You can get permit to own a gun and keep it at home if you pass a psychological, psychiatric and practical exams but getting permit to carry a gun is much harder. You have to prove to the police that your safety is in danger so such permits are commonly issued to judges, prosecutors and employees of various security companies. Corruption also provides some people with permits to carry a weapon but generally there are slim chances that common people will get such permit. It's quite uncommon to see a civilian with a weapon.

While installation of Huawei cameras is common knowledge I never heard anything about face models and stuff being sent to China. Is there any reputable source for such claims?

Are Stereo speakers actually noticeable on a device the size as an iPhone? Wouldn't the speakers actually need to be further apart so your ears can hear the difference better?
Is it just my Motorola Droid that has a camera I'm not satisfied with? The pictures just don't look nearly as good as my (six year old) point and shoot camera, and the LED flash is for shit. Maybe I need a new smart phone.

Or is my problem that everyone else is looking at photos on some site that's showing smaller photos (i.e. lower resolution) which makes camera phone photos passable? I don't use any of the common sites to share photos.

Well I live in America, and at 32 I suppose I'm more gen x than gen y, and to me the offensive thing is how much the government has bent over and used my tax dollars to prop up the housing market, even though the whole thing was based on people buying houses with loans they couldn't afford. The constant specter of "falling home values" makes me sick, since it essentially means that I can't afford to buy a home so that people who already did buy homes they couldn't afford get to keep them.

This type of mentality is why the US will lose to China. The government and Wall Street only care about how the numbers look on paper. As markets evolve and become more and more sophisticated, there is an increasing disconnect with what these numbers actually mean for public prosperity.
You know what, I'm not part of a startup. And I probably won't be able to get one going until I have something to start with (monetarily that is). I'm trying to start writing apps for Windows Phone 7, because I think it's going to be a great platform, with a big margin for expansion. Microsoft hasn't really had a great reputation for wireless OSes, but I really think WP7 is a winner.

To tell you the truth, I'm pretty drunk right now, but I'm still confident in my ability to write code. If I just had enough money to buy a WP7 phone and pay for a plan to go with it I would be set. I've been hacking on the emulator so far, but you can't really get a decent sense of how everything works until you actually have a device. I have done an internship over two summers at the same company doing iOS stuff, so I think I can genuinely say that I have a decent amount of experience with mobile development.

My name is Evan, I'm drunk, and I want to start a company. 500 bucks would definitely be enough for me to buy a phone, start developing, and eventually release some products into the wild. Think about it.
Oh come on, this is like the 10th time I saw this post in the past 3 days!

I tried YNAB, but didn't fall in love with it. I currently use Mint, which I'm familiar with and have used for years, but I don't like Intuit.

Varo Bank offers 2.8% on up to $10k in your savings account if you get direct deposit and use your card 5x/mo. Not the rich features of Simple, YNAB, or even Virtual Wallet...but when they earn next to nothing for interest, that's how those features get paid for (they need your cheap deposits).

Fox has been around for quite a while, and it was never “QAnon level crazy”. Fox was here since the Bush era, and I regularly had political debates and discussions with people I disagreed with back then. Sure, I could have never turned a Republican against the war, but I certainly was able to find common ground on PATRIOT/etc. Not anymore.
I’d assume they were already bugged. Also, whose to say all of the new equipment they replace it with won’t be bugged?

They lack the consent of the governed to make sweeping chances to our government disenfranchising 70 million+ people.
How homogeneous of a group they are is irrelevant when they are all driven by the same incentives. The first people that benefit from increases in Authoritarianism are the police. The insurrectionists they are supposed to persecute are the very ones fighting the people that are calling for limiting the influence of the police. Police unions almost universally support Trump. They have everything to gain and little to lose from this.

That's the current throughput of bitcoin. When the ridiculousness of that is pointed out, why do people start talking about Visa's volume?

Bitcoin is unusable for regular transactions.

A single transaction costs as much as an -entire hard drive- that can store the current chain multiple times over. After 11 years the chain takes up $6 of hard drive space.

The only people that need to sync with the chain are miners, exchanges, online wallets and enthusiasts.
> I call someone out and bam I'm getting downvoted to kingdom come but at the same time being gilded with silver. It just didn't make sense.

That tells me that there's both sides reading it, just one is larger. Isn't the goal to preventing an echo chamber having both sides expressing themselves?
The tz database in itself is a massive project, that only somewhat recently (2011) started being backed by an organization (ICANN, which is not completely uncontroversial), and when ISO 8601 was created, it was still in its infancy. Additionally creating a timezone database from scratch was probably outside the scope of ISO 8601.

I'm really happy with the local development story too. We use skaffold to pick and choose which resources we run locally, and then we use the same definition to generate our artifacts which keeps things in line.

It reminds me of docker-compose file, except I can publish it too.
The hell? We are basically reinventing company towns and robber barons? Why does history have to rhyme?

I mean even assuming good intentions ( and I do not ), the road to hell is often paved with them. I just do not know how that would end well.
Actually, if you include all wars that have occurred from government in history, I'd say the number of deaths compared to corporations is a much higher multiple than that.

What strikes me as odd is that she pleaded guilty and helped broaden the investigations and still got a death penalty. This pretty much removes any incentive for a guilty plea and for helping an investigation.

I think it's fairly reasonable to consider whether she is facing capital punishment for financial fraud or for having helped broaden the investigation in the wrong direction.
You are probably referring to this[1] FAQ entry. As I understand it they provide domain registration on a cost-recovery basis and thus have no incentive to answer support requests for customers who only use NFSN for domain registration. I wouldn't conclude that this means "please don't do this if you don't have to".

When you use NFSN for domain registration, you will probably also pay for whois privacy ($3.65/year) and DNS services. DNS services for domains registered with NFSN are $1.22/year, but if you host the website for that domain at NFSN you will only pay $0.41/year. So they do actually earn money on domain-only customers and they also give you an incentive to use them not just for domain registration.

Same here. I was a "top of noon" riser for years, then I got married and had a kid... Now my two boys are 5 and 7, they both wake up reliably between 5 and 6am everyday. Also, relatedly, though, they go to sleep at 7pm. To deal with such an early rise, I often fall asleep at 7pm, too. If you still want lots of sleep, go to sleep early. Simple advice like that is often hard to follow.
Thinking you have a decent sense of what looks good just doesn't cut it, unfortunately every human being is endowed with this belief, hence the general ugliness of the interwebs. I(/we) need to know more about your experience and abilities to give you better advice.

Logo's and "marketing stuff" are very different disciplines, although a good designer will be able to do both. A good logo makes the rest a lot easier.

The most sound general advice I can give you as a graphic designer is to focus on typography and whitespace.
I think the article may be attempting to show how dire the situation is. Or that the fix may lie in some form of equality of pensions throughout the work force, still a hard thing to fix.

With unemployment at such a high level today, increasing the retirement age would keep all of the baby boomers employed, rather than leaving the work force. It does not look good any way you look at it.
No. Based on that observation, I think they are not morally equivalent.
I seem to have a 3 year window during which I hate the code and then I come back and think, "wow, that's pretty nice code, why don't I do code like that any more?". I think I spend a lot of time obsessing over small warts and it takes time for those to recede into the background where they belong.
They don't ship with their own version of webkit; they use qtwebkit (or at least used to?).
Forth is cool, and might make for a BASIC replacement, but it is a terrible "systems programming" language. You will still need some kind of lower level access mechanism. The alternative is to extend forth with a ton of platform specific words. That is the route most of the early BASIC's took as well, so it might not be to bad.

(I say this as someone who spent a year of my professional life writing open firmware code. Which for those that don't know, is the crazy idea of creating cross platform firmware in forth.)
Just looking at what you've quoted, I don't see what is confusing. Both statements say that the 2% that is stored online is insured. Specifically, in an amount that exceeds the average value at any given time.

That average bit is a bit nebulous, but it doesn't make me think they are insuring the 98% but not the 2%.
You have missed his point. He is saying that the US dollar is so robust that a "currency crisis" could only occur due to events that are globally devastating to basic infrastructure (nuclear war or what have you).

I don't necessarily agree with this, but that was the argument, not that a currency crisis alone would bring down the power grid.
Author here -- I found some of my results to be a bit confusing, so I was hoping the HN community could help me improve on these.
I use it to let my linux-based custom digital picture frame automatically pull photos from my IOS photostream. This is insecure because it requires that my photos are temporarily public, but it gets the job done.
I've read a few accounts and seen a few programs about how the word bulletproof came about, which also illustrates this period of change. It was a title given to (plate?) armor to protect the wearers against bullets (I'm not sure to what effect). For that even to be a thing means that suits of armor and guns were on the same battlefield.
Absolutely, especially in bigger organisations where one part may be completely different in terms of how is organized and how is operating from another one.
Framing this as passionate vs lazy is very beneficial to people who aren't you but benefit a lot from your hard work.

The real conflict is that

1) you need to set up some boundaries and have some realistic professional expectations about working hours

2) you're working in the type of company which thrives on doing the exact opposite and taking advantage of its employess as much as possible

So when you try 1) and it fails because of 2), look for a job at a company that isn't a startup. (Not being a startup doesn't guarantuee better respect for working hours, just increases the probability.)

Some other options are to give in to the pressure from management/peers and work for free (doesn't sound good to me). The other is that your additional time is incredibly well-compensated or that the success of the company has huge upside for you and this makes the extra effort worthwhile (seems unlikely).
Yup, that would do it. 600km range for 15kg of 'cargo'. Assuming a full write-off of the air frame in the flight, possible recovery of the auto-pilot/electronics. It's right on the edge of what its radar profile is going to look like. (model/bird vs small aircraft).

Isn't bread still the thing served first, by itself with maybe a little butter or oil, in many cuisines?
Why would you invent a detail about an event that was captured on video and so easily refuted? He was wearing a white hat.
I often default to arguments like this. But I make an exception when the mistake is both inaccurate and seems to favor the conclusion chosen by the author. They should have realized this and slowed the video to avoid even the appearance of attempting to create a false implication. In my opinion.
As someone dealing with some painful dental issues during lockdown over the past few months, I have to say, I approve of the endocannabinoid approach.
Pretty sure OP is referring to this part of the comment they were replying to:

> Users posting to comp.lang.c through Google Groups were a problem -- especially with the recent bug that caused GG posts to comp.lang.c++ to have the "++" quietly dropped.
That's an interesting thought. But there are many examples in history where one group of rich people profited while others suffered -- it's not like they're all one cohesive group. Like in this article, any rich person who had an interest in and ability to make money off of fats, lost tons of money because the rich people who controlled sugar wanted to get richer instead. Just because science is being corrupted for money and power, doesn't mean that it will benefit every rich person and hurt none of them.
We have a team of girls who are doing mighty fine (shocking, I know) and a newspaper that turns their story into such an unbearable headline (for profit). Pretty good summary of where we're at right now.

I'm confused: GitHub already has an app for the Mac[0]. It's fast. It's compact & doesn't waste screen real estate. It's stable. And it's updated very frequently.

Sure, it may not have all the features that the site has but it excels at being that convenience bridge between what's on my filesystem and what's on the site.

Consider all of the code that goes into making typesafe config work. Then contrast that with the code necessary to store configuration as sexps.
International shipping took a lot longer and was more expensive back then. I remember going through computer parts catalogs in the mid '90s to find the best prices for the parts I needed to assemble a new desktop.
I think the filtering should be done by the customer directly, although if the ISP offers it as an optional feature, that would be OK too, as long as it is purely optional and when disabled (which you can do at no extra charge and no extra difficulty) you have a real internet connection.

The information delivered is the author's philosophy on website design and implementation complexity.

I can easily tell that the author does not approve of overly complex websites, and thinks they lead to poor experiences for the developer and user.

Contrast this with a website for some hot new web 3.0 buzzthing, where "what is this thing" is not answered in lieu of presenting a shitload of "why we/this thing is so great". An example of this is npmjs.com. Nowhere does it actually state "this is a package manager for javascript", if you didn't already know it.
This is not a very good article.

I fully agree with the authors point that GDP at the top line metric is a disaster.

But there are several other proposed models out there. Why doesn’t he mention them?

Organizations optimize around metrics so IMHO getting metrics aligned with “good” would be a huge lever against the problems the author enumerates.

But then the article just ends, doesn’t mention GDI, GDSP, etc. It’s weird, I wonder why.
Yeah, peanuts really show the quality difference. Half of the fun size Snickers I’ve gotten the past few years have tasted straight up rancid.

Your media is your eyes and ears. They can manipulate your actions just manipulating what you people see.

When you travel around the world, this is the first thing you learn: all the people, in all countries are manipulated by the media, controlled by the power structures.

"If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?"

The Merchant of Venice

There is an almost automatic response from an stimulus you perceive. Being real or artificially created does not matter for the brain.

In the supposedly "free countries", they just control the media that most people watch. Most people just does not care.

For example, most Americans have a SouthPark puppet idea of Saddam Hussein, but he was a very smart person. As this person spoke a different language, you could portray the idea that is convenient for helping the interest of the people in power, basically invading a foreign country for stealing their oil.

Most Americans believe that they invaded Iraq because extending democracy, weapons of mass destruction or whatever. But it only takes an hour of talking with real Iraqis(or traveling to Iraq) to know better.

Just one thing, how many films have you seen about Hitler and Nazism, and how many about Stalin that killed more than Hitler. It was not convenient to portray Stalin as he was when he was alive.

Have you seen the image of Putin in the Western media today. Again, just understanding Russian makes a huge difference in how they could manipulate you.

Putin also manipulates their people, but he is not the only one.
A fantastic idea with lots of opportunities to upsell. For consumers:

* Pay an extra $n to receive the prints without ads.
* Pay an extra $n to add an invitation/birthday greeting/etc. to the back of the photos.
* Pay an extra $n to upload the mailing addresses of m contacts and we'll mail the photos to them.
* Pay an extra $n and we'll send you a framed copy of the photo.

etc.

For advertisers, price can go up as:

* the customer targeting gets more specific.
* the size/quality of ad improves

etc.

Now they just need to get everybody using it...

(edit: Killer quote about another business, Sincerely, that did something similar and then was bought by Provide Commerce:

It was a joke. It's great that people like your utility, and that you're trying Rust.

The source of my amusement was -- I really, really don't see the world the same way as you do.

I won't take your negatives point by point, but, for instance, familiarity and readability do really seem to be in the eye of the beholder, because, to my eyes, to call PHP concise and readable, especially as compared to Rust, is a spit take. PHP is emphatically not readable to me. Writing a 100KLOC project in PHP? Ugh. Yeah, you do you, but not this guy.
