It's kinda a permission thing but not really. When I got married it was just like registering a birth. The city clerk took our information down (name, address, etc.) and had us sign the license under oath that it was accurate. Then the civil officiant just checked our IDs and signed off on the license that we agreed to be married and submitted it the the clerk. We then went back to the clerk to get a copy. The city clerk wouldn't have gave us our license if we showed up without ID or if we were like 12 or something but there really wasn't an "approval" process.
Yeah, but that's something you need to be prepared for. Such bugs happen in literally every platform (for instance, I had similar trouble with the JVM). So the question is not how to avoid them, but how to cope. Usually, there are 2 ways:

- workaround

- investigation (and in this case, if you're on a closed platform you're busted)

> I understand, and accept if a family wants to have 3 adults. Or 4 adults. I'm even OK if children are raised in that atmosphere.

Do you think that it serves the interests of the rest of society to offer special benefits and protections to 3-4 person unions? If so, what? Is there a size limit on such unions? And under what conditions do they begin/end? If one person leaves the union, is the entire union abolished? What if two leave together? Can you have a divorce that turns one union into two or more? What happens with property and/or child custody in that case?
> In particular, the daily closing price is what is used to

placed on a given day, and orders may only be placed
once per day.

Umm....... I don't want to shit on someone's hard work and maybe I'm reading this wrong but as an FYI to anyone who wants to try modelling like this....

I read this paper a couple of days ago when someone forwarded it to me but I'll say that any time a model works by buying/selling at the closing price its usually broken.

You generally can't just buy at the closing price as you dont' know what the closing price is until after it happens. MOC order accepting markets aside.

Or put another way, if you back test your model by assuming you can trade at the closing price its really no different than saying "hey my model works if I can look into the future to see what prices will do and then go back in time and trade with this knowledge".

Having said that, here's what I like about this paper....

It goes into atleast a tiny bit of depth covering the mathematics behind their idea.

I see lots of programmers who say "I don't really know math but I want to get into algorithmic trading but I don't really know math well, how should I start?"

And I think I break more than a few hearts when I tell them to start by learning math.

And even if you know math well, I'll leave this for thought.....

The biggest mistake that most engineers make is that they figure they'll throw some machine learning at the market and start making money. its my experience that creating a trading strategy is 70% to 90% market intuition with the rest being the math and implementation( where implementation will be the computer code to execute the trade when the conditions are right).

Remember, every day 100's of MIT Phd's try to apply machine learning algos to all sorts of markets and instruments. It takes a large amount of hubris to think that someone with a compsci degree and no market intuition can walk in, fire up R and start making money.

I don't have a Phd, I'm just a computer engineer who still leans very heavily on my math text's and wolfram alpha whenever I try to solve a differential equation so it can be done, you just need to put in the effort and be willing to lose money while learning!
Apparently they use "JVM languages", JavaScript, Python, Go, Lisp and Erlang in production.

I may be in the minority, but that would drive me mad. I assume they're not routinely jumping between those stacks multiple times a day, but even so is there really that much benefit that it's worth keeping track of how to do things in that many different environments?

-- "In 2008, when the company was owned by eBay instead of Microsoft , a Skype spokeswoman told CNET : "We have not received any subpoenas or court orders asking us to perform a live interception or wiretap of Skype-to-Skype communications. In any event, because of Skype's peer-to-peer architecture and encryption techniques, Skype would not be able to comply with such a request."

-- "After buying Skype, Microsoft dramatically overhauled its architecture, replacing peer-to-peer "super nodes" with thousands of servers run by Microsoft -- a more centralized approach that may have made it easier for government eavesdroppers. Around the same time, Microsoft would no longer stand by Skype's earlier claim to be wiretap-unfriendly."
I'll tell you it upsets me to see so many homophobes here on Hacker News attempting to argue that those in same-sex situations should be denied the right to marriage.

That looks interesting. However, i'm not really into language-design and compilers and the first commit is from April while the project has only two contributors. Apart from the absence of a standard-library, I couldn't find anything like "attention, this is in beta". Don't get me wrong, I just would be surprised if this really was a stable language developed in under three months.

(Something I was wondering about is that it says "Contains orange standard library stuff" in https://github.com/orange-lang/orange/blob/master/lib/libor/... and "At the moment, Orange has no standard library" in https://github.com/orange-lang/orange/blob/master/README.md at the same time.)

Edit: I definitely was too fast. https://github.com/orange-lang/orange/tree/master/lib/libor doesn't contain any code.

>Is there any difference between the two that's relevant legally

Yes, the difference between how gay marriage would affect the risk of HIV transmission vs. how sibling marriage would affect the incidence of genetic defects in babies.

>Your argument above made some sense when distinguishing overall gay sex increasing from risk increasing, but you seem to have abandoned that in your last sentence

I'm not sure what you mean. Gay marriage will neither increase the total amount of gay sex nor increase the risk of HIV transmission. There is simply no connection between HIV and gay marriage, so it would make no sense to try to use HIV to justify a ban on gay marriage.

>I could say the same about sibling marriage for you

You could, except that it wouldn't be true. Having children outside of marriage is still a big deal for a significant number of people. Unprotected casual sex is, virtually by definition, not something that appeals primarily to people who want to get married. Again, the facts are important. You can't just make up crazy hypothetical scenarios and use them as the basis of your argument.
It is indeed a sincere question! I'd love to whole-heartily agree with you that our country is a bastion of tolerance and courtesy, and in the grand sweep of history we could argue such.

But I would also say that we have persecuted the weak from the start - Native populations, African-Americans, Irish, and Japanese to name a few.

From a religious and biological standpoint our greatest persecution is our most recent - we have (in my opinion) disposed of 50,000,000 children in the womb during the last 40 years for various reasons.

So, while indeed Christians have nothing to fear based on our numbers, I could imagine that in the future that our claim a supernatural relationship with an unprovable entity will be deem us mentally unfit and not worthy of consideration.

Oddly enough our Bible acknowledges us as crazy " We are fools for Christ! [...] We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!" in 1 Corinthians.

The weird bit - from a Christian perspective, we Christians deserve persecution.

We have been given the faith and love of Jesus Christ, and we have not shared that love and kindness with our neighbors. From our standpoint, those that have been given much will be called to account, and (again from our standpoint) we have been given everything in Christ Jesus.

My two cents, if your macro is expanding to thousands of lines of code, your doing something wrong I think. I would expect Macros to expand out to a few lines of code which might have function calls that themselves may contain however many lines of code... but expanding to thousands of lines INLINE via macros seems wrong.
My problem is that the application for marriage created the marriage inequality problem in the first place. We should change the institution to recording instead of application. Just because you were issued one doesn't mean that it was automatic until today.

When you buy real estate, you simply record it. You don't need governmental approval to buy property as far as I know. You will, though, have to pay property tax.

==================

Why did they make Solomon's Temple? It was a direction to look, to focus on, a
special place for meditation, to do offerings, a community center, a home to
God's beauty, that encouraged love of God. People cherished God's temple,
beautifying it with gold and all fine things to show love of God, as great
cathedrals were decorated with astounding, awe-striking intricate art and
gargoyles, incredible devotion to God with hours of effort, toiling and
slaving-away for the glory of God, for families with children to see
stained-glass windows and tomes with ridiculously elaborate calligraphy to show
love of God, from a people who did little else but show love toward God, lived
in dire conditions by today's standards, yet with so much difficulty
scraping-by, found the time to devote even all free-time to God!

12 year olds can't provide informed consent.

> Why not allow brothers and sisters to marry?

I actually don't object to this, so long as they're not permitted to have biological children. The primary reason why incest is bad is because of the genetic damage caused by it; eliminate that problem (by preventing the possibility of said damage), and there's not really that much of a reason left to forbid it (other than a potential "ick" factor, but that's mostly subjective).
They don't have exclusive access to cars currently and that doesn't seem to be a problem. There are a lot of people who won't buy cars if autonomous cars are available.

I guess I just don't see there's much of a barrier to entry now, so autonomous cars aren't much of a negative.

> Marriage has always been a government institution. Religion co-opted it for themselves at a later time.

I don't think that's the full story. I suspect that religious marriage existed long before nation states and most of the current legal distinctions associated with marriage.

Background: Review Signal aggregates and analyzes what people are saying on Twitter about web hosting companies to build a transparent review site.

URL: http://reviewsignal.com

Problem: People generally buy web hosting once every few years and there are very few channels beyond Google and word-of-mouth to capture people at the moment they are considering purchasing. The competition for Google is astronomical (one of the highest PPC areas at ~$20/click). Organic rankings are filled with spam sites touting the highest paying companies with very good SEO (Hello CNET). I've been trying for years to get my SEO up to that level without success. I'm stuck on 2nd/3rd page and have been for ages. It's like purgatory, I've tried build other sources of traffic through PPC, CPM and none have really panned out that well. I've tried creating great content and it has been ok in some niches. For example, for high performance WordPress hosting information my blog has become the go to source. I'd like any ideas on what I should be trying to do next or what I can do to improve what I'm currently doing.

> And that was not in the cards. What you want is not on the table and likely never will be.

How do you figure? Nothing is objectively on or off the table. Nothing is on the table until people make it on the table.
> Why is it not "registration of a marriage" as opposed to "application for marriage"? I think the semantics are important, since "application" implies we are ceding power to the government.

Because you're applying for an official recognition of your marriage for which the government grants various benefits, and the government can in fact refuse it (for siblings for instance)
Since "proper service encapsulation" is mentioned, it may be that each team uses whatever they like, and as long as your component speaks http you don't have to look at what other components are doing.
> People on both sides of the debate agree (if given the option) that the government probably never should have messed with marriage, at least not as the cultural/religious thing that it is.

No, I think religion shouldn't have messed with a societal institution. Religion has no more right over it than the state does. The state makes the laws, not religion.

This is something I can believe. There definitely is a bigger percentage of US citizens and PRs going to Law School, even in the small sample set I have encountered.
Marriage need not be a "government thing" in the modern sense, with all the legal distinctions we currently have. Marriage is inherently a legal thing, in the sense that it's a contract between people.

10% weekly growth for a year will certainly get investors' attention.

However, for a company like this, I think the most important consideration is how you plan to build a monopoly. There are lots of companies proposing to build automated food growing units for families with very similar plans; what stops this from being a race to zero-margin pricing? Why will a customer buy your product in 5 years and not one of the many clones?

People refer to this in lots of different ways--Warren Buffet as the relatively benign sounding "moat" and Peter Thiel directly calls it a "monopoly". Whatever you want to call it, how do you plan to do it?

When will you have the first unit in customers' back yards?

How are you going to price it? If it pays for itself in 5 to 6 years, have you thought about going out with a leasing program? I think people almost never do enough on the financial innovation side.
Now, some people argue that a password-protected SSH key pair consitutes MFA, with the key pair being the "what you have" and the password protecting it being the "what you know". Well, it is wrong and dangerous!

No. It is fundamentally correct. The user can always do all kinds of stupid things to undermine the security of services they can access. For example transfer their token from a separate device (phone) to a generator on the same computer they use to log in (there's even a Chrome addon somewhere), or store passwords in a sticky on the screen... the possibilities are endless.

Still a good article on your MFA options with ssh.
Is there a Clojure/Clojurescript tutorial similar to the Hartl Rails tutorial? I have amassed quite a few Clojure books, but find the easiest way to learn is to build.
Side rant:

I just cannot believe people praising 'Unit Test'-ing. Fellow programmers, how exactly do you unit test a method / function which draws something on the canvas for example? You assert that it doesn't break the code?!

I see some really talented people out there who write unit test as proof that their code works without issues, that it's awesome and it cooks eggs and bacon etc. They write such laughable tests you cannot even tell if they are joking or not. They test if the properties / attributes they are using in methods are set or not at various points in the setup routine. Or if some function is being called after an event is being triggered.

My point is this: unit testing can only cover such tiny, tiny scenarios and mostly logic stuff that it is almost useless in understanding what is going on in the big picture. Take for example a backbone application like the Media Manager in WordPress. Please tell me how somebody can even begin to unit test something like that.

Unit testing is a joke. And sometimes a massive time consuming joke with a fraction of a benefit considering the obvious limitation(s).
For the sake of argument, if you want to marry your sibling, and your sibling consents, are we to judge that? Aren't we holding a double standard if our religious or moral standards are opposed to that? Or are you saying the government should still deny those marriages? A segment of society wants to deny same-sex marriage because their moral and religious beliefs are against it.

Yes, many religions are against sibling marriages, but many religions are also against same-sex marriage.
I have pointed to the call-with-* style which is a general "best practice" for that (it's even mentioned in Google CL Style guide). However, expanding to low-level stuff also has it's benefits for a clearly delimited space (mainly, performance) if you know what you're doing
Why are concurrent GCs rare?
Since the decision rests on the 14th Amendment, it's only about 150 years.

But yes, the right was there all along, but the implications weren't realized before now. It's generally been accepted for quite a while that the government can't discriminate on the basis of a person's sex, but for some reason the obvious implications for marriage haven't been accepted until now.

Sure, the people who wrote the 14th Amendment didn't intend it to say this. But that's because they had a great deal of implied context that didn't go into the law, like "women can't vote," which no longer applies. But if the context disappears and the law as written pretty clearly says X without that context, are we supposed to ignore that?
Some macros expand to a lot of code, especially when doing more in-depth transformations such as those performed by core.async in Clojure where they transform standard sequential code into a state machine with exactly the same semantic but with the added ability to execute, yield and resume like a coroutine.
> I have the joy of refactoring thousands of lines of code just so I can build the new features the 'right' way.

Maybe don't do that. Build what you CAN the 'right' way, accept some shitty code, and most importantly - don't try to kill all the shitty code on your own as a side objective.

Take a step back.

Look at what is required of you personally.

If you can make a case of rewriting the shitty parts, then do that. Presumably if the old bugs are catching up and wastes a lot of time for you and your team, and pisses of the customers, then it it won't be any problems to make the case for rewriting the worst parts. That means that other things have to be prioritized lower.

If you can't sell a refactorization, maybe because it's not worth it - as in no economical benefits, maybe you need to adjust your expectations. Shit happens, also in code. You are not paid to write code "the right way". You are paid to write whatever that brings in the money.

If you can't sell it although there is a clear economical benefit, then find another job.

Good luck.
Except that reality doesn't agree entirely with that model; a large number of opponents to same-sex marriage have expressed acceptance of same-sex civil unions.

However, your point still stands true in the case of custody rights, since same-sex-marriage opponents tend to claim (rather dubiously) that children raised in such a family tend to experience psychological trauma.

I'm really more-or-less neutral on the matter; it doesn't matter what it's called so long as the rights are equal for everyone. "Marriage" is a good-enough term for that.
