Well there is a product/service in there. Discussion channels tied in with your Netflix Id so that you you can only discuss topics with people on the same schedule. You could also join a group which had the programming pre-determined, and drip fed the shows to you on a specific schedule, like every Sunday night. You get the benefits of a scheduled delivery of content and associated social benefits, but you also get to join a schedule which suits your times.
But this is not any email; it's usually a promo or info email, usually with a link to directly click, so I would willingly divulge the same details — if the email is legitimate.

I could imagine that geolocating my IP might be undesirable at times. I wonder what are other potential security (not privacy) implications.

This is entirely wrong. Taking the address of a field doesn't evaluate the field, and any compiler that does a load for that is broken.
Heh - being Hacker News, I thought this was going to about some new methodology like Extreme Programming!
As a life-long LA resident, I say don't believe the hype. The article says that the centerpiece is the revitalization of the LA river. As far as I can tell, this isn't happening. Some bike paths were added along the river, which is nice, but that's far from what I'd call revitalization. The bike paths are still poorly lit, they still smell like shit, and they're not getting much use. There's a huge trainyard east of downtown (one of the coolest parts of the city, imo) called Piggyback Yard, which is owned by Union Pacific, who doesn't want to sell the land. It'd be hard for the city to do any significant revitalization of the river without turning the Piggyback Yard into a park that can provide flood control. Furthermore, the US Army corps of engineers controls the LA river, so the voters have no say in what happens here.

The metro extensions have been planned for decades, and there never seems to be much movement. Recently the blue line has been creeping steadily towards Santa Monica but I doubt this will have much of an impact on city life even if it does connect downtown LA to the westside beach communities. I used to encourage everyone to try taking the train, and I used to do it myself all the time, but I haven't hopped on the train at all in the last 12 months. The stations are too spread out, the paths of all the lines make little sense, the trains only come every 15-20 minutes, and a huge chunk of the city is totally cut off from the transit lines. As much as I don't like uber/lyft, they've made it much more enjoyable to live in LA.

Ciclavia is cool, but its just 1 day out of the year. LA is the worst city in the country to ride a bike. They claim to have more bike lines than any other city, but that's only on paper. Just because you paint a person riding a bike next to the gutter of a 2 lane street doesn't make it a bike lane. Yet that is exactly what the city has done in the name of adding bike friendly streets.

All of these projects are little more than photo-ops for city politicians.
I think you're just misunderstanding. He is not talking about the origin of the word, "poop deck" in normal English vernacular. He is referring to why these Cardists call worn out decks, "poop decks": because the video referencing the "poop deck" was shot in a bathroom with his bathroom deck he keeps in there

The post hinges on the faulty assumption that calculating the address of an lvalue "evaluates" that lvalue. This is not so.

Any compiler that generates anything other than an add instruction (or lea or similar) is broken, for rather unsubtle reasons.

Or to put it another way: dereferencing a null pointer may be undefined, but arithmetic on any pointer (including null) is well defined, and the code in question is arithmetic, not dereference.

And, yet another broken blog post will make the rounds on the internet every three years and confuse even more people. It's sad.
What?

You seriously don't know the gender/race make-up of our elected officials?

This is the opposite of my experience (assuming the same performance level). Though I consider FPGAs and GPUs mostly cut out for vastly different purposes. I unfortunately can't find a good reference to back this up because very few people do FPGA to GPU comparisons with anything more than a trivial FIR filter or FFT.
Seems like a great option for real-time on the backend. But what would you use to push real-time data to a client-side JS app?

You might be interested in the now defunct Meta-FPGA (MPGA) project, which attempted this exact thing:

ftp://ftp2.de.freebsd.org/pub/misc/opencores/ml-archive/archives/cores/0109/msg00019.html

The idea was to use the proprietary tools to produce a once off "meta-FPGA" bitstream for each device. From then on, the open-source MPGA tools would be used to synthesise, place and route designs.

Don't know why this is seen as legitimate. MBTI makes the bad assumption that people that fall on either side of a bell curve (say in terms of extraversion) are categorically different people. More self-fulfilling than anything.

Actually, the segregation is a bit more sinister than just because they "did different things", although perhaps you don't realise this because you're white.

Back in the mid 90s my wife's family wasn't allowed to stay in the nice part of a motel somewhere in the South. They had to stay in the slightly crappy "black" block of the motel. The irony is that all the cars parked in front of the shitty "black" block of the motel were expensive ones. Also they're not even black, they're Asian. Apparently every business in that part of the town had de-facto segregation like this.

I'm curious if it's still like that. I've seen on recent TV documentaries (e.g. Louis Theroux) that there is still a hell of a lot of racism down there, so I imagine things haven't changed very much for the better.

Also, evolution isn't a god. Don't worship it.
What the South had for much of the 20th century was much closer to apartheid. Blacks were not allowed to vote, for example, or to exercise generally protected rights that whites had, such as the right to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances. In a merely segregated situation, different races would be prevented from mixing but treated by the government as equal citizens. That did not come close to happening: the various Southern governments did not even make a pretense of being neutral arbiters of segregation, but were quite openly White governments, acting as shamelessly violent partisans of the White population's interests.
Is Freedom of Choice Really What We Want?
Ha, you are right. Every time there's a discussion on MBTI in an online forum, there's a small horde of people who proudly and loudly say INTJ, letting us know how logical and rational they are.

He had burnt a lot, it's true, but that raises another question: given that he did burn a lot of it regularly throughout his life before his fatal illness, why did he not burn the remainder while healthy and instead later asked Brod (who claims to have immediately told Kafka he would not do that) to do it? Borges's reading here makes more sense; it was simply the final Kafkaesque gesture.
I could see that working. I would be surprised if anything like the Daily Show could be replicated without one of the cast members. But some other topical format with the right person. Like what Bill Maher is to HBO.
Ugh. This comes up so often on Hacker News that I've prepared a FAQ paragraph about how unvalidated the Myers-Briggs test is. Read the articles you'll find at the links for much more information than I have time to type here with arthritic fingers. The Skeptic's Dictionary discussion[1] is a good place to start, but there are other critiques of the test too. Don't miss the discussion of the National Academy of Sciences review of the test.[2] "Overall, the review committee concluded that the MBTI has not demonstrated adequate validity although its popularity and use has been steadily increasing. The National Academy of Sciences review committee concluded that: 'at this time, there is not sufficient, well-designed research to justify the use of the MBTI in career counseling programs,' the very thing that it is most often used for." Psychologists who really know about personality testing don't regard the Myers-Briggs test as a worthwhile test.[3]

An article from the Washington Post newspaper sums up the matter pretty well:

"Now, 50 years after the first time anyone paid money for the test, the Myers-Briggs legacy is reaching the end of the family line. The youngest heirs don’t want it. And it’s not clear whether organizations should, either.

. . . .

"Yet despite its widespread use and vast financial success, and although it was derived from the work of Carl Jung, one of the most famous psychologists of the 20th century, the test is highly questioned by the scientific community."[4]

Thanks for being interested. We are building Semi, and will definitely give it a birth in the near future.

While we are working on it, we launched this site to gather those people who have the same passion about AI stuff as we do. We want to get connected and to see how people think about it, and make Semi to be the best virtual assistant of the future together.

It sounds like a pretty good plan if you're an introvert.

And if he needs human contact, he's not moving out to the middle of nowhere. He can go outside. Turn on the TV or get a paper for news. Go to a restaurant. Hook up with a friend for an evening. He's just turning off all the little social drip-feeds that live in the computer.

It's a California issue. You can solve your own problem, and let other states solve their problems. It will not cause mass starvation. If you grow stuff (and export a lot of that stuff) it doesn't entitle you to federal resources or water from other states. The rest of the country can live with fewer almonds, and less hay shipped to China, and Southern California using xeriscaping as is appropriate for the desert. The only real loser there will be big farmers whose lifestyle is premised on converting communal resources into money that goes into their own pockets. Why do these special people deserve a special handout at the expense of everyone else?
Yea, 2-3 miles is a very long walk in LA. Walking from los feliz to the reservoir would be especially tedious since the most direct paths are on boring residential streets. No one would ever do that walk unless they 1) dont have a car 2) are looking to get exercise.

It's a model. Like all models, it's wrong as soon as you delve into the details. Under certain circumstances it can be useful, though.

The reason INTJs seem to be disproportionately drawn to it (actually, like most statements, that's inaccurate - in my experience INTJs and INFJs are most drawn to the MBTI, followed by other N types...which is what the theory would predict) is because INTJs like to make systems and models of how reality works, and MBTI is one model of how psychology works. Any halfway-mature INTJ (or person, really) will recognize that the model is not reality, and that once you dive into the details, you'll find numerous ways where the facts don't line up with theory. But as a tool for orienting yourself, it's a handy first approximation.
I agree with you 100%. MBTI is garbage.

If you know of a case where a U.S. federal government employee successfully sued for their copyright in Germany on a photo they made in the course of their official duties with the U.S. government, I'd appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.

I'm familiar with the idea that copyright expirations can take longer in Germany vs. the U.S., and that the U.S. government reserves the right to assert copyright internationally. But I've never heard of a case like I mention above. Thanks.

It's optional, but most producers choose it despite the additional financial overhead, because otherwise it becomes much more expensive to audit which theaters played your movie and how often in order to get paid. Obviously it's not just theaters any more but they're most likely to have 4k gear, in terms of both display and fat pipes. 4k is basically the industry-standard output format* so if there's no DRM then downstream distributors have an enormous economic incentive to rip the originator off by serving up that very high-quality copy for the highest price they can get and pocketing all the ticket sales revenue for themselves.

Very basically, rental of a film for a cinema for a day is $250 or 35% of ticket sales, whichever is more (the flat rate is less over long periods, the 35% stays the same). 2 hours of 4k UHD video in the ProRes codec (which will play back smoothly on a regular computer, with good enough quality that most people wouldn't notice the difference) is about 700gb. A fast 1tb drive in an enclosure is under $200, so if the film is even moderately popular and would benefit from being presented on a large screen (which most films of any quality certainly do), then it becomes very tempting for exhibitors to make a copy, either for display or to produce knockoffs in disc form (which will be fully competitive with the 'official' version as far as audio/video quality goes).

* Technically there's DCI 4k and Ultra-HD, with the former being slightly higher resolution than the latter - see http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/174221-no-tv-makers-4k-an... but they're close enough that even camera people lump them otgether as '4k' and the 10% shortfall on UHD gear is not considered that bad of a loss. If you're very concerned about horizontal resolution chances are you're using anamorphic lenses anyway.
Thanks. Looks like most of the data is anecdotal at the moment but it's something to keep an eye on and see how/if it pans out. For the people involved.. I hope it's a blip and not a trend.
