Anywhere for bug reports to go?

If I add many skills to a skill list and attempt to delete the skills, a skill further down the list is deleted instead of the one I am clicking. If I delete all the skills in that list, finish and wait for the "Saving..." dialog, upon refresh half (if not more) of the list that I deleted will reappear.

Also, on that note, it seems counter-intuitive to me to have the check (for confirmation) to the left of the x (for decline to save changes) when dealing with the dialog to add specifics to a group (in my case, skills to a skill list). Many times I meant to save changes, and hit the X on the right rather than the checkmark instead of the check on the right, because for some reason I was stuck mentally with thinking 'confirm dialog on the right'. X on the right is intuitive for closing a window, but less so when accompanied with a confirmation checkmark (of course, opinion)

It's worth being aware that this can work both ways.

I've worked with sales teams where "I need to hit target this month" was used as a cover story to offer a moderate discount to a buyer without creating (too much of) an expectation that such discounts would available in the future, or suggesting that the company was getting desperate to close.

That is, it was a partly-but-not-entirely-true story to justify an exploding offer.

I appreciate that in medicine it can be. But this is not medicine. In this case the 'research' was obviously done by first letting someone cycle WITH hair, then they were shaved (with time to recover I imagine) and then they tried again. I say 'obviously' because this little participants is not enough because you'd need more people to be able to compare means in performance differences.

The problem I see however is that after being shaved the participant would feel faster and thus behave faster. A sort of placebo effect if you will. At the same time, the cyclist-cultural effect of being 'unshaved' in the first test would make them feel sluggish. The same effect as seen in experiments where participants are presented with negative messages vs positive messages and asked to perform tasks. The participants exposed to negative messages, as expected, perform poorly in comparison to the other group.

In conclusion, I feel, that this 'research' can only be used as something to base you hypothesis on, but it is in no way conclusive in its current setup. You'd need to have random groups of cyclists, some of whom are, to begin with, shaved, and some who are not. It would maybe be easier not to use cyclists in order to find a diverse enough set of participants. Then again I don't know how many regular cyclists go around unshaven.

Japan's self-defense force is better-equipped, I will grant, but there are a few reasons.

One is that there is always a higher level China could escalate to. I mean, in the end game they have nukes and Japan doesn't. But even if it didn't get to that level, China is a totalitarian regime with a history of brutally suppressing dissent, and I also assume that China would be willing to lose a lot more lives to make gains.

Japan is a high-functioning democracy, and has been one of the most peaceful advanced economies of the world since losing the war. Before that, yeah, they were a definite bad actor on the world stage. But they haven't committed any military aggression toward any country in more than 65 years.

It is my personal opinion that there is almost no way that the people of Japan (where I live, though I am American) would support a war against China. Even if China just up and landed an occupying force on Japan's Senkaku islands.

In a democracy, that public support really matters. In a totalitarian regime, not so much.

I don't personally know that much about the military stuff -- how much would Japan's superior equipment matter in an actual conflict -- so I'd be interested to hear more knowledgeable people chime in. But in Japan, a war with China would be politically untenable unless China like, invaded Tokyo, or something. Which is highly unlikely.

As with the Philippines, I think the USA is the main deterrent to Chinese aggression. And these days it's a pretty shaky deterrent.
no, but the linked product (mail-in-a-box) uses ownCloud's webDAV/calDAV implementation rather than providing a separate means.

in my experience if ownCloud is supplied with a self-signed cert, the webDAV module throw errors but still works correctly. It's really obnoxious and causes a nag-window at the top of the main settings UI until either you comment out the nag window or buy a signed cert.
The number of people needed to archieve statistically significant results more or less solely relies on the size of the effect that gets measured[1]. It's actually not unusual to design experimental studies with just a single person - provided the "treatment" (shaven legs in this case) are reversible. Then you just have to make repeated phases with and without treatment , e.g. ABABAB or even ABACABAC if you have an alternative treatment you want to compare the results with.

[1] If you design a study you can actually start from the other end: If you can estimate the size of the effect to be measured, you can calculate the number of people needed for significance beforehand.
This wasn't "how fast can you get from A to B" - they were cycling at a steady rate on a stationary bike in a wind tunnel. Pedalling faster would not trivially make the results better (it might have some complicated aerodynamic effect, but I don't have any clue of the likely size or direction).

Are you doing some fancy region analysis (e.g., like in Harlan) instead of GC?
If we accept that nations (that is, communities of people with a feeling of belonging to the same group that share history, culture, language, traditions, etc.) exist, then we must accept that they should be considered equal in the same way people are considered equal: they should treat each other as equal and should care about the wellbeing of each other. They should look for their own wellbeing, but consider the common good of all nations to be even more important.

Given these principles, the world should encourage nations to take care of their own issues and reach the maturity and capability to function economically and advance culturally and socially, and to interact with the rest in spirit of cooperation; they would provide the means for that.

This would be, in my opinion, one of the requirements to ensure lasting peace, as well as a potent boost for the world economy. The alternative is that these nations are not recognized or only partially recognized, and that they are unable to manage their own issues the way they wish, and to have their own voice in the world, for so many of the important matters are global nowadays. Ignoring them will always lead to growing instability, as these nations and their aspirations will not disappear -and if they do, that would be a loss for humanity.

We have the tools of democracy to achieve this peacefully. The editorial of the NYT a few days ago[1] talked about the value of achieving this democratically. Xavier Sala-i-Martín, economist at Columbia University, often explains a story that makes the same point (I tried to improve Google's translation a little):

"What if an alien interested in bringing democracy to its planet suddenly appeared in our living room and asked us how do we earthlings make collective decisions? Surely we would explain that to choose our leaders, we vote; that to pass our laws, we vote; you to decide how public money is spent, we vote, and to set taxes, we vote. If, suddenly, the galactic sir stood in front of a world map and told us: "I guess you also vote in order to change the borders on this map, right?". We would have to embarrassedly respond: "No, the borders can be changed only by fighting". Given this bizarre revelation, poor Mr. green would turn green (if that was not its original color) and would run, exclaiming that we are barbarians."[2]

Difficult to set up? I disagree, Xdebug with connectback is amazingly easy to set up in a Linux VM! On windows, yes, it's hard, but Linux and OS X its very simple nowadays. I should write blog post on how to do it (having done it dozens of times over the past 6 months)
Let's be realistic here. I'm in the same boat, I'm Scottish and British (identity) and have a British passport (citizenship), and live in London. It's very unlikely to be an either or, and I believe the contingency right now is that in worst case, British passports will be honoured till expiry. But likeliest is dual passports. And what of my son, though, while we're on this? He's English, born here to a Scottish dad and English mum. Will he get a choice (or us on his behalf)? That exercises me more than my own passport.

On your initial question, it'll just be a straight up question of what's more important - a passport that reflects your heritage but that might have more visa requirements for a few years, or retain your existing one. If it came to it, I'd take the rUK one for now, it's not a big issue - it's like all the people I know who're from other countries and also have a UK passport.
Plausible deniability. You are only the low ranking front. You don't know the passphrase needed to hand over.

I really like it that most of the hacks aren't polished too much; makes it way easier to read for me. Often all those startup tips'n'tricks can be cheesy and distract.

Many notes were useful to me, but this one struck me as I was dealing with it yesterday:

> "Writing everything down. After years and years of assuming that I can rely on my memory, I finally realized I was wrong about that. Even if I can remember something, the task of my brain holding onto that little piece of information is taking time and energy away from whatever task it is that I’m working on in the moment. I’ve cobbled together a handful of products/services to achieve what has become a pretty efficient way to keep track of everything."

I was thinking about creating a website with categories/hashtags/search/calendar (could use something like WP/Drupal) and using it for the same purpose.

Did someone else have the same problem? How did you solve it?
> But they haven't committed any military aggression toward any country in more than 65 years.

Well, yeah. It's in their constitution.

> It is my personal opinion that there is almost no way that the people of Japan (where I live, though I am American) would support a war against China. Even if China just up and landed an occupying force on Japan's Senkaku islands.

Perhaps not over the Senkaku Islands, but I think that if China were aggressive toward one of the four main islands (or Okinawa), the Japanese people would definitely support war -- even if not in actual name. I was really surprised at the general sentiment toward the proposed amendment in that it was a lot more supportive than I personally would have expected from a heiwa-boke Japan.

Especially against China though, there's already a lot of dark, anti-China sentiment (especially with the recent chicken fiasco) that I feel like could be stirred up into support for a non-War armed conflict/proportional response... though I don't know how the people would act after seeing the results.

Edit: In addition, I feel like war-weary Americans would be similarly ambivalent about entering war against China if China tried to annex, say, Wake Island.

> As with the Philippines, I think the USA is the main deterrent to Chinese aggression.

This is for me personally the number one reason I don't think that China would be willing to escalate against Japan, actually. American bases in Japan can not only provide support, but attacks on them would draw America into the conflict necessarily.

I meant it more as a summary of China's strategic philosophy, which seems to be that the weak must inevitably give way to the strong. I don't know about a major military conflict, but China certainly seems to to be adopting a more...experimental posture.
Go to places where it's unavoidable. Courthouses, high security events, political rallies. Any place where the consensus is that they "need to keep the peace".

Live in a place that is considered high crime by the surrounding communities. Be a different color/religion/orientation/gender than the police officer nearest you. Be financially distraught.

Be poor, and have no where to live.

Live flashy within the law. Drive a fast looking car. Paint it red. Put some loud (but entirely legal) exhaust system on it. Lower it to the limits of legality, and put some big chrome wheels on it.

Be empathetic and understanding towards criminals and the reasons they became labeled as such. That's the best way to meet a police officer, probably.

I've never said something this honest to another individual on hacker news before : I envy you who can avoid the police. I'm not familiar with London, but it's miraculous here in the states.
> It's like pointing to a guy walking his dog at the park after noticing a parked car with it's lights on, and saying "there's the owner in the car" vs "there's the owner of the car".

So here's a bit of nuance for me. I can parse "the headers of the packets" in one of two ways:

1) For each packet, the header of said packet (clearly referring to the IP layer header)

2) For each packet, the headers of said packet (ambiguous)

"The header of a packet" is relatively unambiguous, and akin to your analogy. I would grant this kind of mistake to be rare, although I'm not sure we'd agree on how rare. Certainly not impossibly rare - more common than those spurious 3s in my own writing, and yet we see one of those quite clearly.

"The headers of a packet" is more ambiguous. A packet has only one header. The header has options, so that could be what's being referred to. Or it could be more loosely referring to metadata, or headers of another protocol contained within the packet data.

I could see myself using this kind of loose terminology quite easily. I'm not a network engineer, I don't do switch configuration, I don't have to get down and dirty with IP layer issues with MTU and MRU misconfigurations, so it's quite possible I'm more prone to this kind of mistake than you are.

I'm just a programmer who's occasionally asked to dabble with layer 7 networking stuff, and mostly interact with this when I e.g. fire up Wireshark to debug why my Amazon S3 authentication isn't working, only to discover Unity's WWW class ignored the (HTTP) headers I wanted to send on iOS (explaining why it worked perfectly fine on Windows!)

You're misunderstanding my intended point.

I meant to illuminate the fact that a person of the same race and creed can have vastly different (anecdotal) experiences.

The link you provided shows me two things : Ethnic groups are the chunk of victims (I know this, and it's terrible), and the numbers are rising.

I want my focus to be on that second point. Police are acting out of bounds in recent history. The racial problem is not new. I don't condone it, and it's terrible, but the times' are changing, and police are a problem now for everyone regardless of the racial split. The percentages may stay somewhat static, but check out the difference illustrated by that link in sheer numbers over time! Yes, ethnic groups are disproportionately targeted, but yes, everyone is being targeted for these searches with greater frequency now.
Being a libertarian myself, I must admit I rather tend to agree with the socialist guy here. Smaller governments are better especially if they'd be socialist. If the government in the place where I live decides to build socialism, I'd like to be able to move before the toilet paper shortages start (I don't know what is special about toilet paper but socialists tend to have worst of luck with it [1]) and smaller is the government smaller is the distance I would have to move to regain access to this under-appreciated commodity. So besides all political reasons the most practical reason of minimizing the risk and the transaction costs if the worst does happen, smaller governments are better for me.

I don't like where this is all going. I've seen too often how seemingly trivial things can lead to all-out wars.

Thanks to Iraq and Afghanistan, the US has spent a lot of treasure. The population doesn't have the desire for more war. Now Russia and China are seeing how far they can push. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like we're seeing the beginnings of things that lead to a major war between Russia & China on one side, and the US on the other.

You're making rounds without saying anything: The FED is there to ensure stability. You don't agree with their policies for a variety of reasons, I'm all with you. But what you're promoting here has nothing to do with democracy or fairness. It's more of a jungle where the big guy eats the small guy for lunch.

The old saying is stupid because everyone who studied monetary policies knows that currencies are enforced upon population (taxes).

I already explained what a player with big % of BTC can do to manipulate a free-from-regulation market, as BTC is. But it's really elementary, if you know how stock markets work.

Who is desperate and moving away from the USD? You seem to switch from micro-view to macro-view in no time and back. You're talking about average Joe again or Iran/China/Russia for example? Because average Joe and China are not on the same level currency-wise.
