Google is helping anybody who Googles how to do something illegal break the law. Should we fine them as well? There are dozens if not hundreds of other web sites that let you advertise vacation rentals in Europe. Are they also receiving such ultimata? My qualms with the regulatory efforts underway in Europe re: Google, Amazon, AirBnb, Uber, etc. are that they do not seem to be driven by any sort of guiding principle other than protectionist aversion to American companies succeeding in the European marketplace. Protectionism isn't inherently bad but let's call a spade a spade.

HN is a forum run by PG, run for PG, run off PG. When my last account was ghost-banned I spent 2-3 hours looking for the comment which might have caused it (I hadn't submitted ever, only asked a few tech/productivity related questions a couple of time which, honestly, did poorly) but I really couldn't find it. Then I googled around and found out that that trend was like a fixture on HN. Initially I was pissed but then I convinced myself just to ignore it. But then I really find some nice articles on HN submitted by people from various fields. So I created another account for the occasional strictly casual comments I make. I thought it would be a waste of both their (mods') time and my time to request an unban or reconsideration. I have almost stopped down-voting, up-voting and open HN once or twice a day and cursorily check first 2 pages (click comments of any story I find interesting) and then close it.

I hope you didn't find my response off-topic.

Yours isn't an uncommon reaction, don't sweat it.

I remember being thoroughly confused by what I was reading back when I started learning Clojure, after years in C# and ruby. At first I thought no normal human being could understand just what the heck was happening amongst all of those parentheses, but eventually it became second nature. Now I've probably written a good 50KLOC in the language and to me it feels semantically dense, but nonetheless very readable.

I then remember switching to Haskell and thinking the same thing: "What the heck is this alien-speak mumbo-jumbo, how can anybody understand this gibberish?! Phooey!". Except this time I could actually remember myself saying the same exact thing 2 years earlier about Clojure and knew that if I just persevered, it'd eventually feel perfectly natural. It's been a few months, and it feels more natural now, even though admittedly Haskell has a lot more language constructs than the very basic lisp, so it takes a bit longer to build up that visual pattern recognition.
And this is an insinuation AFAIK.
The risk structure is different. When you make an investment in a company that turns out not to be successful, you wasted your money. If you persecute someone who would never have murdered anyone, you may have done great and irreversible harm an innocent man.

The rate at which it correctly classifies non-murderers is more important for this measure to be useful.
> Far more likely prospect - aren't "K-9 units" widely renowned for corrupt practice, in particular training the dog to react on command to enable illegal searches and the planting of evidence?

I don't see how this plays out. After all, it's not the dog who testifies at court either for a search warrant or at trial - it's the handler, who can lie about whether the dog alerted just as well as they can lie about whatever else would be sufficient to establish probable cause. If you're going to argue that the dog was cued, you might as well argue that the officer lied about the alert, which has nothing to do with dogs and everything to do with the police officer - he could just as easily have said that he smelled marijuana or that he saw contraband.
Thanks for this comment. I actually upvoted the parent out of emotion when I read it, for I personally would agree with almost everything it said.

However, when I read your comment, I realized that I don't know that many muslims personally (maybe 1-2) and I have never bothered to raise these topics with them to see how they would respond. So, it is not right for me to assume that they wouldn't criticize these events, especially given that there is a plethora of atheist ex-muslims online, which makes it credible(and to an extent obvious) that there are many more closeted atheists or otherwise liberals within the community, all of whom would prove the parent flat out wrong

"... no later than the opening of business on the banking
day following the sixtieth calendar day following the
settlement date of the original entry"

From my notes, quoted from the NACHA spec a few years back.

So, settlement date is the next day (mostly). + 60 days, then the next morning that banks are open. So, if 60 days is Thursday, Christmas Eve, then the next Monday morning is the cutoff.
Great usecase.

Currently any large Erlang/OTP production system uses a combination of Erlang for long-living servers and Python/Ruby scripts for the automation/deployment/scrapping/scripting. There are escripts, but they awkward to use.

With Elixir it's easy to do scripting and have much greater code reuse.

One of the authors of the paper is Dr. Kent Kiehl, who is famous for using a mobile fMRI to scan thousands of inmates in multiple prisons, including many psychopathic offenders.

His book on his research of psychopathy in prisons, "The Psychopath Whisperer", is excellent (despite a terrible name). Easily one of the best books on the topic. I want a sequel.

> I find it extremely difficult to avoid interacting with Google products

I think that's not what digitalengineer was talking about. He was saying you can't opt out of governments and violent or unfair law enforcement, whereas you can opt out of Google products. So the OC reminds us Google is pretty tame compared to govts.
In my limited experience (about 2 weeks) with elixir, that's really the only thing I'm having a hard time with. Problems you encounter (due to the fact that you're learning a New Thing...not any fault of the language itself) aren't super google-able, so there's a lot more struggling.

The documentation is pretty good though.

More than price, what really hindered Ada was lack of adoption by popular OS vendors and hardware requirements for the early compilers.

Back in the day everyone was paying for compilers, the prices were the normal ones for the target audience.

Rational Software first product was an advanced Ada Machine, providing an early 80's InteliJ experience. Which followed the same fate as all special purpose computers.

UNIX, mainframe and other enterprise OS vendors that eventually provided an Ada compiler, treated it as second class citizen in regard to their main systems programming language.

Home computers lacked the required hardware to implement a proprer Ada compiler.

A systems programming language really needs to be "the language" an OS vendor SDK requires, otherwise it becomes just another application language that can also go low level.

Besides Ada Core, there are a few embedded and real time OS vendors providing Ada compilers.

The way I'd be interested in seeing a high level introduction would be by having some snippets of code in C, and then their equivalents of Haskell. Then an explanation, if that's needed. Because otherwise I'm spending most the time trying to understand what the code examples you wrote actually do in English.
Wow, you should turn this into a tutorial on FPComplete or something. Maybe there could be an "explain" link under the Haskell example on the homepage and it link to a tutorial like this one.
You've almost completely misunderstood the distinction between "supply-side" economics - which focuses its concept of stimulus on monetary policy - and "demand-side" economics - which focuses its concept of stimulus on fiscal policy. The former kind of stimulus indeed gets you asset bubbles, like the one we're in right now. The latter gets you a healthier economy, but requires legislative approval by entire institutions currently controlled by the financial sector.

Your account isn't penalized.

The story you submitted didn't get any special moderation penalty. It got a mild automated penalty for being NSA-related (this has been in place for over a year) and then it got several user flags. By the time you complained about its rank dropping, it was already rising again. This is what happens when some users upvote an item while others flag it.

The HN guidelines say that most stories about politics are off-topic. The story you posted is pure politics. The thread immediately degenerated into accusing Muslims of being fifth columnists and rapists. That's the kind of thing that happens in pure political threads. (That one is particularly dismaying, though. If there is anything less desirable on Hacker News than religious flamewars, I can't think of what it might be.)

The HN guidelines emphasize that Hacker News is not all tech-related. Stories of intellectual substance are welcome on all subjects. A scholarly paper about brain research is plainly within this scope, even if it isn't a great scholarly paper about brain research.

The HN guidelines ask you not to post complaints about moderation to Hacker News itself, but instead to email hn@ycombinator.com, where we are happy to answer questions. We can't always reply immediately, but we do reply.
Wouldn't that refinement basically be identifying the tails as quite a bit fatter than you'd thought before? But in that case, the tails are probably substantially fatter for everyone, and so the numbers 538 is quoting may not be far from the "real" ones.

My reading of this 538 World Cup analysis is that the error bars are taken as being very large, and the relative numbers are mostly interesting as a means of comparing the impacts of various players and other factors in the model. Obviously there can still be major flaws in this method, chief among them being that the method tends to atomize the team's contributions. But that's not a horrible first pass, and still can yield some interesting insights.
Not one, and not "attacking." More pointing to reforms needed to at least all Abrahamic religions (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religions) which all have the same problems, and the leaders of them all should finally come together, issue common statement, officially disavow the bad parts (with the explanations!) and preserve the humane ones. Until then, the religious excuses for wars and violence will remain.

I'm also against attacking one.

"The largest Abrahamic religions in chronological order of founding are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

As of the early twenty-first century, it was estimated that 54% of the world's population (3.8 billion people) considered themselves adherents of the Abrahamic religions, about 30% of other religions, and 16% of no organized religion.[6][7]"
I don't understand. What's wrong with my original sentence?

About 1/2 are returning to college: (However, the fact that 1/2 of recipients of a very prestigious award (and the associated money/opportunity)).

No one is forcing them: (decided)

Presumably they made the choice by deciding it would benefit them to do so (because it keeps their options open, maybe, and maybe other reasons as well): (it was in their best interest to return to university).

I don't see the flaw is reasoning here. Help?
I think the factorial function is even nicer: everyone with basic high school math has seen it. It's even shorter.

Also, I think the example should not be a partial function ;).

I'm actually recoding my website right now with a webserver and framework I custom built in Haskell. Maybe I'll make some of my first posts on this topic in a more formal, less commenty manner.
When I was a med student in 2009, I did my surgery rotation at a community hospital outside of Boston. Each morning two students were responsible for copying down overnight vital signs from the EHR onto paper. The job took upwards of 45 minutes, and morning rounds were at 6am...

I didn't mind driving through icy Boston roads at five in the morning -- but I did mind the fact that I was doing a job that computers should be able to do far faster and more accurately.

The EHR was a terminal-based system, and I wound up routing traffic through a local proxy, analyzing the logs, and figuring out how the protocols worked. (I'm sure that reading about terminal emulators would have been more effective than reverse engineering them; I can only blame sleep deprivation.) I ultimately built a Python script to drive the terminal based on a list of medical record numbers, recording vital signs and slotting them into pre-formatted progress notes for printing. It even plotted sparklines for fever curves.

It worked. And the chief of surgery loved it. He wrote me a stellar evaluation that prominently mentioned my work with the computer system (I also did good clinical work and all).

Two months later when the medical school dean read my evaluation, I got a very angry phone call. She was horrified that I had "hacked" into the computer system and taken matters into my own hands. I tried my best to explain how the system worked, and why it wasn't a threat. But I didn't really get the message across.

The upshot, though: I realized just how broken healthcare information systems were -- and that I enjoyed working on solutions. After medical school I joined the research faculty at Boston Children's Hospital, where I'm working on open specs, tools, and standards that make it easier to integrate third-party health apps with clinical data and EHRs [1]. It's been an interesting ride -- and I've learned an incredible amount about health interoperability, politics, data, and security along the way.

Well, fixing them might be harder than you'd think without a front end rewrite. HN is built with tables, last time I looked...
How do you "get burnt" by parseInt without radix? Yes, I made that mistake before, too. But it's usually in a situation where you detect your error immediately. Then I add the radix, problem solved.

I don't know the libraries of other programming languages by heart either. I would be making lots of mistakes in other languages if I wouldn't look up the correct API all the time.
Haskell is still avoiding (success at all costs), the bracketing is very important. Haskell may seem like a slow to develop language and community at times, but this is because most users want to see well thought out solutions to problems, and if they have theoretical backgrounds showing that what they're doing is a good idea, even better.
Do you know the guys working on XTK [1]? They are also working out of Boston Children's Hospital. They have an awesome medical library for webGL based applications. If so, tell them I say hi!

Your story reminds me of my current struggle with a massive medical company in orthopedics and when I learned to never say the word hack again. I was brand new to medical working with WebGL to create a web based bone cutter app for surgeons. Marketing was behind this project idea and had to have it on the Ipad. I used ludei [2] to natively port it to Android and iOS support wasn't completely implemented when I presented to marketing. They demanded it be on the Ipad, I could promise if & when it would be available but suggested a possible 'hack' to get around the Ipad's webGL limitation. They flipped shit on the word hack and went bezerk. I feel your pain.

Google with its 60B cash - $500 per US household - can build its own internet. Given Apple's 140B, MS's 80B cash, etc... and the likes of China and Russia building their own "Internet continents" - the "Open Internet" is pretty much gone (tomorrow definitely). Instead we need to prepare to how to live and do business in that new environment or build a new one - crypto, Tor, mesh, satellites, etc...

I like the layout of final PDFs, well designed. I have a few suggestions.

1. After importing data from LinkedIN, it only picked up the current job. I expected it to import my previous jobs too.

2. My connections have endorsed me for ~35 tech buzzwords. When I include all of them, the buzzwords spill over to 9 pages with 1 buzzword per page.

3. If I keep Education or Employment section completely empty, then don't include that section in the PDF.

4. In the Employment section, it would be awesome if you could include a small description of the linked company.
Am I taking it from this comment that you think this particular law is crazy?

As a medical technician in a neuro department, I had to take an illegible referral to the neurologist who wrote it (luckily he was in-house). Even he couldn't read his own handwriting: "But I know the patient, and he needs...".
Very nice simulation you've got there! I also did a triple pendulum in JS a while ago. Quite a lot more than 100 lines of code, though. The equations of motion alone take up lots and again lots of space. (Imagine typing them in! I don't even dare to think about adding a fourth degree of freedom) http://users.jyu.fi/~samakapa/triplependulum/

My dynamics course teacher actually showed that the double pendulum can be linearized by some approximations (throwing out some negligible terms, small angle approximations etc.), and that way two modes of oscillation could be found: antisymmetric and symmetric oscillation. Just try with small initial angles with OP's script and you'll see.

That example does match some high level definitions of quicksort; "pick a pivot element (the first element of the list), split the rest of the list into elements less than and greater than or equal to the pivot, quicksort those recursively, then reassemble the lesser, pivot and then greater elements". But I do agree it's not quicksort as it's usually known with its in place sorting and O(1) extra storage.
not at all surprised that the first code sample is A) Cryptic as hell and B) Something I basically never need to do when developing an app

Chrome Remote Desktop operates very similarly to LogMeIn, GoToMyPC, etc, in that there's two components: a server, and a client. The server is installed as a standard application on the target machine, completely separate from Chrome. The client is implemented as a Chrome Extension, while competitors use things that don't work on Chromebooks (e.g. Java).

Signing into a target's Google Account won't give you full, unfettered access to their PCs that have the server explicitly installed on them; you must also have a PIN that must be entered before every remote desktop session.
Tablet sales will finally surpass PCs
I have a friend who's been a QA engineer at a couple of hospitals. At one hospital, he noted that the doctors would have their ward meeting half an hour before the nurses would have their ward meeting. One nurse would attend the doctors' meeting, and transfer the information. In order to prevent errors from occurring due to being given second-hand (or the 'transferer' not asking the right question for a patient), he suggested melding the two meetings, which were only half an hour apart. The doctors wouldn't move their meeting "because we consult in the morning", and the nurses wouldn't move theirs because "the doctors meeting happens at a scheduled break time". So errors keep on happening...

He had a few other glorious stories of the amazing politics that goes on in hospitals - sometimes it seems like a bloodsport.
Is this the closest we have to a Rosetta Stone for music though? Or what may the others be?
