You think that if they can tweet they won't have to go out and murder. Let off a little steam on facebook??? Really??? Really??? Obviously they are doing both and by 'shitposting' you mean posting videos glorifying their victims being beheaded and burnt alive. I suppose you think pedophiles should be able to publish their rape vids too? Anything goes right? No rights more important than the precious!

Glad you know that most vets are underpaid. Entry costs are massive - you can't just rent some office space and you cannot really do it alone, there are some single vet practices, they don't make much.

If you think some of the equipment is 100k, x-ray 30k per plate. You also need a territory before you start. It is too easy for bigger practices to starve you out to just pile in 250k and hope for the best.

You have to join a small practice, crawl up through the ranks, getting paid next to nothing, somehow kill your colleagues before they make partner and then you might be in a position to jump ship stealing customers as you go or organize a coup take over the practice by joining with another bigger practice nearby and buying out the seniors.

If you had said lawyer now... I don't know maybe - but I got your american dream point.

80% of times according to this research the robot overlords will not be fooled. Of course, the success rate is little consolation. The fact that it will be applied at all is the problem. People who expect gay people to go back into hiding are the past.

Never mind reeducation camps what about people trying to sell you loafers...

What is your point though? Who cares how it does it? The fact that it can tell gay from straight will have privacy implications for both. Not to mention that it is not revealed in the study how much of the feature set was based on grooming. This is pure speculation. Clearly these trigger points mean more minuses for me and a lack of any sensible discussion of the actual point of the study.

Totally agree! Heterosexual women will have to wear makeup and grow their hair long to avoid being misidentified as lesbians. Personally I think it is wishful thinking on the part of people who think that you aren't born gay. This algorithm will out even the most repressed homosexual as it is not entirely based on 'social characteristics'. Science doesn't care what you think.

And in the context of privacy with regard to public surveillance systems with facial recognition capability your point is exactly what?

Sorry my bad didn't google it properly first, not a spelling nazi - it just makes my brain hurt to look at it.

js library names has become like domains now - everything already taken, boing.js, bounce.js, pulse.js, throb.js, even wubwub.js - hey how about palp.js? meh...no rythm.js is better :) there were too many haches in that word anyway.

Not part or ever will be it seems. Their application officially just recently being moved to the out tray.

e-Stonia has e-Residency, and various other internet-based shenanigans. You can get an e-passport, set up business, get residency, travel documents, online, I think. Just visit your local embassy with proof of id. They are selling themselves as a digital destination/economy. Russia occasionally does massive DDoS there. so ymmv. Not sure how that relates though just surprised it was them. Maybe they are leaking it because they want it nipped in the bud.

The views they disagree with are fascist views so yes duh. they are literally anti-fascists. Have you any examples of them opposing any views which aren't fascist, violently or otherwise? We should oppose that.

Yeah I remember it doesn't apply. This isn't Godwin as we are talking about actual Nazis. The right, the vast majority of decent Republicans want nothing to do with these scum. If you call yourself alt-right then you probably are a fascist. I don't think it is a spectrum.

Reddit is a business. I don't support businesses that facilitate child rape forums. You do. That's how we are different. Other businesses should not suffer for what Reddit does so I use the internet, on usenet other providers likewise, on reddit you all share the blame because you support the same business. I can't tell myself I'm only using this tiny part and those nasty people aren't anything to do with me because it's bullshit, or to provide an extreme example - I don't think you'd use 'just the comments section' of 'Playpen' and be guilt free (or free outside jail). I think you conveniently ignore the fact that there are inappropriate images of children on the site not because you believe in free speech for pedos, you simply don't care enough. And no I don't think pedo sites are a free speech issue - there are things we will not tolerate nazis, pedos, being two of them. I can't believe I even have to have this conversation. I said HN had not succumbed, I should have said '...yet'.

How much free speech you think you'll have when they have their fascist state?

There will be any number of reasons to favor PostgreSQL over the DolphinDB and vice versa.

I have owned various on linux, aix, windows, sco-unix, vax from pick, rms, isams, 4gls dbs, ingres, informix, sybase, mssql, db2, oracle, solid, postgres, mysql to mongo, influx, and redis. I hate them all. I found mysql very slow, much slower than postgresql on equivalent datasets/queries. I had done evaluations before choosing an open-source db for a particular project.

And that really is the crux of the thing - comparing benchmarks is usually meaningless, some don't scale as well, some suit a different kind of application, some need to be distributed, some not, it really is on a case by case basis, what is good in one case is not always the case.

Perhaps stating the blindingly obvious for those getting very het up about evangelism...

I was on digg but stopped using the site as it was overrun by pedos and not wanting to be associated with child-rapists I was part of the reddit-exodus. Reddit was even worse than digg, still is. I complained about violentacres and his ilk to no avail. I gave up using the site 1009 days ago. I cannot understand how anyone would use a site that does not harshly punish anyone like that or want to be associated with such a site in any way.

My free speech/opinion:

and even the Dark Web will allow paedophiles, hit men, and every type of criminal

alt-right? Why don't you call them what they are - Nazis and fascists. They are lowest of all these. There is probably strong overlap. Fascists think nobody should have any rights but themselves.

The vigilantism/collaboration was made necessary by the alarming fact that the people who should have been doing something - authorities all the way up and including POTUS were tacitly sanctioning them, facilitating them, normalizing their behavior.

They present a clear and present danger to the country and free speech. They still have their free speech, they can still cry on youtube. Daily Stormer was just one head of that hydra.

If you know of any pedo, hit men or criminals then reach out to law enforcement and failing that publicly shame them so that the same can happen. None of the above should or will be tolerated.

They get all their best ideas from UK.

If I had a choice it would be tp2 - that's a beaut piece of software you got there... definitely does not suck.

I checked search preview and got 'Jira sucks' ahead of 'Jira success stories'. So yeah I'd say it is a meme now. I don't know if it really sucks that much. I do think it suffers from that crm configurables disease. I can't believe how much time people/companies invest in this stuff, almost certainly people-lint. Often the case is where it is adopted along with Agile as a new shiny methodology with no in-house understanding of either. In one case I've seen is my team had created a shed load of data migration issues as tasks and the business were only communicating issues to the vendor. It was a mess but it wasn't Jira's fault.

I'm not sure about competing in track and field but played professional team sport at the highest level, agree maybe in the gym or on the road you push yourself to the edge and beyond but on the field it is the repetition, the drills and the routines which allow you to express yourself - certainly not running around headless, constantly forcing the pace, will just cause unacceptable mistakes - there is no margin for error at all, you do not want to be 'it'. I'm not sure working at the very edge of your range is the correct expression - speed of thought rather than limb counts and though you are very close to max just to stay alive we were always told to 'play within' ourselves.

As for programming - I've seen countless noobs make things that were far too complicated for them to understand later - let alone anybody else. If I had only one piece of advice to any intern it would be 'keep it simple'. I don't agree with learning everything the hard way, by trial and error because maybe you'll never get the chance to fix that crap you made because y'know there will always be people who can do it to an acceptable standard first time. Life does not always give you do-overs.

So many jobs washing coal coal is so dirty. Dirty as, well, coal. Can you imagine how many jobs? I can't, so many.

So glad POTUS did this. It is a huge waste of money to find out what the general public already know. The health effects are very, very bad! The worst!

This is, for programmers at any rate, terrible advice and something many noob programmers do. If some code is right at the edge of your range then you are not bright enough to refactor it later. I can't say it is a good idea for singers either although I wouldn't know really. Even the best professional sports persons play 'within themselves' only rarely having to super-extend.

Microsoft make more money from Android than their awful Windows phones.

Personally worked on SCADA systems for powers stations but never on windows, all DEC-Unix and Linux in fact how I got into linux in '97.

My kids both nearly teenagers have known only Linux and Apple (except Windows at schools*).

I recall also how many of those years were hailed as 'Year of the Linux Desktop'.

Also 'Linux' desktop - please people don't forget all the work by unsung heroes on e.g. KDE and Gnome apps, package managers, Drake installers, Compiz and Beryl, getting winmodems working, nvidia drivers, goddamn pulseaudio,... you get my drift.

I too was going to suggest the counter-intuitive 'remove the helmets' until you said that. Wasn't it the case that there were some form of padded helmet then? What was it like when there was no headgear of any sort? It is still a fact that there isn't this brain trauma issue in professional rugby. As a former player I assure you the contact is real and I suffer for it every day but thankfully not my brain - (well you be the judge). :)

Which packages would you say are the most glaring omissions? I thought that R would become even more popular now it is on Azure ML - (if you haven't checked MSFT Azure ML out you really should - it's a blast).

I use both (cut-paste monkey!). There seems to be a bit more magic with R, less code. Shiny is pretty cool too.

btw - shinyproxy package was compromised recently - check your download hashes :(

...and all those contacts that you shared without your contacts consent? (not you :) - my friends never asked me though)

No, it is about deleting personal data attached to your user account, not "news articles".

No it is exactly that! The test case was from a man specifically Mario Costeja González wishing for his past financial embarrassments to be erased.
