I actually went back to look again after you mentioned the radius and noticed that the site tags my number one hit as a bakery when it's actually a store that just sells snacks. (Think mini bags of potato chips, candy, etc. Grocery store stuff.)

I guess the problem with this area in particular is that the people who rate things on Google tend to be tourists and not people who live/work here, so the ratings tend to skew high on tourist attractions rather than places that are actually good to eat at.

(If you were curious, the second result was the AKB48 cafe in Akihabara.)

Design-wise, I never would have thought to look for a radius setting under the location menu. Playing with it didn't help much; I think it's just a problem with people in Japan not rating things on Google. Oh, well!
Plagiarism detection is a somewhat different problem, in that it's looking for specific common text rather than just stylistic choices. Usually it's just looking for high percentages of overlapping ngrams between a test document and documents in a corpus, but two different documents written by the same person wouldn't test positive.

Your laptop looks pretty much exactly like about 4,500,000 other laptops running Windows or OS X with their FDE enabled. Nobody cares; they don't have time to.

Having said that: your rights to privacy are basically at their nadir in this situation: you're opting into air travel, which gives the US administrative search privileges; you're crossing borders, which virtually every country in the world believes gives them the sovereign right to invade your privacy as a condition of entrance; you're interacting with customs, whose job it is to find reasons to hassle people.

So: not the craziest idea in the world to take your sensitive stuff, put it on a USB drive, encrypt that, and just Fedex it to wherever you're going.

You won't need to go through that trouble, but it might make you feel better, and it's cheap insurance.
Or if you're okay with less encryption-strength, `cryptcat`.

No, they're usually function words that are in most documents and, at least looking at a document as a bag of words, consequently aren't very analytically useful. Think "the," "of," "and," etc.

As a frequent flyer, here's my 2 cents:

- transport it bladeless, put it at the top of your bag. In Asia and Europe it gets asked about 1 out of 5 times. You can then take it out, and apart in 10 seconds.

- stock up blades at your frequent destinations (in my case, both in-laws and family have 3 packs of Feathers in a closet).

- if all else fails, buy blades locally - a 5-pack is still cheaper ($2-5) than a Gillette ($10) and can be found in most decent sized supermarkets all over the world. Won't be feathers, but enough for a week.

- if you are somewhere with no blades, which is rare, then there's always the throwaway option. In many countries (e.g. Japan) even the cheaper hotels include a throwaway razor. Otherwise you can buy it at the 7/11 with the toothpaste that you also couldn't carry-on. Some prefer the electric option.

- buy soap rather than cream so you can carry-on. E.g. Tabac Original screw soap. One will last you for years.
I don't think opposition to rent control is a manipulative tool of the wealthy, but rent-seeking is, factually, a tool of the wealthy that can become manipulative.

The renting of property has always been on the uncomfortable border of rent-seeking behavior, and productive economic activity. It isn't really notable to phrase it the way that I did.
Why I dislike systemd
> There's no particular rule of when you use "the" before a name.

In fact there are rules about when proper nouns require articles. While there are a few exceptions, and the rules are sort of tedious, they do exist, as proved by the fact that you usually (90+% of the time) know whether to use the article on a novel proper noun.

Native speakers don't even know that they know the rules. I only learned through ESL education.

You can get started on the list of rules in a few places, this being one: http://usefulenglish.ru/grammar/part-8-articles-with-miscell...

Well retail is different from entertainment where good customer service isn't enough. If you don't produce hit after consecutive hit that makes analyst financial projections every quarter your stock plummets. EA actually tried to do right a few years back by taking a big gamble on two new IPs (Mirror's Edge and Dead Space) but sales weren't enough and they couldn't beat back pressure from the street. If it were privately held with the same results, it wouldn't have had that problem and it could have continued to focus on the long term (both new IPs were profitable, just not profitable enough for analysts on the street). The end result is that the EAs of the world hate risk and they just end up producing sequel after sequel, or buy up a smaller studio with proven hits. The industry landscape has changed as well. Free to play is a huge force now and app stores rule with cheaper distribution paired with cheaper prices for games.

EA also no longer has a charismatic CEO like a Bezos to charm investors. They lost Trip Hawkins a long time ago.
Hi, is it possible I can talk to you on email? Have few questions.

Nothing is absolute. For new, small projects, choose a new unknown. For a big, important one you obviously don't just jump into something brand new.
netcat to the rescue!

You run:

nc -l 5000

They run:

ssh [yourhost] nc localhost 5000

The only issue I see is that you apparently can't get netcat to only listen on localhost so others could join in in theory.

I live in BC, Canada, and here you can find apples, a large variety of berries, pears, plumbs... All growing in random open areas and all delicious and relatively pest free without any pesticides. Even though a lot of those aren't native they seem to do pretty well. Perhaps the fact they're not grown commercially in this area helps... I grew up in Israel where pests were definitely more of a problem but you could still grow many different fruits without using pesticides and I used to pick many fruit off trees for eating... (Mangoes, oranges, and many more). Some of those "large" grocery apples have no taste and a floury texture though we do get some local apples in season here that are good...

Monocultures is a big problem. If you have a good mix you're less likely to have serious issues. It can still happen but less likely. You also need to take care of your trees, prune them, water them etc. if you want to get good fruit... Just let them grow doesn't always work...

You can't connect ssh clients like you would modems. If the machines are on a public network you ssh to another person's sshd, then use terminal chat programs. If you're both behind a NAT, one of you needs to port-forward to your host's sshd, or use STUN, TURN or ICE servers, or maybe just IPv6.

Once connected to someone's host, use the Talk program (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_%28software%29), or the Write program (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_%28Unix%29), or use Netcat (http://hak5.org/episodes/haktip-82) to open a two-way dialogue between terminals. Netcat is the simplest of them all because it just opens a two-way tcp session, and technically only one of you needs netcat while the other just needs a telnet client or equivalent.

The Best TED Talks on Machine Learning
TBH, given the fact that age has no impact on decisions when people join (and quite apparent given the range of ages we have at JetBrains) I'm not even sure why this is on there. I'll inquire into it.
I see, so how long has this -- you can buy a home loan now and bank on rental prices increasing soon. In around 4-5 years the rents would have increased enough to cover the mortgage, and then its time to start shopping for a new building. -- been going on? 5 years? 10 years? 75 years?

There was an interesting article in Bloomberg about Mumbai in 2012 (http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2012-07-05/mumbais-boom...) with the rent control there causing huge market imbalances as India lifts millions of people out of poverty into the middle classes. It reads similarly to situations in Shanghai and Chengdu as a people's wages have risen faster than the housing market could keep up.

The reason I ask about how long it has gone on is that the situation you describe always ends up correcting at some point, (here in the US we called it the housing bubble), and when it does all the people who were betting on the ever increasing rents find themselves going bankrupt because rents cannot increase any further, and that puts them into a financial emergency where they sell, which depresses prices of houses, which results in other speculators also falling out of the market, and you get a really huge recession with lots of people going broke and a bunch of supporting industries (construction, remodelling, furniture, etc) being carried along as well.

I've tried probably a dozen brands. Counter-intuitively, I found that the sharpest were the ones least likely to cut, because you apply so little pressure (and maybe because they notch the hair immediately, instead of sliding down to the skin). Feathers are easily the best at least in my experience, beating even the "premium" offerings from Gillette and Wilkinson and making it easily worth the (rather large) premium; not only are they sharp but they stay sharp almost forever - I've occasionally had several weeks' use on a single Feather.

I cut myself all the time with the cheap no-name Israeli blades (rebranded Personna?), so called it a false economy. Not impressed with Astra either. YMMV - softer hair doesn't require as much cutting.
Interactive Real-time earthquake map
I tried Harry's when they first started. I was excited at the prospect of ditching Gillette. For some reason, I get nicks and cuts when I shave with a safety razor (the last time I tried). I do shave after showering, to keep the hair soft.

But Harry's just didn't cut it (no pun intended). I got many more nicks and cuts with Harry's than I did with Gillette. Plus, their shaving cream gummed up the razor, and cleaning was a pain. So after a few days, I had to go back to Gillette, and Harry's is sitting in the corner somewhere. Maybe it's their 5-blade monster; I don't know.

That's a fascinating comment! As a piano and guitar player only, I have little to no understanding of other instruments. I was shocked when watching Whiplash that drums needed to be tuned to particular keys.

Right. Evolution picked the hyperparameters, and experiential learning picks the parameters. (To first order; certainly there are some instinctual behaviors programmed by evolution and I wouldn't be surprised if some hyperparameters are influenced by experience as well.)
The more likely scenario is a relative of the person killed reported it because they had a similar reaction. People don't understand when they are allowed to have their pictures taken.

Those both essentially do run on wait timers. You can earn the components needed to play at a high level gradually with a limited number of plays per day, or pay to accelerate that process.

This model isn't as harsh as actually locking out from the game if you don't pay, but it sure does move along the same axis of paying to alleviate a time-based restriction.

Steam has cultivated a culture of paying for games, because it's easier than pirating, which is easier than buying physical copies. Given their success, I don't think they need to change anything, especially if it makes anything harder for the end-user; plus its bedrock is smaller, more indie titles who can't afford to implement DRM anyway — so the platform treats them very well.

Apple's watch UI document is there, too. That's interesting. Apple has very tight control on the watch interface. Apple owns the knob and the button; you can't use those. You must use white text on a black background. You can use only one font other than Apple's "San Francisco". Voice input is not a watch UI component; voice input appears to be reserved for talking to Apple's Siri.
This is absolutely awful news. This should be on the front page of CNN in big bold letters: The Department of Education and post-secondary institutions are both utterly and completely failing students in their curriculum.

We teach roughly 400,000 high school students AP calculus every year. [0] How many of them go on to use it in their daily life? Meanwhile, we teach 1/10th as many students AP computer science. [1]

You might note from reading this article that these camps aren't cheap, meaning that the type of people who can afford to make up for the shortcomings by their schools are rich kids who probably went to ivy league schools anyway[2], or people in the middle of their career realizing their career prospects are limited.

I might also state, though I'm not bothered to look up statistics for it, that I believe the demographics of highschools offering AP-CS and AP-Calc are probably mostly districts from upper middle class communities. In other words, rich kids.

The take away from that is that the DoE and colleges aren't just failing the disadvantaged here, like they always have. They're even failing the rich kids! \gasp\

There are two huge causes of this, IMHO:

* Colleges are privatized luxury camps rather than places to get an education. I go to UW-Madison. Our CS chair just left because the state is defunding UW schools and he got an offer elsewhere with more security.

Meanwhile, our out of state tuition is likely to double in price. But that's okay, they'll still pay. After all, we're spending $200M[3] on new flashy gyms. Look how much fun they're having! Fuck job security, I want that! [4]

* DoE and colleges are not nearly responsive enough to the changing job environment. Too afraid to make a leap. Too broke to make a leap. I'm not sure if the answer is common core or not. But I know whatever we're doing now is completely failing.

It's going to be absolutely brutal. If the US wants to remain anywhere near the top of the world, we better start making some mind-blowing startups, because the effect of this isn't a matter of if, it's when.

Thanks for being concerned for the quality of HN! We're grateful for users like you. But please don't flag stories only because of a paywall. Accounts that repeatedly do so lose their flagging rights. You should flag stories because of content, not provenance.

The HN guidelines explicitly call for original sources. We want the best, most substantive version of a story. Other things being equal, we all prefer non-paywalled articles, but when things are not equal, substance should win. Compare the WSJ piece to the originally submitted URL in this case (it's mentioned upthread). There's no question which one belongs on HN.

When there are standard workarounds to read the content, paywalls are just an inconvenience.

The more this comes up [1], the clearer it gets that we shouldn't ban paywalls. The NYT, New Yorker, Economist, WSJ, and others are major sources. HN would be poorer without them.

The results could be horrible, but can imagine a simple technique for hiding all those clues. Just send the text to google translate, translate it to an intermediate language and the back to the original one. I can warranty an excellent t rinse and clean. Change the intermediate language and you will change the features of the final text. Of course, you risk horrible semantic changes in the final text ;)

UPDATE: fix typos.

I think you've already lost most programmers when you even mention the words 'alegbraic data types' or 'type classes'. Devs on HN and /r/programming know those words (or many do), but in industry... good luck.

Not all of California is exploiting cheap water. Some of us (the ones who live in cities) are paying a high price for it and using it sparingly. City water use is less than 20% of the total California water use. The almond crop alone uses more water than all the city residents in the state.

It's hard to make a blanket statement about how much California farmers pay for water since it varies a lot. Some pay literally nothing, due to antiquated water rights laws. Others pay per acre-foot, but usually less than a tenth of what city residents pay. Still others can't get water at any price, because giving water at artificially cheap prices to the first two groups has left nothing to spare. And most agricultural water supplies aren't metered or monitored except at the very roughest level.

However, due to widespread public ignorance and the agricultural lobby, the conversation about growing rice in the middle of a desert (by flooding the fields) will never be had. Instead we get bans on restaurants serving people glasses of water unless they request it, and similar stupidity.

This kind of editor mastery is oft mentioned, but I've never seen it.

Does anyone know of a good video demonstrating editor virtuosity? Ideally while actually coding - not synthetic examples. Any editor, any platform, any language, etc.
Why would you choose an unknown though when there are tons of battle tested frameworks out there? The only reason I can think you would do this is if the framework offered something totally unique or revolutionary, but I really haven't seen that in many frameworks for a long time now.
The article engages in a little bit of hyperbole with statements like this: "Not only is this a protracted calamity for the Internet".

I work in a lot of regions in the world, (Mexico, UAE), where they've been used to the reality that they won't be assigned any IPv4 addresses. I'm talking about large $Billion+ organizations that made it abundantly clear to me, that the applications we were deploying ($100million plus network deployments) - would have to operate with PAT, or we would not be able to deploy them.

And so we worked around the requirements that we deploy everything on PAT, and our network deployments (sometimes with thousands of IPV4 network elements) would have to operate purely within RFC1918 address space.

Speaking as someone who has worked on million+ IPv6 node deployments, (So I clearly don't have a bias against IPv6) I can say with some certainty that the only "calamity" we are going to see is increased use of PAT on clients, and somewhat more expensive IPv4 addresses for those who need to act as a server. Everyone else will be fine. (Have been fine for years in places where public IPv4 addresses ceased to be available).

The reality is that this lack of pressure to transfer to IPv6 means that we're going to see an extended period of time in which we migrate. It will happen eventually (IPv6 has a lot of awesome features, particularly around self-addressing, and lord is it wonderful not to have to play CIDR addressing games, everything is a ::/64) - but it's going to be a lot longer than most IPv6 advocates would prefer.
