While true in a literal sense, it's an insane exercise in false equivalence to compare US censorship practices with the PRCs. You will not see political speech treated as if it were a physical threat here.
Hilarious: "This helps to explain why some clearly inept authoritarian leaders nevertheless hold on to power – and even popularity – for extended periods (cf. Hugo Chavez)"

Take former US president Jimmy Carter: "As a matter of fact, of the 92 elections that we've monitored, I would say that the election process in Venezuela is the best in the world." (http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/oct/03/why-us-...)

Compare to the US's Bush vs. Gore vote fiasco where a court decided the vote. (And where the winner failed to win a plurality of the popular vote. Not to mention that most votes don't count anyway, due to swing states; and racist voter disenfranchisement.) Also compare to the powerful Bush and Clinton families.

These authors are from France and the US. If they were serious about improving the world, they'd look at their immensely powerful militant nations. Not far weaker ones.
In the process of building such a service, we've already spoken to a couple lawyers about these issues and it's quite a legal gray area right now. We're working on ways to structure the system to avoid these particular requirements, at least in the short term. It really comes down to how you implement the bartering platform itself as well as the terms under which exchanges are made.
I don't think Patrick would claim to be a "brilliant SEO wizard". He's made mention of friends who are.

Patrick's SEO abilities are notable on HN because he has managed to run a business quantifiably tied to SEO and search advertising. He's hasn't just "done" SEO. Lots of HN people can claim that. He's successfully taken a product to market with it. That's impressive.

Referring to Patrick as an SEO undervalues him. SEO isn't really his schtick. Engineered product marketing is. Engineered marketing includes SEO, but also A/B testing, metrics, optimization, and a grab bag of other "lean startup" ideas.

(Also, in case it isn't obvious, Patrick is popular here because he writes thoughtfully, helpfully, and often.)
When both parts of the family are aggressively working towards acquiring more, the softness of a family gets lost. There is less emotional dependence, less of one person doing one thing, and more of two people who have a lot of potential to be at loggerheads with one another.

Statistics suggest otherwise:

¶ As more women have entered the workforce over the past few decades, the divorce rate, contrary to popular expectation, has gone down.

¶ US states where women have a higher labor force participation rate have lower divorce rates.

¶ Couples in which the wife an be considered a “career woman” have a 25 percent lower chance of divorce.

I'd be interested to know what the economic effect of divorce is in the Netherlands. The 1970s and after may have left a lot of American women thinking that they had to look out for themselves.
I'm not certain how it is in the UK but the US is very different. In fact, most of the email is ignored and used for data collection purposes. (i.e. donation drives)

Hand written letters are very influential. Clearly that is not possible via a web interface. But still an actual physical letter is quite powerful for a US politician.
Paren't won't say you're committing that fallacy, but I will. Your response, which reads as "I'm not saying it's their fault, but...it's their fault," kind of confirms it.
So if you think there's "no real guarantee that the extra money, generally, will push people out of poverty", then why bother giving them extra money at all?
I think they can be reconciled - but only with an open standard (or set of open standards) for access control on the web. We've moved far beyond the web as a publishing medium; it's an application and data platform. In those contexts, some kind of universal access control - and open identity to go along with it - is critical.

For what it's worth, my vote would be a simple system, like oAuth, that would send access and identity data in the HTTP header along with a request. This wouldn't break existing web patterns, or require vast amounts of new development, but would add a little extra identity-centric context. It could be sent from the browser itself, I suppose, but I see it being added as a layer from feed reader style apps.

I wrote a summary of the idea down a while back: http://benwerd.com/2010/03/activity-streams-and-oauth-a-soci... There are lots of possible solutions, but this is one.
@sblom got it right, the site solves both problems. The congress person will know you are a constituent based upon the home address you provide. (it will be on the outside of the letter as the return address but also on the inside under your name identifying you as a constituent)

However, the same problem exists with regular mail. If somebody wanted to provide a bogus home address they could. There is no real way for us to validate you are who you say you are. And there will be some people that have a different billing address and name information on their credit cards than their home address so I didn't want to validate based upon that.
something else happened to hurt the black community even worse. If we can figure out what it was, we'll be well on our way to closing the gap.

You need 40 cores to run one instance?

I just think that's pretty uncommon among games.

Maybe I'm wrong, but keep in mind that something like "an MMO" managed to work on the hardware that existed 15+ years ago and the underlying computational details have barely changed for many of them.

And something like Eve is single threaded.
Not the ones in this implementation though.

Not sure why I can't edit the original comment.
Even the lab leak is zoonotic. Because 100% it was from the bats... you are right it might have gone via the lab or via a wet market... what’s the difference though?

(Yes it isn’t 100% match, but it’s 100% an ancestor... so not engineered)
For some reason, the Russian web seems to rehost old drivers/software and such indefinitely without all the malicious spam you normally find in Google.

That led me to Kazus Electronic Portal[0] which seems to have just about every hardware-related piece of information you could need. Including an obscure serial driver from 2005 that I couldn't find elsewhere.

> although, admittedly, popular Java build tools currently lag in their support for jlink

That was definitely a problem. I had some bad experiences with maven-jlink-plugin last year, and seeing that it was stuck in 3.0.0-alpha1 since 2017 did not exactly inspire confidence.

However, I just checked and the development of the plugin is now moving again: they released 3.0.0 in Novemeber and 3.1.0 in December, and the documentation has also been updated. So I guess it's time to try again...
I read this and the comments, and I can't help but feel... a loss for everyone.

I was a graduate student, and I met some fairly miserable professors toiling away. It's hard having ideas and then lacking the social skills to bring them forth. The social skills help with relevance, but also relating the internal ideas with external ideas and building real momentum.

There is a lesson here for anyone young.

The mistake here is to assume genius internally. Rather, it is better almost categorically to assume you are an idiot and then talk with others without the ego. "Hey, here is an idea" and many times others will not get it, and that's ok because communication is exceptionally hard.

However, if you want people to call you genius, then all you have to do is be around people and then help them with their ideas. "Have you tried X?" in an applicable way, and people will respond because you bridged the gap between their problems and your deep understanding.

As an example, I have a lot of dumb projects that excite me. One of them, which I refer to a large number of times, is my dumb programming language for board games ( http://www.adama-lang.org/ ). When people don't get it, is it their failing or mine? The truth is that it is a mix of both, but it is mostly mine because I have the burden to communicate effectively.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that indeed. I think it's because XMPP software is not as good at keeping up with developments in general. Great idea to keep it active with your own development!
Picked up k8s as part of my a side project, that become my startup. I would say if you know docker, it's not hard. Especially when using managed google style. Setting up your own k8s cluster is a whole other thing..

That said I agree with the innovation token concept. None of this junk makes you money, solve a problem first.

I think the article says: "Of the 261 requests, all but six asked to be housed at a women’s facility."
That is very different. That is implying that you may be a pedofile which is unpleasant whether or not there is a photo and whether or no anyone else even sees it.

This is saying that you have nice feet, which may make some people uncomfortable, and isn't necessary "right", but is completely different.
Yes, Go is fast enough for some tasks.

Before this I was doing C and PUC-Rio Lua. Was obsessing too much with C pitfalls, valgrind, and the sanitizers. Then LuaJIT FFI + Rust, good I like it better but found GopherLua the easiest. I'd stick with LuaJIT+Rust for anything that needs less resources and speed.
Replace the word house with land. Does that change anything? Who owns the land? The "government" is just people. And if there is not enough land because one person owns it all, absolutely I would be in favor of taking it and giving it back to the people.

That is actually a normal risk of ANY business - government passing legislation that makes you less profitable. ISP? Google? Cable Companies? All face government pressure. And they also lobby the governments to get their way. No different from REITs also probably lobbying hard to force rents up, and force money to be spent on shelter instead of productive uses like investment, buying goods and services, hiring employees. I think you have a bit of reverse logic there, thinking that by kicking renters out and protecting landlords, we are "improving the economy".
But can we explain just what exactly quantum mechanics is?
The problem is that people hoard money in anticipation of even lower prices down the road. Why should I buy good X for $Y today, when I anticipate that good X will be available for $(.85)Y tomorrow? If enough people think like I do, the quantity of X demanded drops, causing the market to create the very price drop I was anticipating.

In addition, deflation increases the value of debts - any spare cash I have is going to be soaked up by the increasing value of my debts, and will not be available for further consumption.
There's a difference between it being "available" and including it as a default repository in sources.list.d. Available means it's a choice. Not everyone wants MS software on their computers. I don't. This means that your systems checks in with MS every time an update is run. If others follow suit out of a "Me, too!" obligation, I may lean to NetBSD or OpenBSD on my Pis. I severely dislike MS's telemetry and how they have their hooks in everything. My software should never phone home unless I want it to do so.
Well we have the stats and at 30mph already a pedestrian has a low chance of survival. So there is a perfectly good case to be made that just exceeding 20mph is reckless. Maybe we just limit cars there, then at least we are not "circularly informed", whatever that means.
Does thermodynamics not suffice for (2)? Or does that just restate the question, somehow?

I learned many things about the SM from this presentation I had never before retained.

Wondering now to what degree string theory seems to exactly require all of this, vs. merely be apparently compatible with it, insofar as it can be "solved" at all. Where it is too hard, maybe it is not known whether certain SM features are compatible, and everyone just hopes?
No exclusion zone is needed after a dam breach.

No it isn't, though. It's not like there's a "right way" to run a team. The teams I've been on that didn't review code always ended up imploding because because people rationalize their innocent corner-cutting when they don't have to deal with the embarrassment of sending it off to anyone.
I keep meaning to experiment with bable/tangle in Emacs.

I setup a simple literate configuration of my init file via markdown, which worked out really well, but doing it "properly" in org-mode would be a nice evolution.

With markdown I just search for code-blocks, write them all sequentially to a temporary buffer and evaluate once done. So it is very simplistic, but also being able to write and group things is useful:

Just chiming in with my experience in terms of Basic.
I started with TRS-80 Coco 2 basic (Microsoft), then Amstrad CPC-464 (Microsoft), then Amiga (AMOS), then to PC with QBX 7.1, finally ended up in Visual Basic 1.0 - then all the way to VB end of life. Then Realbasic on the Mac.

My major friction with basic was OS integration. The Amstrad had "call", "peek" and "poke" which allowed you to call Z80 assembly, read and write to memory respectively. Ever since the amstrad doing anything outside of the interpreter which required OS calls or the like was extremely painful - mostly because of the lack of compatible types (byte, word and so-on). Making a call, passing parameters, and getting data back was always a nightmare that required a C wrapper or assembly work-around. It was a black art for the basic programmer. Back in the day I felt like an imposter; compiling my basic applications, statically linking libraries in the link and compressing and obfuscating... purely to hide my lack of skill... I was an imposter ;-)

Both QBX and VB had a healthy third-party library market, and I recall licensing some great QBX libraries for SVGA support back in the day (I was making through-the-window display systems with a capacitive switch I designed). VB was a little better, I recall relying on IP-Works for projects that required TCP/IP support. DLL distribution could be a pain if not handled right. Realbasic had MonkeyBread software's libraries for OS level integration.

So... hopefully I've established some credentials for being a Basic-head back in the day ;-) Which leads me to a recent experience with Basic that absolutely blew my mind and made me rethink my entire position as an old basic programmer.

Back in the day it was pure shame for me to be a basic programmer. It was slow, interpreted, and anyone in the Amiga community that was leet in any way could code in 68000 and basic programmers were lamers. It was the same all the way back and I've always felt like I was a second citizen back in the day... not only from my leet peers, but also from the OS vendors that treated basic programmers in the same way (BTW I'm over all that lamer stuff these days, I learned assembly for the TRS-80 and wrote a game over covid... my 10 year old self was vindicated!)...

But back to the main point... BBC BASIC! Over covid I got into RiskOS (always wanted an Acorn Archimedes) and played with BBC Basic. OMG! You can do ANYTHING at an OS level with this language, total first party support for all OS api's. Although these days I can program as a generalist in C and the rest; I can't help thinking that RiskOS and the BBC micro did it absolutely right in terms of the basic language. And perhaps this is why basic wasn't really taken seriously was everything to do with Microsoft... why wasn't basic given the same 1st party treatment as it is on RiscOS?

Apologies if my post seems a bit confusing - just a bit of catharsis on a Sunday morning :-) Interested to hear about other peoples opinions... I'm playing with the idea of a basic to Erlang translator... old habits die hard :-)
This question of what mean "intermediate", "advanced", "expert", or "master of the universe" is purely subjective to me. I've named these articles like I did to create some sort of progression, that's all.

So yes, I think you're right, like everybody :D
Wow, you actually fixed it! Thanks!

Personality is mostly established by age 6. Its more plastic than people realise, but it can be altered over a long period of time. Trauma helps, in regards to the big 5, concienciousness is the easiest to change.
I can't believe individual resteraunts have to deal with credit card fraud through these services, and it's not a value add. maybe that's how payment processors want to handle things, but still, it would be very easy for these services to act as an escrow service. many already require photo proof of delivery and encourage the sealing of bags by the resteraunt. one more photo upload before that and you have auditable chain of custody, no blockchain required
Hariri writes "when deciding whether to impose a lockdown, it is not sufficient to ask: “How many people will fall sick with Covid-19 if we don’t impose the lockdown?”. We should also ask: “How many people will experience depression if we do impose a lockdown? How many people will suffer from bad nutrition? How many will miss school or lose their job? How many will be battered or murdered by their spouses?”. And that's the least of it.

In other words, run a cost/benefit analysis, something many governments including the British, lamentably failed to do. Is it too much to ask that governments should get evidential support for a policy decision of such magnitude?

Just too bad when it matches the wrong version of an album or song. Happened to me and I already deleted my original mp3. So you need to rip the CD again. But I think it makes sense to match content and only keep the best version on the servers.

I wrote a custom keyboard using Swift. XCode stability was mostly OK. SourceKit crashed sometimes (disabling syntax highlight and autocomplete), but it didn't cause much headache.

The thing that bothered me most was that iOS app wrote with Swift was packaged with 8 MB runtime libraries, so it was like 100 kB of my code and 8 MB of swift runtime libraries which I didn't like at all.

I tried to learn how to write an OS X application with Swift and for some reason it became a nightmare, SourceKit keeps crashing and it wasn't possible to work at all. I guess I triggered some bug. I tried to investigate it, but without much success, I think that XCode will send those crash logs to Apple and may be things are already fixed.

Actually I'm not really sure that Swift is the language I want to use. Objective C is good enough. It's good old C which I like. It's very dynamic which I like. Cocoa, Cocoa Touch and other frameworks are made for Objective C, not for Swift. I didn't made a final decision whether I will invest into Swift, but probably (at least until Apple declares Objective C obsolete) I will just use Objective C. It has its problems, but it has its strength too.
