Actually, the cost of addiction recovery for all drugs other than alcohol is small, literally to the point of insignificance in most cases, compared to the cost of alcohol abuse and addiction, and ridiculously small compared to the cost of the Drug War.

in other words, by any rational measure, it's a risk worth taking.
The safest speed to go is the flow of traffic. Sometimes that's 15-20 miles per hour over the speed limit. It's rare that cops ticket safe drivers for speeding, but it happens (IME, about once every 5 years). Tickets themselves weren't a big deal if you're a good driver who gets unlucky occasionally, until insurance got involved and started hiking up the prices. Depending on your state and insurance policy, a $100 speeding ticket can end up costing $1,000 or more.

"Police oppression" might be a bit farther than I'd go, because I rarely get speeding tickets. But the speed limits are under-posted and you can get a nasty insurance hit even while driving safely.
Too bad. I hope those will stop linking to Spanish news outlets (especially those who pushed for this) regardless. A few days of that and the law is history.

That comment is very much in need of some sort of citation. I find it extremely hard to believe that a significant portion of people pay taxes because of social pressure and convention rather than the fear of punishment.

A reasonable thought experiment is to imagine what would happen if the government convincingly announced that it would no longer perform any physical enforcement of any laws. I for one wouldn't immediately go out and murder or burgle anyone, because my reasons for not doing those things are firstly my ethical intuition that such an act is wrong and secondly the fact that people are likely to fight back. But you better believe that I would immediately disregard some laws, particularly ones prohibiting so-called victimless crimes.

I would make essentially the exact opposite argument as you. I think that most people believe that government is not primarily in power because of violence, I think they're wrong, and I think history (ancient to modern) makes it extremely clear that they're wrong.
Wow. I'd really appreciate it if you didn't condescend me by trying to explain my own wealth percentile, as if I'm completely oblivious to being showered in money (as you're implying), when I've simply made a remark about the average price of an item of clothing. That was quite an insulting comment to get through, and I hope you realize that even if you didn't intend it.

I'd also challenge your assertion that the majority of the HN audience is elite, as that's a bit of projection, but that's not a fight I'm prepared to get pulled into right now.

I've spent my entire life at just about every notch on the wealth spectrum short of having seven figures in the bank (and I came from stretching $10 for a family of three over two weeks), and I would consider myself upper middle class at this very moment, yet one constant for me has been the price for an average article of clothing even if the purchaser had to save up for it.

Hello
hi!
Can't recommend this book highly enough. Among other details, HN readers will appreciate that the global continer system represents packet switching in its original form.
Sure it is. It means there is a straightforward correlation with your brain activity and what you are seeing. It would be trivial to reverse it and find what features are relevant, or use machine learning to create a much better model.
Everyone involved in WW2 could do worse than research who funded Hitler, and why.

WW2 wouldn't have happened without that funding.
You're missing the point. The number of people who use marijuana even occasionally is much smaller than the number of people who drink alcohol and there is no society wide culture based on marijuana use. For example it's not generally accepted practice to toke up at a wedding or an office party.

This makes the practicalities of banning marijuana different to those of alcohol but is not necessarily a comment on the ethics of doing so.
I prefer Loadstar, it is newly released but it is pretty useful and simple:

I don't think he says we need smaller cities, just more narrow streets.

I did some Google reverse image search on the example photos in the blog post. Some are from places like Eguisheim (population 1,548) and Kufstein (population 17,497). But others are from Paris, Tokyo, Kyoto, and Quebec City.

That's a pretty strong opinion. Scala is statically typed, runs on the JVM, is Java compatible, is both object-oriented and functional, and is not verbose.

Care to elaborate why Scala is bound to attract only mediocre programmers?
I would expect that to be more constant when individuals are addressed. My interest was towards addressing men and women as a group, which - to some degree - would reflect the 'relevance' of the group for the given time in media.
No, mate. It's illegal because bible. Those are justifications. For example, you are far less likely to transmitted diseases by sucking cock, but under sodomy laws, it's a crime.
That's not quite how I meant to use the word feeling above; I'd characterise what you describe as sentiment. I suppose I might have used the term emotion rather than feeling.
> the one who is devoting their entire lives to their occupations is going to be a more desirable hire

Not true. The more productive and effective candidate is the more desirable hire.
You haven't explained why Google wouldn't know about PH/BP.

In Apple's implementation which I do know well the WiFi triangulation is enabled even at the coarsest resolution. Which is obvious since it is low cost. So if indeed there is one SSID/MAC in the area and it is coming from BP why would Google not know this ?
"The only thing you have to do to build a traditional city - an environment where people naturally want to walk - is to build Really Narrow Streets; "
Then pictures of several architectures of buildings are shown along very narrow streets, but nothing more than 4 stories high.

My first thought when I read this was, the narrow streets constricts the heights of the buildings possible because if the buildings are taller than a few stories, the windows will not get light and there will be lack of wind, fresh air and sense of openness. When every building has to be short, how can you meet the demand for housing? Perhaps I'm biased because I live in Jersey City, across from NYC with its own share of residential high rises. Where are you going to house all the people who cannot afford to have a place to stay, due to high cost of housing, due to low supply, due to short buildings?
Very interesting to see some data on this. I also have this feeling that at every iOS release the older devices get terribly slower. And Apple seems to make no efforts to change this, on the contrary, iOS7+ is filled with transparencies, bouncing effects and other gimmicks that add no utility but demand hardware, and now swift generates code so slow that new devices will have to be bought to be able to use the apps made with it. Just perfect for Apple.
I am talking about the campaign.
I'll be honest, I wasn't even aware dress shirts were sold at Walmart. Just my thinking on this is you're about average, and your comment seems to back that up. I don't think of J. Crew and Brooks Brothers as particularly "elite," but that might just be me.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Despite being 3+ hours, There isn't a single boring moment and Spike Lee and Denzel do a superb job at showing the transformation of Malcolm X. Now I have to go check out the autobiography.
But then Google would be a less valuable search engine. I guess they would sue and eat it in the meantime.
Are you the real Fred Durst (aka, Limp Bizkit)?

If so, I wouldn't doubt that you have a lot of friends addicted to marijuana.

In terms of a response to your post, I am less than 4 months away from turning 30 years old. All of my friends were "potheads" in high school (and college). Zero of them had their life destroyed by it. They are all productive, upstanding people. If anything, I think the fact that some of them were stigmatized so heavily by being potheads really set them back.

Now, this is just anecdotal and I may not represent a "representative sample". So that's just my experience.

Some antibiotics may cause problems. Quoting from http://www.drugs.com/cdi/amoxicillin.html :

> Amoxicillin may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use amoxicillin with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.

That said, I can find nothing similar for penicillin. Eg, it's not listed in the "impressive list of drugs [which] may cause vertigo or dizziness" at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3853661/ , though several other antibiotics are listed.

I wonder if this is also due to new major iOS versions being released at the same time as new iPhones, and these updates add more intensive features (e.g. apps open in the background) and are designed more with the most modern devices in mind.

I know that my 2011 iPad 2 started feeling much slower after installing iOS 7. (Though luckily I finally tried the "Reset all settings" trick and it made a big difference, which points to a bug.)
Physical effects could be used in combination with symbols.

The current trefoil is enough to warn the people of today, so that should continue to be used.

If knowledge of the trefoil is lost, however, the actual radiation would serve as a warning. Much smaller, but still dangerous quantities of waste could be stored around the world, with just enough of a barrier around it to remain confined while curious individuals exploring around it would contract radiation sickness, but survive for long enough to warn others about the danger and the associated trefoil symbol.

The main storage area should have much bigger versions of the trefoil, but not so big that a person would lose perspective and not know what they're looking at. The size should convey to anybody who knows the meaning of the symbol that this is serious business.

If the smaller quantities of waste are abundant and accessible enough, and the main storage area inaccessible enough, then it would be unlikely for anyone to come across the main storage area before learning the meaning of the symbol.
Emacs isn't really just a text editor though, it's a Lisp environment whose primary use is as a text editor. It's possible to do many other things in it, so much so that it's joked about as being an operating system in its own right.
Emacs is extremely good at text editing, but it's not just a text editor.

The gist of the argument is that Browserify can access more file extensions out of the box, whereas Webpack uses an external config file to define how special file extensions are to be processed.

The given scenario of loading a regular ".js" looks like it is in favour of Browserify, but that advantage quickly goes to Webpack as soon you change the extension to be jsx/sass/yml/myown. How those files will be loaded and processed is not up to the bundling tool - that should be delegated to single-purpose loader that convert whatever the content is into an app-compatible format. This is exactly what Webpack does by keeping the core minimal and outsourcing all content loading to mini-loader, including the loading of simple JS files. The Webpack approach is much closer to the linux goal of do-one-thing-really-well-and-play-well-with-others.

Edit:
The suggested "fragmentation" seems unlikely as Webpack does not enforce the change in the require() syntax. In practice, very few people would use that in the source files because using the overall config file is so much easier and more powerful - it is akin to having a makefile for the JS app.
Of course.

Compare the market caps of Walmart, J. Crew (which was recently purchased), Brooks Brothers (from a sane P/E ratio), Armani. Heck, try a TJ Max or similar (to avoid companies with major non-clothing businesses -- which, coincidentally, J. Crew does have).
I'm a bit skeptical of the idea that a person who devotes their entire life to their occupation is a more desirable employee than the one with a balanced life. Maybe if you were doing something completely rote, but who devotes their life to that anyways? To be a productive developer, you should also know how to:

Schedule and prioritize your work to align with business goals
Interact with non-technical users and domain experts and understand their problems and techniques
Work productively with and integrate your work with the work from related fields, like DBAs, designers, artists, etc
Work with a team of developers productively, including making your ideas heard without being intolerant or offensive

That's stuff you don't tend to get from doing side projects. Maybe if you turned a side project into a real business, or were a senior contributor on a large, long-lived open-source project, or something like that.

Come to think of it, I was more sympathetic to the article's idea at first, but writing this makes me reconsider whether just having passion for something that you have built is enough to base hiring decisions on.
It's incredible the answers non-technical people come up with to explain technical things. The reason RAGE takes more CPU/GPU power than Quake III is because it does more. Not because John Carmack wants your gaming PC to feel slow. The same is true of Apple when they ship a new app that does more.

Samsung is just a generic hardware vendor for Android PCs, like Dell. They don't create operating systems or apps.

It probably also has a psychological component. Just seeing a new generation gaming PC makes mine feel slow.
"Again, I realize that's probably not you, but given that these kinds of people exist, why would someone take a chance, especially considering how little work you've put into proving your intrinsic motivation?" I agree, people are shitty. For me, I can't fake passion. I got back from OSCON, met unbelievable engineers that were NOT white and male. So I will admit there is a motivation, I want to work with the best and still live in my hometown of Los Angeles.

"Thanks for accepting my knee jerk reaction; I expected you to (rightfully) take more offense from it."
You are welcome, while I don't have to agree with you, I still must give you the same respect you have given me.

"I don't think women in tech care for a tweet (it seems impersonal and empty to me), but I could be wrong. Having your twitter handle certainly allows people to gauge how serious you are on the whole about your views though, so I appreciate your openness with it." - Sorry but you are wrong. I met plenty of Women passionate about technology at OSCON last week that are looking for help. This isn't a publicity stunt, this is how I feel and I am going to fight for it using the help of the Open Source community.

"I'll submit a pull request to that end when I get a chance, thanks."
Please do! Make it your own. Just promote diversity that is all I am asking.

"You're clearly trying to crowdsource this, but you're not scaffolding enough. Like you said, you're not sitting on your ass wondering what you can do; so what are you doing?" - Answering every one of your questions ;)
I'd be careful with "jobs" since case appears to be ignored, so it's likely picking up references also to Steve Jobs (or anyone with that last name)
I like how you read an article whose point is that there's no sense in making up conspiracy theories, and infer from it support for a conspiracy theory.
If the symbols are the problem, why not discard them entirely and demonstrate the actual danger in increments? What if we create concentric rings of gradually lower levels of radiation around the site? The closer you approach, the more you notice the effects of radiation -- lack of bio-matter in the soil, radiation sickness, etc. Of course, it won't be a zero-casualty solution. A few people might become sick or die by the time they figure out the danger. But for a 10,000 period, (high probability * low exposure) seems better than (low probability * catastrophic exposure).
As an obvious counterpoint: I'm pushing 40, have known dozens of people who have smoked every day since their teens. I've noticed absolutely no difference between their success rates and the success rates of others. Many of them are highly successful and productive, and some even blame much of their success on their pot smoking. The people that I saw fall apart were the alcoholics, junkies, and cokeheads, going between jail, rehab, and prison - and often coffins.

I think that you yourself will be surprised when it's more accepted by law - you'll find that many people you know and respect smoke, and they keep it from you because they're afraid of your judgment.

edit: There's actually one difference that I've noticed between my pot smoking and non pot smoking friends - the smokers tend to be small business owners, contractors and freelancers more often than the non-smokers, who are more wage-laborers. I don't have a theory about it, but I've noticed.
Because in this instance, the argument/discussion is about the phone specifically, not Google Maps. When my phone is on stand-by, like when I'm driving and not using the GPS, the phone will rely on less battery-taxing things like triangulation, Wi-Fi AP's that Google knows (MAC/SSID ?). Google Maps would however use GPS when it is on, not when the user hasn't specifically turned it on.
Why didn't SmallTalk or some other options that were available at the time do better?

Smalltalk was expensive (VisualAge, VisualWorks, for example) and wanted to own the world (image-based). With the web suddenly solving all deployment problems everywhere (at least, that was the rhetoric), paying thousands of dollars per developer for tools seemed silly.
You seem to imply that I haven't heard of this. Does this contradict anything I said and if so, how?

Before you answer, you might want to compare "biological half-life" with "radiological half-life" (as they are usually far different), and why the same issue of bioaccumulation has noted caused famine from hazardous materials that we know to have been dumped into the ocean in orders of magnitude much larger quantities. How many oil spills have fisheries survived in general?

A great case study for his traditional city movement is Tokyo. Most "suburban" areas are like his future 'traditional' city: 1 car width wide streets, walking-centric. All you need is exceptional public transportation - subway, rail. Drop yourself pretty much anywhere in Tokyo suburbs in Google Street View and you can see how a city of many multi-millions lives this way, no grids or arteries required.

The problem with doing this in Manhattan is that you have pretty hard boundaries for where the city should end, forcing development upwards.
Browserify transforms can do exactly the same, they transform whatever your file contains to valid JavaScript can can be require'd.
One of the interesting contradictions in software is that, logically, things are actually supposed to get faster as new versions come out, since there should have been both more time and more data to use for optimization. However, in practice, new versions of software are usually slower than their predecessors, presumably because of the addition of new features. It'd be interesting to see a product developed with a "no slowdowns allowed" policy.
I like to ask a variant of this: "what's the most interesting project you've done?" If they come back with something that impresses me, I take that as a good sign.
That's not an assumption I'd make, actually (that they wouldn't grasp the problem domain) -- there are plenty of atheists who were born into religious families, but left the religion.

I doubt most of them would be comfortable launching a business that would exclusively support efforts to sustain and spread religion, though; I know I wouldn't.

For those who feel uncomfortable with Malcolm's former creed that white people are devils and the black race is superior to all others, please do take note of the fact that he did convert to mainstream Islam near the end of his life thus disavowing any such racism or black supremacy.

As Malcolm so eloquently stated:

"America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have been considered white - but the white attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam. I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespective of their color."

You see, orthodox Islam, from the very beginning, espoused equality for all races. In fact, race in Islam is an inconsequential matter. Take for example, one of the greatest and most respected companions of the Prophet Muhammad was an African: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilal_Ibn_Rabah

The fact is that the Nation of Islam could not be any further from orthodox Islam. In fact, an orthodox Muslim could never possibly even consider one who believes in the NOI's teachings to be a Muslim. It's a shame that the NOI usurped the name Islam and applied it to its organization which really has absolutely nothing to do with a religion with such an illustrious history and tradition.
RAGE is doing substantially more of everything than Quake III, so I think the difference between Quake III from 1999 and RAGE from 2011 is a poor parallel to draw with iOS6 to iOS7.

A better comparison is that Windows 8 runs faster than Windows 7, which in turn ran faster than Vista. Linux kernels continues to improve in performance too.
