Internet?
I will not at all say MS Word is perfect, but I still haven’t seen a program that works better for me. Spelling and grammar is not what I am best at, and English is not my first language so I take the help I can get. I have used OpenOffice/LibreOffice and am using Google Docs, but none of them comes close to Word in helping with my spelling and grammar. I did type this comment in Word to get rid of the most obvious errors, and I do even type my master thesis in Word and copy the text to my latex editor for formatting. For me it was worth it to pay for Office instead of using any of the free alternatives.
I have, but on a 2008 it's a major surgery.
Gee, sure makes America's lame first world problems look, well, lame.
On the other hand, even when people are clueless about it being nonsense, it's hard to find politicians who are willing to support it.

Take, for example, the (successful) 2008 initiative to decriminalize marijuana in Massachusetts. Nearly every town in the state voted in favor of it, often by a wide margin (it won with 65% support statewide)[0].

Yet, my own then-congresswoman, a Democrat in a very safe district, couldn't be bothered to vocalize her support for it (in fact, in a response to an open letter from a constituent, she still clung to the ludicrous belief that marijuana contains no medicinal value, despite the copious evidence to the contrary included in that very letter).

Sadly, she's not alone in failing to represent her constituents' views on the issue of drug policy. For whatever reason, drug policy is the issue where the disparity between politicians' views and their constituents' views is the greatest and lasts the longest, far more so than any other issue I can think of.

He stuck his hand down the front of her pants and started fingering her. That is penetration. I don't see how you could interpret it differently.

He didn't exaggerate about him forcibly sticking his tongue down her throat. That's what she wrote. You clearly do have a reading comprehension problem!
I still have Word 2003 (and Excel 2003) installed on my PC, still very useful when I need it, and it is still my first choice when I need to prepare some serious documents, otherwise, I will use Google Docs. It is quite amazing as they are software written 10 years ago, providing all the features I need as of today.

In general, for office suite, I still can't find any opensource alternatives that can compare with these 10 years old software. Yes, they are proprietary, they are not open, blah blah blah, but when you have used other latest alternatives like LibreOffice (Mac), they even can't make the basic Cmd+F search work as expected [1], can you tolerate? This is the question you need to ask.

I used to complain sometimes about Outlook, until our corporation migrated to Notes!

Nowadays I would gladly have it back.
No matter how many times people bring up privacy issues or the "haha users are dumb fucks" quote in order to characterize Zuckerberg as evil, the fact remains that he has absurd amounts of money and power and is likely to remain that way for a very, very long time if medical science continues to advance in leaps and bounds.

It's his company, and he can do what he wants. Your opinions are insignificant to him. We as a society need to start learning how to deal with this, accept our place in the food chain, and obey those more fortunate. We created Zuckerberg ourselves by collectively choosing to use Facebook to regulate our social lives; we must now accept the consequences and embrace the loss of our rights.

Zuckerberg will forever win, and you will forever lose. He will own you for the entire duration of your life. You won't enjoy it, and neither will I, but it is a fact as immutable as the human condition itself.
Over the last couple of years I have migrated my workflow away from MS Office products (Word/Excel/VBA/PowerPoint) to LaTeX, R, Sweave/knitr.

These tools play well with git and make it easy to automate an analysis. I am a strong believer in literate programming - embedding the code in the documentation where feasible. There are case where it is not (long Monte Carlo simulations) but I can at least pull in the results and have the source code that generated them in version control and the report automatically uses the latest version.

Microsoft kept changing VBA and each release would break things. We had third party tools that had locked VBA modules and ours just wouldn't permit processing data in these workbooks.

I can extract all the data with R and am much happier. The Open Source community seems to better support their products than Microsoft. Go figure...
I stand corrected. My general point still holds, though.
1. It's not ALL Jews but rather Ashkenazi Jews who are so over-represented

2. Ashkenazi Jews come from Europe (they are basically descendents of Jewish men & Italian women) - this was just was just proven a few days ago [1].

3. Europe in the middle ages heavily discriminated against the Jews (mostly due to the Church). It manifested itself in a number of prohibitions on what Jews could and could not do.

4. These prohibitions put a large premium on intelligence. Then evolution took over - smart Jews were more successful and had more kids [1].

5. Until the late 20 century Jews had a very strong culture of marrying other Jews. So the smart Jews who had kids would only marry other Jews - thus raising intelligence with every generation (since it was not diluted by the larger gene pool of host countries)

6. This process went on for about a thousand years.

As a result, Ashkenazi population has the highest average IQ of any group (about 115 as mentioned in another comment). That in itself would not be a big deal - but that means that they have a DISPROPORTIONATELY large percent of people with really high IQ (2SD above the mean).

What I described is not controversial - it's pretty much current state of scientific thought on the issue.

Since I left MS a year ago, to join a small games company, I've used Microsoft Word only twice; both times, to make signs like

DANGER: ZERO GRAVITY AREA

for the doors of one of the server rooms here. In other words, we don't use Word.

We use Outlook a lot; I can't imagine not using it (there is quite a bit of email traffic, and Outlook is pretty good at scaling). I've also used Excel a fair amount to do analysis and "little database" work.

But Word, PowerPoint, Visio: Nada.
can you acknowledge that pearjuice opened with "voluntarily lied down on a bar" (as part of agreeing to someone drinking alcohol out of her navel), and not simply "go to a bar"?

that's some fox news level intellectual dishonesty
And the exploitation of poverty sustains it.
This.

lawnchair_larry says, "So this man, a drunk, sexual being, who was not holding someone against their will or being violent, kept testing his boundaries and not receiving any indication that he had crossed a line." The mere fact that Justine was a subordinate was already a line Joe crossed.

I would also argue that this subordinate relationship was akin to "holding someone against their will".
People react differently to difficult events.

Some children who are abused recover quickly. Others are messed up for many many years.

We agree so far.

But so what? Are you suggesting that she is wrong to feel so distraught? Or that society is doing something to encourage her to feel this distraught?

Because from I read I see a lot of society blaming her for what happened and telling her to get over it.

That's pretty nice. I've been waiting for Rust to stabilize before I bother learning it... It's been taking awhile, though. :-)
Right the term functional is just confusing. Temporal database theory is relatively mature and even part of the SQL standard for which IBM implements in DB2.

Any database that uses a append only log can potentially be temporal so long as it retains the log and exposes the information in the log (which most don't).

Even say PostgreSQL uses a form short term temporal querying in order to provide MVCC, to bad they haven't taken it further to allow fully temporal standards.
That's where version control helps. Save and commit frequently. It is much easier to go back to just before the problem and insert smaller chunks. Found many an error this way. Selective cutting of sections and stashing them in a text editor works as well.
Is there a difference in battery life? The CPUs all rate the same maximum wattage (it's the same chip after all!) and CPUs are pretty good about not using power when idle.
> Type a few word, hit "Save", and automatically get reasonable default fonts and margins? Check. Type a few more words, make some typos, have them fixed automatically? Check. Certain words need to be italicized or underlined? Check. Certain words need to be in a different font? Check. Who cares if it's consistent, the boss wants it bold so just make it bold. Indent the first line by X inches, double-space here, single-space there? Check. All accomplished with a few clicks of the mouse. No need to learn any command-line programs, formatting \Syn\{TaX}, or keyboard shortcuts. It's exactly what the majority of office workers need.

That's Abiword. A much smaller and cheaper piece of software.

That is all that most office workers need. So why is Office, a huge piece of software the default?
This should be sent to everyone designing a database for anything more than a quick prototype. I agree completely with your lifecycle :)
Since the birds can sleep with just one cerebral hemisphere dormant at a time, rest while gliding, eat and drink while airborne--and it is much safer in the air than on land, it actually makes more sense for the birds to remain aloft. It's just different than what we (can)do.
How to write dollars from pockets
This.

Completely agree. Also, we don't need to be very clear here - that's what sexual harassment laws are for. This isn't (only) a norm, this is a law, and although IANAL, it sounds like she has grounds to sue. Not only was the "wandering hands" inappropriate, pressuring her into doing a body shot was inappropriate as well.

The fact that the boss was drunk is a mitigating factor, not a grab-your-subordinates-ass-free card. I'm willing to assume he isn't a predator but a regular Joe who got drunk and made a mistake, but that doesn't absolve him of guilt.
Some people live their lives online, others don't.

I won't comment on how much benefit of the doubt he deserves, but whether he defends himself on the internet or not should be totally irrelevant to that decision. 99.9% of us are by-standers who have no right to demand any justifications from any participants.
