God I hate these titles. It's potentially faster than dolphin kicking within about a foot of the surface, or in very shallow water. That's all. If you're trying to swim fast, your underwater is going to be deeper and that last foot is about the transition anyways.

So why shouldn't this be faster than freestyle? We know that deeper than a foot, this should be the same as dolphin kicking. That's the current mode of underwater competition swimming, so we have a good comparison. If dolphin kicking is faster than swimming, we'd expect to see swimmers staying underwater until the rules say they have to surface. We see that in backstroke, so underwater swimming must be faster than backstroke. We see some butterfliers go to the limits too, but not all. For sprint freestyle, however, they surface pretty much immediately, so as you could have inferred from the clickbaity title I'm calling bullshit.

Besides, the glibc developers did optimize memory and string operations, and the result was that people moaned because their buggy Adobe Flash players crashed because they were relying on particular implementation details of previous un-optimized implementations of memcpy that were explicitly not guaranteed by C99.

I tend to use a hybrid approach, but In general I try to identify the entry point of the code which will lead me to the core datastructures and possibly event loops that act as a central hub for any other code that is called.. That is I look for some kind of dispatch pattern that Integrates the rest of the system, routing and calling different code when needed. Once you identify this "hub" you will have a good mental model and the system and its high level components. From there you can delve into different subsystems and slowly tweak and make changes to be sure a code path does what you conjecture it may do. Using a debugger is helpful at certain points to explore depth of the code.. When you can get a small tweak working as expected you probably have a decent starting model of the code base that you can easily add to.
No, I wouldn't be convinced. There's a big difference between the two kicks and being underwater is a lot more efficient.

We are Blue Seat Media, a startup product studio in Cincinnati making apps for baseball fans. We're more inspired by Pixar than Fox Sports and our goal is to capture the magic of baseball in an industry that is inundated with bad design and middle-aged men arguing on the radio.

Question: how do we sell this to investors? I'm a designer and the CEO. I'm good at making a product that people love but I'm bad at fundraising. We are out to make only high quality products, another hard sell to investors because high quality takes more time (money).

We have a great product that fans will absolutely love, we just need help getting it out there.

I agree, but I don't think you can be disappointed from this ruling. Getting the government out of marriage is not an option for the court to take, and it wasn't the issue before them.

If we want government out of marriage, it'd have to be done through Congress and a reformed tax code.
No, they won't have to. I'll speak to this from the perspective of the Catholic Church, and how they'll avoid having to perform same sex marriages.

The Catholic Church can already deny anyone a church/religious ceremony. Suppose I'm a Catholic and was married within the Church and later divorced. If I don't receive an annulment, the Church will not allow me to remarry within the Church. I can still go elsewhere, but the Church will not perform the marriage or acknowledge it as valid (a later annulment can get the Church to change its stance on this marriage).

Similarly, the Church (in the US) typically requires 6 months of marriage preparation. If you refuse to go through it, they will deny you a marriage within the Church (a friend of mine went through this last year, they were impatient and couldn't wait the extra 4 months apparently).

With regards to same-sex marriage, the Church's stance will not change (certainly not in our lifetimes), they'll continue to view same-sex relationships as sinful. Consequently they cannot, from their perspective, sanctify a marriage of that sort. This is not, fundamentally, different from the other reasons they use to deny people a Church marriage.

Edit: Regarding your second paragraph, yeah, I hear that a lot. But they're ignoring the cases where the Church already denies marriages. I already had this discussion with a coworker who happens to be a Catholic deacon this morning. It's frustrating that so many Catholics (and others) don't realize that they've already got the freedom to deny anyone access to the sacraments. I can be refused communion by a priest if he knows that I'm an (unrepentant) philanderer or drug dealer or murderer or that I've been excommunicated by a bishop. They are not obligated to perform baptisms just because someone asks if those asking aren't willing to go through the steps and agree to the things the Church requires. They won't ordain me just because I walk up to a bishop in a cathedral and ask to be ordained. A church marriage is a similar sacrament that the Church has laid out requirements for, and refusing to comply with those means you won't get married in the Church.
Hey HN,

What we do:

We're building a community of vehicle data (http://shadenut.com). Mechanics and DIYers will be able to look up any piece of information they need to work on their car directly from their phone while still under the hood (ex. torque specs, TSBs, fluid types/capacities, etc). As a developer I've seen the positive effect that StackOverflow has had on our industry as a knowledge base and am trying to do the same for the automotive industry. The data will be crowdsourced and 100% free to use.

Our Problem:

Our biggest problem is that the product is not really usable unless it contains EVERY piece of technical data about a model, after which it becomes tremendously useful. The most common feedback we get from technicians is that they'd love to use it and contribute once it's a complete database (as long as it's accurate) but wouldn't switch from the paid competitors until then. The data is all available but there's simply too much of it for a small team to manually import. Our current strategy is to start with a select few models and incentive technicians to make their own entries.

However, I'd love to hear how Kevin and Sam would solve this or from others in the HN community who have faced similar problems.
> It sounds like our hypothetical baker can't object to giving service on any grounds by your explanation. Are there truly no limits in your mind?

Of course there are limits. There are all kinds of legal bases for discrimination. For example, if someone comes into your shop and starts screaming at the top of their lungs you can kick them out and refuse to serve them. But you can't legally discriminate based on skin color, gender, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or any other legal behavior that occurs outside of your shop.

> Must the Muslim baker need to bake the gay marriage cake and deliver it to the ceremony just because some customer wants one made? Must the Christian baker bake a cake with a pentagram and goat head on it and deliver it to the sacrificial altar just because some customer wants one made?

If they offer delivery as part of their service, then yes, they do. If not, then they don't.

> Shall we force the black baker to bake a rebel flag cake with some racist epithet on it because some a-hole customer wants it?

That's a different situation. That's forcing the proprietor to make a particular kind of product rather than serving a particular kind of customer. If a white supremacist orders a cake from a black baker, then the baker has a legal obligation to comply (assuming the customer conducts himself civilly in the store). But no, you can't force someone to make a cake with the word "nigger" on it just as you can't force someone to make a cake with the word "fuck" on it. You just can't make the decision on whether or not to make the sale based on who the customer is.

> Can't we back off here and simply respect one another's personal or religious beliefs?

Of course we can. But we can't be legally obligated to.

> If the baker doesn't want to participate in the target celebration based on personal or religious beliefs, why not just amicably part ways?

Because that's not how we do business here in the U.S. Here in the U.S. if you want to run a business you are not allowed to serve only white customers no matter how deep and sincere your belief is that black people are the spawn of satan. Ditto for handicapped people. Ditto for Christians and Muslims and Raellians and atheists. And ditto for gay people.
Hm, I thought that was just in case some other process was using the disk. I mean most of the time, you can yank a FAT32-formatted drive out without losing data.
No, your local Catholic priest is not required to open the church to gay wedding ceremonies, just as they are not required to perform weddings for mixed-religion couples, or divorced persons, or any of a number of other reasons why they might object. Now, your local Justice of the Peace who happens to be Catholic? That's a different story. As a government employee they cannot discriminate.
I was disappointed too but then a comparison might not be fair. Most swimmers have had a lot of frontcrawl practice and it would take a lot of commitment to achieve the same level in this stroke
Currently, are Catholic priests required to perform marriages for non-Catholics? I think they are not, even though the right to not be Catholic is constitutionally protected.

But just in case, the majority did insert language making clear that this is about what the government can and can't do, not about what religions can and can't do:

Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those
who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate
with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts,
same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The
First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and
persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach
the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their
lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to
continue the family structure they have long revered. The
same is true of those who oppose same-sex marriage for
other reasons. In turn, those who believe allowing samesex
marriage is proper or indeed essential, whether as a
matter of religious conviction or secular belief, may engage
those who disagree with their view in an open and searching
debate. The Constitution, however, does not permit
the State to bar same-sex couples from marriage on the
same terms as accorded to couples of the opposite sex.

>Gay marriage would most likely have no significant effect on male-to-male HIV transmission rates. In contrast, it is quite obvious that legalizing sibling marriages could encourage siblings to have children, thus increasing the risk of babies born with genetic defects.

Is there any difference between the two that's relevant legally? And do you have any more robust defense for the distinction? 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.

>If you seriously think that there are lots of gay men out there just waiting for gay marriage to be legalized so that they can have lots of unprotected sex, then you really need to increase the diversity of your social circle.

I could say the same about sibling marriage for you. "If you seriously think that there are lots of siblings out there just waiting for sibling marriage to be legalized so that they can have lots of unprotected sex, then you really need to increase the diversity of your social circle."

I wasn't expressing any opinions on what any particular law would lead to, just that the reasoning being used was inconsistent.

>You can't just imagine any old wacky scenario and use it as the basis of your argument -- it has to be plausible.

But this exact scenario is the basis of the argument above against sibling sex.
Thanks; it's very valuable to learn from your perspective.

> Long term, religious people are worried that our institution and faith will not be allowed to continue if a super-majority deems us unworthy - as we have seen through history.

A sincere question: I can see that risk for small religious minorities facing a history of discrimtination (e.g., Jews and Muslims). But most people talking about this are white-skinned Protestants and Catholics. Have they ever been subject to discrimination in the U.S.? And aren't they the most powerful political grouping in the country?

There was discrimination against Catholics in prior generations, but I don't see that now (just look at the Supreme Court!).
None of those are "my viewpoint is the only important viewpoint" nor "all change I don't like is bad".

On the other hand, butterflies remember things from their caterpillar lives, after their brains turned to mush.
The Supreme Court can be overridden by a Constitutional amendment, the process of which empowers state legislatures--either to approve an amendment offered by Congress, or to go around Congress itself with a Constitutional convention.

So, I think it is incorrect to say that today's decision takes the matter of same-sex marriage out of the hands of the people, or the hands of the states. Rather, it raises the bar that a government process must meet in order to discrimate by gender when recognizing a marriage.
Marriage is not about religion or personal belief in the eyes of the government. It's a business contract that has everything to do with money.

Well, what do you want to know? I have many horror stories, actually, I just had 1 today - it took me half day to upload 6 Income Statements (6 spreadsheets) to our Company official tool (HFM). This should take no more than a couple of minutes. Other story? Try to run an Opex (Operating Expenses) budget when you need engineering, cus service, mantainance, etc., departments to all give you costs estimates and then try to track those costs (BPC is one other terrible tool that is supposed to help you with this kind of need). I am talking +500 cost centers each one split in cost types, each cost type split in natural accounts. Getting data and dealing with data in those cases can be a nightmare.

But you are right, there is a reporting part too to it. It's just that I think the sharing and data handling piece is the real key. There are many decent reporting solutions out there, none that integrates a serious data sharing/integration solution (I am also referring to data feeds from other systems, other painful topic). One other big topic is integration, companies do not know what an API is, so getting data out of systems usually requires jumping through different hoops of terrible UIs and button clicking.

But hey, if the topic sounds interesting for you and/or others, feel free to send me an email.

well the idea is that a word's meaning can be derived from its context (those context clues from grade school strike again). The co located words are simply the context. Since "ship" and "boat" frequently occur in similar contexts, they are similar words.

Honestly, this blog post felt like they were trying to explain word2vec for the hundredth time, but tried real hard to explain it differently--so much so that it just made it more confusing.
You seem to be missing the argument that a Coke is not a Coke when someone cannot afford the Coke and has to buy Shasta.

I'm not arguing in defense of luxury brands. I live an incredibly frugal lifestyle. But the argument that a Coke is a Coke does not hold up when you move outside of commodity goods and enter the realm of luxury goods.

Luxury goods are the counter example to a Coke being a Coke. The argument that a Coke is a Coke is that you are drinking the same Coke as the President of the United States of America. Even if you're just some bum off the streets.

That argument fails to hold for any luxury brand item. The bottle of wine you hold in your hand is not the same bottle of wine that the multi-billionaire is holding in theirs. The inequality and "spending money for spending moneys' sake" is explicitly encoded into the practice of selling "prestige"/luxury items. These items are designed to separate the wealthy and the poor. Coke isn't designed that way: it's a confirmation bias. Selecting data that supports a given claim while ignoring all data that counters the claim.

I make no argument as to whether luxury goods are a good or bad thing. Only that it is naive to think that income inequality is not widespread or a "problem" because "everyone drinks the same Coke". That is simply not true in many other markets and regarding many other goods: many of which are entirely designed and priced to be outside of the commonmans' income level.

>"What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it. "

The richest consumers do not buy the same things as the poorest in many markets. Sure, they drink the same Coke. They don't drink the same wine. They don't buy the same cars. They don't buy Section 8 Houses. They don't buy single-ply toilet paper. They don't buy their generic no-name brand clothes at Walmart. They aren't flying coach.

The difference between all of those markets and Coke is there isn't a luxury brand soda. So of course the rich will drink the same Coke as the poor.
