From what I understand, in some cases where the couple didn't do any estate planning the deceased partner's family could seize the deceased partner's property out of spite, sometimes leaving the surviving partner homeless or destitute.
Maybe its because jetpack sounds like backpack, but this is nothing one person could possibly 'pack'. It needs a big van for transportation.
To me a better description is 'micro helicopter' (ucopter ?), 'macrodrone' or something.

And the video never shows the jetpack actually flying...
That was precisely my point. Many people fail to realize that you can deliberately choose what to be offended by. It's a choice. I could, if I wanted to, choose to be offended by being referred to as a "person" or part of a group of "people."

Expert are allowed to express opinions, but are they allowed to express knowingly false opinions?

For example, somebody uploaded an image promoting inter-racial hate. I'am invited to the court as an expert, and asked "Here is the HTTPS log with the IP address of the defendant, his client certificate (he authorized with client certificate). Does it prove that the defendant uploaded this image?".

And I testify: HTTPS is secure hyper TEXT transfer protocol, but we have an image here, not text. Image can not be uploaded with hyper TEXT transfer protocol.

Is it a perjury?

Football does not require 10 hours a day of training. Even pro players train just a couple of hours per day, with maybe an extra hour of tactical work. In fact, you'd struggle to find any physical sport that requires that much dedication, because overtraining is very dangerous. I knew a few teenagers in professional basketball teams and whenever they were seen around playgrounds they were soundly rapped by their coach. The only exception is pre-season conditioning, but even then you will not get anywhere near 8 hours, let alone 10.

(aside: several retired players alleged that there are loads of unreported cases of depression among top-flight pros, mostly due to the fact that they simply don't know what to do with most of their time.)
it's nice, very similar to my API sans the structured messages thing.
Polygamous divorce doesn't necessarily mean that everyone goes their separate ways. Rather, it could be that one person leaves (and generalize it from there). One or more people want out, and so execute some exit clause in the contract. What, if anything, they take away is settled at that time. Just like a partner leaving a three or four partner company.

It's not a majority vote under monogamy, by the way, so why would it be under polygamy.
All AI articles are equally vacuous. I have not bothered to read them for at least 10 years now.
Some of it. But there are quite a lot of other effects of marriage that have nothing to do with that:

Air pollution in some parts of London is severe. Life-limiting -- people die because of it.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20664807

> The paper, Air Pollution in London, produced by the Assembly's Health and Environment Committee, reports 8.3% of deaths in Westminster are attributable to man-made airborne particles.

> In Kensington and Chelsea it is 8.3% and in Tower Hamlets 8.1%.

> Bromley and Havering have the lowest proportion of pollution-related deaths in London, both 6.3%, but are still above the England average of 5.6%.
Sure it does: The trait of whom you choose as a partner. The trait of the structure of your union.

Agreed. StarCraft is not as hard as people make it out to be. The path to Masters is pretty straightforward and achievable in under 3 hours a day. You just need to be smart about how you practice.
> Here’s the thing, though: We can chuckle at what seems like a nutty, off-base argument — except the author makes some extremely good points. Take, for example, the argument that chess is too sedentary a pasttime for people who were living increasingly industrialized and sedentary lives. This was true, and still is!

Idea: make a chess clock where the two sides are independently powered by rechargeable batteries that start with low charge.

Each clock side is hooked to a separate treadmill, which charges that side's battery.

If your side of the clock runs out of power during the game while the other side still has power, you lose. It is up to you to decide when and how much to use the treadmill during the game, as long as you can keep your clock powered.

Implementation Note: it would probably be better to not do this by actually having the treadmill control the power supply for each clock side. It would probably be better to just do this abstractly. The clock would keep track of an allowed run time parameter, a treadmill distance to run time conversion factor, and then would flag if "allowed run time" + "treadmill distance" x "conversion factor" - "actual run time" < 0.

Reinventing a Nearly Century-Old Typeface Rescued from the Bottom of the Thames
Good to know! That is extremely helpful.
The largest production helicopter ever made, the Mi-26, has a maximum cargo capacity of 20 metric tons, which is already insufficient.

There are startups going for cheap access to space with a much smaller class of launchers. 20 metric tons might well be workable for such a scheme, and it would lighten the control requirement under rocket power, which is admittedly hard.

Also, there isn't even a requirement for the aircraft to be a helicopter, so much heavier 1st stage boosters could be handled. Helicopters would enable much lighter logistical requirements, however.

You don't appear to have any concept of the numbers involved here or the physical limitations, so I don't see how this could possibly be an intellectual exercise of seeing what would work. Saying "just catch it in mid-air with a helicopter," when no helicopter capable of doing this currently exists in the world, and building one that's suitable would be a massive undertaking, is intellectually lazy, not an intellectual exercise.

You know, you're applying an awful lot of assumptions to make the general scheme not work: a particular booster, a particular kind of aircraft,... etc. You can also think of that as informing the limitations of the particular scheme and delimiting the size and purpose of the launches it's suitable for.

I don't see where I'm being sensitive or emotional. I'm just pointing out that your suggestions are, in fact, a whole lot worse than what's currently being done, and are therefore kind of ridiculous to just suggest off the cuff. Brainstorming is fun, but is it too much to ask to do a basic smell test on the ideas before you start talking about them as if they were realistic?

Your "basic smell test" takes very particular assumptions that produce a ridiculous result. It's intellectually lazy on your part to just leave it there.

Interestingly, they're mostly found in official buildings (	fiscal authorities etc.), not exactly environments that are usually known to be particularly risk-prone.

Anyway, though I've yet to use one of those lifts to me they look like a rather ingenious design (another aspect official buildings usually aren't exactly renowned for). Sure, they're not accessible but for most people they provide a more swift experience than common lifts.

This reminds me of the new (old) Routemaster bus models reintroduced recently that allow you to hop on and off while the bus is already / still driving (slowly, that is): Sure, it's a bit dangerous but to those willing to take that little risk and extra thrill they quite possibly provide a better user experience.

Denmark has a state church, which means that the church can influence politics, but also that politics can influence the church. So if church buildings are state buildings for marriage, and the state allows same-sex marriage, then those buildings have to accommodate same-sex marriages.

If the church has a problem with this, it should divorce the state.

In neighbouring Sweden, church and state separated in the year 2000, so when same-sex marriage was finally made legal in 2010, this was simply not an issue. The Church of Sweden can deny same-sex marriages on its premises and by its staff if it so chooses.

I think icons like Oscar Wilde are distinct from the root of why Glee was part of LGBT acceptance developing.

When we watch a show, we think of the characters as people. It helps eliminate the problem of people who don't think they know any gay people. Maybe you don't have a cousin or uncle who's gay, but that guy in Glee was gay, and he seemed okay right? Icons don't trivialize things in the same way, because by their nature they're viewed as different.
I haven't polled my friends on this, but Silicon Valley (where I live) is full of such people. And a lot of us have yards, the area being resolutely suburban, and of course the weather is great (assuming this thing doesn't need too much water).

I don't think a lot of people here want to spend time gardening, but lots of us love fresh vegetables. That's an opportunity, it seems to me.

No I'm speculating. I'm imaging if I lost something involving physical activites I would rationalise it as my opponent being stronger/fitter/faster/better hand eye coordination etc. But how do you rationalise it when someone out thinks you? Deceives you? Displays more cunning and can think ahead better.

I might be making a false distinction but it just seems to be more personal and gets to the core of your being.
What a joke of a comment.

Sleeping Schedules of Geniuses
I think I would avoid describing any social distinction as, "the default," to children. Do you tell them people are poor or rich by default? Happy or sad by default? The whole dilemma is predicated on looking for a world view that fits into simple binaries.

I would tell children what marriage is, as an idea, and when they ask who can get married you can say, "adults, or children with their parent's permission." It seems like you're concerned with fostering bias or bigotry in children. You will, we all will - our children will generally inherit our prejudices and politics. Part of raising children is working to create an environment where they understand how you feel, but also that disagreement is ok and questioning is ok.

The best rifle barrels are probably hammer forged, and indeed that requires $$$ machinery and tooling, but I'm under the impression that button rifled barrels aren't that hard to make.

But certainly a lot more than AR-15 pattern lower receivers, which are not highly stressed by firing (here's a 3D printed plastic AR-10 pattern lower receiver! http://3dprint.com/54163/printedfirearm-ar10-piece/), you need good steel, a big lathe at minimum and I'm pretty sure heat treating is a good idea.

Any proposal to serialize barrels would be shot down, so to speak, in the US now and for the foreseeable future.

So I'll reach out to you guys because I've been racking my brain to no avail for the name of a particular blog, and have come up empty.

The blog in question would have been perfect for this article, as it had both chess related questions, as well as articles of historical curiosity. Math articles, as well, would appear, and any sort of other kind of post that would interest folks who find these kinds of things interesting. I thought the name was related in some way to "meandering" or "useless" or something "trivia" related in the title, but I'm completely blanking.

I would have sworn up and down that I heard about this blog from an XKCD comic (the same one that brought me here 3 or 4 years ago), but when I went back to look at the comic in question, I couldn't find the blog.

I apologize if it's off-topic, but it's sort of inverse-relevant, I suppose?
Hacker News is harsh to people suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect, and doubly harsh for those critical of SpaceX.

That said, your first comment really comes across about as aloof as some non-technical guy saying "how long will it take to build Facebook? It's a website right?"
Exactly. And as the home speeds reach 1Gbps to the home, there will not be enough CGN boxes that will be able to sustain that load, so one of the two options:

1) more stateless mechanisms will be used (lw4o6, MAP) - which do not give the entire IPv4 address to residential users => so even if the service has an IPv4 address, the clients might have to go through the hurdles to get to it.

Service providers are planning to go IPv6-only, and content providers already note that IPv6 gives a double-digit performance increase compared to IPv4 [1]

2) The residential ISPs will debundle the IPv4 from the cost - given that a lot of the sites average consumer needs (google, facebook, youtube, netflix) are already IPv6-enabled. For this case, you will not be even able to see that something is "wrong". Just the users will click on the link, see it's not reachable, say "huh?" and move on.

Curious how they are tracking the rocket's descent to catch it on camera. It seems like they lose visual of the rocket and then are able to re-acquire it fairly quickly. Are they using some sort of infrared or other tracking beacon on the rocket that the camera can follow or using trajectory data to determine where the camera should be pointed?

Also, I'd love to know when these launches are going to happen further in advance. The Launch Manifest page just shows the next launch as happening in June[1]. Is there a better place to get more exact planned launch dates further in advance?

Is recruitment spam a big enough problem?
Like many of you who've been working for a few years, I have a problem with recruiter spam. I often get calls or emails for uninteresting, low paying jobs in the middle of nowhere because of shotgun approach used by many bad recruiters. I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem for people? Would you pay $30 for something that would mean you only received relevant job emails and calls?
Not when you consider the legal ramifications.
"cis" isn't a pejorative in any sense I've seen it used, can you expand on why you think it is?
Neither of these are actually usable in the real world.

The PR shit-storm for Mozilla could/would have been terrible. If you're the public face for a company like that you don't get the luxury of having back-asswards stances on fundamental human rights issues, sorry.

Especially when you operate in a market that's so overwhelmingly liberal in the first place. If he was the CEO of an Oil company, maybe it'd be a different story.

Ask HN: Where does consciousness come from?
I don't mean where does human consciousness come from, I'd guess it is a biological reaction in our brains. But monkeys are conscious, and dogs and plants. Bacteria is conscious, it moves and replicates. Where does that consciousness come from?

Or because bacteria is unaware of itself, is it not conscious? Perhaps consciousness was just a part of evolution and was created during it.
Good comments. The way I have viewed the role APL languages is that you use a general purpose language to do everything up to the point where you have a clean data array, then send it to APL for array juggling, then take the result back into the GP language for all follow-up tasks. Does this sound like the workflow for Q/K and other APL language users? My reading of IBM's APL2 literature is that they intended this workflow with Tcl as the GP language.

The two big things I'm trying to get here are a comparison of how APL-family compares to R in that role and in reaching beyond that role to handle the stuff before and after.
You're confusing the logical consequence with the historical reality.

The historical reality is that the rights enumerated in the amendments were designed specifically to protect minorities.

Yes, "individual rights are minority rights" implies "minotiries get rights". But if the primary purpose was individual rather than minority rights, then why in god's name aren't other more obvious individual rights (e.g., right not to be raped) enumerated as constitutional amendments? The answer is because the legislature can and will do that anyways.
A person can't just poo anywhere they please! I really hope there's a law against pooing in non-lavatorial places.
You're right, it's not a slippery slope. It's a gate we've opened and said that whatever your sexual compulsion is, no one else has a right to tell you that it's wrong. That is a very dangerous gate to open and you don't get to close it after gay "marriage" is approved - others will want the freedom as well.

It's not a red herring because you already have people on HN, and I'm sure many many other places, asking when polygamy will get to share in the same "civil rights".

And to play devil's advocate (and that language is intentional) who are you to say that a child or an animal can't consent to a sexual relationship or marriage with another child or an adult? How closed-minded of you.

We are already giving children under 18 the right to access birth control (without their parent's consent) and the freedom to decide that they are not the gender that they were "assigned" - so why can't they decide who to "love"? And who are you to say an animal doesn't have the same rights, feelings, and ability to give consent as a human? I think PETA and many others would actively disagree.

If you pay attention, I haven't mentioned religion. What I've mentioned is the reasoning and appeal you gave for allowing what is "natural". Who decides what is "natural" and acceptable for human beings? The animal kingdom? You personally? These are not troll questions, these are important questions and it matters gravely how we answer them.
I've asked some "better" questions above. Feel free to answer them.

> You were giving me reasons why the state/society shouldn't allow sibling marriage.

Yes indeed, and then you wrote something completely irrelevant.
While I don't necessarily agree with, say, sibling marriage, the argument about birth defects is not very compelling. This ruling pointed out at one point that an ability to procreate is not a requirement for marriage in any state. Further, genetic testing to avoid birth defects is not a prerequisite for marriage, so why would sibling marriage be precluded to avoid birth defects. Should society therefore only allow siblings or cousins of the same sex to marry because they can't procreate?
Why should the government stop addressing marriage, which is a cross-cultural structure involving people officially declaring their relationship to a community, sometimes via a legal vehicle? Marriage has been independently constructed by many peoples with many variations. Often times we talk about Christian marriage but not Chinese or Greek marriage.

Why do you frame marriage as principally religious, and something the government should keep out of?

There's one way in which governments have screwed up, including state governments, and that's allowing priests to have legal authority. The wedding industry is a revenue stream. In what other way does religion have relation to marriage? Through the laws of Moses, transferred from God?

The government shouldn't be afraid of words. The government should feel free to not trespass upon religion by creating as many alternative marriages as it wants. The government can create a "high-fecundity during wartime" category of marriage if it wants, and grant extra tax benefits. That's a matter of secular policy.

"I really suggest the A41 form for marriage for your case in particular. My cousin and his girlfriend got married under A41 and they've structured their finances like so and so."
It doesn't tell you how/who/why you should love. It simply states the kinds of unions that gain property sharing rights.

You're free to love who/how/why you want, but don't expect special property rights or tax credits unless the government has recognized them as such.
