In 1998,the Indonesian students stage a mass protest to demand what was then thought impossible and insane. They demanded that president Soeharto step down, the end to the military rule, and a free democratic election. After the students face real bullies and tanks, they finally bought down a 32 year old regime and a president once considered one of Asia strongman. In 2014 this year, Indonesia was internationally (UN) acclaimed to held the largest (150 million voters) and free direct presidential election ( 1 man 1 vote). The winner is mr jokowi who is from an ordinary background, non- millitary and not from any elite families.
In a Democracy, NOTHING is Impossible. However, reforms need to take place before it can really happen. BLood, tears , time and sadly lives are the cost for it.
When the hk students is face with ak47 from the PLA and stood their grounds, only then they can claim they are willing to “die for democracy”. Only then the hk students can say they are In the same league as the “tiananmen students”. I will also like to remind the hk students that the students at tiananmen 89, jakarta 98, Tunisia 12, Ukraine 14 did not wear googles, as nothing can stop a bullets from a automatic rifle. If you are all having second thought, then. I suggest that you guys go home and maybe come back next year. The world are watching and waiting to see if the cute hk students are really the “legendary” Chinese students at tiaanmen who let PLA tanks roll on them and haunts your communist leaders till now.
The bit twidling means that you can store any kind of Ocaml value in a single machine word.

https://realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/memory-representation-...

This makes the generated executables less efficient but it makes the lives of the compiler and garbage collector easier: Every single variable or function parameter has the same size and you can easily tell if a value is a pointer or not just by looking at it.

In a way, its a little bit like executing bytecode in a virtual machine. The executable does some extra bit twiddling, boking and tagging but lots of things get simpler because of the uniform value representation.

> But seriously, is there code that isn't heavy on integer arithmetic or floating point operations? Do computers do anything else?

Lots of software nowadays is bottlenecked by the speed of network interfaces or RAM, meaning that the arithmetic speed isn't a big factor.
Standing up while cycling makes your calves work really hard. A hour or two on one of these would make even a regular cyclist ache for a week, so a seat is probably essential for any practical purpose. The riding experience looks novel, that is probably it's main appeal.
I actually just wrote an add-on for Google Sheets (It allows you to run neural networks in a spreadsheet). While I resented being forced to use Google's Apps Script Editor, I was impressed with the quality of the documentation and reference materials. They've done a pretty good job.
Depends on how fast you are able to identify and isolate the patients. Unless there is reason to suspect ebola it's not exactly the first diagnosis that will come to mind. Most hospitals probably also don't have the necessary isolation facilities or at least not on standby.

Ultimately though ebola is relatively easy to combat, collect the patients, put a fence around them, wait long enough and clean up what's left. The problem is finding and securely containing the patients.
On what, the IP blackmarket? I don't think so, but off the top of my head Microsoft (rather publicly) bought an entire /13 for several million a few years ago

Sometimes I wonder if using rpython is a good meta language for this tracing JIT technique. I don't know if there would have been any benefit if the meta langage was specifically designed for the purpose of implementing dynamic interpreters with the meta jit magic.

Adding explicit static typing to the meta language (i.e. replace rpython) could at the very least remove the long type analysis, and translation times, while providing better error messages.
You do get a boost from the wave contracting and converging towards the opposite point from halfway around the earth. I think it is not at all obvious what the order of damping will be.
This will replace workflowy and trello, time to test drive first. Looks great though.
ITA thinks there are routes from Monrovia to DFW which do not transit Europe. For example there is one via Casablanca and Montreal.
There are flights from west Africa to both Atlanta and Houston, plus some other cities. United services Nigeria and Ghana out of Houston and Dulles respectively, Delta has some flights to the same cities out of their hubs.

It is most certainly possible to fly from west Africa to the US without transiting a third region.
Well someone that hasn't been to an affected country, or been in contact with the current case won't have Ebola.
I think what Moore is talking about is what is called an Embedded Domain Specific Language.
I personally would be concerned if I was sat next to that person on the flight back home. Even if the fear is unrealistic.

Don't tell me you would happily sitting and eating next to someone with confirmed ebola for 8 hours plus, because they haven't started showing symptoms at that very moment.

I would at the very least go to a doctor to be sure.
Most modern / renovated hospitals (last ~10-15 years) have designed their isolation rooms to be negative pressure anyway and standard patient rooms also operate under negative pressure because of how airhandling is setup (albeit a very light negative pressure)
Because it's a lot more deadly than the vast majority of viruses.
Please don't spread fear when you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

The probability of ebola spreading to any significant portion of the united states is virtually nil.
Variables being global by default is definitely a wart. You can mitigate it a lot with a linter or with runtime tests (extending the global metatable). Local by default would be a bad idea and worse than global by default, IMO, as it would mess up lexical scoping. The ideal would be having a compilation error by default.
Is your assertion that there is no free market just because any given prison only contracts with one payment service? Is there no free market in cleaning services because my building only contracts with one provider? Is it only a free market if every individual transaction is put up for bidding?
I am more terrified by those news women's artificial appearances than by ebola, I gotta admit.
"make it more easily transmissible _or_more_pathogenic_"

You probably should be more concerned about the flu or the common cold becoming lethal than about Ebola becoming airborne. Reason? There are way more throws of the mutation dice for the common cold and flu than for Ebola because these are way more common.
This is a non-argument on all fronts. I also noticed the other day that embedded developers for the betterment of assembly languages wrote a modern OS with just plain assembly and some Perl scripts to fill in the parts where assembly was not cutting it because it would have required too much copying and pasting.
Now that you mention it, it seems odd that companies don't let you tweak specs individually. RAM, CPU, disk space, network speed, etc. are all independent variables. Why not have some pricing formula and then give us a slider for each dimension and let us choose what we want?

Since I cannot Pm you here:

1) Thanks a ton for the site, I have enjoyed many hours on it and find that it has made my world better.

2)As with any growth, things will fall to the human norm. It's fine, but thank you for fighting the good fight, I know it's not said much, but thank you.

3)Best on the new round of funding, yall worked hard and you deserve it.

4)I came to HN to escape reddit, actually. Yes, I'm in a ton of subs and it helps, but I also like seeing what other people are talking about. I find the content here better, though it is falling behind too. It helps me escape my 'filter bubble'. I've no idea how to keep the rice and throw the husk, but keep working on it, I believe in you guys.

5)Quick note, everytime I try to post in a sub I like, I get autobanned for not reading some obscure rule I can't see in my browser. It is very discouraging and leads me to firmly stay in the lurker category. Please give the mods better stuff to manage with. Also, having to read for 10 minutes to post a EE or CompSci question is tough, i just go to StackOverflow then, it turns me off.

6) Advice: Your lurkers and your posters are very different populations. Make sure to reach out to the lurkers too, as I can guess the posters are the ones that you interact with most of the time.

7) Idea: Maybe limit the group size you are in. Read the IP and tag it into 1 group or another. Put visitors in different groups automatically. I'm not saying people in cleaveland are in one group. I mean limit the size of a group of frontpages. I remember hearing that people can't remember the names of more than 150 people close to them. My idea is based on that. Force people into smaller groups where they interact. And yes, lurkers would be a problem here. It makes a big site small.
There isn't another workable definition of the word. Maybe you want a word like "deviant" or "degenerate".
I don't think I'll ever get an electric self-balancing unicycle, but if I did at least I would probably be satisfied that $1800 worth of work went into it.

I think they should think about the new wearable hardware that will be coming out and come up with a name that would evoke an image of working with apps in the air in front of you instead of on a screen/flat surface with a window. Like a Minority Report style interface.
The longest a group of humans have gone without depending on earth's biosphere is 2 years [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2], so I suppose you are allowed to be skeptical. I am not skeptical, let me explain why. In the biosphere 2 experiment the 8 subjects lost weight the first year as they figured out how to manage an ecosystem, but they gained weight the second year. They could have kept going for significantly longer if they wanted to.

The first step would be a colony that can produce and clean its own air and water and some of its food. This seem achievable in the near term. The second step is a full ecosystem (needs almost no nutrients from earth), which is much harder but I think biosphere 2 is a good proof of concept. Mars is much colder with less sunlight so it is a much harder problem on Mars. The finial step is an independent industrial base. You mentioned medicine, but I'm more concerned with the microprocessors to keep the automation running. Humanity can survive without medicine, and with a few easy things like penicillin we can do quite well (we can also avoid bringing the majority of diseases to Mars in the first place). Without automation I don't think one person can produce enough resource to sustain themselves in such a hostile environment.

Self-sufficiency is hard and I think a million people is a good estimation of how large a Mars colony would be before it became truly self sufficient.
Wow. There's an industry in massive need of disruption. I'm thinking a mid-range android phone + some servos + software would do the trick. Let's say one year's dev for a reasonable engineer, so $100k + $300 in parts. Make a 1-Iraq-war-day's worth, and you'd have the unit price down to hundreds of dollars, not tens of thousands.
Looks like you can host a static web site just using S3: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/WebsiteHostin...
It helps to understand that the bombs weren't aimed at Japan, in an abstract sense. They were aimed at Russia.

I was really hoping this would work on the server-side, too. It didn't. :-( Or maybe I configured something wrong?

..... console.log(obj);

Done!

Who makes the decision to contract with that one payment serivce? Is it the government? If so, is it the government that's making the bad decisions or the payment service?
Interesting article. I like that the author dares to work with guesses to come to some meaningful results.

"That’s right, on a 20 year old code base only one fifth of the code will have been created by the current team"

This resonates with a point I like to make when discussing code quality. For future teammates to be able to properly reason about and properly adapt and extend a code base, a consistent use of design patterns is desired.
Sounds cool! Just FYI, the search button on the upper left takes me to: https://coins.assembly.com/colors/null when I try to search something
Would be cool to try using a different credit card and charging it back every time. They will pay $15 - $25 per dispute.

Also would probably be fraud, and potentially impact the inmate.
Why are you trying to spread that falsehood? How is dogecoin "already the cryptocurrency of Reddit"? It wasn't created by Reddit, no one in Reddit is using it (except r/dogecoin and related subs), and it's supposed to be a joke. I don't think Reddit wants its shares to be a joke too.
The Reddit admins seem to be aware of moderation issues, but doing something to fix it would cause a shitstorm or require a major redesign of the site. A while back, they introduced a limit on the number of defaults subreddits you can mod (I think it's two or three). It's a start but it didn't do a whole lot.
Very useful, indeed.

One thing that I am missing already is searching inside the history for a specific input. There is some search facility (in vi mode, you can press / and it says that it will search), but I don't know how it works, since it gives no results.

Ok, now I see, it just marks the search results, but does not give an immediate result. That is not, what I would expect and what would be useful for me. In ksh, I believe, there was the possibility to search backwards in history and when it was performed, the most recent input line was put into the active input for replay or editing.

How are you all of you supposedly smart people (you're on hackernews - does that not mean anything anymore?) making such baseless and ignorant comments?

If you don't have a degree in a related field or haven't spent any amount of time studying disease (and no, Pandemic the game does not count) you have NO BUSINESS making comments on the preparedness of the US healthcare system - or on how the disease may affect anything.

All you are doing is spreading FUD - you are acting like Fox News and it is downright shameful.
> 95 -> 98 -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 do you see anything logical in the entire progression.

Well, no, but the progression of the DOS-based line from 3.1 on is 3.x -> 95 -> 98 -> 98SE -> Me -> <end of line>

The NT line is NT 3.1 -> NT 3.5 -> NT 4.0 -> 2000 (which was NT 5.0 in betas) -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 8.1 -> 10

If you assume that the 2000 -> XP -> Vista series conceals two major and one minor version, then the rest of the numbers make sense (until 10).
There's also the issue of waste disposal. After a patient is identified can most US hospitals handle the extra waste? I saw this (http://www.cnbc.com/id/102027557) earlier, and it sounds like the hospital in Atlanta that treated those two cases had trouble with waste disposal initially.
A good place to start is to refuse to cooperate with evil. The justice system depends on the active and passive cooperation of the general public.

Do not call the police.
If the police wish to speak with you, on any matter, politely decline.
If a known police or corrections employee tries to do business with you or at a place you work, inform them that their kind are not welcome here.

Don't underestimate the extent to which people are driven by the need to be welcomed and accepted by society. Shunning is a powerful tool of social control.

If you're more the "positive" type, consider encouraging your company to drop its official or unofficial policy against hiring felons (I'm making a reasonably safe assumption here). There are subsidies, tax credits, and insurance programs that might help your case, but it's easier to just not bother. Be the troublemaker that makes it easier to do the right thing.
But generics crosses the line because compile-time code generation is so much clearer and simpler and doesn't add any overhead to compilation times because code substitution is not compilation.
If anyone is interested in exactly how to solve Sudoku via integer programming see the following: http://www.mathworks.com.au/help/optim/ug/solve-sudoku-puzzl...

It's a very elegant solution.
Perhaps the US is different(I work in IPC in Canada), but most isolation rooms are not negative pressure capable. It is very expensive to design a room to accommodate negative pressure (separate air handling, HEPA filtered exhaust, sealing the room to the true ceiling). Most isolation rooms are designed to handle contact isolation patients, and therefore no negative pressure is needed.
I have some fast-breaking news, news clearly not know to you -- most modern computers allow you to copy sequences of text characters from one place to another. This means an article title like "CDC: First diagnosed case of Ebola in the U.S." can be copied in its entirely from the source page to HN, and serve as a correctly spelled title for your submission.
>Worse, once a sub is made a default, its quantity goes up but its quality goes down.

This seems to be almost universally true for any online community. As a userbase widens, content quality and even social dynamics become diluted to some extent towards a general population baseline.

As a mod of /r/changemyview (153k subscribers), we have discussed opting out of becoming a default sub if we were approached by the reddit admins. We already continuously struggle to maintain sub quality, given 50k subscriber growth in the last 9 months, though we have seen some success with our small set of very well-defined, strict, and heavily enforced rules.
S3 lets you essentially park a domain on a bucket and serve files from the URL, including .html. No additional httpd needed.
I've always been interested in the Downtown Project but haven't had a chance to visit. Can someone more familiar with it comment on the state of download Las Vegas now?
Even if you had, they weren’t contagious at that point. Sigh.
I don't understand. Why can't the state let a bank put a bloody ATM (or several) in a common area, and let the inmates use debit cards?

My blood pressure was shooting up as I read that article. I don't mind people charging a fee for providing better service. But in this case, this human leech is just spreading more misery. Why must these people abuse others this way? I hope, when he is on his deathbed, this fucker suffers the most unimaginable amount of pain for a long time.
Honest question here. What specifically did you dislike about my original comment?
If AIDS mutates and becomes airborne, that would also be threatening. Ditto for hantavirus, hepatitis and millions of other diseases. Heck, imagine if black widow venom become airborne and victims started producing more airborne venom themselves! If you're willing to dip into the pool of things that are vanishingly unlikely, there are lots of extremely bad things that could happen.
Yeah it wins over Java 1.5, but it looses against so many 80's and 90's languages, which offer all of that and, wait for it...., generics.
> All it takes is one of those mutations to make the virus airborne, and we're in big trouble.

Except that the mutation to go from a fluid to airborne virus isn't one mutation it's lots of mutations and that is simple not what we see happening in general.

The common cold could mutate into a super deadly virus but it doesn't, Flu usually doesn't either but rarely does (you want to see a genuinely terrifying virus at work read the accounts of the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak, that thing took down the young and strong in days).

Containment is important to prevent the spread via fluid contact.

This "if X then if Y then if C then if D then Global Collapse" scaremongering helps absolutely no one.
Start out by talking to your local representative. Raise the issue with them and keep at it. Encourage others to talk to your rep or the reps in their area.
Obviously, the getUserMedia aspect of the project can't be done server-side, but we can look into supporting the existing video->GIF and images->GIF logic.
People should be able to critically appraise the source of the comments.
The problem I see here is that the inmates and their families don't have a word to say in what company is managing the prison logistics.

The ones who decide are the prisons themselves, so they don't care if the inmates and their families get even more milked, all they are incentivized to care is their commissions (so JPay and consorts are encouraged to milk even more the inmates to please the authorities).

So it's an example where the free market doesn't work.
pre-Java 1.5 already had all of that.
It may not be airborne but it's still highly infectious and you need proper facilities for that, a private room alone is not enough for that. A lot of hospitals, at least smaller ones, are unable to handle such diseases.

In any case containing a patient you know has ebola, is the least of the problems. Ebola symptoms are not exactly distinctive and if you don't have reason to suspect ebola, it may very well be able to spread before it can be contained.
So much attention was paid to the physical formatting of the report -- yet so little information conveyed. And conveyed poorly. Not a single infographic or graph, even. Just tables.

There's over 50 years of colonization of Antarctica, and that's not self-sufficient. Tristan da Cunha, one of the most inaccessible permanently occupied places on the Earth, depends on the UK for support when there are major infrastructure failures.

These are successful, by at least some definitions, but are not self-sufficient. Why are you more optimistic about a Mars colony than our experience with places on Earth which are much less inaccessible and more inhabitable might suggest?
