I think there is probably some sort of reasonable argument for governments to undevelop undesirable housing (i.e., with a bulldozer, and some sort of modest but reasonable recompense to the current owner).

The very idea makes us gnash our teeth, but over decades, just getting rid of unsustainable/poor/etc. housing will likely be a net benefit to society.

The idea behind idempotence is that you can apply multiple times, in any order, and still come up with the same result. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence

If you say, "Buy_first_Milk" and "Buy_Second_Milk" - and the order is reversed, and the "Buy_Second_Milk" is applied first, and the "Buy_first_milk" is applied twice then everything happens as desired.

Being explicit is what allows everything to work without confusion.
Spaced repetition algorithms and programs are a godsend. Org-drill and diligence has increased my retained knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, mathematics, and logic.

Other people probably use Mnemosyne which is great but having space repetition in Emacs? Org-mode? Capturing notes to-read or facts from the web that I want to remember and automatically putting it into my drill sequence? Definitely not rote - deliberate, yes.
I hated that so much on my Lenovo work laptop. I kept hitting the buttons accidentally. I hated it right up to the point where I got a new laptop, and suddenly I realized how often I used those keys, and now I miss them.
+1 indeed, but I think most of people have already a hard time to see why we need to make the difference between country code and language code, and even more that something that people consider as a "dialect" can actually be a totally different language (for example in China a lot of "dialect/fangyang" are actually not dialect of Mandarin, for example Shanghainese (Wu language) and languages from Hunan province)

after you can also try to explan them that the common "represent a language by a flag" becomes quickly broken and subject to strong arguing between people (what flag do you put for Tibetan language for example? or for each of Indian languages)

Interesting!

Sometimes it gets it almost right: I tried with this piece of text in Catalan (Balear variant) and it classifies it as Portuguese (with Catalan as 2nd option): "I s'horabaixa la deixam passar i me mires tan a prop que me fa mal, que surt es sol i encara plou, que t'estim massa i massa poc, que no sé com ho hem d'arreglar, que som amics, que som amants."

It's strange, because it's pretty different from Portuguese...

What you described is not redundancy. In your situation if 1 of the 2 data centers went down you would still have a blackout somewhere. In a truly redundant setup the load would be shifted to the redundant center with minimal interruption to the customer (airspace).

What I liked about her lecture is that unlike the previous ones that were full of general ideas about starting a startup, she related her practical advice to her own experiences and the mistakes she made. Examples are very useful and for me they ingrain the underlying ideas to a greater extent. Also learning about what not to do is just as, if not more important (see PG's lecture of counterintuitive parts of startups) than learning about what to do.
How? If Gaza was democratic, like before the 2007 Hamas coop d'etat, I can see how educated people would help.How would they matter? i'm pretty sure if you asked today, almost everyone in Gaza would prefer the Hamas to just go away.

If we judge from history, what they need now is some sort of civil war.

> Last time I checked, mildly smart home "robots", like automatic cookers, dishwashers, washing machines, even vacuum cleaners sold rather well, and were widely adopted. The smart devices, paradoxically, liberate you from thinking about dull details: you just put some clothes into a washing machine, press a button explaining approximately what type of clothes are there, and walk away. The machine figures the rest.

I'm in the UK, and am rather middle-class, sort of. At the least, we don't have to worry about money much, and if I want to travel half way across the UK, I don't have to think much about it. I've just booked a film a day for the next week at a film festival.

On the other hand... I've literally never seen smart versions of these machines. I've barely ever seen a dishwasher outside a bar or restaurant, I've never seen an "automatic cooker", washing machines are generally much the same as they were 20 years ago, and robot vacuum cleaners are decidedly still a futuristic thing - most vacuum cleaners are, at their core, the same sort of thing we had 20 years ago with a new shell.

Perhaps these things are a lot more common in the US, and possibly in more upmarket parts of the UK, but I'd quite happily suggest that the vast majority of people are not aching to buy a smarter washing machine.
You should cite your data sources better. Might seem minor, but as an academic I am immediately turned off when I see sites/services not describing and ideally linking to their data sources. See Quandl for a site doing this pretty well.
The only cheat sheet I remember using was http://www.viemu.com/vi-vim-cheat-sheet.gif when I was learning vim.

Otherwise just googling a quick answer seems most efficient (or quickly searching through the code).
From an economics point of view, it matters whether the water utility has a monopoly. If the people who would end up paying the higher rates have difficulty switching to a different competitor utility, then the incentive to invest in providing more water cheaper is not there. This is generally why many basic utilities, like water and electricity are highly regulated. I don't know much about California's water utilities though, so maybe the competition is in fact there.
I've seen similar plans for electricity. The more you use the higher the price goes. For an average persons use the price would be the same (or even lower than previous depending on the scale).
For each individual customer, it's a minor inconvenience. Oh no, I have to get a new card and change my payments setup on Amazon. Once that's done, I don't care anymore.

What I'd really like to see is code that takes a body of text and extracts parts that are written in another language.

That's quite common, like in mixed-language IRC channels, quotes from English documents in documents mostly written in another language, and so on.

And stemming and indexing such a document for full text search usually gives crappy results.

(Bonus points of detecting programming code samples, so that this part isn't stemmed at all).
> Being able to unplug a keyboard and plug it back in again while the PC/server is on without the PC/server freezing is a pretty significant benefit.

What are you doing where being able to hotplug keyboards frequently is a "pretty significant benefit"? If you are working with multiple servers a KVM switch is a better solution.

(The problem with hotplugging PS/2 was that it originally wasn't designed for that so the interface lacked the necessary protection components, but more recently manufacturers have been realising that it's far cheaper to add the protection components than deal with returns from those who either accidentally or purposefully hotplug PS/2. There's still considerable variance between when manufacturers did this, so it's still officially "not supported" but recent motherboards and keyboards/mouses should be robust enough to handle the occasional hotplug.)

The PC spec also only allows for 2 PS/2 ports and no more: one for a keyboard and one for a mouse. They use the same physical protocol so no catastrophic effects from putting in two keyboards/mouses or switching them around, but they just won't work since the commands are slightly different; some newer motherboards with a single PS/2 port can detect whether a mouse or keyboard has been plugged into it, and configure accordingly.
This is a problem of zero rain, not water consumption. These people are living out in an area where there is no municipal water hookup. If you have never lived in a rural area with no municipal water, or never lived on a farm, or never been real poor then I can see how your post might seem like a great solution to you. The fact of the matter is that there has been a drought for 3 years and this area happens to be one of the hardest hit. Their lack of water is because the rain hasn't come to replenish the ground water.

You make some very qualifying statements.... Would you like to provide evidence that farmers pay too little for water? That they use too much water? And what is this gigantic portion of water consumption that you are referring to? I mean, they do kind of need to use water to grow their respective foods... sooooo I guess I wonder what world you expect to live in where farmers don't use more water than the average person?
NY to Atlanta on a visit from the UK - about 1995:

* Train hits a tree on the line and grinds to a halt near Philadelphia. After about 30 minutes, the conductor announces that they have tried plugging some of the holes in an air tank (brakes, presumably) with wood, but it hasn't worked (!!!) so we'll have to wait for the following train and change on to it - we have broken down on a section of double track so the next train pulls alongside.

* Made it to Washington on a really packed train. We are due to have the dining car hitched up to us here, but it has an electrical fault so nope - no cooked food for the journey! Delays while faulty car unhitched.

* Drunk woman staggers through train shouting 'Goddamn it, has anyone got a Budweiser and a Cigarette!'

* (Still in Washington) Drunk woman and a man she met are hauled off the train by police for getting a bit too..er..'romantic' in a corridor!

* Outskirts of Atlanta - running slow for some reason - we hit a man walking to work down the track. Train stops and we can see police, fire and ambulance out the window. Man is hauled off to hospital by police and paramedics with nothing more than badly cut arm. Conductor announces that the man didn't hear us coming and has apologized for the delay he has caused.

* Made it to Atlanta station - receive phone call from the people picking us up...they have never used the train and don't know where the station is. We give directions.
The 60% threshold for the single-language scripts seems to be way low for CJK languages. And your method to calculate the occurrence ratio is flawed.

CJK scripts and languages tend to be relatively more concise (in terms of # of Unicode codepoints) than many other languages, so it is possible that the ratio of CJK scripts over non-CJK scripts can be lower than the average. And the occurrence ratio is currently calculated over the number of characters including non-letters, making the ratio much lower. Maybe the custom threshold per script based on the actual corpus (90th percentile, maybe?) and better occurrence calculation would improve the detection on those languages.
for the case of "one sentence detection" you can use Tatoeba project database dump http://tatoeba.org/eng/downloads

you have a CSV of iso code => sentence , which should be 99% accurate (as it gets user proofed), so on in which you can compare your tool with.

I think for longer text one could use Wikipedia dump or alike ?

Naive bayes is just a couple of lines of code (less than what you have now for sure). The trained model is not bigger than what you currently have either.

Although I don't need a test suite to confidently say that L1 distance is going to be worse than naive bayes, it would indeed be good if you had a test suite!

We already have a test suite with 1 example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8405180

The commenter spelled correctly in the GP of the comment where it was wrongly spelled. But you probably knew that...

I tried to not read the rest, so I would be tempted to discuss your claims.

(If Hamas organize quite independent cells, it is hard to not claim responsibility when those cells do what they usually do. Hamas really have a long history of making heroes out of people targeting civilians. You might also note that the ones that did a revenge murder will end up in jail. Then we might comment on the hypocrisy of first shooting (at civilians!) from civilian areas -- then blaming the other side when return fire kills civilians...)
I would love to read that, you should definitely do it. Where in the UK did you travel?
Does anyone know what this means? Can you explain it to an old C++ hacker? Near the end, it looks like "ubiquitous language" (UL) is being used to generate API function signatures. Is that how UL connects the business reqs to the implementation?
Yes, there is a significant difference: although the quasiparticle shows the same behavior as the 'real' particle in some respects, it shows different behavior in other respects.

For instance, the quasiparticle can be destroyed by the addition of some heat to the system, while a 'bare' Majorana fermion would not cease to exist in the presence of that amount of energy.

Analogy: in certain measurements (e.g. distribution of reflected light frequencies), a red circle is indistinguishable from a red sphere. However, in other respects (e.g. distribution of reflected light intensity), they are quite different.
This argument seems to be whether Ulbricht was acting immorally though, not if the "War on Drugs" should vanish. I think it's quite clear that Ulbricht deserves prosecution considering how he put hits on 2 people without hesitation, and even believed that the 2 hits were carried out successfully still without hesitation.

I thought it was a foregone conclusion that the NSA uses its massive surveillance network to do traffic analysis on all entrance and exit nodes.

What we're seeing here is called "parallel construction". The FBI was given this illegally obtained surveillance data, made the arrest, and then needed to make up a lie as to how they really found him.
I'm mostly an L3 guy who mixes up a little with L2 - but all on the deployment/Ops. The real magic is done by our Routing and MAC engineers who have been coxing the mesh technology along for the last 10 years.

How soon until ALL database fields that contain personal information are encrypted so that if a hacker gains access to the data it is useless without the programs to actually access it? Why aren't we encrypting addresses, and SSN, and email, and phone number? Is this information not as important as a CC number? I think that we are starting to see that this might be almost as important if not on equal footing as our CC numbers.
I really hope they succeed too. I also do really hope that both sides agree to roll back the versioning on the borders to what was established soon 70 years ago.

Valid point, but you are implying market rate, or what someone is willing to pay for an item. I am merely suggesting that the water rate reflect the cost of goods sold, where that cost includes the implementation of a more robust and sustainable network to prevent bone dry water sources. No market gouging, just proper long term planning.
If it's raised for everyone one that's just not true. For the very poor even a small increase in their bills could have huge implications that you and I just can't appreciate. And they're the ones who can't necessarily just pack up and leave because they don't have the resources to.

Raising the rates for the right parties is what we should really be talking about but the question then is, who? Small farms and industry would be hit very hard but the ones with deep pockets likely wouldn't blink and they're the biggest problem.

In my opinion it would need to be a sliding scale. Not just a "$x for n gallons" pricing structure but the more you use the greater the cost per gallon. That would hit the biggest users the hardest while leaving the average person unaffected (unless for some reason they're using absurd amounts in which case they need to be affected).

I don't know your card-usage habits, but if it was triggered by a jail phone operator within the US, it's much more likely your account information was taken at an unrelated time/event than this breach.

If stealing card/account information was their goal, there are a lot easier ways to do it. Any time you use your card at a non-official ATM, put it down to pay at a restaurant or even not shredding any mail with account information, you're putting yourself at risk. Heck, account information can be social engineered out of people quite easily as well - your particular usage habits could have nothing to do with it.

Sounds great, if I have a private well. (The people in this article have a private well.) It forces everyone else to pay for higher water rates so that my free well has more water.

Therefore, won't increasing the rates simply encourage more people to build a private well and avoid the fees when, say, watering the lawn?

In Israel, the public, through the government, owns the water sources. A quick and shallow search finds https://wrrc.arizona.edu/awr/f09/ownership :

> Schorr believes that the Israeli system, at least in theory, is ideally suited to protect the natural environment. Environmental woes, however, beset the country. Due to falling water tables or surface diversions nearly all the streams, including the Jordan below the Sea of Galilee, have been dried up. Some serve as sewage canals causing extensive damage to flora and fauna, The levels of the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee are dropping precipitously. Falling water tables in the Coastal Aquifer have caused saltwater incursions. Clearly there is a theory-practice disconnect in Israeli water law. ...

> He finds that the public food is generally motivating Israeli water policy less than the interest of a particular sector: agriculture. The state might officially own water, but officials are allocating the water in response to agricultural interests.

I know nothing of the veracity of that statement.
