The overwhelming majority of people have made no changes after Snowden.

Even on HN most people have only made a few changes. Only a tiny number of HN users have PGP / GPG keys available, for one example.
Interestingly, Swift may not even be a "better C++" for all domains dominated by C++:

The memory model is strictly ref-counted which is unsuitable for certain tasks (e.g. high perf game programming) and the runtime performance is still extremely brittle (i.e. dependent on optimization passes).

Lots of apps also use c++ as the common core model. Since Swift isn't multiplatform, it is not replacing c++ there either.
Yes, imagine being a business in a country under the US sanctions. Without ability to import cheaper foreign parts, what would happen? In a country large enough one would imagine it would lead to the appearance of the home industry that would provide a substitute. More expensive, and of lower quality, sure, but Rome was not built in a single day.

More likely, girls are afraid of being ostracized by their peer network for destabilizing the status quo. Put money where nobody would see it being picked up, and you might get quite different behavior. Put it where everyone can see it being picked up (or infer the probability that it was picked up) is very different. Acting on one's own behalf without even checking what one's peer network thinks signals an indifference to their opinions - a memory which will probably last far longer than the $20 benefit.

tl;dr: Between them, Clinton and Bush amassed an odious and vile legacy of extrajudicial policy. Obama is too scared of House Republicans to say so, has no way to deal with them effectively, and cannot counter their political threats. Now that the story has gotten ahead of the Presidency, America is (quite fairly) getting slapped around the world for being stupidly violent, prone to extreme over-reaction, and disturbingly lawless.
Agreed - V2.
The phone charging paradox was pointed out to me when I tried to get Gizmodo to write about this in the context of that ill fated iphone4 loss. Oversight! What I meant was the charger, rather than the phone. As for the extra functionality, I'll see if I sell any of these things, and the first thing I'll add is a "specify what to remember" freeform entry, then there's a couple more things...good suggestion on the compass!

Yes, it's misleading. I wrote a stock borrowing system for an investment bank 10 years ago or so, and there is a fair bit of complexity around registrars, collateral, dividends etc.

The 'A shorts to B who shorts to C' type arrangement is unlikely in the extreme. Would B keep paying A for the borrow (and have the collateral tied up) if they have passed the stock to C? Nope, they'd return it...

There's also other products which would alter the exposure to securities without ownership, such as total return swaps. These aren't going to appear at the registrar, so who has exposure is more complicated (add in futures and options etc etc).

Germany.

At the end we compare numbers as life itself can´t be compared. Living in a certain town and certain country. Costs of living vary from country to region.
I choose to freelance as it means more income and less social security. I´m not having paid vacations plus the bonuses of an employee.

I never worked more than 40 hours/week though. Not as a freelancer, not as an employee. This is not game development. Nonetheless I worked for a agency recently where the employees got jobs like: here are 30 layouts for a Magento shop (by a designer who neither knows responsive design nor shop systems) and the template needs to be done by the end of the week. I´m not making this up. Companies like this are not running sustainable and you IMHO you should get out there as quickly as possible.

I started developing ecommerce sites back in 2008. Worked for a specialised web agency (size: around 20 people) back then and got around 1600 Euros/month net, after taxes. I don´t remember the precise numbers any more.

I started freelancing in 2011 and got a higher income (not in the first year though). I served mainly small businesses. I still have the numbers. They are net, post taxes and health insurance already paid.

2011 15045 Euros
2012 34826 Euros
2013 28320 Euros
2014 46582 Euros

Decided to travel afterwards and give a regular job a try when I came back. Got a position as PHP / Web developer at a small agency (size: 10-15 people). Now relocated to the south of Germany. That would have been

2016 48000 Euros pre-tax or 25560 Euros net

Probably a small bonus added at the end of the year as well. I never found. I quit after a few months as I figured out that being employed is not my cup of tea. I earned about 30.800 Euros pre-tax. You can get some of your taxes back if you don´t work a full year as an employee.

Fast forward: back to freelancing again. Earning between 65 and 80 Euros per hour now, pre taxes Can´t say how much I will earn this year cause I didn´t work last year at all and only a few months this year. Which is sufficient to pay rent (and have enough time to witness the first months on earth of my son).

Developing applications with PHP and JavaScript frameworks. No more small customers, working on full-time project for a couple of months.

There have been studies posted at German portal heise.de in the last months claiming software freelancers in Germany make an average of 91 Euros/hour. I somehow doubt that. Or: depends who you ask and how big your sample is.

Not me and I´m fine with what I make. Demand for freelance developers is high right now, I get lots of requests. How about you guys? :)
I highly recommend the Student Guide to the Art of Electronics: http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Electronics-Student-Manual/dp/...

The book covers the basics of both analog and digital, and focuses on developing intuition without getting _too_ bogged down by theory, with accompanying labs/projects. I took the course taught by the author of the book before going to school to study the same subject area, and it helped me develop intuition and general electronics knowledge in a way no other course has.

If you want preview of the book, e-mail me and I can send you some scans.
This is meaningless, the algos and traders are still in London & NY, just the server is in Amsterdam.
> Why were people who made 6 figures and still employed being given checks, for example?

Because it's easier to do this than to gauge need, and with the paltry amounts handed out it doesn't add up to much compared to the big picture. The real question is why this has become a political talking point, and the answer is to distract from that much larger rapidly-implemented scam of bailing out the bond market that you rightly point out is "Really unfortunate for those without significant assets that ever hoped to own a home". Hiding the large scale theft is much easier when you can distract people into bickering about their financial neighbors.
Sure, but I think a more apt comparison in this context would be to Windows NT, given that Android and Fuchsia are both made by the same company: the ability to run win16 apps was crucial to its initial success. If every existing Windows 3.1 app had to be rewritten and rebuilt to work on NT at all, it would have been a much more difficult migration.
The Firefox mobile rewrite (Fenix) is just fantastic, and for me it is a huge improvement over the previous version. Many thanks to Emily and the whole team that shipped it, it's much appreciated :)
I do wonder how they'll cope with a large migration there. It's a very short and restricted building area.
I agree that the FED is a major contributor, but the SEC and FTC have failed us in the 21st century. Also, given the way PACs and lobbying work, people don't truly grasp that we live in an ever increasing plutocracy. The greatest trick the elite have pulled is to convince the common man that the enemy is your neighbor who isn't red/blue like you. They rob us blind while we stream Netflix and chill. However, our life is still way too good to care. Only people with nothing to lose rise up.
Beliefs can lead to harmful actions though, that is why people can be locked up for "delusions" or "beliefs that can lead to harmful actions" in the first place. Your definition doesn't really address the idea that ideas can be harmful and that we do actually disallow certain beliefs in society.

As for your definition of religion, I think it is entirely relevant, as you suggest my ideas on redefining Christianity to include a gay Jesus is offensive to religion. Well, if you are going to claim that, I would challenge why this religious belief is less sacred than the traditional view of Jesus according to Christianity. How do you define religion is definitely relevant.

As for the last comment of it being DSM-V, what does that matter when referring to it as DSM-5? As far as I can tell, it is not a meaningful distinction. Do you disagree with the idea that religion has a specific exception in the current DSM when concerning religion?
I'm on a personal quest to reduce the average American working week
Speaking just from my own experience, maintaining open-source software can be unhealthily engrossing. The combination of wanting to please random internet strangers and everyone being in different time zones has, at times, overcome the flimsy work-life barriers I’ve tried to erect.
> Even with income remaining stagnant, the prices for goods and services should have been continually going down due to technology and outsourcing.

The price for goods did go down. Everything from food to toys to tools got much cheaper than it was before.

However, the price for cornerstone needs that govern access to opportunity - i.e. healthcare, housing, education, physical security -
and the percentage of income and average net worth that these consume went up dramatically.

Furthermore, these things became ever more correlated with each other, meaning that if you have bad access to one, you are likely to have bad access to the others, and if you have great access to one, you likely have great access to the others.

But sure, it's never been cheaper to buy random widget X at a big box store.
Stating it is a joke kind of ruined the joke.
I don't know how I would feel about this, but I guess I would be okay if they had both a LTS and a rolling release distro.

As someone else commented ISOs need to be updated more often, at the very least weekly. (It really sucks after downloading an ISO on a shoddy connection only to find out you have to download another 300mb in order to replace the software you just downloaded)
This marks the first time I have ever been represented as a purple robot. The person in front of me was a dinosaur, so I think it's only fair that they got to go first.
man, you don't have an ethernet internet connection, yet you are installing ubuntu...

I think it is obvious what is wrong with this picture.

That aside, this will be a great improvement for ubuntu as constant progression will allow for more bug fixes and cool new features on a more regular basis (not 6 months apart)
Why not build a great dynamic language on top of Dalvik? All the alternate language projects for Android that I'm aware of are either native code (that uses JNI to talk to the UI code in Dalvik) or are existing JVM languages that are poorly matched to the Dalvik VM.

Dalvik isn't a Java JVM, it doesn't use Java bytecode and it has a significantly different architecture than JVM's. It's possible you might be able to make a language that's a better fit for Dalvik than Java is.
"You can't simulate a brain without considering the quantum effects at atomic levels. You can't simulate quantum effects. QED."

One of the neat side effects of using QM to counter determinism is that you go directly from "everything you do is predetermined" to "everything you do is essentially random". Cf. Bell's theorem.

I've always thought that the problem with the NSA behemoth is not so much that its collecting everything, on everyone, but that its the only one allowed to do anything with it.

I don't think the solution is privacy. I think the solution is to make the NSA's databank available to everyone. This is just as impossible a goal, I know, as getting rid of the NSA in the first place - but hear me out.

Just imagine what sort of world we would be living in if everything the NSA has been collecting and storing about our modern civilization for the last 15 years was available for anyone and everyone to access. I'd be perfectly okay with harvesting all data, everywhere, on everyone - if everyone had access to it, freely and without secrecy.

I think, were this the case, people would be a lot more careful - and more importantly, aware - about the things they do and say online. The only reason this whole thing is so damaging is that its shrouded in total secrecy - I have no idea what sort of 'bad data' is in the database about me, or those around me - were I able to access this data, it wouldn't have as much of a negative effect on me, personally. I could correct it, get it removed, and so on.

Teaching encryption is one thing. Teaching the value of open and honest communication is another thing entirely. Somehow, the solution to the problem of having masters and overlords who have immense power over me, is for me to have some of that power myself. If this were true for everyone - and not just an elite class of humans who have decided to rule humanity through secrecy and domination - then I think the problem would be a lot less relevant. I know as an artist, I'd sure love to be able to broadcast my art far and wide; it seems the NSA would be a perfect platform for that. Kind of like what the Internet was originally promised to be/do, before it became the playground of the corporate elite ..
The NSA has the browsing history in hand of every congresscritter and hopeful congresscritter, phone records, travel records, IRS statements, etc.

It's not unbelievable that they would use this information to buy or bury an elected official.
all that innovation is cool and all, but it seems a bit egotistical to be upset that people haven't heard of your awesome cool thing when a vast vast majority of people haven't heard about or use your thing
I don't have a problem with the last one. Posting that you have a new role (which is what I think you mean) is totally appropriate because it helps people update their mental model of where you are.

Otherwise yea, kinda fits with the theme I am alluding to
This is an accurate statement when approached from a top down nation / state level. Approached from the level of an average person living in countries with highly volatile currencies, they just want a currency that is not reliably going to be less than it was the day before. It allows those people the opportunity to detach from the issue of "poor governance" over which they have no control and gives them some independence from it.

This is especially true for refugees. They run the very real risk of being killed for any money they are carrying but if one has one's keys memorized then no one knows you have funds and you are somewhat safer.

Over 1/3 of the world's population lives in countries with declining or unstable democracies, crypto currencies provide a small cushion from that in some situations.

Neanderthals were assimilated by humans because they had an immune system that was better adapted to the pathogens in the areas they lived in, i.e.: Europe.

If you were an anatomically modern human from Africa, and you are migrating to Europe (neanderthal territory), if you bred with neanderthals, your offspring had a higher chance of survival due to a better adapted immune system.

But once those hybrids were everywhere, the ones with fewer neanderthal variants would prevail, eventually leaving out only the variants related to immune system.

Can any of you get it to work? I spend forever trying to get the open source version working on Linux and gave up at tried this version on OS X.

I hope it will become part of the juPyter package in the long run.
Out of curiosity, was anyone else surprised to learn when git first came out? I had been using it for a while, and assumed it had been around for ages, based on how it seemed to be so oriented around a unix file system and using the command line.
All of them.

I'm trying to decide whether I want my future to steer toward mobile or web development. I've completed the Codecademy JS course but feel like I need to do certain parts of it to really cement my knowledge of it. I'm also trying to build some basic apps in Xamarin.iOS since C# is my bread and butter. I feel like I might struggle with this for some time :/

Outside of development, I'm studying Farsi, getting back into running, and hopefully renew my private pilot currency. Oh, and Arduino :)
I'd hope that admissions officers are sophisticated enough to know that. Having said, there's some band in which you're basically flipping coins given overall criteria so you flip coins based on statistically insignificant numbers rather than complete random number generators.

I got the taste of remote work and nothing’s gonna convince me it’s better in the office. Im more productive remotely, I save money on transportation and food, I save time, I am close to my toddler son, I could save the company a lot by not wasting the office space on me and most of all Im an introvert and for a long time I haven’t felt so comfortable. Why change that? I will seek a remote position other place if my company returns to office work.

Yes, manufacturing is getting cheap enough that the average person can get themselves in a mess of trouble now. It's still got a ways to go before it's cheap enough that they can get themselves out of that mess.
That's actually a good point. Idk how many otherwise unbiased people would be convinced that the election was a major fraud, but moving that to other platforms wouldn't hurt.

> that aggressive legislation against Uber

Uber is not following existing laws.No legislation was created just against Uber,they just came in with their service,and while it's successful,it's illegal in a lot of European countries.

On the contrary,I found most European country went soft on Uber, they didnt ban the company just some of its services.

You can make a case the taxi industry is broken fine.But Uber is just a new middleman replacing the old one.And once it is big enough it will do everything to crush any competition,we all saw how Uber was dealing with Lyft here in US.
True, but I can picture many uses for the heat as is - such as off-grid heating water for homes/hotels/factories, which would normally burn natural gas or use electricity from the grid.
I'm not on a Mac so I can't test this right now but I don't know if I think this sounds like a good idea. The stereo image is a big part of the mix down, especially in bass heavy electronic music where a lot of big sounds need to compete for space in the frequency spectrum. Won't this possibly destroy the mix in those cases?
