In my little world "Rent-Seeking" individuals have always been around. Personally, I couldn't stomach making money off the poor, animals, or the environment, but for some people it just doesn't matter how they make their money. "If it's legal, I see nothing wrong with it?". They are in such denial, some think they are cute? The one's in my little world think no one knows, but we do know. You can be the Doctor who charges too much for addictive meds, the non-profit director who makes a very comfortable living off other people misery.(free preview Guidestar.), or the rich kid who made millions off plastic tooth picks(which don't decompose) and moved to another state to get away from daddy(inventor, funder, bank, cheerleader), dodge taxes, and act like Horatio Alger.

What I want to talk about is Payday loans. We need something
else. My first introduction to these leach pits is when I drove a co-worker to the pit. She cashed a check for under $200 and was charged close to twenty dollars. (I tried to explain how she was being exploited, but she was just tired.
Tired of life. I didn't give her a lecture. It was not the time--she just climbed out of Homelessness.)

Elisabeth Warren has a good idea on replacing PayDay loans.

(Sorry about the popup, and remember Payday loans are not always dischargable in Bankruptcy court. The payday loan lender may challenge the discharge of its debt, and it might violate the law if you've written a post-dated check.)
Does Syncthing work well?
Assuming their hypothesis is correct, I'd like to know where/when the W7 molecules are breaking down. If it occurs gradually at the surface, then it may be something you can treat topically with soaps or creams.
I played around with this a few years back when looking at build tools. strace is ungodly slow, and I wouldn't recommend using this for anything real. When I looked into why, it's basically the time it takes to print and read from strace - printing to stdout every time there is a syscall is obviously very slow.

Instead you can use tup, though someone mentioned it now requires Fuse, which obviously isn't good. So instead you can use an LD_PRELOAD to record all the file accesses, which is what I think tup used to do.

There is also some filesystem thing added to git that let's introspect file access, though I don't recall the details.

That said, I think memoize is the first use of this technique (record actual file accesses dynamically for dependency tracking), which is utterly genius. I worked with Bill McCloskey who wrote it, and he is an incredibly smart dude. He did a lot of work on making Firefox's GC better over the last few years.
I think it should definitely get better with SSD although not sure if it would be completely OK: 500k is quite a lot, at least by v1.0 standard. Give it a try when/if you're on a SSD. Do get in touch with us (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/rscpp) if still too slow by then, we'll try to see what can be done.
yeah i did some research, should have been sent out like half an hour though right...
Having worked for a long time with block-based editors in systems like Drupal and WordPress, We've found that there is a big limitation - the editor is detached from the authoring experience. We're moving on to front-end editing, and I think most CMS systems will have to do the same to stay competitive in the larger scope of things. What are your thoughts on front-end editing, more specifically, how could one apply a block-based mantra to frontend editing?
Frankly this leaves me wondering why we leave medicine to private companies when we have agreed as a society that public health is the governments concern.

Its unreasonable to expect a publicly traded company to do anything other than chase profits the best way they can.
I think he is right on most stuff. I don't really like curly braces on their own line though, kinda separates the code too much unnecessarily.

But it's also harder to stay below the 80 cols on such a verbose language as java, I sometimes feel it's better to just ignore it and place everything in a single line (if it's greater than around 110 charecters then you really need to split it or refactor something).

In C at least it's idiomatic to place qualifiers and return types in their own line, leaving more space for the rest of the function signature, or you could code in a less noisy language like Haskell too.
Second-long freezes... could be ReSharper, could be a different plug-in or a VCS integration interfering with ReSharper. Unfortunately you got rid of it so I guess we'll never know for sure )

And no worries about the saved screenshot either.
the difference between 1ms and 15ms is nothing, but the difference between 16ms and 17ms is everything. UI application animations are like train schedules. If you miss one train by only a microsecond, you still have to wait the entire time until the next train arrives.

This is why we need a better display protocol. Why are we still treating our displays like synchronous, scanline CRTs? The display should have a simple buffer into which we can do random reads/writes at any time and the affected pixels will be updated immediately. This would solve all of these problems (and eliminate video tearing)!

Andrew Ng Will Be Doing an AMA in /r/MachineLearning on April 14 9AM PST
Absolutely agree, for many of those machines it would prove far more valuable to compile a history of early, working designs that are more easily produced with simple methods and tools and update them judiciously making use of current art but maintaining simplicity. Then create a roadmap of development leading from one catalogue of tools (and techniques) to the next.

The whole project should not be undertaken as "what would I design if I wanted to restart civilization tomorrow" but as "what would I design if I were to be transported to 1500 with nothing but this catalogue".
> It's unfortunate that the Patent Office can't ban trolls who have abused the system.

I agree with you on one hand but on the other is it impossible for a person to reform and later want a patent to protect their new creation? I'd just like to see the whole system overhauled or maybe even removed in some ways.
You can actually pass std::allocator to a template:

template <class X> foo {};
template <template<class> class F> struct bar { F<int> f; };

bar<foo> b;

This is painful to do with a lot of the STL like vector, because they have a lot of default template arguments and there's no implicit currying.

I haven't investigated it but variadic template template arguments might help there, though.
Actually, a significant amount of the premined coin will go to the ethereum organization- They are premining more than they put up for the presale, if I recall.

(INB4 someone says the ether allocated in the genesis block doesn't fit the strict definition of a premine)

you will not find such a generic assertion because it is so obviously wrong that nobody would dare to assert it.

Or because nobody actually believes it. Even the more staunch laissez-faire defender believes some self-beneficial acts to be contrary to the common welfare, like stealing or getting reelected after promoting anti-market policies.

Likewise, anti-capitalists argue that many self-beneficial actions are also beneficial to society, like demanding to be paid fair wage or even taking control of their means of production. "Workers, unite!" is not a call for self-sacrifice.

People cherry-pick the bits and pieces that make their actions look good and ignore the rest.

Sure, but that's not an economic theory.
That isn't the case if the way you're becoming wealthier is by frontrunning by a few milliseconds. By doing so you're effectively leeching off other participants in the stock market, including large institutional funds (like universities, which spend on basic science research).

Sometimes people get wealthy because they help create value. Sometimes they get wealthy because they're leeches. So maximizing your gains clearly doesn't always maximize gains for society.

Maybe are the governments those who are downvoting you.
Yes, Crimea and Eastern Ukraine shares a border with Russia, NATO exercises had been going on in Crimea under the purview of a Western CSO propelled Kiev, Ukraine and under it the republic of Crimea was slotted for entry into the EU (and eventually NATO, like other former Warsaw states) at a time international financial-political sabotage was being orchestrated in the EU to thwart attempt to have Russia's pipelines through Crimea and the Baltics to the Balkins, and because the "Independent" Republic of Crimea serves as a critical water base and military nexus for Russia and because historically, politically and by nationality Russia and Crimea are much closer to one another than even Russia and Kiev; because the EU's energy trade legislation would make Kiev and Crimea distributers of Russian oil like Poland/Czech; because NATO actions in Serbia/Kosovo broke Cold War treaties when Russia could not defend itself; because missile batteries and THAAD systems in the Baltics deployed by the US and EU ruin Russia's deterents and intercept capabilities and similarly break longstanding nuclear treaties; because the treaties being negotiated in Keiv (the non-violent option was not working) and because the West-backed coup was working according to orchestration despite disruption; because the Bush administration refused to extend age old nuclear disarmament treaties; because the EU is building up to a United States of Europe on Russia's border; and because prior actions taken by NATO in the support on non-NATO allied countries in the past decade have shown that the EU intends a regional hegemony.

Russia had many incentives to want Crimea. Certainly the West is making Russia pay for Crimea. But the Putin administrations actions radically stunned the NATO allied powers. Cat in a Tiger game.

I don't think it will continue this way, as contigency and response planning is by now surely narrowed down - maybe we'll get to see it if Mariupol is captured. In the long term under the faltering of the Eurasian Union Russia risks becoming a satellite state to China - so it will be interesting to see how the dynamics play out (for the sake of EU/US, we might hope that the 'balance of powers' is a century dead.)
we are still comparing apples and oranges even with your argument...
Probably the biggest issue here is conflict resolution. How do you deal with claims, what is expected wear and tear etc. I think this is why in practice people don't rent or loan their own things to those they don't know.

It's not hard to loan someone a power-tool - but $10 just isn't worth the potential problems which go with it.

While other's have brought up how ethanol in the style of (or sometimes literally) a very-high-proof vodka is used to treat methanol and ethylene glycol (antifreeze) poisoning, it is unlikely that these uses be seen outside of a hospital or other emergency medical facility.

A better question is someone who is under the influence of something that is commonly prescribed, such as opioid painkillers[1], antihistamines[2], or various psychiatric medication[3]. People are prescribed those medications for many different reasons all the time. The ability to drive or operate dangerous devices can be impacted as bad as ethanol, and many will impact attention or social interaction in various ways. It is difficult to compared these to marijuana, but it is obvious that some have much stronger reactions to these drugs.

Just like with drunk driving, the problem here is the focus on any particular drug instead of focusing on behaviors. It is similar to default-allow in computer security; trying to enumerate bad things[4] that might allow for bad behavior, the real solution is to change how the problem is framed.

Citizens concerned about safety on public roads are not actually interested in how much ethanol someone has had to drink. What matters is if someone has the necessary reflexes, fine motor skills, and situational awareness to drive safely. Ethanol consumption correlates with these problems, with a lot of variability. Instead of the breathalyzer, we should be testing the features that actually matter. This might suggest that some people cannot drive even when they are sober... which is kind of the point.

If someone shows up to work under the influence, you should evaluate if they are causing any sort of actual problem, and fire them for that. On the other hand, if they are on something but they do their job properly, then why complain?

[1] can cause to cause extreme sleepiness, dizziness, and/or nausea in some people

[2] many antihistamines - such as diphenhydramine ("Benadryl") which is over-the-counter - are well-known to be powerful deliriants. In many people normal doses can impact driving as bad as ethanol and make coherent conversation difficult.

[3] the problem here are to numerous to list. The popular antipsychotics can have almost any type of side effect you can think of, antidepressants can have unpredictable effect, and anxiolytics can cause drowsiness as bad as the opioids.

Yes, that's where I found it. And the previous HN thread is interesting too.
Oh, yes! Thank you! Even today is sounds cool....
the USPTO is a laughing stock, they should consider some serious reform quickly or just being completely disbanded. they serve no valuable purpose other than to retard the whole of society for the future as far as i can tell...

The workers, by complaining, are also acting in their best interest. As you see, sometimes that can also be good for society.
>Apple's model customer is one who upgrades often. If you want solid support for old products, stick with Microsoft, and accept that their products can be clunkier because of deliberate choices to maintain backwards-compatibility.

This is nothing close to "So what? Just upgrade." He's saying that from apple's perspective the best customer is one who upgrades their machine on every upgrade cycle which explains why they don't care about previous generation OSes. And how can you say this comment is apple-apologetic when he goes on to say that Microsoft does a better job maintaining backwards-compatibility?
Maybe not well understood by programmers but in the programming language world Go's ideas have been around for over 3 decades.

Does Thorium solve the irradiation problem? Tell me when we'll actually have nuclear-powered cars or planes.

Petroleum isn't just a fuel source, its a highly portable fuel source.

Clearly advanced battery tech will resolve most of that, but jets/rockets don't sound like they'll be using either batteries or nuclear as a fuel source anytime soon.

In general I agree with that, however there were many single points of failure in the Apollo program that resulted loss of crew and vehicle. In a conversational article such as this one I did not feel that the characterization was unwarranted. as I recall Michael Collins said as much in his book on the mission.

ClearCase has a clearaudit command that can be used to kick off any other arbitrary command and get dependency information (clearaudit /c <foo>). This is much better than using clearmake, because you otherwise depend on a users ability to (correctly) write makefiles upfront.

when were we supposed to get a response?
Meta-comment: I believe the difference in opinion here (which seems to recur, over and over, and has for decades) is because the job title of "software engineer" actually encompasses many different job duties. For some engineers, their job is to "make it work"; they do not care about the thousand cases where their code is buggy, they care about the one case where it solves a customer's problem that couldn't previously be solved. For other engineers, their job is to "make it work right"; they do not care about getting the software to work in the first place (which, at their organization, was probably solved years ago by someone who's now cashed out and sitting on a beach), they care about fixing all the cases where it doesn't work right, where the accumulated complexity of customer demands has led to bugs. The first is in charge of taking the software from zero to one; the second is in charge of taking the software from one to infinity.

For the former group, error checking just gets in their way. Their job is not to make the software perfect, it's only to make it satisfy one person's need, to replace something that previously wasn't computerized with something that was. Oftentimes, it's not even clear what that "something" is - it's pointless to write something that perfectly conforms to the spec if the spec is wrong. So they like languages like Python, Lisp, Ruby, Smalltalk, things that are highly dynamic and let you explore a design space quickly without getting in your way. These languages give you tools to do things; they don't give you tools to prevent you from doing things.

The second group works in larger teams, with larger requirements and greater complexity, and a significant part of their job description is dealing with bugs. If a significant part of the job description is dealing with bugs, it makes sense to use machines to automate checking for them. And so they like languages like Rust, C++, Haskell, Ocaml, occasionally Go or Java.

The two groups do very little work in common (indeed, most of the time they can't stand to work in the opposing culture), but they come together on programming message boards, which don't distinguish between the two roles, and hence we get endless debates.

Thanks. We represent the plaintiffs on a pro bono basis. Actually, almost a dozen law firms are donating their time to these cases (after class certification was denied, the workers were required to bring their lawsuits individually). It is tremendously rewarding work, and for me a great opportunity to take on responsibility I might not otherwise get at this stage of my career.

Plot twist: Elected officials are realistically unable to exert power or influence over our federal agencies. These quasi-judicial, quasi-executive governmental machines are largely autonomous, developing their own policies to execute their mission. And they process offenders of their own policies, instead of reaching out to other government agencies to enforce law compliance.

If senators or representatives don't vote to fund agencies, it's career suicide. There are so many of these causes that martyrs would be burned up too quickly -- it would be dumb to sacrifice yourself for one of these causes, when there are hundreds up for vote each year. You'd just be replaced by someone with fewer morals.

On one side, it's the same issue as dealing with paid restaurant reviews on review sites; you have to wait for a large enough critical mass of comments/information outlets for true snippets to slip out.

On the other side, it's not like people are being killed. When they come for the Socialists, and these people start disappearing from our society, I will speak out. But this is not happening yet. So many Chickens Little, so few Eggheads Jr.

We are going to have waste heat gather in our atmosphere, from whatever energy sources we attempt to capture, and use and store. This move toward renewables, doesn't solve the problem. We need a lever to offload waste heat and we aren't even looking at it in the proper perspective. Eventually, it looks like we'll be living underground, no matter what solutions we devise in this next 1000 year interim.
Thanks for the heads-up! I did, and was a fun read.

I keep a few yo-yos in my office on the shelf. Keep them next to a cricket ball, and a hacky-sack. I find they're great fun when on long conference calls and awesome conversation starters. Generally the younger group, 90s kids, stare at that hackysack like it's a long lost treasure. The folks in the upper 30s to 40s go for the yoyo. I'm early 30s but tend to play with the yoyo a lot.
