Reminds me of Jobs wanting to "go thermonuclear" on Google, which Apple's aggressive pro-privacy stance kind of does.
"Deep concerns" don't change anything.
I think there's a big difference between commercial web browser extensions that are basically turning into what toolbars used to be and (usually) open-source extensions that really are what they say - something that extends what your browser can do.

A well-made extension these days with no ulterior motives will be scoped tightly to only the site it's designed for or not even that, if it only modifies the browser chrome. I have like 20-30 extensions currently installed on my workstation, but only three of them have global content access (uBlock, Bitwarden, Dark Reader - all FOSS). The rest are highly site-specific and don't even see any other sites, so I'm not too worried about them.
I think I was having a cultural impedance mismatch, I was expecting something toilet-related. Now I am both relieved and disappointed, so there goes my weekend. ;-P
But the moral alternative to the fact that “intelligence is mostly genetic” isn’t to ignore and/or deny the fact (which many people on the left, and most of mainstream media try to do), it’s “treat people as individuals” (exactly what was the moral alternative before knowing this fact).
Some people don't want potential future employers googling them by name before making an offer and finding something that turns them off. For example, perhaps you are an atheist (and revealed that in your comments somewhere) and the future employer is fervently religious. This is potentially a bad situation for the commenter.

If comments weren't anonymous then these folks probably wouldn't make their comments at all. So I think you get a more honest discussion if it's anonymous, at least for some topics.
Oh, I have no problem giving you information about who I am. Yeah, I could just lie, but I guess that’s something you have to live with on the web.

I’m a 22 year old social science student from Germany. I have hardly any CS background and no startup background at all. Any more details you want to know?
The Eastern Block wasn't that good at all at sealing borders. Many millions of people have emigrated to the West from Eastern Europe during the Cold War.
Because the direction of the offsets in the plane is at the plane's direction it is much more likely caused by the plane's speed than its altitude or the speed of Ikonos.
Forget foreign countries and cities : as I've posted in the past, how about experimenting with somewhere like Detroit? No Federal or state taxes, no federal or state rules, no Federal or state help. A mini Hong Kong stuck between USA and Canada. Go there, set up shop, pay whatever taxes the city decides to levy, off you go.
Most every South Korean wants reunification at some point. But the truth of it is that the current generation doesn't really think about North Korea much. Those that do cite the the German experiment as an example of a very cautionary tale about reunification.

This of course despite the fact that many older generation Koreans would feel compelled to have some kind of punishment for the "communists" (in quotes because the word is abused in South Korea by the older generation to the point of being meaningless) and their various crimes against the South. Of course this would further complicate reunification.

I think beyond just hearing what South Koreans say, look at what they do. The Kaesong Industrial Area is cited in the South as a way to try and drag at least some portion of the North's populace into the 21st century. Because if reunification of any type did happen, the consensus is that they are virtually without any useful skill to the South. Ultimately, reunification means that the Northerners will have to become productive, job holding, members of society. All of the BS they spend time drilling on in school, like the great works of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jung Il and learning how to perform in mass games and create propaganda ballets about dam construction, are absolutely meaningless in a modern industrialized world. If the two Koreas reunified tomorrow, they would have to figure out what to do with 20 million unskilled laborers.

The bright side is that the pragmatists see this as a way of perpetuating the cheap labor pool requirements for an export driven economy. South Korea has started bringing in labor from places like Indonesia, Nepal, Vietnam, etc. because they can use these laborers on low waged manufacturing jobs. If 20 million North Koreans suddenly became available, it would greatly simplify things (in theory) for the manufacturing chaebols in the South. They'd simply bus in Northerners at $10-20/day to build TVs and Ships and Construction equipment and all the other odds and ends that South Korea needs to produce to stay wealthy. Kaesong is supposed to be laying the ground work for that eventual day.

I think likely, if the regime collapsed in the North, they'd move to keep the two countries in place, but with very close economic ties, (perhaps like the U.S. and Canada, with a lax border) for at least a couple generations and use the North as a cheap labor pool and industrial center very similar to how many countries use China. Once the standard of living increased in the North to the point that the South could reasonably absorb the North, and/or the Northerners were demanding wages too high to keep the export model afloat, they'd probably reunify.
Find a smart friend who has similar motivations as you do, even if they don't want to work with you. It's unbelievably helpful to have someone to bounce ideas off of.

Secondly, don't rule out working for someone else before you start your own company. It's very helpful to figure out what your strengths and weaknesses really are on someone else's dime. Of course, there are plenty of reasons not to work for a big company, but this is one reason to work for a big company. In a big company, you're forced to work with a variety of different people you might not work with on your own. This gives you an idea of what types of people you work well with, what kinds of people you don't, and will also make you appreciate working for a smaller company (at least it will if you're cut out for a smaller company).
Seems like a great idea. One question is visual data only shared among peers or does it pass through your servers?
OP says as much, which I respect, even if I don't share his position. It's just a rough subject these days.
Would they rely on food produced in the newly fertile lands? Of course. They'd probably themselves move there in order to farm it. Russia might be the next super power simply due to a population rush from lower latitudes.
The Google Talk connection appears to only be used to receive print job notifications on the print server. I guess it made sense in 2010 when Cloud Print was launched.
Was when I checked. Don't know now, haven't used Chrome in a while.

In any case, how do they dare disable my power management for something I didn't start myself?
You're leaving off this part:

> The Republicans are blatantly criminal and far far more obstructive and disruptive.
Totalitarian actions of the regime primarily against Muslim minorities (Uighurs), including concentration camps with >1M people.
> ... schemas aren’t free. You have to coördinate between sender and receiver, and you have to worry what happens when someone wants to add a new field to a message type — but in raw JSON, you don’t have to worry, you just toss in the new field and things don’t break. Flexibility is a good thing.

Much like type systems in general, you always have a schema, and you always have to worry about what happens when someone adds a field. You just get to choose whether it's explicit and you have to type it alllll the way out allllll the time, or whether it's implicit, and is defined as "whatever all the usages are everywhere".

Just as gradual typing is taking over the world (TypeScript, MyPy, etc.), I predict success for something that lets you gradually add schemas to JSON.
Per the FCC, you must disclose advertisements. If a consumer's opinion of your review would be changed by the knowledge that you have a relationship with the seller (because they paid you, or sent you something for free), then your review is an advertisement and you must disclose that relationship. Not doing so is illegal.

I think if you don't stand to make any money or get free stuff and just like posting fake reviews on Amazon for fun, then that's legal (although likely against the ToS).
Yeah, but others were as well, it was obvious to anyone who understood both SGML and the Web. Mind you, there were only maybe a dozen people in the world like that.
I was extremely skeptical of the title, but he makes a good case. Still it's very unlikely aging is evolved. An animal that lives longer would be able to reproduce more, therefore there is selection pressure for longer (reproductive) life spans.

It's far more likely there are other reasons. For example limited telomeres prevent cells from multiplying out of control. And if aging was easy to biologically prevent/reverse, we would expect to find a few people out of billions that live far outside the normal life expectancy. Like someone with a rare combination of genes that happens to have longer telomeres or younger hormones etc. Instead everyone dies pretty consistently within 90 years, give or take a decade.
There are actually many apps that allow you to play local content now. It was pretty bad for a while before they released the SDK though.

The two I use are Videostream for Google Chrome, and BubbleUPnP for Android.
I'm puzzled by the praises on DO UI, since in the early days in particular I always found it intolerably terrible. Far less useful than Linode UI. Nowadays it's ok, but Linode is still has better UI.
Only if the robots join the Union!
That's odd. When I submitted this, I just copy/pasted the title from the DW article: A fresh vision for Pompeii as new director is appointed

Also, I submitted it yesterday. Perhaps it's been "re-upped" and a mod has reworded the title in a rush.

Edited to add: Just in case you're unfamiliar with "re-upped", it's when HN mods or reviewers move a post that they think was interesting but was generally ignored, they put it in a "second-chance pool" and it can appear randomly on the front page. HN explanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380
I don't care at all about internet points, but I do get a chuckle when I notice my karma drop by double digits in a short time period because it means someone was mad enough at one of my comments that they went to my profile page and downvoted everything they could.
Rest of the market is getting trashed because of this shit, sick and tired of these red days back to back. Enough is enough!
Would it be able to reproduce strategies that involve options?

I recently learned of the SWAN ETF, which captures (or attempts to) most of the S&P's return with significantly less volatility. It holds mostly Treasurys, plus options that are in the money if the S&P gains a certain percentage[1].

https://www.amplifyetfs.com/swan-holdings.html

They had to create the "S-Network BlackSwan Core Total Return Index" for it.

[1] They look to buy a year out every six months, but I can't tell for sure; it currently has SPY210618C00265000 (call at S&P = 2650 in June) and SPY 211217C00324000 (call at S&P = 3240 in December)
Sell no point in holding for some paltry sum of money.
Scarcity itself does not imply value, something can be scarce but if no one wants it it still has no value. So the question needs to be what really drives the value of something like Bitcoin?

In my opinion, I think that Bitcoin derives its value from the idea that one day it will become a widely used currency that can be exchanged universally for real-world goods and services. This has what has driven it to become a speculation tool; because at the end of the day when Bitcoin finally becomes a "universal" currency, everyone wants to be left holding a lot of it. But what if Bitcoin never becomes a currency, what happens to it's value then?
Yes, it works for me.

SPF, DKIM and proper DNS records and that is it.
What's the line? There always is one. Example: Child pornography.

The banning of child pornography is legally sanctioned censorship. The legal argument being that the content is "Child Abuse Material" (CAM), which is audio-video evidence of a crime, which in that legal argument is not protected free-speech.

Obviously child pornography is horrible and should NOT be permitted to be spread due to a variety of negative consequences associated with it, namely for the victims involved. I am highlighting that censorship is a tricky issue.

That said, political speech should always be permitted in the public sphere, even if what is being advocated for is horrific. I believe in allowing people to make complete fools of themselves ("give them a long enough rope"). Sure, Neo-Nazis might gain a few followers by allowing them to stomp around the streets, but I'd wager that 95% of the people who see them immediately classify them as complete assholes and fucking degenerates.

While I'm not a fan of folks being "doxxed" online for holding dumb-ass views, I do have a mental line where if you are actively meeting and assembling physically to advance immoral and un-American causes, I think you should be prepared to stand behind your association with said movement under your real identity. And that will have an impact on your friends, family, employment, social standing, etc.

That is not a bug, that is a feature. It creates self-harmonizing communities where horrible behavior (actions) has social consequences, especially when the viewpoints or behaviors are not actually illegal, but still equally shitty.
This really has nothing to do with socialism.
So, you mean like the one actually given in the article?

Or did you mean something else?
Easy to say that when you can post things like "This is how I hacked Github".
>overpriced every other basic commodity of human existence.

I'm a starving grad student who lives a block from the mentioned, The Mill. I can't afford anything of quality traditionally associated with prosperity (car, house, family, etc.). But I can afford quality of the quotidian - headphones, breakfast, coffee, shoes, beer. And so I spend on those things instead - because there's no way I will ever be able to even afford a crappy car in this city.

And the quality is better in SF. It's true, there is always someone willing to sell you a $10x priced version of what you just bought if you want to be the sucker. But SF actually does a pretty good job at giving you what you pay for. You do pay a lot - but you get the best damned toast and coffee in the country. If you just wanted 'some toast and coffee' you should have gone across the street to Eddies - because that exists too.

The result is you get fantastic experimentation at the very cutting edge of even the quotidian. Not only does the bay area churn out Musks & Jobs', but we also churn out the Bakers & the Mas - who can make us the best bread and clothes the world has seen, at a price I can afford, blocks from my home. And such places exist because the community is willing to support them. The art of breadmaking has died in the rest of the country because of the race to the supermarkets' bottom. I think it's extraordinary that the SF population supports the common arts even at personal cost.

I think this particular (non-)problem is distinct from the expulsion of culture happening because of the commute/rent issues facing the city.
Well we were just talking about salaries for the players which is why I only quoted those numbers. I think that most of the sports union contracts stipulate that players get around 50% of gross revenues so you can double things if you want to go that route.
I don't disagree with your sentiment so I had to go back and re-read the OPs thoughts.

I think he had a Group Youtube channel. He logged in using his individual account onto his Group Youtube channel and it linked his individual G+ to the group Youtube. When he unlinked this, it disable his Group Youtube.

I think this is pretty serious stuff. If youtube allows you to group individual accounts, then you dont want to link a group channel to an individual account. I think thats the concerns being raised here.
I'm new to Rust and I'm not familiar with this code, but here's an attempt at an explanation anyways:

The "error" function returns a struct containing the error string. I suspect the intention is to allow dynamically constructed error messages like "syntax error at line 4, char 3" (although it doesn't seem to be doing this anywhere). Since the string might be dynamically allocated, it has to be freed when the struct is freed, which obviously can't happen if the struct just has a pointer to the literal in static memory. (You could flag the string somehow as "should be freed/should not be freed", as you suggest in your other comment, but this has its own tradeoffs)

If you wanted an "error" function that would take string literals directly (and only string literals) you would do something like this: https://gist.github.com/bct/6300740

The "parse_ident" function doesn't return any portion of the input string, so it can just use a borrowed reference.
Indeed. These people aren't motivated by some lofty promise of virgins in heaven; suicide bombing isn't a Muslim thing.
Isn't it ironic. Sorry I kid I kid. Yes spot on that's exactly what it feels like.
Anybody has a good guess what

the personal [redacted] communications

should be? Really intriguing, keeping classified something simple looking as the kind of communication or the attribute of it. From the context, it appears it can't be "personal telephone communication." Telephone communication is anyway always personal. It must be something else, my guess, something that can be both personal and private, when here personal is explicitly used.
High price goods and services push low price goods and services out of the market in a place like SF where space is at a premium and the rich might otherwise patronize lower-cost establishments.

If a place that charges $10 for high-tech tacos moves in next door, the place that sells $1 adequate quality tacos is going to get less business from the techie crowd and as a result may not actually bring in enough revenue to stay open for the people who can't afford $10 tacos.

I've heard similar thoughts from people running mid-tier restaurants in Palo Alto.
You can decide to pay more for quality (or your perceived quality) on goods&services anywhere in the world.
For Uncharted they used Scheme.

Or nuclear weapons.
I would say that the vast majority of games out there use some sort of embedded scripting language.

For a AAA game, the core game engine (graphics, audio, AI, physics, low-level gameplay logic etc.) will be written in C/C++, but scripting engines are used a lot for high-level game logic and AI, at least at the prototyping phase.

LUA is very popular (but not LuaJIT as it doesn't run on the consoles). Every Unreal game uses UnrealScript and/or Kismet. Eve Online uses Stackless Python. GTA IV uses a 1st-party scripting language.
It seems like someone clever could easily turn this policy against itself by reporting popular facebook pages for DMCA violations. Not that I would encourage or condone such activities.
How about a caffeinated coffee? Or a poor sleep?
So I feel the "Bitcoin is undesirable as a store of value because it's so volatile" point is not too fair.

Firstly, fiat money can often experience instability which is quite extreme. Moderate instability, mostly in form of inflation, is even normal in large parts of the developing world. And just because the Dollar has been reasonable stable for a hundred years or so, people assume that this is the natural state of affairs.

Secondly, is it a reasonable expectation, that a new store of value would be stable from the start? For example, platinum has become more common as a store of value in the last 30ish years, and its value has sprung up and fluctuated quite heavily (see here for example https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/57/Pt_price...). A similar argument can be made regarding storehouses being less trustworthy than traditional banks. This sort of thing would be expected with a new type of value.
I'm happy to co-operate. I don't have to trust them for that. I extend my hand to others first. I can trade. I go in with the possibility that I can be ripped off - I'm happy to do so.

I don't think most people are nefarious. Most are incredibly ignorant though. Despite apparent intellectual abilities, most people are unable to think for themselves - they have been programmed. They have received their values and behaviours, etc and believe them to be their own, even though they have never considered them deeply for themselves. They believe its perfectly normal to spend their whole lives working at screens for money. Unbelievable! This is 'normal'. Wearing masks is now normal too, and no travel, ever greater government management of one's life is also normal. Etc.

So yes, there is the day-to-day trust - but what I'm thinking is that trust requires that 2 agents have freewill and a similar reasoned understanding. But we don't. I live in different universes to most, I think.

When I'm talking about trust, there is a relation to truth. Most people accept the truth they are provided without question. There is no debate - the TV doesn't lie, the government has your best interests, corporations aim to make profit but in a 'ethical' way, the law is independent, etc, etc. In dealing with people who accept all that uncritically, we cannot have trust. We do not have individuals interacting according to a common understanding. We have a herd that acts in a predetermined way. It looks like its made up of individuals, but its not. In fact the only thinking that's occurring is small, and relates to personal preferences (I prefer the taste of chocolate, I like watching sport, I will work hard for money to get the house, etc). The behaviour is hardwired, there is no element of free will there. No more trust to be had there, that you could have with a door or wall.
The first 1 or 2 years are extremely important in how the little human will later view the world: as a place where they will be cared for or a place where they can scream and scream but will be not be helped. (Taking the two extremes of the spectrum.)

There's a saying often attributed to both Aristotle and Ignatius Loyola (founder of the Jesuit order): Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man.

* https://www.healthline.com/health/parenting/first-seven-year...

Couples (generally) space children out a bit, so the second one often comes when the first is roughly two: so one parent can look after each. If a third comes along, the first would be 3-4 years old, and already somewhat maturer and hopefully able to handle some detachment from the parent(s).

AFAICT, the 'best practice' is for there to be a "secure attachment" that your child has to you as parent(s):

Have you looked at Appcode? I haven't used the IdeaVim plugin myself but it might be worth a go.
it's value is the work other people will do for you in exchange for it.

In the case of bitcoin, it seems like that contract is an incredibly poor deal for most people, and an amazing windfall for a few.
> I am implementing a Multi-Paxos variant called Viewstamped Replication

VR is -not- a variation of Paxos much less the later multi-paxos.

Viewstamped Replication was developed independently from Paxos and is distinct from Paxos. (And it came out a year before Paxos):

From the author of this OP:

https://brooker.co.za/blog/2014/05/19/vr.html

"Introduced in May 1988 in Brian Oki's PhD thesis, Viewstamped Replication predates the first publication of Paxos by about a year. If you're looking for intrigue you may be disappointed: both Lamport and Liskov claim the inventions were independent."
Great query capabilities!
