Apportioning the blame properly is crucial to understanding the significance of this call from the WHO. The vast majority of responses to this article focus on for profit prisons, police lobbying, and how the government doesn't do what the people want. If these are the driving forces behind the drug war, then a WHO recommendation is going to have little effect. However, the emprical evidence shows that the drug war arose not from for profit prison lobbying, an industry that really didn't exist when the phrase was coined, but on the back of vast public support. Moreover, the evidence also shows decriminalization policies gaining ground as public opinion shifts.

The bottom line is that the thesis underlying most of the comments in this thread is wrong. For profit prisons, police unions, etc, are not the biggest roadblocks to legalization. They're opportunists, but the backbone of the drug war is massive support from soccer moms and dads, the reliable voters that created the drug war in the first place. And if the medical community starts chipping away at them, change will follow, regardless of what the prison lobbey wants.

People thought TWA 800 was hit by a missile but after months of investigative work it was determined not to be the case. So let's keep an open mind. The Ukrainians are not infallible.

>After 9 Days, Ukraine Says Its Missile Hit A Russian Jet

Earlier today, Ukraine's military had taken responsibility after nine days of increasingly vaporous denials.

Seventy-eight people, most of them Russian émigrés to Israel, died when the Siberian Airlines flight from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk exploded and plunged 35,000 feet into the sea off the Russian coast. Four minutes earlier, a Ukrainian air defense exercise fired two long-range antiaircraft missiles at a drone off the Black Sea's Crimean coast.

Russian investigators concluded on Friday that one of the missiles, an S-300, struck the drone, but that the second, an S-200, flew 150 more miles and unleashed a warhead of shrapnel balls at the airliner. /

> In October 2013, Quarkslab exposed design flaws(iMessage privacy) in Apple’s iMessage protocol demonstrating that Apple does, despite its vehement denial,have the technical capability to intercept private iMessage traffic if they so desired, or were coerced to under a court order. The iMessage protocol is touted to use end-to-end encryption, however Quarkslab revealed in their research that the asymmetric keys generated to perform this encryption are exchanged through key directory servers centrally managed by Apple, which allow for substitute keys to be injected to allow eavesdropping to be performed. Similarly, the group revealed that certificate pinning, a very common and easy-to-implement certificate chain security mechanism, was not implemented in iMessage, potentially allowing malicious parties to perform MiTM attacks against iMessage in the same fashion.

So much for iMessage security. Also, ProtonMail works much in the same way (central key management), for anyone wondering, so it should be vulnerable to the same type of attacks.

Stores with "NSA" get a large number of user flags. As recently as last week, they also got a small penalty --- the second smallest on the site --- to compensate for the very large number of NSA stories that are generated every day.

If you submitted an NSA story and it fell off the front page, it was user flags that did it, not the penalty.

Azure Machine Learning: A Brief Introduction
From Daniel Gackle, who comments on the stories that get buried.
I think the penalty levels for flagging seriously need to be looked at, and some measures to prevent flag rings and other malicious flagging should to be put into place.

The story this thread refers to is the perfect example: it was #1 with 200 upvotes after just a few hours. The link was then changed to a different domain that covered the topic in more depth, and the story was suddenly buried within a half hour--apparently by flagging. How was the first link so popular and the second link inappropriate for discussion when the topic was the same? Either some users are just very prejudiced against certain domains, or there are some users and/or organizations that have automated systems in place to detect certain domains or links and send alerts to bury them.

> The way to combat this issue is to tie the price to some other currency (e.g. X USD or Bitcoin per GB per hour paid in Filecoin), but it would be tough to convince other people to use your currency if you aren't even confident enough in it to price your own products using it.

You can't peg a decentralized currency. You need to be able to control supply in order for the peg to work (ie. to sell more into the market to lower the price, if needed), and then it wouldn't be decentralized.

When we recognize patterns, like, when we throw a ball at a moving target, we don't consciously analyze things, but that doesn't make it "hand-wavy". With a more complex map, it might take longer to develop an "intuition" for it, but that doesn't mean there are not a lot of complex and somewhat precise "calculations" going on, it's just that we're not that aware of all of them.

No, but it clutters up the site, and having the discussion in public can make the actual discussion impossible as the thread gets swamped with people threatening to leave for Reddit or worried that 'dang is a secret Republican.

Which I assume are among the many reasons that the moderators have asked that these conversations go to hn@ycombinator.com instead of threads.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

And thanks for the +1. I usually get downvoted on HN whenever I raise this issue, because many HN'ers do get their salaries ultimately from advertisers.
A rebuttal to this argument is found on the last paragraph of this [1] article:

"Malaysian officials said an airline could not be expected to have the intelligence information and other resources to make independent determinations to avoid an area where air traffic controllers were still sending planes. But some carriers had already done just that. China Airlines, the flagship carrier of Taiwan, said that it had avoided flying over all of Ukraine since April 4. Korean Airlines and Asiana Airlines also confirmed that they had not flown planes through Ukrainian airspace since March 3."

It also looks like Air France and British Airways avoided Ukraine entirely [2]

And even if all airlines had made the mistake of flying over Ukraine, it is absurd to suggest that an airline might not have the "intelligence information and other resources" to make an independent judgement about safety. A single person spending half an hour on the internet would determine that (a) the rebels were shooting down planes using surface-to-air missiles; and (b) there are some surface-to-air missiles that can reach an altitude of 40,000 feet. That is all the information you need to conclude that the area isn't safe for commercial airplanes.

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior - we know ISP's have throttled streaming video to enhance their own streaming video offerings, so is it that far fetched to believe they would do the same with VOIP? Most of these large ISP's are heavy into bundling and offer their own VOIP packages, so I think it is fairly logical to assume this is being discussed internally somewhere. Definitely not FUD.

The India you're talking about starts in what we today call Iraq and ends about 1/3rd into what we currently call India, encompassing Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and never reached the south of India or Madagascar. That was the area ruled by the Mughals, which was called India because, well it was. Their rule can be described as having a death toll of between 30 and 50 world war IIs.

The area of the Mughal empire is most definitely both religiously and ethnically cleansed. So it the other side. Before islam northern africa was black. In all likelihood, Hannibal was black.

There is no assimilation. Now in this case is was because of constant massacres, perpetraded predominantly by the muslim side (but where one side starts massacring, revenge will come).

But it doesn't really matter. The European conquest of the Americas has only a few massacres, certainly not comparable to what happened in Northern Africa or India. For the most part Native American culture dissappeared because, well, frankly, because Native Americans preferred European culture above their tribes (and in a lot of cases, they didn't have much of a choice, having lost a duel for leadership, or a woman, according to several monks who wrote on the subject). You see the same in places where "natural" human communities still exist, like sub-saharan Africa.

Just talk to the people there. You will note that they know life in the "villages" as they call it. They're not talking about some faraway town with a church but no supermarket (for one thing, they're not all that far from the cities, only 10km or so). They're talking about huts, hunting, and so on. They also know why the men leave (the women, well, mostly can't. Think about the impact on the group for 5 minutes and you'll understand why men can leave and women can't. And no, they're not prudes, the women can fuck whoever they want, kids are the village's kids, not really having any real mother or father, just a group of people who care for them (mostly the older children)). They are voluntarily abandoning the culture they have en-masse to attempt (and mostly fail) to join the third world. Having been there, I can certainly see why. Plus sometimes they get into trouble (e.g. lose a territorial battle, get half the tribe infected, run out of food, ...) and they have no choice.
My mind isn't closed on this one, but the case appears pretty clear-cut to me. While it could have exploded mid air, I seriously doubt it crashing in the war zone was a coincidence.

If you're trying to show off your ability to build websites, GH Pages will be a better bet than Wordpress. The source is easily browsable, and you'll have, y'know, built it.

If what you do has nothing to do with building websites, then just go with Wordpress. You'll get something that looks good (if not super original) without too much effort.

You might want to look into lightening up a little. You gave objectively bad advice, backed by objectively bad reasoning, and were educated about your mistakes for free.

But with no legal power of enforcement I'm guessing? I mean an airlines can always choose to follow the directives of agencies from other countries that have more stringent standards.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that there should be definitely increased public pressure on airlines to include flight safety in their calculations. Or atleast not fly over active war zones..

There was an even more interesting report (from the FlightRadar) on the flight path of the plane than was downed. It basically veered off its standard course that was going to the left and under the rebel territory and right over the rebel territory.

Couple this with some reports that the plane was escorted by Ukrainian fighter jets at some point and it stops looking as a clear cut "stupid rebel monkey" case. After all Ukraine has much more to gain from this incident if it blamed on rebels/Russians. They also got the US keenly interested in the whole mess, offering a wealth of experience in steering geo-politically important conflicts the "right way", so this could very well be a staged provaction.
We only use 10% of our brains? That’s 100% wrong
Let's be honest, this website isn't a democracy or a republic or anything like that, even if there is "voting" on submissions and comments.

Average users really have no say while they're here. There's no real ability to control or even influence how this site is operated.

Leaving, or choosing not to actively participate any longer, probably does have the biggest impact of all of the options available to a user. Discussion forums need participants, and participants leaving over time can have a huge impact.

Slashdot is a good example of this. Various site owners/operators started changing things in ways that users did not like. Many users spoke out, but they were ignored. In many cases, they were subjected to downmodding, especially those who spoke out against bad UI changes or the recent beta site. Seeing that discussing the problems had no impact on the situation, they left. Now Slashdot is a wasteland compared to what it once was, a decade or so ago. The decline in participation may be gradual, but it's very real, and its impact is significant.

If gates are functions and their inputs are like function inputs and composing gates is like function composition, then how is this different from a normal programming language ?
Very different. I had seen this a long time ago, wasn't able to get it to work at the time, and was recently reminded by someone about it. He actually said he prefers EasyMotion because of character level precision. I was thinking of trying to create that as well, but I noticed someone has already started with an atom plugin called quick-jump (Today).

Personally, I think jumpy is a bit easier on the brain, but only brings you to the words. Also the quick-jump doesn't yet seem to work for vim-mode or multiple pane jumping. I might try to contribute to quick-jump, or start my own depending on collaboration etc.
Interesting. I've always worked from a laptop (first a 13" now a 15"). I got to use a 27" Apple display earlier this year for 1 week. I found it hard to get used to. With a bigger display keeping the light from reflecting off it was more difficult, I had to move the mouse so much further to do things, and I physical had to move my head to view the different areas of the screen (whereas with the laptop I can just move my eyes). Happy to be back with the laptop.

My best understanding: Decriminalization means it is not illegal. Legalization means it is regulated.

Let me see if this helps make it clear:

I used to subscribe to some sort of energy/environmental magazine. Solar power or whatever. And there was a story about a guy in Chicago who wanted to make his own home-grown power and go off the grid in the midst of Chicago. And he called around to see what agency was in charge of this, who he needed to apply to for permits and that sort of thing. And he got told, basically, that this had not yet made anyone's radar and there was no agency in charge of this stuff. There was no where he needed to go in order to get permission.

He hung up the phone and realized as long as he didn't mess up badly and make the radar of the police or others, he could do any damn thing he wanted. So he set about doing what he wanted and went off-grid. It was perfectly "legal" to do so and no one was up in his business about it. It was a new thing and no rules had yet been made for it, basically. So there was nothing stopping him.

Legalizing prostitution would be more akin to, say, the way we have driver's licenses. There would be a process for applying to get your hooker's license and proving you did not have VD or whatever. Decriminalization is more just saying "If a woman (or other person) wants to charge money for sexual services, she is not breaking the law and cannot be charged with a crime for that."

Or so I understand, law not being some strong point of mine.
You said it was most certainly rebels mistaking one plane for another. Why are you certain? Do you know how various anti-aircraft weapons work or have you just assumed there's a blinking "target acquired" message and a red Launch button?
