Insurance costs are taken from crime statistics and insurance claims. Nobody I know has insurance.

the problem is that this data is completely off-radar. The Coventry people are incredibly insular and untrusting. The idea is that you are either alone, or with your community- if you're community rejects you because you don't like their kids putting rotting fish in your letter box (for example) then you're on your own.

People don't get insurance because they think that by declaring their assets they invite people who work in the insurance firms to sell that information to burglars. (which does happen occasionally).

Crime goes mostly unreported because the police are untrusted, even if they had extremely noble intentions the people in coventry are a black box in terms of information- nobody will "snitch" on anybody else.

if someone was caught snitching then that person becomes one of the "rare" cases of a stabbing or extreme coersion to leave the city. (punctured tires, cutting brake lines, random people coming to kick your door in late at night and leaving without coming in, etc)

Your statistics lie about coventry, which is my point entirely.. the problem can't be fixed because there is no statistics on the problem to begin with. Although those in the West Midlands tend to avoid Coventry except for a shopping visit.

As much as it's anecdotal, I can think of a LOT of people I know who had to leave Coventry, I should show you a cross section of the people I went to school with- Crime is a way of life there, it's not even seen as "Crime" it's just.. it just is, you know it's a crime and the police become your enemies, but they were never your friends to begin with.

Anyway, I've been on the wrong side of the law, but as soon as my environment changed I was -able- to become an upstanding person.

Your stats are lying, and I'm not trying to upset or offend you but there are places like Coventry all over the world.. unquantifiable by normal statistics.
Not sure about the approach to take a look in public code.

Students and graduates may still not developed good coding skills, assuming they have the time and energy to contribute to open source (they probably should as a pure marketing tool, though)
People with experience may not have their code available. Not every company works with open source.

It seems to be quite biased to certain kind of developer. I agree is a good kind of developer, but if the objective is to find "the best", it could be a relatively small talent pool.
I read facebooks terms and conditions before I created my account (you can guess, I am over 50). After that, I never thought about joining. Tried to discourage our kids, too (no success - they are under 50 ;o).
This works for temporary traffic lights here in the UK (I've just googled and some people seem to think they are motion sensors, but from my experience they aren't)

If it's dark and quiet, I think both sides go to red, then when a light is detected, that side goes green. Quite common knowledge in the UK
That's the point, FB is people personal ID in the Internet (I guess Google+ was suppose to have this task), and this is the reason why we have so many apps working with FB which is the central point for everything - login, pictures, address, tlf number etc...

In my experience, it doesn't. They just go after blue chips again directly, but blue chips have a 18 months decision time on a purchase and don't like new technology. They lack the humility/will to go after many small companies to hone the product, business model and the funnel against many customers before hunting the whales again.
Run from such a company. You are just an asset to them that has to obey. You are not doing a nuclear research and there's not a reason for them to force you.

"One day you’ll download a JavaScript version of the DOM that renders to WebGL."

Please don't do this. At least if you have a normal site. Web apps sure have at it but if your just delivering content use the browser's DOM. It's way better than what you'll come up with it has URLs, text selection and save page as.

This goes for you too Facebook you are not a app you are a blog site with text as your primary medium. Just use HTML markup for that don't try to circumvent browser features with your own DOM.

The only problem is if you forget to renew the book you have to pay the fine at the institution it's on loan from. :(

Isn't that the truth. I had a history book from the British Library and the fine began at a hundred and something pounds for the first day late, and went up from there. I took a picture of the fine warning and stuck it to my monitor so I wouldn't forget.
I would rather like a flag one could easily draw by hand (like most flags). Not too fond of the color neither; if we want it to represent Earth, maybe a blue/green blend?

Bringing Nepal Back Online: Solar Trip
The relevant section is on page 8, where it states

"...the employer shall provide, at no cost to the employee,
appropriate personal protective equipment such as, but not limited to,
condoms, gloves for cleaning, and, if contact of the eyes with OPIM-STI is
reasonably anticipated, eye protection."

The phrase "OPIM-STI" is an acronym for "other potentially infectious materials - sexually transmitted infection" which is itself a shorthand for

"...bodily fluids and other substances that may contain and transmit sexually
transmitted pathogens. These fluids include, but are not limited to, pre-ejaculate,
ejaculate, semen, vaginal secretions, fecal matter and rectal secretions, secretions
from wounds or sores that are potentially infected with sexually transmitted pathogens,
and any other bodily fluid when visibly contaminated with blood or all bodily fluids in
situations where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between bodily fluids."
Bittorrent handles the distribution of large files. It explicitly doesn't handle any of the social aspects of content removal, indexing of humans by name, social graphs, etc. Spam is not a question because there's no "push" of any kind, but people would want push notification for any FB replacement.

If you were to build a system for distributing "wall posts" in a bittorrent manner, it would probably end up looking a lot like USENET with a group per-person. (Long ago I knew a couple of people who did in fact have their own newsgroup in alt.) That would also replicate the problems of USENET, especially with regards to spam fighting.

It highlights a similar unrelated idea.
This rules are in place due to over centuries of accounting experience. It may seem unintelligent or silly to the untrained eye, "debito and credito" , exclusion of negatives or many other are in fact in existence because they work.
Unless I am seriously missreading that you only need eye protection for a 'facial' or when doing tattoo or other activity that causes blood spatter. I don't see that as much of an issue.

As to the what! Condoms in porn reaction people have. IMO, that really says more about condom adoption than anything else. If you see people using them during porn as a teen that's going to seem normal which should help adoption significantly.

JWT actually has two options, you can encrypt the payload, or you can sign it with public/private key. I believe that the path the article uses actually uses the encryption option.

I was going to point this out in my own post, but wanted to finish reading the article first. Of course if you go the signed route, you accept the payload is fully readable, and you must confirm the signature for every request.
This is where the term 'Neurotypical' can be useful.

Some people with some forms of (what are labelled) 'mental health conditions' protest that it's not a deficiency at all - just a different way of being. Certainly it's easy to sympathise with this for conditions such as high-functioning Asperger's, ADHD and even some manifestations of bi-polar. (Stephen Fry famously said that he wouldn't change this aspect of himself even if he could).
Also worth noting that many libraries now also have eBooks available through Overdrive or similar - http://www.overdrive.com/ (I have used this in the UK, you can also join many UK libraries for free to gain access to more collections)

They've been getting scummier and scummier. They've been doing this ad bundling thing for years, and their entire website is basically unusable without adblock. Someone at Slashdot enterprises has no idea what they're doing. At any rate, SourceForge is going to die soon. I wouldn't be surprised if Google starts to delist them for distributing malware.
I have never used facebook and never will. The only real reason is because I have no interest in the type of community it promotes. The communities on facebook usually seem like a popularity contest.

I've recently stopped using reddit for the same reason and I'm now using HN as my main/only source of social media.
Hi, I am the author here. I am kind of overwhelmed that my post got onto HN and there are so many comments :)

This post was not meant to be a comprehensive social commentary. The post was triggered in response to a question from one of my friends at a local meetup on how to improve the gender imbalance. So the post tended to be more in tune with how to address that particular issue.

This post is also not meant to decry or judge the women who voice out their opinions and experiences at work. It takes a lot of courage to talk about sexism at work as it can potentially affect the relationships with colleagues and also their future employment. Besides, it is impossible for me judge something based on just news reports.

Women in India too have issues to tackle. The disproportional work for women at home in general which affects their participation outside. The inability to take off from work post-pregnancy for more than the prescribed period even if she wanted to. Cultural restrictions on what a woman can do or cannot do. These need to be addressed. But I believe these are more social issues than issues in tech. I respect the women who speak out regarding these and the men who acknowledge and support them. Without them progress would not be made.

Unfortunately the proportion of the polarity of reports turn out to be more like product reviews. Say 10% of negative issues are reported. Not even 0.1% of the positive aspects are reported. (I am pulling numbers from the air, but I hope you get the picture ;) ) Thats because, when things go right, we often fail to notice. This often results in a skewed negative image. I have mostly been surrounded by men (father, brother, hubby, friends, colleagues, professors, teachers) who were most supportive of what I did and I believe they deserve credit too. Also, there must more such men and women out there in tech, who can/do inspire more girls into this interesting field. I believe as individuals, we can make a difference.

Also, again, my experience is not definitive. Others might have had a different experience.
I believe will always default to sending the PR to the remote named origin. If you have the original repo listed as origin and your repo as a remote with your username, you get the expected behaviour. I think the issue here is that hub has no explicit knowledge of the ancestry of the repo so unless it fetches this from the GH API, I think it's doing the only logical thing.

You can also rent e-books for you kindle from many Libraries. The SF library is awesome at this, as you can also rent titles that pretty much any library in CA has.

The rights management around it is fascinating though. They can only lend out as many copies at a time as physically exist in the library system (I think).
Is it legal in some countries to leave your job for the competition? I thought that's commonly outlawed in most countries.

Stealing planning documents is another thing but I am quite surprised that it's okay to leave your company and work for the competition two days later.
Yes, in a way beyond a certain basic competence the coding is the easy bit.

I feel having a flag for "Planet Earth" is a really strange thing, particularly if you were to do something like plant it on Mars.

Flags more commonly represent groups defined by political or cultural boundaries, and planting one of those outside their territory makes sense in a way because their boundaries are malleable.

To me it'd make more sense calling it the "Flag of Humanity" or something along those lines.
Also we have to consider that "regular" Internet users (who are probably not HN readers!) just want to communicate with their friends, share pictures and jokes, find news, etc. They want a simple user experience that's just easy to use.

THAT user experience (UX) has been the main issue I've seen with attempts at a distributed social network (such as Diaspora).
I doubt it's a reference to Kundera.

I was thinking that both Eugene Wigner's 1960 article 'The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences'[0] and Karpathy's 'The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks' probably touch deep aspects of the nature of existence. The first on why the universe exists and is mathematical - because at the fundamental level it is mathematical[1], and in Karpathy's case the RNNs are probably effective because they are close to the mechanisms of human consciousness.

Sorry, I actually forgot about g+, since none of my friends/family/acquaintances actually use it... mostly followed industry people's posts for a while, but I get most of that on twitter.

G+ was a really nice imo way to work through it... too bad nobody used it in practice. I also hope that they work through a few of the issues I have with hangouts, mostly in taking over Google Voice duties, and the limited UX on the desktop (searches from contacts for SMS don't show up before random strangers in G+).

What a lot of companies attempt to do is put in anti-compete clauses in to the civil employment contract.

They are often unenforceable or if they are they are heavily time limited unless a large financial incentive is provided to balance the loss of earnings.
Actually good employers often throw out applications with pictures - to avoid any race/sex discrimination issues.

So reading through all that...

I didn't see anywhere that said that actor had to use the protection - just that the employer had to provide it. As well as increased documentation and logging of "incidents", offers of medical treatment after each incident, review of their protection plan after each incident, and training of all actors on the protection plan before a scene.

So it sounds like this could just turn into a pile of protective gear that is never used, more bureaucracy, and a really annoying process of having to formally review their plan after every single scene.

Flood fill is the hard part - A* is basicaly flood fill too, just with heuristic and quick stop condition.

Preprocessing is cheating :). If you preprocess and floodfill the map anyway, you can go one step further, do Dijkstra, save the results using a trick, and you don't need run-time pathfinding at all.

And you can store full paths from each cell to each cell using just O(N * N) memory, no matter the path lengths - that's a neat trick BTW:

you store for each cell pair (P,Q) what is the next cell you should go from P if you want to eventually get to Q. that allows yu to reconstruct full path between each pair of cells quickly.

EDIT to clarify - cheating is good, it's just I don't think O(N log N) is good tradeoff for the ability to return quicker, if you can do away with the whole pathfinding for O(N * N).

EDIT 2: why O(N log N)? It seems you could write the resulting component for each cell, so worst case O(N) space?

Digital and Analog Under One Startup Roof
Hey guys! Adam from Baron Fig here, a lot of you guys know us for our analog notebooks. (Maybe some of you are using one right now.)

Yesterday we launched our digital notebook, Mosaic, on iOS. I figured you all might have some good questions about how/why this whole analog/digital thing fits together under one startup roof.

> It's not stealing, Webmasters can detect if someone is using AdBlock or not.

So what's your view on sites blocking people with AdBlock?
Right... at this point Facebook is where the people are that other people want to communicate with. Facebook has the massive "directory" of users.

Social networks are only useful to people if the other people with whom they want to communicate are ON those networks.

Right now, Facebook has that massive directory. This can change, of course. The Internet does not have permanent favorites. But today, Facebook is where you can easily find and interact with people.

Great as always telling us where we are. Not so great telling us where we're going, where the big financial bets are (she's a VC and should know), what are the significant new technology themes.

In other words it's not stealing unless you get caught?

Thank you for actually pointing that out. As an Asian man, it annoys me that we also get excluded from being included as part of diversity. Asian men in tech?

I think the headphone comparison is really weak. If you want to listen to any audio, in most settings you need headphones (at work, in public spaces).

Smart watches do not fill that void. They may make certain tasks easier, but there are other available options (like just pulling out your phone to look at the time or to see who is calling).
