He was funded and supported by the Nazis to build up pan-Arab support for Jewish genocide, and lived in a variety of places both inside and outside of Palestine, including Germany and Egypt. He met with Adolf Hitler himself. In the late 1930s while living in Beirut he put a bounty on the head of any Jew, paying 10 pounds per murdered Jew. Here is the Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_al-Husseini

A choice quote, of which there are many: "On 1 March 1944, while speaking on Radio Berlin, al-Husseini said: 'Arabs, rise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you.'"

Note that the calls for genocide started well before 1948. He was fomenting genocide the entire time. His messages during WWII were extremely popular in the Arab world and upon his return to Palestine after the war "Arab leaders rushed to greet him ... and the masses accorded him an enthusiastic reception."
Using the same manufacturers as well known brands might not mean it’s the same product. It’s possible the ingredients are of higher quality resulting in a higher quality product. It’s also possible it’s the same thing, or the quality isn’t worth the extra price.

I remember there was a whole thing a few years ago about fake olive oil and fake grated Parmesan cheese (or what was mostly wood pulp which was allowable per legal definition). I think Kirkland was one of the real olive oil products, but the point is there were differences and some of the expensive brands were real and some were fake.
It's not really shifting the goalposts if your suggestion was donate to Firefox and the answer is you can't.
If you don’t have a friend or family who works there, probably the only way to find out is try it yourself.

However, it may be noteworthy that so few employees seem to be speaking up for the company as this one does.
The key their volume though is they don't really have hard latency constraints. Most of the data flowing through the Terminal is still for human eye balls and inaccurate or laggy data is tolerated. It's not a low latency product.

They do have an API offering but you're unlikely to find serious trading shops using it except as a backup feed.
Bitcoin Cash foolishly believes they can wave a magic wand or “jazz hands” away the unavoidable technical constraints that inevitably led to Core’s roadmap.

Core accepts the technical realities and limitations of Bitcoin’s design and works within them. Bitcoin Cash simply wishes them away and ignores them, and that will eventually cause the whole system to fail.

They’ll learn the hard way what the wiser small block contingent have understood from the early days. Bitcoin Core’s layered architecture is the only realistically viable architecture given Bitcoin’s inherent design constraints.
I agree, that's why I'm keeping my eye on Magic Leap in 2015. If they can really compactly do what their patents show, they will change everything and be a great platform for not only games, but get us away from all these screens in general.
For the bulk of scientists in this day I cannot speak however, Faraday's religious position was not a comfortable moving along with the rest of society in order to advance his career. He truly did believe in Jesus and that influenced his private life as a result. For example, he attended the Sandeman church where he was a deacon.

I was a math major and that comports with my very good MCAT score (although I took it after chemistry grad school). I wound up not going to med school; my boss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_O._Smith was also a math major who was doing biology (and HAD gone to med school). His buddy Clyde Hutchison, was in his day a very good programmer, he wrote one of the first FORTRAN scripts to identify open reading frames in DNA.
How often are you verbally communicating primary keys/id's internally within an organization?

I've never understood arguments against guid's, except for table performance with databases that might take a performance hit because of either inserts, or because data won't necessarily be partitioned in the "correct" order (e.g. MySQL writes to buffer pools).
What’s most cost efficient for the duck curve at scale is single axis tracking solar systems. The added cost produces ~zero extra power at noon and significantly more power at sunrise and sunset. It doesn’t completely remove the issue, but you get about 80% of max capacity for about 90 minutes more in the morning and evening.

EX: http://ujsolar.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/0/4/21043846/9545485_o...

Currently the economics favor regular solar systems, but this will change long before large scale grid storage becomes viable.
And its a universal binary too, so probably half of that per architecture :)
Biaised reasoning: a JVM app requires the JVM and and a web app requires a browser. None of those app are executable y themselves. The only difference is that one of those runtimes is shipped in most OSes (the browser) while the other is not.
How so? I think they mean as a syntactic feature, not having parameterised modules.
That's because it was written by a Singaporean for Singaporeans in Singapore, and they all know well that she is referring to the national ban on selling chewing gum. It was said to be a way to keep the newly built subway system clean, but it has become the go-to symbol of the extent of the nanny state in Singapore when a foreign journalist writes about such things.
any screenshots/video?
> If people realized that a sudden drop in price will mean a sudden drop in mining power, which will mean a sudden drop in blocks being generated, which will mean a sudden drop in throughput, they might be even more eager to get out of it.

I agree with your overall argument but as I understand it, this is false. If the mining power of the whole network drops, the proof of work will become simpler so as to have a roughly constant block throughput. Or am I missing something here ?
My question is why should we only apply this to programmers? What about Mechanical engineers? What about Machinists (there is quite the demand and a very low supply of them if you talk to many manufacturers), what about Doctors, Nurses? Farmers? (there's not much demand that I've heard about the need for farmers, but I think they're important, so I'd like to bring them in to the Country.)

Do we only let people in because of the skills they have? What about the next set of skills that will become more important in the future? What specific set of skills do we let in, which ones do we keep out? What about people who have the potential, but currently lack the skills? How do we find those people?

I don't believe in exceptional programmers, I believe in exceptional thinkers. Programming is a skill, just like any other skill. Some people will be better at it than others. But it's a skill that can be taught. People who are more capable of being the "great thinkers," are more likely to be a better programmer than not, not because of the programming language they know, but because they're able to solve problems. If I ran a company, these are the people I want.

But then we come full circle, who are these people, and do I only let them in because they're "special?"

I also think that way too much attention is paid to what Paul Graham says. Yes, he was successful with certain things, but that doesn't mean he's all knowing and all wise.

As to my biases, I'm all for immigration, but not so much for the H1B program (for ethical reasons, I'm not a big fan of the whole "he has skills that no one else has, so he gets the golden ticket to the chocolate factory. To me, that just means that he/she had a more privileged upbringing than 60-80% of the world. ie, access to clean water, food, education, electricity, computers.)
I think all the comments are going into the survey -- there are over 40 so far. I'll summarise snd post to HN when the survey finishes. Thanks to anyone reading this who took the time to answer and/or up-vote this submission!
> less evil governments of the world (Canada, Britain, the US) have to live in glass cages while the more evil governments of the world (China, Russia, North Korea) can continue in secrecy

A main reason those governments are less evil is because they already live in glass cages.
Can you name a government that isn't cynical, self-serving, and supportive of bad actions?
You should try Zero-Line-Breaks Style. A 64 kilobytes long one-liner would provide appropriate insight into this idea.
Why is it not true? As a child, future possibilities are endless. There's no need to set limits so early.

I hold firm to the belief that I can do anything I set my mind to--even if it means failing a few times.
If he's on windows get him a book on powershell.
It great for automating tasks.
Oh, right I thought per year. I checked and I have about 300 hours of lectures per term, in 10-20 (say 20) person classes. This costs the government and me combined about €10000 per year. That's about

300/180*500/20*24000/10000 = 100x

better value for money than what he's sketching in his blog post.

I'll email you about the misspelling, though. Thanks.
I was asked my GPA at my first job, told them (it was bad), then they made me an offer anyway.
wow, thanks matt, this is powerful!
Growing up I though engineer meant making cool shit. But going to engineering school meant learning things from first pricipals and not making cool shit. I should have gone in to arts and gotten laid more while making stuff on my free time.
Plenty of choice of carrier in the UK and other places. The carrier restrictions seem to largely be a North American problem.
That's pretty much what my reaction would have been if they'd tried to give me an irrelevant flowers-and-kittens writing assignment on the first day of undergraduate physics. I'd probably be seriously second-guessing my choice of university if they did.
You'd be surprised: I sure was.

I got into a long conversation with a homeless guy outside 4th Avenue records (I think that's what it's called? been a while) in Manhattan a long time ago. It turns out that he was laid off from a programming job in a financial firm (this took place in the mid 90's) and he claimed to make over $900/day panhandling. Of course I didn't believe the programming thing, but he answered all my technical questions well enough that either he was one really well read homeless person, or he was telling the truth! However, based on what I saw, I could believe he was making hundreds of $$ per day.

Then again, maybe he was laid off because he just couldn't hold down a job, I dunno!
I know the US is somewhat obsessed with ancestry and that it can be figured by genes. Being German myself I can tell you there is nothing like German genes. Or French genes, or any other European nation as far as that is concerned.
>No number of low-cost games will impair the ability to sell the premium titles

I think they do in a different way. An expensive phone game is $5. Every once in a while a game will try to break that mold and they get mocked.
It's some sort of cyclical recurrence on HN. Everyone is so certain of how to solve/fix it, except they've never worked in media :)
"I also think part of the reason"

I think you missed me saying this?

Also are you suggesting that many people in tech weren't heavily inspired by the scifi they experienced growing up? That seems like a pretty absurd claim.
> It's not each piece of land that you are optimizing, but the community as a whole. If you were to build up Central Park, yes, you could get more income for that space. Because people get less access to things that they want, everyone would move out to CT or NJ. Less tourists would come. The surrounding land would all drop, it would hurt NYC land values as a whole.

How do you propose finding the optimal balance, and even tricker, to encode that into the tax code for computing LVT for each lot?

Let's say paving over all of Central Park with highrise apartments makes NYC less attractive (I'll agree) and that leads to people moving out and housing prices collapsing (I'm not so sure about that, people might tolerate less nice living in exchange of economic opportunity of NYC).

What if only 50% of the Central Park land area is built up? Or 64%? Where exactly is the sweet spot that will extract as much value as possible while still not driving too many people away?

That's all going to be very speculative, there's no way to know exactly. And to encode the optimal answer into tax law? Seems impossible.

Also when you say:

> It's not each piece of land that you are optimizing, but the community as a whole.

Every proponent of LVT I've heard, always says that every plot of land should be taxed based on its maximum economic potential. I had not heard arguments about trying to balance it over the community as a whole. And how do you encode that balancing goal into tax law?
Yay, my university is in the news! :D
I'm making an assumption about your phone, but it is probably broadcasting packets every now and then saying "Hello, is mrfusion's home network in range?" - and that packet has your MAC on it, and can be picked up by other devices.
Even if one could copy a physical item, which likely be a possibility at some point in the future, it's still a form of stealing. I don't know how you feel about it but his reasoning is wrong.
In what way was that sexist? As far as I can see there is no menswear section. The most you can accuse the original comment of is being insensitive to transvestites.
Ah, thanks - looks like I misunderstood what it was doing.
If it only takes a minute, then screenshots might be a better idea.

But yeah, pause/resume for such a short tour is not neccessary :)
Sadly that seems to be the case. Unless I'm missing something there doesn't seem to be too much there for those of us with a penis. Seems like a bit of missed opportunity if you ask me.
Chrome doesn't behave with limited cpu/ram. It likes to "burst". I generally close it when doing anything like gaming or VMing much.
I would be disappointed if these machines were eventually decommissioned because of radiation safety issues. That's not why they're wrong, and it won't help us avoid these sorts of crimes against liberty in the future. They'll just come up with some new, safer way of violating our rights.
I don't care if you're sexist, just keep it out of HN mkay ?

3/10, almost chuckled.
Nice straw man attack. How does that have anything to do with his argument that Uncle Sam helped calm one of the biggest economic crises in history?

Also implying that Moody is corrupt is asinine. Yes, they made mistakes (what credit agency didn't during the housing bubble?), but they didn't break any laws.
Why would taking water with your meals increase calorie uptake?

I would think it would reduce it, since it takes up space in the stomach. Also the effect it has on quenching your thirst so you don't reach for a soda instead.
I haven't worked for any FANG or FANG sized company, the worst I had to deal with was working a large European telco, so my experience may not be particularly similar to yours.

You make it sound like it's either a FANG company or startups, but there are tons of small companies that would love to have people like you. They don't necessarily pay well, but you're going to be important. Most likely there won't be much politics in the way of you doing actual work, and you have much more influence on technology choices, processes and the company in general.

From my experience the most fun jobs are for established companies who are relying on their employees to make a profit, rather than chasing VC funding. The ideal staff size to me is around 20 - 50 people. The majority of the staff shouldn't be doing IT related tasks.
gdb's built-in recording doesn't scale. You can't record across system calls, thread context switches, etc, and it's about a 1000x slowdown during record and replay. (rr is more like 2x.) It is, unfortunately, an attractive nuisance, because a lot of people have tried it out and concluded that record-and-replay debugging is useless.
Ironically, I'm having to constantly check this submission to see if anyone has posted a solution!
Probably under stubbornness. Whatever good things Windows has going, it's not the UI.
Ooh, have you blogged about that anywhere?
That is called blind trust.
"AWS: reach out to dedicated YC email"

How is this an apples-to-apples comparison at all? Very disingenuous. You have a special support tier for your YC company.

I would argue this claim is empirically false.

> and if they're wrong the majority will undo it as the majority will feel the effects.

This assumes the majority will correctly identify the root cause. Whereas, in fact, they cannot do this even in simple cases, let alone a case where the root cause was an innocuous-seeming policy enacted 10+ years ago. Especially while the current politicians du jour are providing dramatic, simple, alternative narratives of the cause to suit their own goals.
> it rings true to me that, generally speaking, renters invest less in their homes and their neighborhoods and have less at stake in the outcomes of those neighborhoods/communities.

Note that this isn't true in locations with actual renter's rights, like Switzerland.
It creates child abuse apologists, like yourself
I'm sorry but reading all this, at a certain point I have to ask: Why are people (students, faculty) playing along with that? Is there not a point where people are willing to stand up for themselves and say: Enough is enough?

Imagine, students would be asked to appear in the nude to write the exams and undergo invasive checks to prove that they haven't got any miniature transmission devices hidden on their body. Would they just agree to this as well? Would the faculty that's tasked to check the students' orifices play along happily?

I wonder what a degree from an institution that treats students (and faculty forced to use this) with such a level of contempt, treats them as a priori cheaters and crooks instead of teaching them honor and responsibility, is actually worth? The name "honorlock" alone is beyond ridiculous for obvious reasons.

In my days (at one of the Ivies), admittedly a long time ago, I seem to remember that we had to complete a lot of coursework at home and most if not all our exams were open-book. I even remember a test or two where we could bring all our notes from class (not that it did you much good at all, the skills they asked for just weren't in the notes). Not one exam was proctored in that sense, I think, although I remember often longing for one as I imagined them to be much easier: Just regurgitate some knowledge onto the page and go home. No days and weeks refining your arguments and making a case for yourself.

Professors also always knew if someone hadn't done all the work by himself. I remember a girl breaking out in tears during a presentation because she couldn't explain the meaning of a rather boastful technical term she had used in context (and apparently just copied from somewhere).

I think, if I had been asked to install this kind of malware on my PC back then so that some incompetent perv could watch me answering stupid multiple choice questions, I would've laughed in their faces and just quit then and there (I did eventually quit anyway but that's because the offer was just too enticing). Maybe I would've set up an elaborate sound stage with green screen etc. and spliced it into the camera feed to fool the proctors first before turning on some holograms or dirty movies, I don't know (this stuff wasn't so advanced and readily available in those days).

The point is, these setups can always be fooled. Always. You should therefore create an environment where you don't need them. Where people are proud of the work they do themselves, where the skills taught and asked aren't "replayed" in a manner that needs such proctoring, and where people adhere to an honor code that doesn't require them to cheat. If you can't teach people that nowadays, then what are you good for?

How broken must the current educational system be that a) such software exists and is widely used and b) its vendors aren't simply laughed out of the room straight away and c) both students and faculty don't complain at least as loudly about that stuff as they complain about certain other things...
I recently started removing Font Awesome from a couple of projects and replaced the icons with inline SVG. This article at css-tricks.com is invaluable for learning how to deal with SVGs as they don't behave like rasterized images.

I've been wrangling servers for way too long. In my experience it is the many utilities that work together in all nix versions and the scripting that makes routine, repetitious tasks much easier and consistent. So much so that I install CygWin on any Windows boxes that I need to maintain. Point, click, drag 'n drop are a pain when you have to repeat the process a couple of thousand times. Of course, you can download and install specific tools in those cases, but then a slightly different task requires more downloads. With nix you simply edit a script to implement new requirements.
The statement iPhone and iPad competitors are never going to beat Apple at their own game seems wrong (note the "never going to"), since I'd say that Android collectively may well beat iPad and iPhone collectively. To say that iPhone is number 1 at present is plausible, to say that there is no threat to that is not plausible.

I'm not going to argue about "my phone is better than your phone"; but Android is definitely in the market and rising: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Android-Has-37-...

I think it's wrong to focus on particular models with Android, that's not how Android is getting traction.
Do you think they are not aware of that ? I think that they know and they think it's insignificant.
Is it documented (and provable) what happens when the Signal app is given access to Contacts and then verifies which of them is a Signal user?

It seems that some information would be revealed in that process that could be mined to eventually de-anonymize people based on relationship networks (assuming nothing easier is possible).

Does anyone here know if there's any reason not feel that is a serious vulnerability?
The 14th amendment applies right now, as is. It's as much of a civil rights issue as it is freedom of speech.
I agreed when I first read the tweets but the explanation about how the tweets have been interpreted as possibly causing more violence it’s now possible anything DJT says on Twitter will be taken as being promoting violence. This is unfortunate but it was Trump’s goal in many of the statements he’s made in the past.
