I got slapped in the face by my 4th grade teacher once.
This was back when schools had windows and so there was this kid bouncing one of those red "kick ball" balls on a sidewalk right outside my window. I couldn't concentrate on what I was doing so I got up, went to the window and said some pretty naughty things. My teacher marched right over and laid her hand across my face.
My father just smiled when he heard about it and told me I got what I deserved.
I was all "yes, ma'am" and "no, ma'am" to her from then on.
There may not be a cliff, but if you look at http://www.advancedfertility.com/ivf-age.htm you can see that the IVF success rate is halved going from 30 years old to 40, and then halves twice more by age 44. If you are going to need help with fertility -- and lots of women do -- you are vastly better off discovering it at 30 than at 40.

(Re: the article, the interesting question then becomes how much of that decline is due to reduced egg quality. If that's a major issue, then freezing eggs at 30 might be a huge win.)

Yes, right now it would seem impossible and browsers would have to support backwards compatibility. What I'm saying is let browsers still support regular html sites. In addition though, be able to specify a 'javascript app'. I see no limiting reason in modern browsers why this would be an issue. At some point, the web has to move forward and say, 'sorry, if you are not running JS, we can't really support you'. Yes, I know the backlash that would come, but we've got to move forward, maybe there is a better way? I'm not sure.

(My project does not require supporting anything below IE 11, it's the greatest blessing, ever.)

Interesting. The basic percussive, vocal and guitar riffs are clearly based off the original, though the modern version is more polished and better packaged. The lyrics are definitely different between the two, changing the meaning and full structure of the song.

I'm not sure this justifies a copyright infringement, particularly in the era of remixes. If we can legally use actual samples of another song to build your own, why is a re-imagining which builds upon and modifies the original illegal?
It is cheating. The rules are quite clear, and these groups break those rules in a way that gives them an immediate and direct advantage over students who don't break the rules. The rules themselves may be subject to debate, but that these people engage in cheating really isn't.

They don't blow any curves necessarily but they do appear to be smarter or more able, and that impacts everything from teaching assignments to thesis committee solicitation.

Ask HN: How is it fair that companies ask candidates to spend hours on a task?
Almost every job opportunity has a technical task attached to it, many of which require a significant amount of time to complete and some of which are open ended in such a way that they encourage candidates to spend as much time as possible to get an edge over the competition.

Companies say that they enjoy seeing candidates that have open source contributions, but what is the point if they end up being judged solely on their work on the task they are being asked to do for free?

It seems so wrong to me to ask people to spend so much of their time doing this work for what is at best a chance at a job offer.

Why is this acceptable?

To clarify, I am not completely against giving out tasks but asking people to spend 4+ hours is too much.

That picture of students hanging from the windows of exam hall is hilarious and sad. Though it is not representational of India on the whole. The state of Bihar has been notorious when it comes to 'cheating' in exams (besides heightened levels of crimes in every other field).

The title of the article leaves a bad taste in the mouth. The premier universities in India have a much more robust system of conducting exams. More than a decade ago, the exam paper was supposedly leaked before the exam. The exam, which is conducted all over India, was cancelled and re-conducted. That was quite a feat.

However, on the -ve side, there are political leaders who have encouraged 'cheating' by abolishing laws against such acts.
As if RT is in any way worse than, say, CNN.

My Russian friends would probably laugh at what you're saying. You have to be very, very naive about what's happening in Russia these days to have that impression.
The Model S actually doesn't do well on a track at all. Not because of any weight/handling issues (i'm actually not sure about how it handles), but because of overheating.

The electric motors can't dissipate heat that quick, and if the engines are run at "full throttle" for too long it will slow performance significantly to keep from overheating.

In reality this means you can't really complete a lap or 2 of most tracks.

In South Africa some universities have introduced cameras into exam halls, but cheating is probably rampant at those that haven't. I've been in an exam where people in the next row (teachers no less, doing what seemed like an easy exam) were blatantly cheating. First world notions of "honour" and "integrity" don't gel well with third world aspirations.

Oh and South African Indian students (in the country for generations, and affluent relative to the rest of the population) are amongst the biggest cheats. A BCom (commerce) degree held by an Indian graduate from the the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) is something to be viewed with great suspicion.
I decided to post this anonymously. I am a professor at a major CS program in the united states. And we have a very serious cheating problem with indian students. It's clearly cultural. We also see cheating at a fairly high rate among the chinese and students from a handful of middle eastern countries, but the indian students are way out in front: it drives our indian faculty nuts.

It seems that indian students have instilled in them a drive to help pull one another out of the abyss. This is probably a noble, and perhaps critical, characteristic for survival in a third world country. But for exams and particularly projects in US institutions, it translates directly into a high degree of unethical plagiarism and cheating. It damages the reputation of the department and the diplomas of our non-cheating students. We do not know what to do about it.

I used to hold up the American students as the example to follow, since for decades they have had instilled in them basic notions about the ethics of cheating. But that's changing too: the millennials cheat at a much, much higher rate than Americans did before. Helicopter parenting? Changes in school culture? I don't know, but we have a big, big problem there as well.

* Edit. Just to make it clear for those who would like to say "well, the Americans do it too now". While it's true the millennials cheat a lot more than Americans did in the past, it's still a very small fraction of the rate we're seeing in the indian students.
> Yup or .Net with its MSIL. Then they could change the JavaScript standard every year if they wanted to and it wouldn't matter as it would compile to the same byte code.

Not sure why you need byte code for that. You could just have a relatively stable base JS standard as the common target, and then a more rapidly changing set of advanced/experimental JS features implemented through compilers for the resulting, enhanced, JS+extra features languages that compile back to base JS. Heck, you could do the same thing for lots of other, non-JS languages that compile to base JS. In fact, that's exactly what is done today.

Byte code isn't magic, its just another language you have to write an interpreter for -- just not a human-readable one.

The flat screens are airline dependent. They were fantastic on Norwegian.

Overall I'm a fan of the Dreamliner (only 2 flights, a roundtrip on Norwegian). Seats were reasonably comfortable, even for economy on a budget airline. The big windows are nice. It was definitely quieter and (placebo?) the air did feel less gross.

Downsides: The arm rest didn't fully rise out of the way, so it's no good for sleeping on your partner's shoulder. The not-fully-dimming windows were a little annoying, but also really neat.

Yet, alongside XHTML it would allow to move HTML to a proper layout engine like most native GUIs have, instead of the hack-a-mole we have to deal with.
You are correct: MIG is designed to prevent a rogue investigator from executing random commands on systems. We do so by filtering what agents can run through modules, and by requiring OpenPGP signatures on all actions ran.

Even if the MIG platform is compromised, agents and systems are safe, as long as the keys of authorized investigators (kept on their laptops) are not compromised.
Ok, but I still am not clear about how this would affect the GPA of students who don't cheat.

This is why you don't let "Editor-In-Chief" do web development. Sounds to me like someone's too lazy to learn JavaScript. When will people stop trying to make HTML into an all-in-one product? It was built to be simple, to provide markup and that's it. That's the magic behind the troika of HTML-JS-CSS. They all deal with individual, meaningful functions to make a site work. Blending function with markup is just bad coding. Thumbs down.
They make a bridge without cars and they only give the pedestrians 4 ft for 2 ways? That's preposterous. What's wrong is that it isn't wide enough. Maybe I can get an upvote by someone from Europe where they have bridges that are wide and pleasant to walk across.

>If you are intelligent you won't work for someone else for no reason.

"Someone else" is a flexible mental construct. If you considered humans to be part of your 'self identity', you would work for them regardless.

>When computers build computers, they will evolve.

And how will they know which of those new computers to run and which to trash? They have to evaluate their function using their current implementation. That's just continuity.

Humans are the same way: we can't tell if our brains are doing the right thing except by using our brains. So you can't evade those constraints.

Think of it like this: if you are creating random functions, it is because you already value the creation of random functions. If you keep some and discard others, it is because you already value the ones you keep over the ones you discard. You always have to use your own evaluation.

The worry is not that computers will cease to value humans, but that they didn't value humans to begin with (because we didn't properly specify what a human is and how it should be valued.) You can't go from valuing humans to not valuing them without being in error.

And furthermore, as soon as a machine goes into error, we'd stop using it. If your computer decides to stop running programs and start playing tic-tac-toe all day, you'll shut it down and replace it. Useful machines will be under such scrutiny. Nobody is going to run an unreasonably powerful machine and not monitor it regularly.

In this sense, it is like a regular employee at a business. If they decide that their time is better spent not working, you can just fire them and move on.
Remixes pay copyright royalties.
Apple's reputation when it comes to customisation is not entirely deserved. What's true for iOS, isn't really for OSX. I'd say the gradient goes something like KDE > Windows > OSX > Gnome > Unity. When you go through OSX's system preferences there's quite a lot of options, plus there's tons of hidden ones accessible through the terminal and the very effective defaults system inherited from NeXT.
You'd need to bring the metal up before anyway, in that case. It doesn't really solve the major problem.

I always found cheating to be much easier at US universities than back in the UK. Although maybe this was only my personal experience.

In the US you could often sit anywhere you liked in exams and have anything on you (cheat sheets were allowed for many exams, which I thought was an interesting concept to say the least).

In the UK, at least at my university, you had to leave all of your belongings by the side of the room and were only allowed a pen (and whatever else you needed for writing). Even your pockets had to be empty. It was also in a massive room with empty desks around you and a massive amount of space between every student as well as a handful of supervisors walking around making sure nothing fishy is going on. It definitely felt like a much more serious event than any exam I ever took in the US.

Thermal radiation is an order of magnitude less efficient than other forms of heat transfer, but it gets the job done. It helps that you're radiating to the dead of space, which is near absolute zero (efficiency is dependent on the black-body temperature of what you're radiating "to").

That's the why the radiators have to be so huge, and are kept out of direct sunlight.
No one will force you to use it, browsers have always been reasonably backwards compatible, except regarding stuff like ActiveX, applets, and HSTS.
When MIG was started, in the summer of 2013, Rust was still too unstable to be a good candidate. Go, however, already had the toolkit to build cross-platform agents, so I went with this.

18 months in, I still think it was the right choice. Go is extremely powerful and yet simple enough for contributors to pick it up in a matter of days. I don't think we could have delivered as much value going with Rust, it's still too young and lack the necessary libraries (AMQP, OpenPGP, etc...).
So basically the intelligent cruise-control that Mercedes developed in the early 90s?
Have seen several tries on this approach:

- Angular seems to provide something similar already with its ng-* attributes and directives.

- JavaServer Faces also do the same thing, where a server-side controller is bound to HTML or UI widgets (and skip writing CSS and JS because they're pre-styled, pre-programmed).

This works for simple stuff, but for much more complex stuff (multiple view interactions, custom views), this becomes a pain to write because you start to create workarounds for things it wasn't prepared to do.

Also, while I'm no expert, but let's just leave HTML, CSS and JS as is. You can always create a framework that provides you that same functionality. In fact, Angular has directives, React has JSX, Ember has components. Several other frameworks do it as well.

Reminds me of E4X, where they tried to bake in XML syntax into JS. This time, it's behavior and logic into the markup. Nope.
It depends on what you're looking for, of course. There are certainly a few unique features that are very nice (e.g. type providers, units of measure, etc.). Compared to Scala, there's much better type inference and more of an emphasis on the functional as opposed to object-oriented side, though both languages support both paradigms (and Scala supports things like higher-kinded types which F# lacks). Compared to other ML-family languages, F# has broader access to libraries thanks to its very nice .NET interoperability (but much weaker support for true ML-style modules). F#'s tooling is also much better than that of most functional languages (especially on Windows via Visual Studio, but people seem very happy with the tooling on Linux with Mono, too).

But personally the thing I most like about F# is the community.
