I have to disagree: a lazy search on Google shows only a few countries where this doctrine is legal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_immunity

I was alarmed that this concept (sovereign immunity) could even exist. I thought, at first, that only in monarchies this could be a thing.
Quite. You would suspect that if we were able to produce an AI with the intelligence of a chimp then a human-level AI would be in reach. The harder step is probably getting to the level of chimp intelligence; you'd have managed to create consciousness and solved the hard problem for a start.
It might be remotely possible if you have, you know, artificial general intelligence with a high reaction speed, and comprehensive knowledge of the parents worldview. Even then it would be very confusing, since it would have to cut in late into sentences or larger presentations when the conflict was detected.

Even if it works, it seems likely mostly to adversely affect the children's performance in school (and not just on the specific worldview issues -- the distraction and stress from all the incomplete thoughts would probably be a general drag on their attention and performance), and their ability to interact with those there.

Every time Buffer did something like this, I was skeptical. I thought this was just a marketing angle and they’ll have to abandon this at some point when they scale.

But I was wrong. Shame on me.

Props to the Buffer team. You’ve set new standards. An engineering candidate referred to Buffer’s salary during the interview and I realized how much they mean to all of us now.

> White people do not think in terms of we. White people have the privilege to interact with the social and political structures of our society as individuals. You are “you,” I am “one of them.” Whites are often not directly affected by racial oppression even in their own community, so what does not affect them locally has little chance of affecting them regionally or nationally. They have no need, nor often any real desire, to think in terms of a group. They are supported by the system, and so are mostly unaffected by it.

This explains why some are moved deeply by things that occurred to strangers. The obvious solution would be to help all people view themselves more as individuals rather than belonging to this or that cultural identity. This includes less personal identification with any group as well as viewing others as individuals.

Unfortunately, the power players that make a living off racial tensions would prefer to keep it that way to maintain their influence.

LaTeX is for presenting mathematical equations, Markdown is for rich text formatting of natural language. There's nothing particularly wrong with Markdown, but it's not really essential for functional chat either. Conversely, chat programs that don't have LaTeX support are useless to me (and a lot of other people).

Markdown "replaces" the parts of LaTeX related to document formatting, but that's precisely the fragment of LaTeX that doesn't hugely matter in the context of chat. Markdown doesn't replace the parts of LaTeX related to Mathematical typesetting, which is the fragment of LaTeX that does hugely matter in the context of chat.

I think the fundamental confusion in Markdown "vs." LaTeX discussions stems from the fact that LaTeX is a system for type setting mathematics, where the emphasis is on the Mathematics part. But people who haven't typeset a lot of Mathematics don't get what the fuss is about.

> Is it ideal to be writing on a whiteboard to communicate your math?

No, it's aweful! Which is why chat client LaTeX support is so much better than the Skype video chat hack, and also why Markdown isn't a replacement for LaTeX.
yeah, I read that kickstarted projects have a huge problem when dealing with providers, everybody wants the biggest share of the loot, they know that the backers reacted well the last time they were late, etc.

As soon as NVIDIA support OpenCL 2.0 in their drivers, which may be this year and is technically possible, but depends on their strategy to promote CUDA. But, you can write OpenCL 1.2 code with ClojureCL and it will work on NVIDIA. Or, if you need 2.0, use AMD...
None. The dams retain enough water to aquify the surrounding land but do not completely restrict the flow. The beavers thin out the older trees making new growth vibrant. The only downside I can imagine is having large swathes of property re-classified as wetlands, so that they fall under the purview of an increasingly militant and militarized EPA.
Pretty cool of these guys to do this.

There now appears to be 3 ways of allocating salary

1) The typical negotiate and keep secrete way most companies work

2) The finance model where everything is public and you get bonus-ed out based on your performance with some discretion.

3) The buffer way where everything is public and you get paid based on a pre existing formula

Case 1 is how most firms work and it kind of sucks for people who don't job hop and don't negotiate well.

Case 2 works well when you:

- make a profit

- can directly relate profit back to an individual or group

Case 3 Not sure if this works well or not, at the very least everyone knows where they stand and that counts for something.

Is there a better way to do this?
It was a quip. Relax.

It doesn't really matter if they get included roadside service or not, since they'll still have to sit around, wait for a tow truck to show up and rescue them from the middle of nowhere, ride in the truck's cab or possibly have to get a separate taxi to wherever the car is being towed, and wait to get charged. This has to happen whether one uses Tesla, AAA, or any other entity (including themselves) to coordinate the tow. It doesn't materially change the argument.
Not 100% confident on how people pronounce "cock" but it's definitely not close to "caulk".

Being a french speaker, I would say pronunciation is closer to "puck" with a k, so go with "Kuck".
Maybe he forgot to include "popular" or "hip" in his list of adjectives. I guess it's also possible that it's status comes across as "outdated" because, as a tool, it seems to have a stronger preference amount heavy svn users (the people that think git's ability to rewrite commits is 'scary')?

Nice to hear yet another non-CS degree holder taking the dive (CS degree holder here). I think keeping tech books like that short is key to success. We don't have the time or attention span to pour through 300-500 page books on tech stuff. I think 140 is in the sweet spot for sure. Keep it up and get on with the videos - I hear there's money in them there hills.
I'm well aware that I'm complaining about something that I'm unwilling to take the time to fix. Given all the time in the world, it's one of the problems on the list; it's just not at the top.

I don't, however, think it ought to take a life-consuming effort to make it stop affecting a lot of people's lives. But unfortunately, it probably will. Not least of which because there are a large number of people who feel entitled to make it affect a lot more of people's lives.

In any case, though, I'm surprised that you say "I don't get why more people don't do this!"; I think it's fairly obvious why more people don't do this. If it were the kind of thing you could spend a few hours doing as a volunteer effort and have an impact, rather than the kind of thing you could spend your life on and possibly accomplish nothing, then more people might do it. On the other hand, if it were that way, then there wouldn't be as much of a problem to deal with in the first place.

Pepper robots to roll out at 1,000 per month
When they came out, yeah, Android and iOS were tiny. iOS couldn't even run third-party apps for the first 6 months, and lacked basic features like cut & paste for the first couple years. Android had a clunky UI. Both of them faced the problem of "What can you possibly do on a 4-inch screen with a tiny on-screen keyboard?"
There are many iOS apps that I wish had equivalent apps on OSX, but sadly they don't. Ones that come to mind are Netflix, HBO Go, Amazon Video, Amazon Music, etc.
> If you are designing something that makes heavy use of String and String operations, and you know it needs to be as optimized as possible, you should consider whether or not you need a custom String solution as part of the design process.

And how do you do that? By writing a test case and seeing what the standard string does. Clearly, we expect things to change over time, so Oracle didn't necessarily do something underhanded here. But Oracle did change the behavior of String enough that people need to hear about it, and perhaps reconsider whether the standard string still does what they need to do.
Uh, what about all the people that count calories and succeed in sustaining a weight loss?

I don't constantly count calories, but carefully tracking calories for a medium length of time was a valuable tool in helping me make better food choices over the long term (which means I consume less calories).

> but instead a note that human reasoning can be accurately transcribed in types

Is that human reasoning or logic? :)

> But it is at the core of other more "right" ways because it as a notion is very composable.

It is and it isn't. Where it counts, it's got some composability problems, like with composing monads. Moand transformers are way too high-order for me to follow (or care to learn to follow) -- remember, NASA said first-level and second-level pointer indirection are fine, but not third-level; I think this applies to high-order functions, too. OTOH, "scoped" continuations[1] compose perfectly, while still being statically typed and explicit about which "monad" they're in[2].

> Nice impure models share more similarity with PFP than with standard imperative programming, too.

I totally believe that, but from the programmer's perspective, that is completely irrelevant. That's something we want to stay hidden, left to those doing PL research. Give us the results -- we really hope we don't need to learn how you got there :)

> Then you ignore that "mathy" imperative programming (and "mathy" OO for that matter) exist and are healthy and probably have a lot to share, too.

Considering that 99% of algorithms are expressed imperatively and invented by imperative programmers, I'd say that's likely true. People doing DB, numerical/scientific computation, machine learning, distributed computing and concurrency research work mostly in C, Java and Matlab -- not Haskell or Idris.

> Types should be studied even if it is conclusively proven that humans cannot stand their UX. Why? Because they are as powerful a language for expressing formal thought as humans have yet invented. We'll figure out the UX someday, but if we step away from the seat of utility then we'll have lost something vital.

I totally agree!

[1]: Scoped continuations are nested continuations that allow functions to pause at each level of the scope (think how nested try-catch blocks work with different exception types) -- I'll post my talk when it's available online.

[2]: Think Java's checked exceptions.
Also, the way HN is designed the dupe-check only works on the last N posts (that are in memory), so if you wait a while you can resubmit without any of the tricks others have mentioned. You'll need to wait over a week, though (not sure the exact time).
I think this level of openness and such a specific salary formula speaks volumes about the work culture and that should partially answer your question.

If my employer made this level of information available to everyone, I would have a great deal more trust and confidence in the senior management and probably wouldn't be job hunting on the side.
Why would you think there are astroturfers for this? Do you really believe the government hangs out on Hacker News to propagandize support for testing biological weapons on unwitting citizens?

It is definitely PR. Airware has invested a lot more into doing its own hardware, its own possibly certifiable low level code than doing exciting things (sense & avoid etc). Heck, no amount of money will let you write a single line of code on their OS for drones currently.

But is the PR going to work ? It seems easy enough to deter the "serious guys" doing some "serious commercial inspection" from using 3dr. The same way people use cisco equipment on their network because they're told that's what you do if you want peace of mind.

Wired's headline is dumb as is the writer's primary hook. "Nobody noticed" except the two climbers who noticed. The article talks about how thousands of tourists didn't notice the difference from the previous day/week....from when they had never seen it before, they didn't notice the change!

I wish the article had talked about how big this actually is. Is it a fraction of a perfect of the cliff, does it make a visual difference? Can locals tell by looking, or is this amount so insignificant that it's barely worth discussing, except as part of realizing how large structures like Half Dome really are?
Yes, this is certainly the prevailing opinion among practicing physicists.

I would like to point out though, that this is a comparison between a few years of tinkering in the lab with billions of years of evolution.
The dangerous features of C/C++ gives you something useful in return -- low level control of memory. The dangerous features of PHP don't provide any benefits. It's dangerous because of poor design.

This might be OK for GAE, but not for GCE - where one project may use many separate git repos.
That's probably because C/++ don't have good drop in alternatives. If I want to write a website, there are at least half a dozen equally mature languages to choose from. If I want to write any kind of embedded systems code, C is almost always going to be far and away the easiest way to go.

I got the chance to play with Holus last month during one of H+'s open houses. The unit itself is pretty neat and the holograms (yes, they are just Pepper's Ghost) is of good resolution. The use of iPhones and iPads to control the perspective is really cool, but still glitchy.

However, my friends and I found no practical non-game application of the technology yet; maybe this is the case with anything new, where it answers a question nobody has yet to ask.

I do agree with the OP that the images in the KS campaign aren't real (or even possible). The Holus simply doesn't look like that and I wouldn't be comfortable if my company was promising images in a KS campaign like that. At the very least, H+ should have added an asterisk on each image that said "CGI rendered" or something to that effect to inform potential backers.
With the small limitations of this, it is mostly a novelty--what makes it interesting is that most FPGA's are much more expensive than $5. So that's cool. Maybe you could implement a SPI slave to I2C transceiver or something like that -- something not so easy to do, but useful for a design. And yes, with only the OTP memory, the external EEPROM makes it more expensive. So at the end of the day, why not just buy a cheap micro for $0.75 with built-in flash, multiple blocks to do cool stuff, and if you are dead set on doing some FPGA type stuff, Cypress Semi has some psoc devices that have built-in logic blocks that are similar to FPGA macrocells.
