I have not experienced it personally, nor do I personally know anyone who has experienced it.

I do personally know someone whom personally knows others who have directly experienced (high dose cannabis edibles for alcohol addiction). There are many claimed first, second, and third hand reports out on the Internet. There are also quite a few professional documentaries about the topic, many amatuer videos (directly capturing the experience and the people involved). I have also come across some peer reviewed literature as well.

I don't maintain a list of such reports and can't look for them at the moment, but they shouldn't be too difficult to find if you are interested.

It is not 100% effective. Some will definitly not change their behavior much, even though they claimed to want to.
I'm lost.

You say in the end they "fixed" it (quotes included) and you yourself tested it and it did actually seem fixed... but it's not according to OP.

I do apologise if I've missed something blatantly obvious here!

Was your method the same as OP by the way?
Ask HN: How one finds contracting/consulting jobs at BigCo's?
Hello,

There are people who do contracting for big companies (NetApp, IBM, Microsoft, etc...). How to find such positions? Part-time is as well rarity among engineering jobs for such companies.
Yes, he was convicted on all counts, and murder-for-hire was part of count one.

So why are you convinced he wasn't convicted of this charge?

This is true in most states, have done this in both Virginia and California. I was surprised at how easy it was, just a matter of sending in some information. The things I had to supply in both cases were:

1. Proof that we'd been living together for 1 year

2. Proof that we owned joint property (in our case a car)
The actual argument is:

Step 1: Eliminate disincentives to work.
Step 2: More people produce things of value.
Step 3: We have more things of value that can be distributed.

Do you believe that there is no additional productive labor to be done? I.e., it would be completely useless to build more community gardens, fix our "crumbling infrastructure" or provide free daycare for working mothers? (I'm being naughty, by stealing common left wing tropes as examples of things the idle could produce.)
in mold making for example, being able to chamfer some edges and keeping other edges very crisp (along the seam) is important.

Weapons were on SR in the early days, but were removed with the launch of "The Armory", a weapons-specific site. That site didn't last long, and eventually died for lack of interest.
Thanks. I was talking about the genesis of the first bond. And the debt refers to the debt the goverment of the country gets when "creating money". So that the money created its created trough a loan from the CB. Then the high-powered money serves to cretae more debt money. But its a complex process that i havent studied yet and its allways nice to have a conversation about money.
It fills me with confidence when even a company has obviously never read its TOS and it's riddled with hilarious glitches like this:

2. The failure of the Payment Processor or Campaign Admin to pay Contributions to the Beneficiary. 1. Checks that are incorrectly processed, lost, or stolen.

3. Your Member Content."

That's a lot if firsts!
Oh, Yes! In a previous job we developed VoIP servers (pbxes). One day a customer started experiencing some really weird problems and I was asked to debug it.

I logged into the server and started analyzing traffic, turned out that traffic on a upstream VoIP switch didn't always match the traffic leaving the server I was debugging. It was as if a identical system was getting and responding to parts of the traffic. - and after some more debugging I discovered that there was a older identical system online somewhere in their server room. Years ago - all services had been stopped, the system backed up and migrated to a new server. One day there had been a power loss, and when the servers rebooted, the old system everyone had forgotten about launched it's previously stopped services - causing the customer all sorts of weird VoIP problems.

Oh god yes. A few years ago some labmates and I discovered that a post doc had set up an entire computer cluster of 30 workstations / associated infrastructure, colocated it at a data center nearby, then left without leaving any documentation. Everyone that knew the cluster existed left soon after, and so labmates that arrived later were running simulations on their personal laptops while this cluster sat idle. We discovered it only because my PI received a large bill for rack space and remembered it existed.

This blog post was written for _us_. Not for Starbucks.

It was written as the result of the pathetic replies that he got from them. So of course, it's going to sound _malicious_ because he's probably quite annoyed by their actions.

If you wanted to put a spin on things, you could claim that OP didn't actually contact Starbucks, and has just written this article to wind us all up ;-)

You can do those things I guess. But folks don't want to pay for them. In the end its an efficient market, right?

Clearly we'd all increase our standard of living if folks created more. Its just an equation involving what people are willing to do vs what folks with money will pay. Labor-intensive things have pretty much been priced out of a market. And our service economy means everything involves labor.

Imagine McD's and friends automate the whole store. What do those millions working there for minimum wage do then? Gardening, daycare etc don't pay even that well.
This bug seems to happen on a few devices only, so it might be good to know for some of you.
This idea of "hate" is silly, as is "coerced". I simply propose that if we are paying people who claim to be unable to find a job, we might as well get some productive labor out of them.

If you believe that there is no productive labor that the government can perform, that's fine - I guess you oppose all new spending?
Bayesian in the sense of the so-called Cult of Bayes, who seek to apply formal reasoning methods to optimize personal knowledge bases and outcomes. See also: Eliezer Yudkowsky,http://lesswrong.com/ .
I feel like Adams uses the word "science" to mean lots of different things in that article. It can be a process, or it can be "the people who perform experiments to see what happens", or "the media reports on those experiments", or "the government policies influenced by advisors who followed the media", or so on. This makes it hard to unpack precisely what he's saying.

But I don't think it's about assigning blame. He's attempting to describe a situation and how it came about. If all the public sees is the media's irresponsible reporting on journal articles, then for current purposes it doesn't much matter if scientists themselves are trying to correct the media. The public will read the newspaper, the newspaper says science says X, and X turns out to be false. Then they read the newspaper telling them science says Y, and they won't believe Y.
ACC just imposes safe driving behavior: proper spacing for the reaction time.

So if just 20% of humans were safe drivers (spaced out properly,) then everything smooths out.

That, or perhaps 0.5% of drivers could intentionally go at the average speed.

While integration between git and ipfs is good -- I'm not sure I see how this is much different from just tar-ing up a git-archive and creating a torrent/magnet (setting aside many of the other aspects of how ipfs and torrents work).

Decentralized git pull for only a given hash isn't all that interesting?

If one could pull in updates and/or push changes -- that would be "decentralized git". This is example is more "ipfs.io as a transport for git-releases", rather than "ipfs.io as a transport for git"?

It's not that extreme of an opinion. What is extreme is thinking the Ross Ulbricht is somehow a champion against the war on drugs, or that his conviction should be considered as representative of a pattern.

Either way, people don't question these punishments because they don't fear them. And the don't fear them because they don't aspire to be drug lords or murderers.
I thought about that regarding semicolons, optional braces, newline placement, consistent placing of whitespace in general; then I decided having the machine tell me where I need to do more work is all very well and good, but what I really want is a program that will do the work for me instead.

I know in New Zealand, you've got the right to redo tests with whoever you want (i.e. private labs).

So, if the prosecution has said that your DNA was found at the scene or something, you can then get that test done privately (yes it'll cost money) to see if it matches up. You can do this as many times, with as many labs as you need.

Is this a normal thing in the US too? I'm assuming it is. If my assumption is correct, then wouldn't another lab doing the same test come to a different conclusion?

That is true for the goverment printing but the central bank printing its just printing i mean if you follow the chain to the creation maybe the BIS or something. Because when you print money you don't pay interest to anyone so instead of borrowing you could just jump the middleman and just print he is printing anyways. If you borrow you need to pay exponential sums. Using inflation to collect taxes was normal when the logistics were a nightmare. Its dangerous maybe but not necesarily bad and there are a lot of financial gambels done by goverments which are more dangerous.
The method i used had to do with a race condition related to transferring between cards, just like the OP.

Either way they should be paying more attention to this type of exploit, considering the history of the issue. I think they may have updated something and had a regression, the big question is how long has it been like this.

... and, of course, the rebuttals to this were mostly of the "no true Scotsman" flavor. "It's not the fault of scientists, it's the bad media". Let's ignore http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1182327/ (Why Most Published Research Findings Are False) and many other similar results - we have to defend scientists because!

Look - I'm an engineer. I use a sort-of Bayesian reasoning: I started from what I learned as a child and then kept adjusting probabilities. You (plural "you") wouldn't be surprised if I told you I believe most politicians are liars. Well, I got to "most scientists are wrong" the same way. Sure, I didn't actually talk to most scientists, or even heard about them; those I did hear about, though, are at best misguided.

In any case, my original argument wasn't about the scientists; my argument was: most people treat science as a religion. They feel very superior to the religious people who are accepting everything they are told uncritically and then turn around and accept everything that is prefixed with "science says". Ten years ago, I used to make fun of people for believing the Earth revolves around the Sun - I have yet to find a single one who could do better than "that's what scientists say". That is arguably worse than those who accepted the Ptolemaic model - for one thing, they could at least see that the Sun was rising and setting.

I don't understand this comment. In blackjack you play against the dealer. Dealer plays a fixed strategy. Your cards are dealt face up. Showing or not showing emotion doesn't enter into it.

As an aside, since this is HN, I thought some portion of the audience here might be interested to know that the code for the Silk Road marketplace appears to have been in PHP, using CodeIgniter as the framework:

http://www.wired.com/2015/01/heres-secret-silk-road-journal-...

"In any case, I decided to rewrite the site in an mvc framework as suggested by my benevolent hacker adviser. So, while still manually processing transactions and responding to a bigger and bigger message load, I learned to use codeigniter and began rewriting the site."
What I found weird while reading this article was that they all said the results would be "nominal" and nothing will realistically change regardless of if the DNA tests were actually erroneous.

Uhhhh what? If people were sentenced for a crime based on the fact that their DNA matched with the DNA found at the scene of the crime they supposedly committed, then surely there's a massive problem here? Just one case of this would mean an innocent person has been rotting away in prison for the last decade... and it won't just be one case!

I'm confused as to why they're not thinking this is a big deal.

You're completely correct when you say the public was made to believe DNA testing was completely foolproof. If you're in court, being prosecuted and they prosecution says that the DNA matches yours everyone instantly thinks you are in fact guilty. If you've got a jury they'd all think the same too.

I thnk this is a really big deal, but I'm not in the US so I may be missing something (again). :-)

Ask HN: Developing a REST User API – Python or PHP?
I am intending to make a new REST user API to let users log into future web apps and projects of mine.
I am equally fluent and confident in PHP and Python and I realise that there is no straight answer to this but which would you use and why? Additionally, how should the user data be protected in transmission? I just want a fairly simple user API ... so its a question of PHP or Python, and then security.
For me it's waaay more than just that. Email, search, stock Android, DNS, browser, texts, phone calls, GPS, calendar, tasks, file storage, music, stocks, and certainly more that I'm forgetting.

The most absurd bit is that, since I use stock Android, Google knows exactly what I've installed and even monitored my behavior while using their app store, and yet I get so irked by Twitter getting a list too. It's like I've completely forgotten that I've already thrown away my privacy.

> How can you be sure the cars behind you aren't even more compressed

Because, uh, you don't drive slow.

You drive at the average speed of traffic. Not slow. To smooth out the traffic waves, you don't come to a halt, and neither do you rush forward. "Average speed:" that's when it's not fast, and also it's not slow.

---

Myth: if you have an empty gap, you must be a slow driver!!

Debunked: yes, genuinely slow drivers have big gaps ahead, but those gaps are continuously growing. If a clot of cars is going just 1/2MPH slower than average, then the gap increases rapidly: growing a half mile for each driving hour. If that clot of cars was 5MPH slow, then in just ten minutes the gap would increase by over four thousand ft.

But on the other hand, a constant-sized gap does not decrease your speed. Whether you're 6" from the car ahead, or 6ft, or 600ft, your gap has a constant size, and you're moving at the same speed as traffic ahead.

Slow drivers do make empty gaps, but empty gaps aren't any proof of slow driving.

Heh, so maniacal aggressive tailgating doesn't actually get you to your destination any faster? AMAZING! Who'd have thought!
Because they are unable or can't be bothered to setup receiving payments in a legitimate fashion. This is one good example.

Yes, doing it properly, with sufficient guarantees for all parties involved, is hard, probably way harder than it should be, but there are good reasons why payments are governed by all kinds of rules and regulations.

Paypal is a shady business that allows other shady businesses to cut corners at a high risk. People take that risk because they are either lazy or have no other options, and this is an example of the former.

Especially since it concerns crowdfunding, and not a straightforward transaction of goods for currency, I find it hard to have any sympathy for the "victim". Being a small business or non-profit org is no excuse for playing fast and loose with other peoples money.
It's been said, but really, it should be opt-in rather than opt-out. If you really need this, just ask. If I'm feeling particularly nice that day, I might even allow it, but when I discover their mischief after they've done it, there's no way I'll be okay with it.

If there's one good thing, they remove the data they've collected from you if you opt-out. (But it'll be already fed to the machine learning system, I guess.)
I think it's probably easier to learn the phonetics of Chinese than reading/writing at first and bootstrap from there. Most of the written information in Latin languages are contained in the first and last characters of each word, while in Chinese it's in the outer edges of each character. The tones are a bit tough for non-native speakers, but they're very consistent so once you "get it" it becomes much easier.

Also you need to actually visit China to take advantage of the "extending the number of people you can communicate with" benefit.

Centrifugal – a set of real-time tools on top of Websockets and SockJS
Agreed. I spend most of my time writing non-semicolon languages like Ruby, Haskell, Scala, Elixir, Clojure, and Python. As a result, I never developed the semi-colon reflex that a lot of Algol-family language users built up. I constantly forget semi-colons even after all these years, and my own inability to remember annoys me.

I used to skip semicolons in JavaScript because I could never remember to include them. Using a linter with Emacs made it a non-issue; I get a warning in my editor immediately when I miss one.

PS: I'm really enjoying Rust, so maybe this will be the language that finally forces me to pick up the semi-colon habit.
