Explaining how a cell works is not the same as explaining how cells first came to exist. Once a cell exists, given certain conditions, it can replicate itself - we can explain each step in the process with reference to laws of chemistry. However, a different question is: How did this process get started? That's the question this article is addressing.

tldr; heavy moderation actually causes trolling on sites like Reddit.

>taking extreme action against small infractions can exacerbate antisocial behavior (e.g., unfairness can cause users to write worse). Though average classifier precision is relatively high (0.80), one in five users identified as antisocial are nonetheless misclassified. Whereas trading off overall performance for higher precision and have a human moder- ator approve any bans is one way to avoid incorrectly blocking innocent users, a better response may instead involve giving antisocial users a chance to redeem themselves.

The whole thing with Pao got out of control because somebody was routinely deleting comments and shadowbanning people who mentioned the trouble her husband was in. Whether it was her, another admin or a moderator doing the banning that was what fueled the fire.

Moderation on Reddit is insane, a single basement dweller with sociopathic tendencies (99% of forum moderators everywhere) can control the conversation totally, they constantly ban discussion that they don't agree with and there is absolutely no transparency. It happens to be a wonderful way of incubating hate groups by eliminating cross pollination of ideas, but it also tends to piss people off.
As many other problems for which we have half baked solutions, we don't take a systems approach to the issue. We simply want to punish and forget. It's dollars cheaper, but socially expensive.

We could try more intervention, prevention, and while in, preparation to exit and productivity the whole time. We'd have fewer people in, those who went in would come out more productive and ready.

Of course some people are just "bad" incurable, but that number should be far reduced. Most cons should not be treated as pariahs indefinitely, again, with some exceptions. But we should make a good effort to rehabilitate, perhaps, in addition to punishment. Punishment being paramount to victims but rehabilitation being paramount to society.
>Actually, when first formulated by Moore, it was that transistor density doubled every 12 months

No, it was the number of integrated components on a chips, not transistor density.

Anyway, I think the article's statement is fine. Doubling the number of components would suggest that performance doubles too.
Sometimes the 50 different sets of laws is a feature sometime it's a bug. The spec is pretty terrible.
I believe you're conflating laws which are objective and shared with morals/ethics which are subjective and personal. Something legal to you and me can be unethical to you while being ethical to me. Something illegal to you and me can be unethical to you while being ethical to me.
I am actually more interested in the sociological aspects of the early space race. The technology was essentially lifted from German rocket engineers. A significant amount of them who would have been classified as war criminals and tried had their skills not been such an asset.

Wernher Von Braun exemplifies this.

I believe his team only worked on the lower or upper stage. The middle stage was a pain in the butt to develop because the overseer was incompetent, and I think a death occurred (via accident) before they finally got a grip of the situation.

The Saturn V was a stunning success, but it took a lot of work and a hell of a lot of money to get it to that level of sophistication and reliability.
I'm no expert, but isn't there another technique in play as well?

As you get smaller you can duplicate CPU components to make your chip fabrication more robust against errors. If a component is faulty on the die, the CPU can be patched to use the other (identical) component.

What is the most dangerous food at Olive Garden?
There are some services in the UK which I think print out cards (birthday, etc) from internet orders and post them. I hear that handwritten letters work best. Maybe someone in Baltimore could hire young adults wanting to practice their writing skills to write out paid emails from legitimate citizens.
A more idiomatic way to handle this is to arrange the items in the tuple by sort precedence, then restructure the data in the tuple after the sort.

>>> [(b, a) for a, b in sorted(((-(x2), x) for x in xrange(10) if 0 == x % 2))]

[(8, -64), (6, -36), (4, -16), (2, -4), (0, 0)]

However, ocasionally you still need a more complex sorting function. So lambdas are still handy, IMO.
I read this in university and loved it. McLuhan can be a bit heavy-handed (and gets a bit self-important in his later works, imo) but this is a great starting point for anyone interested in media theory. V solid read.
haven't linux package managers (e.g. emerge, aptitude, yum, etc.) basically solved the packaging problem?
No, that would be Kato from Green Hornet starting with the Radio drama on January 31, 1936. Although the evolution of his origin changed during WWII.
This is not obvious at all. Going 3D makes sense for memory, because these devices aren't heat-limited, but for CPUs it's not at all clear that stacking layers would be a win. CPUs are limited by heat, and heat transport away from the CPU is proportional to area, not volume.

Also, CPU costs are driven mostly by lithography, and if you're doubling the number of high resolution lithography steps, you aren't saving much money compared to just making larger area CPUs.
The codebase is now open source as well, in case you may want to contribute :)

I think the rules apply to casual association to prevent former parolees from going back to the same social circles.

I'm pretty sure the rules don't apply to official, especially court-ordered, encounters. Many parolees are required to go to AA or anger management classes, and those are full of other people in the same predicament. The same applies to halfway housing.

I imagine that since this ride was under the control of an official non-profit, the contact was approved.

I'm not a fan of the rules limiting free association and I think it should be considered a violation of civil liberties. I don't know if it's ever been challenged in the courts.

A new chapter of the Cold War technology between the US and China
> Hammock was sent away in 1994, at a time when stiff sentencing reforms around the country were piling more people into prison for longer amounts of time. These included California’s ‘‘three-strikes law,’’ which took effect just months before Hammock was arrested. The law imposed life sentences for almost any crime if the offender had two previous ‘‘serious’’ or ‘‘violent’’ convictions. (The definitions of ‘‘serious’’ and ‘‘violent’’ in California’s penal code are broad; attempting to steal a bicycle from someone’s garage is ‘‘serious.’’)

One thing the article doesn't mention is that California's three strikes law was not the result of Corrections Corporation of America donating a bunch of money to influential state senators. It was voted-in based on public referendum with 71% support. So was Washington's, with even more public support.

You can't get 70%+ of Americans to agree on anything, except apparently putting people in prison for life for potentially non-violent felonies.

D3 is pretty ok with large datasets but I understand your point.

What Shiny does to get around this is natively 'evaluate' the plots on the backend, creating a rasterized PNG file. A similar approach could work for Pyxley (using matplotlib or Seaborn to render the plot, and then sending that image file to the front end) but I fear with so much development time spent on d3 support such an approach would not be natively implemented.
So how do business partnerships share funds? I doubt both partners commingle their personal finances.

Same here.

I get that those emails aren't sent by a human but if I have an issue with the sender's product or service or a question regarding the content of the email being open to replies not only is polite but it also signals that you care about the recipient.

If you want to create customer delight being responsive to emails is a particularly low hanging fruit.

Probably widely varies by profession / lifestyle though.
Renderer-agnostic is nice, actually, when you need to support lots of different browsers.

Some mobile browsers can't do WebGL as fast as they do Canvas, for instance. Other browsers will have a huge speed advantage with WebGL.

I'm not sure if any are faster with SVG, or the relative performance between SVG and canvas. But being able to do some test renders quickly in all three modes should allow you to select the fastest for a particular browser.

Game developers are better off with a game-oriented library, IMO. Even if you used something like Two.JS to do your rendering, there are a lot of things still useful in a game library to justify using it -- and most games will need more than geometric figures.
In the 11 years I've been a web developer, there is not a test where someone disses it for all the reasons you give, no matter who created it, including caniuse.com.

I've also done a ton of cost estimation and I thought this was a reasonably good approach for capturing the "core cost" of development of an app.

What it doesn't capture is testing beyond just design-code-unit-test such as multi-device testing, user testing, user acceptance testing, etc. and all of the change management that goes hand-in-hand with that.
Yeah, wouldn't call this a 'feature'
You are ignoring the vast majority of users, most of whom aren't on HN or reddit, who don't want such control over their systems and just want them to do what they want and reliably so. Apple fulfills that need and does an excellent job of it.

Note: I own no Apple products except for an original iPad given to me on my birthday. I built my own systems from scratch, as a former electronic engineer, and create web sites on FreeBSD.
I am afraid that she is right. The few times I have tried dipping my toes into Reddit, I have been attacked by users so filled with bile they seemingly could not communicate without spewing it up.

It left me just flabbergasted by how little provoked them, or how they somehow thought their behavior was appropriate or justified.

These scattered but blessedly brief experiences have been so horrible that I have completely given up on it. I wish it were not the case -- Aaron Swartz is one of my heroes - but I am afraid this particular legacy of his has just spoiled.

It's already easy enough to make things that only reflect at specific angles. Filtering by exact wavelength doesn't add a lot; it leaves your message visible in sunlight and incandescent light, at the very least.

Plus camouflage isn't very useful in the first place if you have wide-spectrum cameras.

I don't understand what you mean about 'requiring a filter' to see something.

Sorry, I know you're trying to come up with fun ideas, but I think you're going in the wrong direction.
I would be interested in a larger writeup on that system, I like it.
How easy is it to integrate a chart or graph into a larger project? My biggest gripe with Shiny is how difficult is to use the R calculate and graphing functions in a larger project without using OpenCPU as an API.

One minor correction: Trivia are part of tokens, not nodes, which allows to represent things like white space between the if keyword and the opening parenthesis. There is a convenience method to get leading and trailing trivia of nodes, though, but all it does is take the first token and grab trivia from there.

Having worked with Roslyn for the past seven months I'm actually very impressed of the overall architecture. We're using it to convert C# to Java and JavaScript, so we essentially convert one AST into another. I took a few design decisions from Roslyn and applied them to our own AST.
I'm personally a fan of conditional expressions, they're easy to read IMO as long as you're not nesting them.

For instance, I find this unnecessarily difficult to read.

>>> 0 if True else 1 if True else 2

0

But breaking it up like this keeps it reasonably concise, while retaining readability.

if True:
a = 0 if True else 1
else:
a = 2

print(a)

They can also be combined with comprehensions, which can be useful.

>>> import random

>>> ['a' if random.choice((True, False)) else 'b' for _ in range(6)]

['a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'b']

No. As a Californian, it was the appeal of getting all those people off the street and into a warehouse somewhere out in the Desert or on the Coast. Crime in the 90's was pretty bad out here and many people, including myself, had no problems with taking people who would knock you over the head for a dollar and sticking them somewhere until age or common sense had taught them otherwise.

Now, not teaching people about the outside world after they have been in jail for 20 years is pretty dumb. These people who have been locked for a while need mentor and class on how the outside world works.
That seems like an uncharitable interpretation of the rationale behind these laws. One could argue -- completely divorced from sports analogies -- that the third time someone commits a serious crime they are exhibiting a pattern of lawless, antisocial behavior and not merely one-off offenses. (I still don't believe there's much evidence that this approach serves as a deterrent, and it certainly doesn't help rehabilitation to lump many different crimes together -- including non-violent ones like bicycle theft.)

I've proven in open/public court that the military & police are completely compromised around the world, and are not allowed to act as or say they are the military or the police anymore.

They are completely compromised, so any mandatory service requirements are simply taking you too your deaths, in an age where one simple information saturation event will cause the triggering of multiple directed/manipulated energy weapons, and potentially end the world.

Please, fight them at all costs, and deny the mandatory service. I will do my best in life to stop mandatory service, and military recruitment around the world.

Other have proved this as well, and someone, somewhere has intentionally scrubbed it each time.

It's quite a bit of work to make sure that a project is available on all potentially relevant distros and always up-to-date, so that only works for popular projects, and even for those there are often alternative package sources to get current versions on older releases etc.
The problem for these Product Managers is that the incentives between the different stakeholders are drastically misaligned at a fundamental level.

The people in charge of community, design, content and publishing are actively fighting the demands of the parts of the organization that drive profits.

Companies that use advertisements to subsidize free content have sales and marketing teams that need to interrupt the goals of all of these other functions in order to keep the organization alive.

However, if you look at the incentive structure for say a traditional book publisher, the marketing and sales don't actively fight the content because they don't put adds inside the covers. They just sell the finished product.

Sure, market appeal might affect the kind of content that gets invested in by a publisher, but it doesn't affect how the content is presented.
