> That's interesting, but what's puzzling me the most is how less people commit suicide during a war.

Just speculating, but, I can immediately see two obvious potential contributing factors to lower suicide statistics (one of which isn't actually about reduced incidence of suicide, per se): during a war, there's a lot more opportunity for suicide-that-doesn't-get-categorized-as-suicide, and there is also a additional opportunity (compared to peacetime) for things that provide short-term, immediate purpose even if they don't deal with the underlying problems.

I have this same exact problem with it. Unfortunately they don't respond to support emails...
because you're involved in a strawman. funny how that works.
I checked out the moment the author drew a kind of strained equivalency between illegal amphetamines (i.e., meth) and modafinil and caffeine.

I'm all for ending the drug war as we know it, but I don't find this kind of thing helpful. Is a very technical way, he's right: the overall picture of what drugs are and what they do and why some are judged "bad" and others not is a nuanced, historically literate view. And almost completely irrelevant.

Being high on meth is a completely different phenomenon than being stimulated into wakefulness. The former can cause people to do really stupid and dangerous things, not to mention the physical destruction it wreaks on the human body. The two are really incomparable in practice. IMO, policy arguments out to focus on the ill effects of the "drug war" itself, not the technical equivalencies between drugs to which most people will not assent (including me).
Except people do have a right to associate or not associate with others on the basis of their respective views. In the case of Brendan Eich, a lot of people made it clear that they didn't want to associate with him, and he chose to resign.

That is, I believe, the definition of how a marketplace of ideas is supposed to work; you get to have your view, somebody else gets to have a different view, and if one of them "wins" then... it wins.
Rap Genius was actively gaming the system at the time so that isn't a worthy example.
I can't thank you enough, this is some incredibly valuable advice that you've given me and everyone else on HN.

I'm trying to log and look for varied signals, and have a few interesting ones that pick up the lazy and not-so-lazy fraudsters.

I'm going to be extra careful to ensure that we keep "understanding the story behind the data."

(that one has the added benefit of feeling obvious in hindsight, and so once again, incredibly valuable)

Thanks again!
Not really, nobody is forcing you to delete everything manually. You can always implement the feature yourself!

(Sorry, didn't meant to be that guy, but seriously don't know why people expect a clearly new piece of open source software to do everything they want.)
if it aint broke, don't fix it, and PHP's stdlib aint broke. It just aint perfect. It will never BE perfect.

And that's ok. There's a million things I'd like to see before people start trying to "fix" an stdlib that's been around for so long.
It is actually very reasonable. If you know exactly how a set of API are implemented, you could easily come up with a slightly different implementation that could really optimize the most frequent call patterns by Snapchat.
Indentation would make it easier to read the comments structure, especially if each indent had a line or block down the left margin.
I find it's still really noticeable in the skin tones and highlights. You can find lots of comparisons online; once you see film beside digital, the difference can be pretty huge. Some people in Hollywood still really care about it... one recent example: http://motion.kodak.com/motion/Publications/InCamera/Creatin...
“It’s like we’ve forgotten how great film looks when you see it in comparison,” Alsobrook remarks. “We looked at each other, and it was a done deal. There was no question we were going to shoot film. It has a rich, creamy look to it that you just can’t get any other way.”

One instance where it's very obvious to me was 300 vs its sequel 300: Rise of an Empire.
I tried to find 2 similar images:
300

300 sequel
http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTQwMTk3MTU3OV5BMl5Ban...

So basically I think digital is getting there but it still has a little ways to go in matching the perceived quality.

That's because the other 99% understands how browser caching works. If you use JQuery.com, Google, or Microsoft's CDNs then MOST of the time users won't have to download a JQuery/Boostrap/etc library as the browser would already have an unexpired cache of it.

For example, the OP's link's cache will expire (theoretically) in the year 2079. So if a user visited ANY page that utilises JQuery v1.10.2 they already have it. That is a HUGE win. It is an even huger win for mobile (e.g. for small sites you could cut your network traffic in half, which in turn increases loading speed).

It is also trivial to set it up so the page tries the CDN first and if that fails then grab a local copy e.g.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="lib/jquery-1.10.2.js">\x3C/script>')</script>

Spaceship Engine Experiment
Yes, renaming exists in modern cores, but where do you think the physical values are stored? Answer: there's still a "physical register file". The renamer maps logical register slots to PRF entries. This is well-covered in academic comparch literature from the 90s onward (and is how it's done in real modern OoO cores too, see e.g. articles on Intel Sandy Bridge).

(disclaimer: I'm rebutting the general point about microarchitectures and register files/SRAMs, but haven't studied the Mill in any depth...)
I can see it working maybe, but still, it seems like you could just put something up on CL just as easy, and nobody is going to pick up your stuff and return it, they will just pick it up when they buy it.

Would just using another CDN be just as safe?
"RAM" here means SRAM (static RAM). That just means "array of storage elements (latches) connected by bitlines and wordlines", which is way more efficient than "random latches we scattered throughout the chip". SRAMs are used extensively for indexed storage such as physical register files, queues, predictor arrays, etc in modern microarchitectures.

Doubtful. Snapchat hired another ex-Googler, Jad Boutros, as director of information security:

Jad is an excellent hire.
It's not the speed that is the problem - it's the relative difference in speed between two nearby vehicles that you should be concerned. Someone doing 55 in a 55 when everyone else is doing 70 is being a hazard, in their case following the speed limit is outright dangerous.

This is of course in context of freeways - residential streets etc do require a hard speed limit.

Of course you do, it just takes a teeny bit more work--you swap the contents of crypto.js with the contents of malicious-crypto.js. The threat model is exactly the same (users either trust the server or they don't) but the browser crypto option adds a layer of (respectfully, because I know you're a very intelligent person who means well) bullshit.
Love this idea! I signed up and am looking forward to seeing what kind of items are available in the coming weeks.

One little thing confused me about the dashboard: I can see that I have "free item alerts" on, but I can't find a way to see if I have alerts on for normal auction items.

In any case, great idea and I'm excited to use it.

I managed to win 3 tickets in CA (over a period of about 9 years) using trial by written declaration. In fact one of them was using a very similar argument to OPs. It's a bunch of work as I painstakingly assembled my case with loads of supporting evidence but I think it's important to stand up for yourself.

Admittedly all 3 cases were dismissed because the officer didn't bother to write a response but TBWD is a lot cheaper than lawyering up and does sometimes work.
YC will even accept teams with no idea at all [1], but I don't know how many of those there have been. In those cases, and likely in the case of just a landing page, the application would have to have a very strong team, probably with previous success under their belt.

IAAP, so let me take a stab at answering it.

Each photon can be completely described by three values. Where is it? Which direction is it traveling? What is its energy? For photons, unlike the cannonball, there are no additional places to store energy.

So, what does that mean for the laser example? Because you are absolutely right that lasers can ignite paper. Photons carry both energy and momentum, but the two cannot be separated. If the paper takes the energy, it must also take away the momentum. The key equation for light is "E = pc", energy equals momentum times the speed of light. The more the energy, the more the momentum. Reduce the energy (or transfer it into the paper

Let's start playing with some numbers. I like drinking tea, and I don't like waiting very long for the water to boil. So, I take out my 1 megawatt laser, and bring a cup of water to boil in about 0.5 second. The lasers you have seen igniting paper are usually 50 milliwatt, so we are talking 20 million times stronger. If there is an effect, surely it would be visible here.

So, that E=pc formula still works here. Because I am transferring energy to my cup of water, I must also be transferring momentum. The question is, how much momentum? To determine this, I rearrange the formula to p = E/c. Using the magic of google to handle the unit conversions, I find that I have about 0.001 pounds of force. The friction of the cup against the table is far, far more than enough to keep the cup from showing any reaction whatsoever.

You are asking absolutely great questions. It is fun to hear somebody not accepting things at face value, comparing to known experiences, and figuring out how to make them fit. Keep up the great work.

> The beauty of this model is anyone can become a gateway at any time.

If this takes off, then you could use this to build the killer "spot me $5" app. A few weeks ago when some friends were describing the spreadsheet they used to track who owes what to who, I proposed a micro-virtual currency limited to just the circle of friends that all trust each other, whereby exchanging the virtual currency you can transfer debts, and trivially find out who owes money and who is owed just by looking at the current account ledger. Seems like Stellar enables that on a massive scale, without everyone needing to trust each other, because the coins are all tagged with the issuer.

Stellar uses real-world currencies to denote the held values. Does it limit these currencies to actual known entities, or could I become an issuer and start issuing credits in a fake currency? If I can do that, then it seems like there's an opportunity here to use Stellar to track things other than monetary exchanges. As a hypothetical example, if I had several kids, they could all trust each other to issue units of a fake currency called "Chore". If I ask one of them to do something, they could instead pay 1 Chore to their sibling to have them do it instead. This can of course be redeemed later if I ask the sibling to do something. Since it's a fake currency, it has no real value and can't be traded outside of the small group of kids (as nobody would accept it). This sort of thing can't be done with e.g. USD because the proxy money could be traded to someone else who doesn't realize that I won't actually accept it back for money.
It isn't an alternative.

Picking an ugly font that has to be huge to be legible and providing too much empty space and padding? Yea, I can do that.

That particular case, the colors make the text not so hard on the eyes, but the font itself is just awful at that size, it may be interesting in print, but on a webpage it's just too jumbled and it's certainly not very legible. You wouldn't want to read a book written in that font.

Click on the 'features' or 'bootstrap' on that page, and tell me you don't spot something wrong.

Also, where does the magenta color come in? I see it nowhere in that theme...

I think it's great that you are working on making something like this, I'd love to tell my computer 'give me something gloomy' and then 'but not too dark' and it would generate and iterate until it got something I liked. I just don't think it's quite ready for primetime. Unless of course you are just looking for feedback on the themes. In that case, I'd suggest you open up the comments on each theme page and allow rating anonymously.

It's a shame to see that your comment got voted down.

That said, it is a good example of why the "downvote if you disagree" policy that has been encouraged here is a rather idiotic idea.

Your comment is clearly not commercial spam or anything of that nature. And it does present an argument, with justification for why it may hold true.

It might "offend" thin-skinned people associated with some of the well-established academic institutions you'd listed. That's not a problem with the comment, however, but rather with the people who can't stand to read an argument that they may disagree with badly enough to want to censor.

I don't know if I agree or disagree with what you said, but I do know that it wasn't a waste of my time to read it, and it did get me thinking somewhat. The most bothersome part was dealing with the unnecessarily gray text.
