We're very much dependent on private companies who of course have their own rights too... but that raises all sorts of questions.

I support these folks right to manage their own service as they see fit, but it's also hard to ignore that if enough decided they would act in bad ways, there would be serious consequences.
It's a bad idea to do that. To prevent a totalitarian state, there should be general and abstract rules that prevent advertising things that lead to a totalitarian state.

Having specific restrictions for nazism can have the opposite effect: people think everything is fine because there is no nazism, but other groups, using similar dangerous schemes will not be regarded as dangerous.
Oh absolutely, some of that was also highly objectionable IMHO.

I want to be clear vigorous protest is a democratic right, including some civil disobedience, but you have to be prepared to accept the consequences and responsibility for your actions. I think the vast majority of the BLM protesters in the summer and the MAGA crowd on Wednesday were intent on peaceful demonstration. It’s the violent assholes on both sides that need reigning in.
Clearly not. But it’s a clear example of where the rest of this society is drawing the line.
Any advice?
Isn't the internet the social institution then?
Do you mean xslt? Xpath always looked like the right-est xml technology to me, but xslt like an interesting idea hampered by a horrible implementation language.

I loaded Windows 2000 in my phone’s browser and watched the battery percent remaining drop one percent every 15 seconds. That said, I’m running Windows 2000 on a phone browser, which is madness.
It may require regenerating all pages, but depending on the generator that may not be particularly expensive - they may cache partial assets, so you replace part of the build asset and then the build is basically a bunch of cat-like calls, which tend to be extremely cheap.

The largest static site I've managed was only a couple thousand pages (2138 pages from the last build log), but the build time was around 8 seconds (8.1 from the last build log) with cached build assets.

I'd be happy using a static generator for most sites.
When PG wrote that and I read it I was working in a Microsoft partner shop developing full-stack MS solutions for clients. In Wellington NZ at the time almost everyone of any significant size, from private to public sector, used MS exclusively (its a little different now, 'bout 50/50 with a lot of mixed solutions).

I couldn't tell where he was coming from - the only rationalisation seemed that he was talking exclusively about the startup scene in silicon valley. Case in point, we would have been surprised if we came across anyone using a machine running OS X, unless it was a personal toy they brought into work.
Been there, done that. Welcome to the club buddy! Name a prominent successful entrepreneur and there's a VERY good chance they've felt the same exact way you do. Yes, even Steve f'n Jobs.

As an entrepreneur I often have people (who are 9-5'rs) saying to me "that's awesome you're doing it on your own. I'm so envious". Yet, they have no idea the sacrifices that are required to make it on your own. The reality is that they are scared shitless to do it themselves. Take pride in knowing you are doing something 95% of the "comfortable" population in the world are scared as hell to do themselves.

Inflation also is a way to get rid of debt. A few years with 10% inflation would do wonders for the debt of most countries, provided that their debt is in their own currency.
They send their families to Europe and the US, becoming "naked officials." I doubt many of them spend much time in Beijing these days; they all have retreats where the air is clean, as well as very good air filters when they are Beijing (official use was used as an advertising point until the CCP shut that down).
This is vaguely the idea behind Joanna Rutkowska and co.'s Qubes: there are lots of Linux kernels in different Xen domains, one for each class of userspace apps (banking, gaming, etc.) and one for each low-level service (networking, graphics, etc.). For instance, if the Linux kernel is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation, and the DHCP client is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution, on a traditional system, anyone on the other side of your Ethernet cable can root your machine. Under Qubes, all they can do is root the Xen domain that's providing networking -- but that's not significantly more power than they had than by being on the other end of your network cable, since that domain does nothing other than networking.

I'm not convinced that Linux is unkillable, though. This thread is about OS X, I'm typing this on an OS X machine, etc. I suspect that if you do a good job of working with people's hardware (Apple has an advantage, of course), you can run Chrome, and you can run anything that's portable between OS X and Linux, you can get pretty far.
And how do you identify a 'top-notch' programmer as a government organization dealing with visas? Seriously. I'd argue 95% of hiring managers in SV can't identify a top programmer.

The problem could be solved easily if H1-Bs could only be given to companies registered and headquartered in the USA. That would get rid of the Wipros and Infosyses etc.
Not two: either of the two. Even better. I already signed up and paid.
This isn't an entirely new concept - explosives have been used for over 100 years to put out oil well fires[1] for example, due to the difficulty of cutting off the fuel source.

I have some rental properties, a truck accessories company, and am 6 months into a startup aimed at the needs of a >20 person company. As you may have guessed, I am the business guy in the equation.
A good definition that has helped me distinguish between these two terms is that, "Leaders change the status quo. managers do not." there will be overlapping tasks and skills for these roles, but one definitely is not the other.
If your all-star engineering team is tied up by the 25mil/year business, you may need their attention urgently refocused on the core product. In theory they could recruit a replacement team and hand off the business, but that also takes time and attention.
How would I get into such accessibility circles?
I'm enough of a jerk that sometimes, if they are at the edge of the road, I will stop and honk. Even if they are engrossed in their phone. Because, in my jurisdiction, it is illegal to not give the pedestrian the right of way at a crosswalk. Pedestrians who aren't planning on entering the roadway shouldn't stand at a crosswalk and not enter.
I, too, have a commenting rate-limiter applied to my account. I can only post about 5 comments in a day before HN tells me to "Slow Down, You're Posting Too Fast".
But that just isn't true. There is nothing in NAT that requires dropping inbound connections, so crappy router manufacturers might be failing to do so right now. If there is no firewall on the device, it won't prevent inbound connections, no matter how much NAT it does.
You're right that the individual tasks don't feel much faster. What's impressive and more relevant to me is that I can do more of them at the same time. I can have Firefox open on a bunch of tabs and a resource-intensive video game or CAD program running and Spotify and Slack and a bunch of Emacs windows and a bunch of terminal and file manager windows and even a couple VMs all at the same time, and can Alt-Tab freely among them (or even put them on separate monitors). My desktop doesn't break a sweat in the process. My previous desktop (with an early-gen i7) could handle a fraction of that under the same operating system (Slackware). My desktops before that under any operating system handled even less, as do most laptops even today.

And that's with 16 cores. The 3990X is gonna have four times that many. That's four times the number of things my computer can be doing at the same time at the same per-core load.

My work laptop, according to htop, is running 263 "tasks" right now (which I assume to be processes+threads). If AMD can in the next few years pull off another quadrupling like they're trying to do with the 3990X, then I'd be very close to being able to give every process and thread on a computer its own x86 core. That's fucking ludicrous.
Hi! I'm Chris Horvath, the author of Flicks, formerly of Facebook/Oculus, currently at Cruise Automation. I'm happy to answer any questions about my most-talked-about-single-line-of-code.
Amazing. I wouldn't have guessed it was that far back.
This is already a problem in the US with things like "chocolate" and "cheese products." This lawsuit isn't going to be addressing any of that. My concern would be if this lawsuit is going to have a detrimental effect on decreasing meat consumption in the US. Or maybe it'll just add another example to the list of foods that aren't what they say they are, so next time it'll be "chocolate," "cheese products," and "vegan."

Let's face it learning a foreign language is one of those things that everyone would like to do but are either too busy, or not committed enough to do it.

Similar to fitness, those 2 barriers have spawned an industry of 'learn in your car', 'French in 30 days' and videos by polyglots who sell the idea that language acquisition is easy.

Now I'm going to tell you the hardest part of learning a foreign language.

There are no shortcuts. It takes time, it takes dedication and it will most probably cost money.
The original paper considers this and finds that to be of limited if not negligible concern. The experiment designs were extremely meticulous and even included the original authors whenever possible.
I think Samsung does it with facial recognition on the Galaxy S's lock screen. Should work better and better and you don't need an additional sensor.

EDIT: So does Kinect for Xbox one.
Thai is tonal and they mostly keep the tones when singing. Music is a recommended way of learning Thai.
> For the planet, sure. But for economic analysis its irrelevant.

No, for economic analysis overpopulation is very relevant. Maybe not in the extremely short term, but in the long term when overpopulation strains the finite supply of goods like energy and raw material, this becomes very relevant. In addition to the fact the reversing man-made climate change would also take incredible capital and resources to pull off, it's actually probably one of the biggest things to be seen in economic analysis.
They are not static but to say Hinduism originates from Buddhism and Jainism is just nonsensical.

For example, the first mentions of meditation are in Vedic literature and you can still hear Vedic hymns in temples.

Also, Bhakti movement origins are not that clear cut. There were similar but minor practices in the BCs.
I don't blame technology for the stagnation of the American middle class. I blame poor leadership, but I think there's something else going on that isn't getting a lot of press: latency skew.

Instead of waiting two to three days for a piece of postal mail, we're annoyed if that email takes two minutes. I'm not going to moralize about "instant gratification" as if it were wrong, because it's mostly not conscious and it's not a moral issue; we're just being neurologically retrained to resist delays. From a website, 10 seconds means "never": it's down, or in an unusable state. We're also (some of us, at least) at a ridiculous level of comfort; we have people who program their garages to heat up 30 minutes before they leave for work, because they can't stand the thought of 45 seconds' exposure to winter cold.

What's not becoming instant is human learning. If something can be learned quickly and will become rote, we can now program a computer to do it. So the things that we need humans for tend to be those that require subtlety or experience. That hasn't gotten faster. It still takes 6+ months before someone is good at his job. That's not a new problem. It's just less tolerated because people are more primed to expect instant results. So we're seeing an aversion to training people up into the better, more complex jobs that technology creates.
This website is utterly unreadable on mobile without an adblocker.

I thought something named the Smithsonian magazine would be better than this yet here we are
Set and setting are paramount. A depressant can behave as a stimulant in a particular setting and vice versa (for example alcohol at a sporting event).

In certain settings psychedelic experiences are even possible without any chemical ingestion. For example on meditation retreats and ultramarathons.

So I don't think it's incorrect to call psychedelics a super placebo. The mental states they bring you to are entirely achievable without their use, albeit with far greater effort.
Disagree. I work remotely so nobody ever sees my screen except for me. I prefer dark mode because it's more comfortable on my eyes.
You may think so, but in the end money wins.

A lot of people even take Chinese money, even YC opened China office for a while, which they closed a couple of days ago.
Interesting, and looks like the present choices have evolved over time.

Seems like they are moving towards a structured RL implementation. There are elements of it, a follow-up post on some components would be interesting.
What you're talking about is a feature of common-law.

I'm talking about civil law or codified jurisdictions. The ancestor comment confused the US for being a (mostly) codified system, which is why I quoted that, but it was really about describing civil law as being "precise and consistent".

In hindsight I see that it's confusing...
> Instead of paying a Lord you could literally come to America and be given free land by the Federal government. It was a huge reason we rebelled against England in the first place.

Yeah, because America had more lands than people, because European settlers (whether willingly or not) managed to wipe out most of its previous inhabitants. So it could literally afford to hand out free lands, and because it needed people, it lured people with that promise.

I'm not sure what's that got to do with property being sacred. Surely all those European lords and merchants also considered their own properties extremely sacred.
The recent trend of introducing separate "light" and "dark" modes is a band-aid solution to the larger problem: modern interfaces lack contrast. Everything is either mostly-bright or mostly-dark, and I find both physically tiring.

I was playing around with a virtualized copy of Snow Leopard last weekend. Coming from modern macOS, what I find most visually striking is always the range of tones. The beautifully deep gray window chrome fades into the background, and pushes white content to the forefront without rendering it blindingly bright. Colored accents on interactable elements make the interface easy to scan. When I squint, I can still see everything.

You'd never consider adding a dark mode to this interface—or at least, I personally can't imagine what one would look like, because the interface is neither light nor dark to begin with. The result is far easier on my eyes.
The interpretations you've suggested go far beyond interpreting PG's argument in the strongest possible terms, running instead to interpreting it as a completely different argument. (Although I suppose that's not very charitable of me).

Obviously anything is unobjectionable if you agree beforehand to disregard any interpretation you could possibly find objectionable.
A very large number?

I will now attempt to give you a more helpful answer that might indirectly answer your question. In the other HN thread out there today "Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did you make?" one of the answers is from Wes Bos who made a book and series of videos on Sublime Text editor. He claims, and I have no reason to believe he would lie, he has grossed $80k in 3 months selling the book at $45 and the book and videos at $60.

Is the JavaScript engineering market large enough to make money off of tutorials/ebooks? I would say if the content is good, the writing is well done, and the marketing is fresh, you will do exceptionally well. If Sublime Text Editor can bring in that kind of money, can you imagine JavaScript? Of course, the flip side of that coin is market saturation.

Another way to answer this would be, if your biggest concern is potential size of the market, you should be golden. It is huge.
It's commonplace for savvy users to never trust the DHCP-provided DNS servers, and DNSSEC is available to detect when responses from your trusted DNS server are being hijacked and replaced with lies.
Whatever happened to that "git-based" document format Linus said he was going to work on?

They have protocols for that and generally follow them.
Yep. In some places viewing strangers as a sales opportunity is completely alien to the local traditional culture, but I don't think Middle Eastern cities are amongst those places.

This reply already gives too much credit to the original claim. The acoustic vibrations generated by mouth sounds could physically cause damage, like an opera singer breaking glass, or shouting next to a microphone.
Hey! I know that clicky clicky sound well as you ratchet on the film onto the wheel I even have a similar style developer tank only a bit smaller.

I really miss doing that it's been I get 20 years since I've developed any film it's amazing how time flies. Digital photography just doesn't have the soul of actual film photography it's missing the physical connection. Although I don't miss the stink of the fixer.

It's 120 rollfim too for medium a format camera which would give a nice image since it quite a bit larger and has more surface area than a 35mm negative.

For such old film I figured this would have been done in a lab not in a kitchen I'd be concerned with water temperature with such old film. Maybe even soak the film in water to let it hydrate a bit maybe since he indicate they rolls may stick they've been rolled up for so long.

I do wish I had a better method to scan my old negatives and skip the printing part I did try it without much success in the mid 1990s with my first flatbed scanner.

Interesting stuff! It makes me want to pick up the old cameras again.
If you forget to write view for the Mul case, does the compiler issue an error? (in other words, is it strongly typed?)
The one I was thinking of is https://youtube.com/c/FascinatingHorror - they aren't quite as in depth but cover a lot of different events.
Ah. Thanks for clearing that up! That makes a lot more sense in hindsight.

On the other hand, the cross-immunization to SARS1 and MERS is not surprising, since the mRNA vaccines were developed for these and modified for SARS2. (It is not a completely novel vaccine and "rapid development" was only possible, because a lot of basic research was already done on SARS1/MERS. Would have taken a lot longer to identify a molecular target otherwise.)
Coffee-script is just synthetic sugar with some build in constructors for syntax elitist like rubyist or pythonistas, it not any different than using plain js. It does not save you for the quirks of js or give you any "improvement" beyond the syntax. Is a nice language, but don't put i like is something more of what it is.
So it only counts people that count ;)
Just kidding witchya – best of luck!
Guess, github bought sublime.
Perhaps you are really bad at game design? (It's okay, so am I.). You made a clone, you haven't understood the mechanics, and you call the original genius because your random changes don't improve it?
Maybe it can't. However, I'm not sure it really makes all that much difference. I really doubt most people need even two significant digits of precision to monitor their diets. It would be enough to take a baseline and note changes to about one part in 15. However, one can't market that degree of precision. The American public naively demands unreasonable levels of precision as a proxy for quality. I wouldn't be surprised if such considerations have influenced GoBe marketing.
What is there to say about porn startups that can't also be said about non-porn startups?
I believe this is one of the main reason people try to call out the presence of trolls (particularly as government or corporate shills) on forums, especially if they do it preemptively.

If you believe that an opposing point of view is objectively wrong and mostly upheld by propagandists, you want to prevent people from actually considering "the lie" for their own safety.

Of course, doing this usually leads to an argument and tea-leaf reading session that creates a bigger distraction than the trolls (whether they exist or not) probably could have managed.
> So that second failure mode is actually pretty common, and so even when that happens, it's normal to take the person into a side room, search them more throughly, talk to them for a few minutes, and send them on their way.

From what I am hearing from others, normally people barely even get that much special treatment after a non-transient false positive. Agents suggesting "Maybe it was 'Innocuous Product X'" so the passenger can say "Yup, that is probably it" seems to be common, but not the sort of treatment they are going to give to people that they have a bias against.
Yup, this is the one I'm used to and it weirds me out when it's not supported. Apparently unheard of on OS X though, which is probably why so many web devs make sites that break it by stealing PgUp/PgDn.
Surely 1-5 applied to Basic. Why not VB6?
I still think foxpro/visual foxpro and more recently delphi was the most accesible dev environment.

I still have not found the easy and power of fox to do data task and the RAD way of delphi in any tool I have tried...
no they didn't. (what alternate universe did you arrive from?) And /not VB6/ because microsoft lost that battle. And not java, because sun lost that battle. And not flash, because adobe lost that battle, and not unity, because they haven't, and won't win that battle, for the same reasons all the others lost.
No offense, but you're the one misinterpreting what I wrote with hyperbole. Show me the line of the Constitution that lets you travel by air.
> Don't you think you're taking this a tad too seriously?

Those words echo through my head every time I click open one of these threads on HN. It's like suddenly the rich white guy is getting oppressed, so we're obviously in a police state! Never mind for the years leading up to this point, the US was doing much worse shit; they just happened to be doing it to minorities.

And you can see it in this thread. Everyone concentrating on the fact he was detained, not the reasons, when the whole damn article is about how the US treats people who look like they're from certain countries like default terrorists.
They added team-wide password/security stuff.... but it's paid users only. Lame.
