> therefore automatic conversions that try to make this distinction do not make sense.

You have to convert it somewhere. I don't see how the caller converting it is any better than the recipient doing it. Having the caller do it seems quite pointless when the recipient is anyway doing it.

Your answer about how everything is bits was quite useless since you completely missed the point. Your input is a string, you have to convert it someplace. Weak mode has the recipient do it. Strict mode you have to do it yourself, and then the recipient double checks.

I see no value in the second option - the actual conversion in both cases is identical.

But Danack disagrees, so I asked him to explain. Your answer was not helpful at all.
IANAL, but I have worked on surveillance software. As far as I understand it would be virtually impossible for them to legally have a microphone running without you explicitly activating it. Signing the rental agreement is not explicit enough since other people could be traveling in the car and the definition of "consent" varies significantly between jurisdictions.

A brief note: my partner's life was changed by access to Medicare. She has a common genetic condition that, had it continued to go untreated, would have left her crippled, unable to work, and in chronic pain within just a few more years. (She is 32). But the progress of the disease can be halted with medication. As it is, her life has been redeemed, yet she will still live with pain and impairment that could have been avoided if she could have received treatment as soon as symptoms started.

My point is, it's unfortunate for you that you have to pay more. I hear you. But if money is the biggest thing you're worrying about, you've got it good. Do you _deserve_ to be healthy, when others are not? Did you earn your good genes? To put it bluntly, my partner's basic ability to function is more important than your kid's leg up in the economy known as a college fund.

Look, your premiums are too damned high, it's true. The US spends an absurd amount on healthcare, with price gouging and profiteering on all levels. Obamacare was the politically-possible bandaid on this system. We should use it as a stepping stone to something that brings both cost and care into line. Even so, health is a value categorically above money, and it's important to keep that in mind.

Science is not a democracy. There no such thing as science consensus, that is absolutely ridiculous and one more added to the fallacies around the issue. If all living things and the non-living things as well decide there is no gravity, we won't start floating just because 200% of the scientists or whatever got to a consensus that there is no such thing as gravity!

It only take one counter argument to debunk a theory. The defenders of the AGW cannot prove their argument (burden of the proof) and so use of fallacies (ad hominem arguments and others) to keep their farce. I don't know their reasons; but their "scientific" arguments has no ground!
SLA is layered, each layer a knife sweeps over it and refills and smooths the uncured resin layer. This is submerged, so drawing the parts upwards pulls in more fluid automatically so everything can be run continuously. What I don't get is that, hydraulically most of the liquid pulled in is going to come from the oxygenated layer. But I'm guessing that reacts with the resin and neutralizes quickly when it is too far from the diffusion membrane that provides the source of new oxygen.

It's not subjective. Intel's guidelines for writing vectorizable code:

Prefer array notation to the use of pointers. C programs in particular impose very few restrictions on the use of pointers; aliased pointers may lead to unexpected
dependencies. Without help, the compiler often cannot tell whether it is safe to vectorize code containing pointers.

The ozone anomaly is still there. CFC gases has never really harmed it because those gases are heavier than the air, so it is a bit hard (not impossible, though) for them to get up there. The "hole" has always been over the poles because, obviously, there's no much sun rays there, which are required for the formation and un-formation of the ozone in the first place.

As to the relation of the subjects, I have seem many of the AGW defenders to claim that CFC, HFC and all the other gazes they claim is harmful to the "ozone" also are "greenhouse gases", which as I said before is a complete stupidity.

Well the landlord benefits from Prop 13 which is basically "rent control for property owners", so the landlord should really forward that pie and letter of gratitude to the California taxpayers who are subsidizing him.

Nintendo and DeNA Partnership Announcement
This is a topic I've thought a lot about ... here's a strawperson proposal that might incite some discussion, though it's by no means a panacea: http://pgbovine.net/undergrad-course-limits.htm
And don't forget: Prop 13 is a subsidy to current landowners, paid by every other Californian taxpayer.
I wonder if google search could pass this interview.
The problem with that line of reasoning is that 15% increase isn't immediately available to the homeowner. To turn that into cash, they have to move. I imagine many homeowners could simply just not afford an uncapped property tax hike.

Part of the attraction of homeownership is security, in that homeowners aren't subject to fluctuations in the rental market. Prop 13 helps to reinforce that security, delaying the property tax increases to the point where the homeowner would be able to afford them -- at moving time. It's certainly not perfect, but I'm not convinced repealing prop 13 is the answer.

Perhaps a hybrid approach: live-in owners are subject to prop 13 caps on increases, but rental properties are not? Coupled with a repeal or loosening of rent control would allow landlords to pass on at least some of that cost increase to renters, which I think is a reasonable thing. Again, not perfect, but perhaps an improvement.
> The point they make in the article is that the rich are going to move to SF anyway

That's what I'm actually unsure about. The article states it as a given without data or addressing regional effects. There are at least some well-to-do individuals who would purchase non-luxury housing in the North Bay, Berkeley, and the Peninsula rather than SF proper. You can obviously point to activity in places like the Mission and Bernal Heights, but at least some of the demand for unbuilt SF waterfront condos is going to go to the Oakland waterfront rather than something more inland. You can re-model your home, but you can't re-model your neighborhood.

Even if gentrification is a given though, the timing isn't. SF interest groups are pretty good at slowing things down (whether that's new development or a purchase and re-model). Presumably there's some difference in utility to the rich of buying luxury housing and buying non-luxury housing and remodeling it (otherwise there wouldn't be much demand for luxury housing). That's leverage the poor have in extracting some kind of negotiated benefit, like better public transit, education rights, re-distributive taxes, and so forth.
Simple and so efficient at the same time. I really enjoy using it !
And their echo chamber reinforces the practice.

>"We have a network of dietitians we work with," said Sheidler [a "Coca-cola spokesman"], who declined to say how much the company pays experts. "Every big brand works with bloggers or has paid talent."

Every big brand does it, therefore it is acceptable and expected. Sure, we might be dishonest, misleading, and hide behind self-proclaimed experts, but, shit, how could we justify being a BIG BRAND if we didn't?
Philly also has a burgeoning tech scene. Not of the same size, scope, or influence as SV, to be sure. But a lot better than it was even 5 years ago.
> If we are being idiomatic I would suggest pointer arithmetic to iterate instead of using a counter i.

Well, the CVE guys need to keep their job.
This isn't a convincing argument. Regardless of the rates paid by the people in rent control apartments, unless they vacate, the supply doesn't increase, so the market isn't changed at all.

Since new buildings aren't rent controlled in SF, there is no discouragement to building due to rent control.

The real answer is just geometry. SF is geographically constrained in such a way that there isn't really a way to build more housing within commuting distance. A city like Omaha (or even Berlin) has the available land go up with the square of the commuting time. SF has the land available for development go up roughly linearly (the valley doesn't get much wider until all the way to San Jose)

The way to lower housing costs is to increase the available housing as a function of commuting time. The easiest way to do this is high speed rail.

It's not a coincidence that all the communities in the valley have fought tooth and nail against high speed rail.

http://www.cahsrblog.com/2011/04/anti-hsr-activism-is-a-rich...

Once it becomes possible to get to SF from Gilroy in 40 minutes, tons of housing will be built far from the city, where land is available and cheap. People won't have to choose between paying a huge premium to avoid a long commute, or spending 3 hours of every day sitting in a car.

This is economics 101. The marginal property is south of San Jose, and the premium for living in SF is about 2 hours * 20 days of commute time a month, which if you are making $200k per year is about $4166 of lost time per month, assuming a 40 hour work week and ability to convert that time into salary (a bad assumption, but this is the actual analysis to figure out how much more prices should be in SF, it just doesn't factor everything in appropriately). It's not a coincidence that this is roughly the difference in rental costs between these two areas.
Yes, but this stems from the fact, that people continue to bend the whole stack for what it wasn't designed to be in first place.

Show HN: How to solve the Rubiks Cube
There's a curious distinction in the uproar between scandals in tech and in other sectors. One obvious thought is that I'm mostly finding myself in tech-oriented crowds, thus I find them more exhilarating . I have to admit to myself that when I read this headline I wasn't the least surprised. I mean "of course they do that, they're old school! McDonalds, pepsi, tobacco, they're all money grubbing and soulless!"
Apparently I actually believe tech companies are capable of changing and somewhat try to do good. Perhaps because I have an actual (though imaginary) relationship to the people who run google/apple/msft. The fact that a lot of you guys work there probably enforces that; I do not and will never know anyone working for Coca Cola, for whatever reason.

I wonder if that's two different, calculated strategies employed by the different sectors respectively.

Repealing both would likely result in massive wealth transfer from renters to the government, though, with the landlord just being the conduit, yeah? The only way to avoid that would be to repeal prop 13 and keep rent control, but that's also unfair, as it tells landlords "hey, we're going to increase your costs, but give you no ability to recoup those costs".

With medicine, you really don't have time to go Google something. Even in a slow-paced assessment, you need to gather data quickly and effectively, and make decisions. Patients might in the future be happy filling out long series of probing questions and then waiting for a few hours/days while someone does some Googling, but I doubt it. The practice of medicine by human Doctors probably can't be much further optimized from what it is right now.

Sorry, and I know you're probably predisposed to disbelieve me since I started off with a crappy tone, but I'm honestly not trying to be a pedant here.

I truly believe that most people (at least who live in SF; I can't speak for other cities) would not consider a rental "temporary" to the degree that you seem to be thinking. Whether or not they should is another matter, but I think the state of rentals here -- especially among rent-controlled units -- serves only to reinforce the belief that a rental can (and "should") be as permanent as the renter wants it to be. And it's a feedback loop: people believe this because of renter protections, which causes them to believe and fight for (and often get) even stronger renter protections, which allows their rental status to become even more "permanent", and so on.

Again, not saying it's right (or wrong), but I can easily see how the sentiment in SF is that renting need not be a permanent thing.
