Because with rape there is an obvious harm and injury incurred upon another. In suppressing speech or taking away arms, what is the explicit injury inflicted? What injury is inflicted in allowing government agents to enter your house whenever they want vs burglars? Because the protections enumerated in the Bill of Rights are difficult to argue that injuries and harm have been inflicted. The answer is because there is/was a legal framework that existed to deal with bona fide injuries and harm inflicted.

This. From my experience at Facebook and Google, FB's open space is way more quiet than cubicles at Google. People in the other cubicle feel like the others don't hear them (they do).

Cool stuff. I wonder what sorts of health problems we might encounter cramming lots of insects closely together that haven't been encountered in nature yet because they simply did not happen at the scale of a farm.

The good news is that with analytics like this, it is easier to analyze and get to the bottom of it.

My first encounter with cricket farming was in in my high school herpetology club with our cricket tank. I always thought it was pretty cool, albeit loud and stinky. I'm going to take a lateral step from that in the future and likely start a small worm box for my garden. I'd love some sort of soil analytics tool to help me out with that.
Ask HN: Strategies to develop front-end apps with incomplete requirements
I work for a large e-commerce company. We routinely find ourselves, despite our best intentions in the following situation:

1. We have an incomplete schema for our API, it's mostly stable but some changes will happen.
2. We know most of the front-end interactions we want, but more will be discovered and some might be changed.
3. Despite 1 and 2, we want to begin front-end development right away (in Angular or Backbone).

We can't be the first team to have encountered this pattern of software development. Are there technical solutions you've seen/implemented/read about to solve these issues? I'm talking more along the lines of app architectures, gang of four patterns or scripts/tasks etc.

I realize this is an open ended question, but while we pursue process and social solutions (more communication, earlier stakeholder engagement etc), are we missing out on technical solutions as well?
Given the design parameters that are stated ("systems", and C++-comparable), one can only assume that it's a typed language with aggressive (interprocedural) inference and monomorphized generics. Ensuring that the inference algorithm has good properties (performance, finding "most general types", matching programmer intent) should be a high priority.

If it wants to avoid the clunkiness of C++, Orange should have concrete answers for how it will solve the problems that those clunky features address: various sorts of inheritance, compile-time computation and value-indexing with templates and constexpr, operator overloading, data layout, etc.

The reason I press[ed] the issue of individual rights vs minority rights is because this quick summary gets read by others, assumed to be what matters, who then later don't believe that the rights belong to individuals, which gets repeated, which leads to the erosion of our individual rights.

Our profit sharing plan pretty much followed the two pool approach. Here's a decent resource covering it:

http://www.pearlmeyer.com/Pearl/media/PearlMeyer/PDF/PMP-WAW...

That is, of course, if you have profits. Also, be careful. Extrinsic motivations like profit sharing doesn't correlate perfectly with productivity and performance. At some point, you're just throwing money away if you're just giving it all directly to employees. You'll get more bang for your buck if you spend first on things that create intrinsic motivations in your employees like a mission driven culture.

Honest question: Do gay couples have to commit adultery to produce children? — OR — Rely on straight couples to produce children whom they can adopt?
All the gay parents out there (including April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse two of the plaintiffs in this case) beg to differ.
I'm not sure why you keep harping on the specifics of the rules. Any different arrangement will always have different specifics, even if the fundamentals remain the same (which they do in this case).
AWS margin is so much higher than your own physical hardware, therefore its cheaper to throw your own hardware at the problem instead of AWS resources (and their built int margin), before finally contemplating spending expensive engineer time on it.
Just for clarity: are you saying that women don't face any oppression in the US? How about Europe?
Indeed, and learning to use a debugger will allow you to gain fluency in new languages and frameworks much faster that the simple, albeit powerful, printf.

I remember needing to learn Ruby and Rails on an existing closed codebase and having the debugger take me right to the core of Rails several times to understand why certain things were done in a certain way in the top level code. This allowed me to get acquainted with internals of Rails and how Ruby's inheritance system much faster as well as the existing codebase that was built on top.
Kevin, thanks for your advice!

1. We definitely want to start with countries, which OT hasn't penetrated yet.

2. Since we will start with restaurants that do not use OT (or similar service), we may consider having only paid plans. And maybe convert to a freemimum model once we are ready to compete with OT in USA/UK.

If someone can send you money, I am wondering if Western Union or MoneyGram might be viable options?

Beyond that, you need to start working on long term solutions. I don't know what that would be in your case. Maybe you were asking for a viable solution to run an online business? I am not 100% clear here.

I wish I could send you money. I can't. I am homeless myself, though homeless in America. I struggle to get enough to eat every month. So I don't have money to spare.

I am sorry for some of the replies you have gotten here. There is no shortage of callous jerks in the world who just don't appreciate how good they have it.

Good luck.
Fosbury flop, mediocre example. High jump was a relatively new sport (~a century vs. humans swimming for 20,000 years) and his technique was only made possible by the then-recent addition of a very soft and raised landing pad. The Fosbury Flop wasn't really an option before that, when you tended to land on dirt 6 or 7 feet below the bar.[1]

Cliff Young, bad example. Young won because no one had ever done a race that long before (that was the first year) and the other competitors slept way too much. Once everyone else caught on the next year, Young never won the race again.[1] The "Young Shuffle" had little to do with it and is definitively not "transformative" or even used by any modern elite distance runners. In fact, the "Young Shuffle" is how anyone runs if forced to slow down to walking pace -- you can watch the "Young Shuffle" live anywhere you can find some elderly hobby joggers out for a cruise.[3]

This isn't clear on the page, but if you look at the metadata - this article is from October 2014
Extending the law that provides special rules for pairing, because society deemed pairing useful, to all pairs is fundamentally different than discussing whether we should be arranging groups larger than pairs.

I'm not saying the second question isn't important, I'm just saying that it's a little unfair to make people wait while we already have a law about pairings in place while we have an unrelated conversation.
Yup, and this led to an imbalance in the officer corps too, with sikhs being disproportionate to their population. Though it's generally not talked about, that imbalance in the officer corp has been corrected. Started during the 1980's.

Another interesting aspect of Indian Army regiments is that they are based on a region or caste for the enlisted members, but the officers can be from any part of the country. So if you're a south Indian officer then you must know hindi and if your parent regiment is say the Gorkhas, they'll teach you Nepali.

Also, there has been a greater emphasis on recruiting from all parts of the country for the enlisted members.
Military recruiting has certainly improved and has become much more diverse over the years. The Army doesn't release this data because of political considerations. Politicians are sure to demand quotas if those numbers come out. And letting politicians meddle with the internal systems of a really good institution like the Indian Army is a sure way to gut it.

To clarify recruiting means recruiting of enlisted members. Selection may be the right term for officers.
I struggle to understand people's language quite often. For example, you say that you won't work with people who discriminate against gay people. Why caveat that? Is it that you're happy to work with people who discriminate against other criteria other than sexual orientation?
I usually find this language reflects how a person thinks, eg. I am gay; therefore, I only care about discrimination against gays.
There is no benefit in your caveat (as far as I can see). It does, however, open up a myriad of other issues. Eg. To discriminate is to choose. Also, one of my favourite chestnuts: positive discrimination is negative discrimination against others. Eg. "I must hire someone who is ____" is the same as "I won't hire someone who isn't _____ regardless of experience, certification". This logic has always baffled me.
Urban planners use this as a method to slow (or calm) traffic, specifically by narrowing lanes with protected bike lanes or diagonal parking on both sides of a street.
SCOTUS has far more than faith. It derives its powers from the constitution, and a constitutional amendment would be needed to destroy it, not merely a lack of faith, and until its destroyed it has the ability to set precedent and make rulings. To say it has no police or armies is simplistic as well, once departmentalization of constitutional interpretation starts occurring, you have a divided nation on the path to civil war. The thought that there wouldn't be Americans willing to take up arms in solidarity with supreme court rulings, and with SCOTUS rulings as their justification is rather naive.

The only time the executive has ignored supreme court ruling I believe was when Lincoln was in charge, and well, to say the nation was divided at that time would be an understatement.
I have seen this type of lift in a parking garage in the US, for use by the garage employees. It was even more barebones than the pictures of paternoster lifts I've seen. It was more like a moving continuous ladder.
It's very meta to realize that this blog post is marketing too. Great execution of the "useful marketing" idea.
You train your own set by posting the document and the classification / category to the service. The training set is then used to calculate the prior probabilities needed by Bayes theorem. Once you have a proper training set, you can post a document to the service and it will return a list of probable categories from the training set.

Your set might look something like this:

Category - Document

negative - I don't like ice cream

positive - That's an awesome idea

neutral - The wind is blowing today

positive - We won!

You'll get a categorization of either positive, negative or neutral.
Yeah this just doesn't seem like an illuminating example in practice. In practice, gadgets for ROP chains are harvested from program text. It's for that reason that so much effort is expended in many exploits on memory leaks that reveal the locations of libraries loaded into memory.

Interesting question from page 6: "How willing are you to accept inconveniences and a loss of privacy in exchange for better security?" Possible answers are:

-As long as it doesn’t impact me very much I’m
not too bothered
-The loss of privacy and some inconvenience is
the price you pay for security
-I’m not, privacy and convenience are much more
important than security
-I’m happy with it, security is the most important thing
-I don’t care, I just assume the government watches
me all the time and that’s not changing

Gay people fighting for their rights doesn't stop anyone else fighting for anything else.

Zero-sum fallacy.

If you want gay people to stop being all annoying and campaigny, then get people to stop persecuting us all around the world.
You're not following my point. NaCL programs are content-controlled. Attackers start out with arbitrary code execution.
Well once you have a CNC mill the only difference between machining the full LR and finishing a blank is in run time.

As to why, I obviously don't know. But the LRs being the only regulated, and at the same time trivially machinable parts probably have to do something with it.
There was a time when homosexuality was considered morally wrong by the majority of people in this country. Polygamy was also considered wrong, as was incest, marrying children, bestiality, and probably some other things that I'm forgetting.

So my question is this: Given that the majority of people here seem to be so liberal-minded that they consider (consensual, non-coercive) polygamy to be fine, is there anything that anyone will still look at and say "That's actually morally wrong"?
A straight person who goes to a gay balers and tries to buy a straight wedding cake for his straight wedding, and who is refused service by gay bakers who say "We don't make straight wedding cakes!" has a case. He was denied service based on a protected characteristic: his sexuality.

If he asks for the cake and the gay bakers say "sadly we are fully booked and we just don't have time to male the cake for your planned wedding date" then he doesn't have a case because there's no protected characteristic stuff happening.

What? That's exactly the opposite of what parent is suggesting (if I understood correctly): marriage should be a private or religious matter and not a legal institution. Also, non religious marriage has been going on for a long time in many countries (e.g. China) and I don't think France is a notable pioneer in that area.
A question, with such high load, why not run it on dedicated hardware with PCI express SSDs? You are paying around $1000-2500 per month for the instance type for that you can get dedicated machine and lessen the total number of servers.
I've spent the last year rebuilding a huge business-critical system from scratch (along with one other engineer). Yes, usually complete rewrites are a Bad Idea®, but in this case product and business decided it was the only way to move forward because the system was in maintenance hell and it was way too difficult and risky to add new features. I discovered why as I learned the architecture, business logic and features of this behemoth pile of spaghetti. Here's what I recommend to do if you're in a similar situation, whether it be a large and great project or a large and horrible project...

- Get a functional dev environment set up where you can mess around with things in a risk-free manner. This includes setting up any dev databases and other external dependencies so that you can add, update and delete data at will. There's nothing that gives more insight than changing a piece of code and seeing what it breaks or alters. Change a lot of things, one at a time.

- Dive deep. This is time consuming, but don't be satisfied with understanding a surface feature only. You must recursively learn the functions, modules and architecture those surface features are using as well until you get to the bottom of the stack. Once you know where the bottom is you know what everything else is based on. This knowledge will help you uncover tricky bugs later if you truly grok what's going on. It will also give you insight as to the complexity of the project (and whether it's inherent to the problem or unnecessary). This can take a lot of time, but it pays off the most.

- Read and run the tests (if any). The tests are (usually) a very clear and simple insight into otherwise complex functionality. This method should do this, this class should do that, we need to mock this other external dependency, etc.

- Read the documentation and comments (if any). This can really help you understand the how's and why's depending on the conscientiousness of the prior engineers.

- If there's something that you really can't untangle, contact the source. Tell him what you're attempting, what you tried, exactly why and how it's not working as you expect, and ask if there's a simple resolution (I don't want to waste your time if there's not). You may not get an answer, but if you've done a lot of digging already and communicate the issue clearly you might get a "Oh yeah, there's a bug with XYZ due to the interaction with the ABC library. I haven't had time to fix it but the problem is in the foo/bar file." You may be able to find a workaround or fix the bug yourself.

- When you do become comfortable enough to add features or fix issues, put forward the effort to find the right place in the code to do this. If you think it requires refactoring other things first, do this in as atomic a manner as possible and consult first with other contributors.

- Pick a simple task to attack first, even if it's imaginary. Get to more complicated stuff after you've done some legwork already.

There are other minor things but this is generally my approach.
Positive number is more specific and accurate than number. I'd have agreed with you.

Individual is more specific and accurate than minority.

This would be more accurate:

OP: The square root of a positive number is a number so the square root of a positive number times another number means it also a number.

ME: The square root of a positive number is not just number, it's a positive number.

OP: So what.

ME: It means we can conclude even more... It means the square root of a positive number times a number is the sign of the non square root number.
You would come across more like you "just wondered about possible schemes" rather than claiming to have the answer if you had said "would it be possible to replace the landing legs with a parachute?" instead of "it seems like they could replace the landing legs with a parachute."

The way you formulated yourself clearly sounded like second-guessing.
This is exactly what I kept thinking of. You could basically do a search/replace of "chess" with "video games" and be pretty close to the sentiment towards gaming in most media until very recently. And with the advent of eSports, the comparison seems all the more apt.
If you get government out of the marriage business, marriage stops being a legal reality. You therefore get rid of the legal status of people who are married. You take away benefits and legal status from straight people who are already married.

No amount of sugar makes "oh, by the way, we don't recognise your marriage anymore" taste any better.
>"Defense of civil unions act" doesn't have the same ring and wouldn't get Republicans out to the polls the same way.

Because its not coded language designed to appeal to homophobes, unlike actual Republican rhetoric. If it wasn't an "attack on marriage" it would be something else.
Makes sense when you remember that the first point of mariage was for children. Whose children is it if there are 4 people in the mariage? The biological parents? What if the biological parents split up and you end up with only the two remaining non-biological parents. Do they keep the child? If they were all equal as parents except... argh. I give up. My head hurts. I am happy not to be the one who makes laws.

This is a very interesting topic.

Netflix is a bit unusual in that they just need partners with big pipes. Their servers can probably fill up pretty much any pipe with only a relatively modest amount of CPU and memory.

This is as opposed to a big database driven site like Pintrest that has to custom build pages for every view thousands of times every second. They are far more likely to be memory and CPU bound than Netflix.

You do understand we can buy things at 33% the price AWS charges, right? And have 24/7 access?

Oh, did you know you can do the same thing at other providers for cheaper? :|

AWS is overpriced.
The argument for denying plural marriage is that, in the US, polygamy has been primarily a tool for subjugating women. Legally recognizing these unions would be granting legal cover to people like Warren Jeffs.

If this view is outdated, and our laws against polygamy are causing people real pain, then by all means let them make their case; perhaps times have changed. But we do not make laws in the abstract, and polygamy in the USA is intimately connected to subjugation, abuse, FLDS, and other ugliness.
If symbols of an object cannot be iterated over, does that mean they cannot be serialized into JSON? Also a symbol doesn't have a unique string representation, Symbol('foo') != another Symbol('foo'), does that mean they cannot be deserialized from JSON?
