I've picked up dozens of hitchhikers, and never once been murdered (that I know of). I don't do it nowadays simply because I don't have a car, and very few people try and hitchhike around here.
In your zero-handling program, you seem to suppose the first "J0,2" and "J1,3" commands take the arrow on equality, while the second "J0,2" and "J1,3" commands instead take the arrow on inequality.
A bit off topic, but I really hope that Microsoft and Samsung have reached some sort of understanding regarding the name "Edge". A trademark dispute involving their new browser is the last thing Microsoft needs at this time. It was confusing enough when they had to change SkyDrive to OneDrive.

You don't need to be rich. It costs very little to fund a $30k life insurance policy, which will get your whole body suspended with Cryonics Institute. Alcor is more, $80k for just the head.
So why is the artist being known or experienced more important than the quality of the picture? I mean, people will pay crazy amounts for a known name, but if good pieces from newcomers are not expected to be worth much, that's a point where I'd call art prices a sham.
Not really. The 'just because HN is mad' makes it sound like all the people here are boycotting Lenovo for irrational reasons. I don't think HN is 'mad' at the company, they just have some legitimate concerns.
By the way, I don't' see myself as left or right wing. I look at an issue, and sometimes the left has a good solution, sometimes the right does. What we need is not a new party - we need a new way of governance which is issue based, not 'time' based. Maybe one day technology will be advanced and easy enough to allow safe referendums from your mobile device. Continuous referendums...
Perhaps I'm too cynical, but if I had to guess I'd say cryonics companies don't give a damn about future ethical and/or legal implications as long as it's a profitable business as it stands today. I very much doubt they have plan on what to do with the brains or bodies they preserve, though I'd love to be proven otherwise.
I've been programming professionally for 6 years and only just started using SQL for the first time for a side project -- some web dev stuff.

I know Prolog pretty well so it's not like I was completely flabbergasted by it, I just had no need to use SQL before.
Making an exact replica of a work of art would be tantamount to destroying the original, or so an artist friend told me when I asked him that very question.

On a related note, you can buy lab-created rubies for a few dollars each that are pretty much indistinguishable from rubies found in the ground that are sold for millions of dollars. They have the exact same chemical formula, same optical properties, same everything (except for relative proportions of various isotopes and the fact that lab-created rubies tend to have fewer blemishes).

What's the reason for the difference? As far as I can tell, it's this: people don't buy rubies, they buy the right to advertise the fact that they spend millions of dollars on jewelry. Same goes for paintings.
Your first art show easily represents a year of work. I fail to see how earning $40k for a year of work is "completely out of whack" - unless you were arguing that artists are underpaid?

Yes, but does UK citizenship / resident-alien status / locality have anything to do with eligibility for .ie TLD registration?

The description of who can use *.ie is slightly vague on Wikipedia, but indicates there has to be a "tie" to Ireland. Moving the company out of the country seems like it might break whatever tie was there if it's based on any of the above criteria.

It's already too complicated to me as an Ugly American to differentiate Ireland, Northern Ireland, the UK, (Great) Britain and/or England, I'm hoping someone with more expertise can comment.

Yea, I have been thinking about a DNSSEC2 that would for example uses online signing for a while now, in addition to things like DNSCurve/DNSCrypt.
That's a very common problem, which we encounter both in-store and online. Solving it will be key to providing the best possible customer experience; stay tuned.
Suppose pre-financing, the company is worth $5M, and no matter how bad things go, it'll never fall below $1M. (due to patents, brand name recognition, the VC's ability to arrange an acqui-hire, or whatever)

If you invest $1M with a 2x liquidation preference, the valuation doesn't matter. You're guaranteed $1M back no matter what. If it's a home run, you still get the upside.

When you get a 2x liquidation preference, you can afford to invest at a much higher valuation than the "real" valuation of $5M, because your downside is limited, and you get a greater share of any upside (especially if you got participating preferred). Even on a fire sale for $2M, you still got a 100% return on your investment. Instead of selling $1M of common shares at a valuation of $5M, they can raise $1M of 2x preferred at a valuation of $10M-$20M+.

A lot of these valuations are funny money, because the headline doesn't mention the preferences given to the investment. If they were selling common shares, it'd be a much lower valuation.
You might gain some trust in a team which maintains a particular PPA. You import their key manually, and the key is not auto-updated or anything.

Installing shareware windows apps from "random sites" seems riskier, they're not signed by a single uploader's key which you import just once.

Because our experience of the world is the thing we hold most dear. We associate it with our identity, to the point where the two seem inseparable. The idea that we are "in the world, but not of it" is very deeply ingrained. Our tendency towards introspection alienates us from nature, and leads us to the conclusion that there must be something that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Just about everyone has a deep-seated desire to be special, to be destined for a higher purpose -- and that view is not (generally) compatible with the notion that consciousness is an emergent physical phenomenon, rather than evidence of a soul.

> Last I heard the UK was outpacing Germany!

Short-term comparisons are always wrong.

Sorry, I am German, but still I must say that, because it is right. Don't believe in what your politicians tell you, I don't believe what our politicians are telling me! (many statistics are basically on the verge to lies, I know that, because our government is falsifying so many).
I don't know about consistency within the standard library, but NewTimer's behavior definitely sounds consistent with the concept of distinguishing programming errors from exceptional conditions. Passing a negative number as a duration could either be defined behavior (equivalent to zero for programmer convenience and consistency with the principle that timers can fire late) or a programming error (should've checked that whatever you were subtracting to get that duration isn't backwards), but it's not an exceptional condition that can't be predicted in advance. Indeed, checking for a negative number, which is rarely necessary, is no more code than the 'if err' thing, and if it isn't necessary in a particular use of the function, you have the luxury of knowing it can't fail, and you don't need to figure out what will happen if it does.

I've gone s far as to call it the "yellow metal" fallacy. (ie gold)

Its all just matter in the end, but sometimes there's value in how its arranged. Ignoring that is stupid.
On the contrary, such concerns are of paramount importance to cryonics organizations. A good place to start is the Alcor Patient Care Trust [1]:

At Alcor, patient storage costs are paid from the Patient Care Trust. This conservative funding arrangement is designed to cover the cost of patient storage solely from the income from the Trust, thereby assuring that such funding will continue indefinitely into the future. The irrevocable Patient Care Trust is included under Alcor's tax-exempt status, but nevertheless is a separate legal entity that provides liability protection for these assets. This arrangement is one of the reasons our members have confidence in Alcor.

It doesn't do any good to use the most advanced techniques to get our members into cryopreservation unless we can keep them there, as well as build capital to eventually fund revival and reintegration. Ongoing care for cryopreservation patients is the number one element of our purpose in being cryonicists, and financial protection for the patients is a critical component of this. There is no use in starting this possibly centuries-long project, if we don't do centuries-long financial planning. Providing this kind of protection through a conservative, long-term view of storage costs is one of the main reasons why cryopreservation costs so much.

I'd like to just re-state that again, as I also can't find out. Maybe a kickstarter for game development?

The signup area wants you to partition yourself into one of two categories: Game Player or Creator, and their video says that they let the player community decide upon the gameplay mechanics used in their game, so perhaps it offers a voting system for selecting the game mechanics for a new game?

Accusing a fellow commenter of astroturfing is not allowed on Hacker News. Please don't do this or any other kind of personal attack here.

It's sad that comments that offer nothing but generic dismissals and teardowns automatically get upvoted, while an enthusiastic—and more substantive, agree with it or not—comment gets accused of being a paid fraud.

No, he had stolen a taxi at knife point and took a couple of old-style hippies before... we (me and a friend) thought the hippies had tired of waiting and took the taxi and now they were telling the taxi driver to also took us as solidarity.

Then the man started to drive like in an action movie, "daddy's car" he shouted all the time, rebasing other driver by the right side and asking us if we were snitches, that he had a special treatment for then (indeed, he made a band mate to cave his own grave and shot him facing the ground: "if he awakes, let's him dig downwards").

When he took the highway, we barely could convince him that we had to take the other way. We were terrified.

Edit: I'd always thought the psycopath incarnation in the movies was one of those movie artifacts that someone invented once and others copied. Not at all. This guy was exactly like that.
Well yes, but all the warnings and cautions in that link apply equally to PPAs - the security implications are pretty similar. A novice using PPAs will be in the same boat, though admittedly PPAs are a little easier to use.
I recently launched Steam Profile Lookup!

https://steamprofilelookup.com/steamid/76561197982486517

Fraud is a big problem in the steam trading scene and this tool basically allows people to do a quick background check before they trade.

This is my first real project that I've been able to put in front of users and it's been a blast. I've found it's a lot more enjoyable for me to have actual users trying stuff out rather than just building internal tools. Getting feedback, trying stuff, and running tests is just deeply satisfying. It's also really forced me to write good, production grade code.

That is enormously disingenuous to try to equivocate IE/Spartan/Edge's single-OS existence with Safari/WebKit.

WebKit works on every major operating system, including Windows and Linux. IE/Spartan/Edge does not work outside of Windows.

There are some minor feature differences between WebKit, OS X Safari, and iOS Safari, but the reality remains that WebKit exists on Windows, can be built on Windows, and can be used on Windows, while IE/Spartan/Edge works on nothing but Windows.

Edit: I'd love to hear from the ethically bankrupt downvoters about which fact in this comment they are trying to hide from.
Rust's goals for linear typing and regions changed. Ownership types didn't happen until typestate was abandoned. The current design is quite different from what was being explored before. If they're happy with what they've got, more power to them, but the project's priorities have changed dramatically in the last 2 years. I think it's worth asking why something that started seemingly as a research language backed off the original work and was converted into a relatively safe technology product in a short span of time.

I find it profoundly disquieting when redactions are created around the history of projects, pushing the impression that the place arrived at was what was wanted all along. Our failures can inform posterity as much as our successes.[1] The core Rust team has been perfectly candid about the history of the project.

Ireland is not part of the UK, but it is part of Britain.

Northern Ireland is part of the UK, but that's a completely different country from Ireland. Being UK born or based gives you no privileges over the .ie domain at all.

again, my point wasn't so you could think of what Google "could do". But, rather contrast what Google might reasonably do and contrast with what the police might reasonably do.

But hey, feel free to over-react on google, but not about lack of gov. oversight.

It seems more that the reason the copy is as vague and doesn't directly mention blockchains on the homepage is because this is supposed to be a project for non-tech people - personally, I'd find a decentralized blockchain-based identity system very difficult to describe in simple non-tech terms to anyone, so good copy is clearly a challenge.

I'm not sure what your point is here. Yes, he has a choice and that's a good thing. Why do you bring that up? They are making a choice based off fundamental disagreements with policies that the now-ruling party stands for. Of course it's impossible to work out exactly what policy will be implemented, that's not really the point.
Sure. But that requires atleast a subpoena. So there is atleast some expectation of due process. Which means Google or any other company can push back. Failing that, something like Snowden can happen.

Contrast that with police collecting that data and not requiring any, however made-up, oversight.
No, I didn't say this. I'm saying that he's making the same mistake as thousands of leaders before him: placing achievements first and people second.
I'm not generally in favour of occupational bans, but I think that's a great example for an occupation you should be able to get banned from if you are found to abuse your position of power (much like caretakers). You wouldn't want to see a rapist nurse be employed as a nurse or a molesting teacher work in a school, so why should police brutality be treated any different? You abuse a privileged position, you lose the privilege for a reasonable amount of time.

There are WebKit browsers other than Safari. But judging by how often I come across sites that render differently in Chrome and Safari, I don't know that we should draw too strong an equivalence between them either.

>That's exactly what I though! Holly cow......maybe I should take my name off the organ donors list.

Heh, doctors have been known to be eager to "be done" with organ donors in some cases that look dead or dying enough. What's a seemingly dying person compared to all those that get to get new body parts, after all?

Combine it with stories of people coming back from comas or near-death, and it doesn't sound that good.
You're right. I've trolled a little. But still, this brings security issues with it.

Ireland and Great Britain are islands. On these two islands are two sovereign states: Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (also known as UK). The UK consists of four parts: England, Wales and Scotland on the island of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the island of Ireland.

.ie is the domain of the state Ireland.
.uk is the domain of the UK.
Any respectable cryonics company is going to have to think about this and attempt to plan for the future, but there are just too many unknowns. Will there be major market disruptions that could impact even a conservatively managed fund? What will the costs of revival and integration be? What should be done with those who were imperfectly preserved?

> You cannot, for instance, create a new abstract base class and have a pre-existing class in someone else's header implement your abstract base class, such that a pointer to that pre-existing class can be dynamic_cast to your class.

Sure you can, for some value of base class and cast. You might not be able to use particular keywords, but data is data and math is math. You might not be able to use the built-in type system to do it.

C and javascript programmers write their own inheritance-based type systems all the time. And anything you can do in C, you can do in C++ if you really want to.
