I would take everything that mchurch says with a grain of salt.

4e wasn't “discard[ing] a big chunk of its worst, thorniest rules”, it was a re-write to sell splat books and accessories, to try and turn it into pen and paper World of Warcraft, and make it a miniature focused expensive game. It failed. It was D&D in name only and an abomination to those who really cared about it.

5e was the streamlining and modularization that was needed so you could play it like it was 2e, or 3e/3.5e, or even 4e if you wanted to. 5e was a return to D&Ds roots bringing along only the good stuff it had learned in 35 years.

You missed the point where I was describing the Byzantine Generals problem, of which Byzantine Fault Tolerance solves, and BFT solutions are at the core of almost all blockchain protocols. Software imitates life.

The change needs to be coordinated, but how do you coordinate action between multiple actors when some of those actors are nefarious and actually acting against the change?

Incorrect. CryptoKitties, not beanie babies.

So is this four months per new leak found or "half the distance to the goal line?"

Crypto/blockchain and decentralized companies in their various forms. People say it's garbage but they also said that about search engine advertising too.

How can you say they became ruthless at the exact moment they hired Ruth? Aren't they now ruthful?

He only spent one paragraph complaining about perf and promo. I'm not convinced he worked there.

If the New England Patriots/LA Lakers/New York Yankees/Manchester are such a great team why are there so many former players?

Sometimes what the team needs and what you need don't align. Wrong sport, wrong coach, not enough play time, not good enough, hate the fans, etc.

This is the crux of the issue. Your presumption, based on political ideology, that they lack empathy is immediately dehumanizing them. You are giving yourself permission to not have empathy towards them.

Kotlin being used by Android was very much after the fact. In fact the first few public releases had a bug that made it unusable on Android.

> What’s it mean when you get a Hibernate PersistentObjectException about a “detached entity passed to persist”? That took several days to figure out — at the risk of oversimplification — it meant the JSON arriving at the REST endpoint had ID fields with values. Hibernate, oversimplying, wants control of the ID values, and throws this confusing exception.

I found your problem. You're using Hibernate.

> Careful now, can't be criticizing Google too much on HN, they send the wolves for you.

These are kale fed wolves. You'll be fine.

Buying items via MLM is no more immoral than buying a used car through a dealer. It's the abuses of that method that are well known, much like the sleezyness of the prototypical used car salesman. But there are actual good MLM salespeople as well as used car salesmen. The method itself is not immoral (It's not gambling) just some of the practitioners.

That being said every single printed congregational directory I've seen has a statement "For Church Use Only - Do not copy without permission from your local church leaders. Not to be Used for Any Commercial, Business, or Political Purpose" - So there is a strongly worded statement about using church resources for your business.

Or perhaps you were looking for this - https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/additional-resource/personal-...

> Also it pre-selects for people who don't say, "But this story makes no sense whatsoever" after your pitch.

Thanks for exposing your biases, but you are wrong. It's more of a quid-pro-quo exchange on some of these MLMs or trying to be supportive of someone else's venture in your community. Nearly all know it is overpriced and not necessarily what they need, but it is the rapid exchange of social capital that keeps those communities the way they are. Before MLMs it was casseroles, cookies, tools, helping hands, and babysitting.

Without more people society has no future, eventually everyone will die. So you need to make a decision: will my kids be a net negative or a net positive to future society?

In this case with what little I know about seymour333's situation (one HN comment) I would call it a net positive because these kids grew up in an environment where they or their parents experienced upward social mobility. Perhaps mom and dad can't break the middle class ceiling, but since the kids know escaping poverty is a thing that gives them incentive to elevate past middle class.

R.I.P. your TS/SCI clearance. Identifying yourself as part of any project on the internet is quite possibly the #1 no-no, certainly the #1 internet no-no. In fact, this makes me wonder if you really know anything at all.

More progressive campuses use "Active Harmer" because it may be a crazy person with a machete instead of a gun.

And in that case referred to in that story it was a crazy person with a machete.

(a) it is first /inventor/ to file. You cannot patent stuff you (for various values of you) didn't invent. (b) it is still subject to prior art disclosures.

Is the story that 68% of the traffic is naked laundering or that 68% of the traffic is people buying into ICO that are not already enfranchised in ethereum?

Prohibitively difficult. If you really truly need delete then you really truly don't need Java and should use something like C.

Java does memory recovery strictly by garbage collection. To delete an object remove all references to that object and wait.

A "delete now" operation imposes requirements on implementations that are not strictly required.

Any advantages gained from destructors can be realized via explicit cleanup methods and (as a hedge against mis-use) state checking for initialized and destroyed objects. A delete operation also adds risk that an object that has been deleted may be referenced again (although with esoteric stuff like PhantomReferences you can almost do it).

That's not anonymity, that's pseudonymity.

Wow, one of the few cities that competes poorly with Seattle weather.

They are starving because they refuse to eat Kale.

Well, some land lords used to accept options for rent... http://realtormag.realtor.org/commercial/feature/article/200...

Shazam, but for food.

I lived in COS for 15 years, and recently bailed and moved to Boulder.

COS had the good seeds of a tech hub prior to the dot com melt down. Lots of cities did.

But what I think helped drain the potential was 9/11 and the uptick in defense contracting. All the engineers went to one of several contractors and all the non-engineers who would get involved in startups left town because they couldn't find engineers who would take the risk.

It's a great town if you want to work on the fringes, or commute to Denver, or work in government contracting. Since none of those three fit my needs I packed it up and moved to the Broomfield corridor (I couldn't afford Boulder proper).
