Even if what you are proposing doesn’t work, in the sense that recidivism remains high, the alternative proposed by Western countries seems to be just to give up on enforcing any kind of punishment.

Rehabilitation as practised in the Scandinavian countries works for the homogenous populations they have.

In countries like New Zealand they are “addressing” the issue of overrepresentation of certain demographics in the crime stats by arresting them less. Yep.

All I know is, I have never felt as safe as I have in Japan, South Korea and Singapore, with conviction rates of 99%, in the US and other Anglophile countries I’m always worried shit is going to go down, it does, and I have seen it go down several times.

And in the non-US Anglo countries, the cops are basically useless and want the crime to happen with physical evidence, before they do jack about it.

I want the criminals to shit bricks when the cops come, not laugh and outgun them.

What about getting an ikea lack coffee table that you can set on top of your regular height desk? That's the strategy most people take in our office.
I remember this article. Rereading it confirms the author's only explanation is "some of us don't like it." Insufficient cause for me (or anyone) to change our behavior.
Browser history could be a problem if, say, family member #1 (pregnant, but hasn't disclosed it) signs up right before family member #2 (who doesn't know about the pregnancy, and who family member #1 doesn't want to know about the pregnancy).

Then there's the issue of public computers, which people signing up for Obamacare may well be more likely to use (I don't know that for a fact, but it seems plausible... I know in my area they've had workshops where you come in and someone helps you sign up using a public machine).
I'll discard using separated files, because that supposes the double of files.

$ echo $(( $( find ./src -type f | wc -l ) * 2 ))

I've make a cli tool to query the docs once everything is installed, it should not be too much work to adapt to the change.

That's the main reason.

I love minification where it hurts, and I'll consider it for "runtime" version.

But my doubt is more about the "development" stage of the code, when you work with it.

If you're in an industry where it's typical for candidates to be limited in what they can share, then ostensibly the hiring criteria and process would reflect this.
Hah - you foolishly misunderstood the definition of the term "transparent"!!

What he meant was that everything was transparent TO the administration.

All the world an open book to the administration and its agents.

Not only that, it even set it up in the classic American way, so contractors such as Booz Allen could profit from it!!

You lowly pleb!
Which has nothing to do with Obama and he would stop it if he could.
Having always been asked "Do you know someone who does X?" a lot, I have certainly found it most difficult to answer for those in hardware. Perhaps it's just from my perspective having been in software so long, but I am excited to see a focus on Hardware networking, particularly at the founder level.

Curious to hear how hardware people have found co-founders/early employees to date. Classmates? Former co-workers?
Yes. So is Andrew Napilitano. They admit to it but only in limited circles (e.g. at Mises Institute).
Well, there's been a number of local root exploits in recent years. That's worrying.
The difference is the credit card company is motivated to keep you happy as a customer. The government is more like: "Assuming this really happened -- what's he going to do - move to Liberia?"
Even if the meandering list of risks Zed documents are serious and cannot be mitigated, Tor still is useful for all kinds of situations.

This article isn't that useful without knowing the nature of what Zed doesn't use Tor for.
They're not confusing, they're just primary examples of feature creep that are largely unused/unnecessary.
I can relate to much of what he said. I find that most people are socially tiring, though I have a small network of friends I dont mind hanging out with long term. The metaphor of gasping for air in a fog of contentless conversation is a great way to put it. I was at dinner last night and remember counting the empty sentences of one of the people at my table.

I am also usually pretty quiet in meetings where people are hashing ideas out. I usually like to think things through before speaking from a place of authority on them, which for me means doing a proof of concept and assessing the problems at that point. I personally hate being wrong on a "guess".
Nice-- but a few more weeks, and you could have gotten Volume 4 included (http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Programming-Volumes-1-4A-Boxe...)
I thought non-transformational software patents were deemed invalid last year?

Remember that Zed Shaw was "a top qualified soldier in the US Army". Maybe Zed is a bad actor in the pay of the US Army and this article is an attempt to discredit Tor for their benefit! ;)
Agreed, it's more about handling the press/investors, less about exposure to the actual idea.
I'd guess that Starz was looking to put their toes in the digital streaming water, rather than that they necessarily expect this to be the price for perpetuity. I've dropped my core cable and love me my Netflix, but I have to admit that $8.99 (1 DVD at a time, unlimited streaming) is probably not sustainable, if you want to see new content that isn't being subsidized anywhere else, which is the hypothetical end-game here. Frankly I'd pay triple that if they forced the issue as long as they stay ad-free.

Also Starz is, well, nice and all, but at any given time there's only a few really A-list movies on there under a year old, and a motley collection of relatively recent B-list movies. It's not necessarily quite as big a name as they might like to present themselves.
While it is disheartening to hear about someone battling cancer, why is this on the front page of HN?
Professors of computer science arent always the best people to take business advice from.

First question to ask is do you want to make a business from your project? if so, then you really need to worry about IP rights, which are commonly given to the university if I am not mistaken.

Assuming you do want to make a business and IP issues can be worked around, then you can begin to question whether open source is best or not. Without knowing more about the project its impossible to give any suggestion either way, all I can say is being open source does not mean you cannot build a business by any means, a lot of people conflate open source = no money but that is not at all true.
a few of mine:

eat a bag of peanut m&m's as soon as you sit in your seat, then use an eyemask and drift off as the announcements are made. The sugar coma from the candy will send you off to dreamland for at least the first hour of the flight. Use earplugs and snag a window seat if you want to increase your odds of sleeping longer. Or, buy a big meal in the terminal and eat it as soon as you are seated for an even bigger food-coma-induced slumber.

If the person in front of you leans their chair back when your'e trying to work, it's convenient to have a fake sneeze ready to unleash. I prefer to let my lips smack a bit and let a few droplets of saliva spray out (while making a sneeze sound). They will bring the chair back up for the rest of the flight. If they start to look ready to lean back again, start sniffling.

If you're wearing a coat or blazer, be sure to ask to have it hung at the front of the plane in the special closet reserved for this purpose. There may not be seats in first class, but there is usually room for your jacket.

If you want to avoid an armrest hog, the best way is to allow your body to touch theirs a bit too much at first with a subtle lean-in and leg adjustment, so they decide to withdraw to obtain more personal space. When they do, the armrest is yours. Don't relinquish it. A few sniffles sometimes help here as well.

Wear a warmup suit, flip flops and socks when traveling. This is the optimal outfit, particularly a hoodie, because you can use it to get extra darkness/privacy if you need it.
"... I found PG by looking up the Wikipedia article on "Nerd" ..."

How does the article correspond to what you see at school?
"If you want another company to use your services, then you need to make it easy."

Or, make a service that's so good, enough people demand integration.

This article makes some good points but I think things change once you start talking about startups that charge money ... and the Typekit example he gives is proof. It's the one paid service he lists–it doesn't use RPX, FB connect, etc.
> It's easy enough to buy into a reduction of the basic singularity tenants ...

I don't even get that far. It may be the case that it's impossible to model the brain to a sufficient level of detail to manufacture conciousness. It may even be the case that our brains are doing something non-computable to produce consciousness, in which case we have to give up on Turing-equivalent machines entirely and move to something that more closely resembles our physical brains. At that point Singularity-scale intelligence depends on the creation of some big-brained biotech Frankenstein, which doesn't scale nearly as well, and seems different enough to require a new name. We just don't know.
A friend of mine actually refurbished one of these machines a couple years ago for a collector. We got to play around with it a little (no body parts in the scope) and make some radiation measurements. It's certainly a scary machine, knowing that it was operated as a sales gimmick by people with no radiation safety training.
I probably biased against 'MS researcher', and phrases like 'I grew up in a community of hackers', but... =)

4chan is, in the first place, the strong illusion of a crowd of young, non-serious people. It is totally different from any other community, where mostly mediocre and quite selfish people are trying to show up, praise themselves and impress others (read: facebook), where social exhibitionism and friend-counting flourishes.

4chan, with its anonymity, is definitely a time-wasting, the main activity of any young generation. =) And of course, it is also a slot machine, with several positive feedback loops, especially if you're admire and love 'freshness' and youth.

btw, its sub-culture and slang are self-evident, not a rocket science. It is just a cyber community of nonconformist youths, along with a bunch of various freaks. You may find something like that in any city's outskirts. =)
Ditto, I am on Telstra's 3G in rural NSW; if I am being censored at all, it's by bandwidth costs.
Trezor is great as an U2F device because it uses the same crypto seed to initialize all internal keys, including the U2F feature. So you only have to backup the seed phrase offline (paper is one of the safest medium when correctly secured, or you can buy a cryptosteel plates to really long-term storage).

Crypto fan or not, those devices are amazingly secure, and certainly hold billions out there. I think it is open source too.
That was a great explanation that makes me appreciate Julia more, thanks.

I don’t much use Julia, but it is a beautiful language. I started a tiny side project for using Julia for non-numerical things like querying SPARQL endpoints, text processing, etc. Julia could be a universal, use for almost everything language.
Hey, keep in mind that we are living now in a bit extraordinary times. Your boss is also human as you. He may have more important things in his mind at the moment rather than you doing your work (and seems you are doing your job well).

During these silent months he might have had gone through covid. Or someone from his family. You don't know.

Remember that we, apart from being engineers, coders, solving business problems, whatever, we also also human and communication is a key. If I can suggest, just give him heads up, give a short report and ask how are things as it's been a while since you spoke. And that you hope that things are fine in these extraordinary times.

You cannot imagine how much people are struggling at work within these times, where on surface all seems fine.

Along with the externalities of much less of your money actually going to the charity, and of being regularly solicited/harassed on the street by the same people wearing whatever vest related to the charity they're promoting on that day; they're akin to popup ads that everyone despised.
I used FastMail and migrated to ProtonMail recently. I use my own domain. On my main machine I run thunderbird in the background so it always has a local copy in case something happens. You can always sync to a new service.
Washington Post is even worse. WSJ and FT are my favorites, but their opinion sections are to be avoided.
The requirement for "fairness" and "due process" indicate that you think credit is something a person is entitled to. Is this true? If so, can I ask why you think so?
We need to be thankful that pockets of extreme nonconformity exist to show an alternative to groupthink. People are so eager to mock or crush any diversity. Average people can't stand the idea that there are places in the world with extreme differences like (a) much higher or lower tax (using the U.S. as reference point), (b) drug attitudes far softer or much worse, (c) political structures (even the "evil" ones, speaking from the American POV), (d) far different cultural attitudes about sex, marriage, drinking, and every other moral issue. If the world didn't have all this diversity, we'd never know that there's an alternative to what we thought was the best way.
They don't have to accept it. I don't have an opinion one way or another about the rubyspec being some kind of a standard. But if it exists and shows a sigsegv scenario and nobody bothered to run it before a release... that's a failure of developers. It's not even additional work.
Not at all a good idea if you can't control what blogs review you.

How exactly are you pitching them? Can you share the pitch. Usually people end up sounding too spamy.

(I am a blogger)
Well, but that's still pretty cool. I didn't know this at all.
This sort of labeling is harmful because it is at best a diversion. Focus on what's important -- financial independence.
Partially the problem is in the word it self. As you can see from the discussion here and in many other places, as soon as someone asks similar question people start talking about what this word (designer) actually means.

Take architecture for example. In a way it's about designing buildings, but they have a separate term for it. You say it and everyone knows what you mean.

This is whats missing here I think. Some designers think only about "visual appeal" and can be even dangerous for a startup, because they don't know or often care about what it is they are actually building. Some are letter "T" people - they know one thing very very well and are more or less familiar with related fields. For them "design is how stuff works" (from your question Apple type designers). This kind of person can add a huge value to any business but we don't have a name for them (hopefully yet).
I think you misunderstand current law.

Current law allows for investment-based immigration, meaning that if you have a certain amount of money to invest in a business you can be granted a conditional green card based on the idea that you'll be creating jobs.

The startup visa would allow foreign entrepreneurs to come to the US if they could secure funding from legitimate angels and VCs.

The first situation allows foreign nationals with foreign money to establish businesses (and residency) in the US. The second allows US residents to establish businesses with foreign entrepreneurs, which is almost the exact opposite of the first.
Arbitrary rules are clear, yet, but also blunt. If you were building a capital intensive product (see most of the alternative energy/biotech space - to get a prototype built costs millions and millions of dollars in most cases), 250k investment is really low, and probably would have no bearing on the success of a company.
But for a small tech/software company whose only expenses are its 2-3 founders' accommodation and sustenance, 250k is a lot. So maybe some arbitrary rules are the right thing, but there needs to be some common sense and differentiation across different sectors. Not all startups are the same.
My giftedness worked against me in one way, in that I often understood things so quickly that I never learned to figure anything out. Especially in grade school, if I didn't get something by just reading it once, I had no idea what to do. I got panicky, as I felt like my powers were vanishing. I don't think I even knew that I was supposed to take concepts apart, or try different approaches. I didn't know there were strategies to figuring things out. And I had no confidence in my ability to do so.

This article about highly-intelligent who lack confidence in their abilities may be of interest:

Would you just please tell everyone here how you think it should be done rather than talking around the issue?? Otherwise, you're just another troll.
wow, AWS goes down and everyone loses their sense of humor :( (or do people not use "whack" on the west coast as slang for forward slash?)
I laughed for 12 minutes at that because my mother did the same thing.
Two of the sources said Google originally wanted to launch a basic locker service and an 'iTunes-like' store. In recent weeks it has suggested exploring licensing for a subscription service, they said.

Weird, I doubt the bit about google in recent weeks is true. Having worked on a team building an early subscription service, I feel like I can say with some authority: There are loads of good reasons no one has been launching subscription services. Not the least of which is that people just don't seem to be interested in not owning their content, at least at the price points you need to charge to cover the licenses.
But mostly it’s because the cloud has been so darned reliable.

Or because the cloud has offered such a good value proposition for cheap and easy scaling with demand.

And anyway, it's unfair to rail on people who "should have had a redundancy plan" when the service they pay money for is one with a redundancy service included in it (availability zones) which has unexpectedly also failed.

Our point stands, for engineers to consider all likely scenarios when building redundancy and not assume anyone – even Amazon – can provide 100.0% uptime.

Your point appears to be "If you don't have 100% uptime then it's all your fault and you should have planned for it you lazy idiot, everyone should blame you. Also you can never have 100% uptime so people should stop blaming Amazon.". Do you have more of a point than that?
Scrappers are ranking higher than him for snippets of his own article after Panda. Google called the sites affected as "low quality," or junk. Many people have lost their livelihood over Panda and Google's incompetency so it's not funny, but this is.
The benefits of the cloud is just too great, we won't go back. Except in a few years, when something goes down, instead of being some random site who's down, it's going to be the 20,000 sites that are hosted on that hardware.

Couldn't you make the same argument about stickied posts on old forums?

I don't think how the content is displayed changes whether they are covered by section 230, and I think the anti-discriminaton exceptions would need to be more explicit to matter.

That should not be our problem. If they find that difficult to communicate without lying (by calling it "unlimited"), perhaps they should set a non-variable cap.
I have a small amount of experience with this, having observed the negotiations between a city government and Mediacom. The deal, in that case, wasn't technically "exclusive", but it did require that any additional franchisee provide equal or better service.

In practice, this meant that the deal with Mediacom was "exclusive" since the market was small enough that no other provider would be willing to roll out the full set of services offered by Mediacom (another provider might have been willing to offer basic services to capture cost-conscious consumers). I'm not sure what the federal law says about this sort of thing.
You don't need Airfiber; a pair of NanoStation Loco M5's will easily do 2500' at 150Mbps for about $150 for the pair.

Yet people have had healthy diets long before we had science or awareness of gut microbes. Eating healthy is simple; Let's not overcomplicate it.

While reductionism is useful to learn about the constituent parts of a system, let's not forget that we don't know many things & it's ok.

In complex systems, it's important is to work with principles. Facts are nice & can be used to fine tune principles, however facts don't create a strategy.
That logic is not what we're measuring against. The logic we're measuring against is the existence of a number, which represents some amount of data stored which, when reached, will result in the termination of your account.

"Unlimited" service if honestly sold and serviced, would mean that this number does not exist. You could keep throwing data at them and they could keep storing it.

What is that number? Is it low? Is it high? Only Amazon knows, but in the meantime, they're pretending that this number does not exist.

False. Advertising.
Yeah sure, working two month in 12 hours shifts just for adventurism. Either he is a spy or this story is a complete joke

Do you support the right of businesses to refuse business to homosexuals, for example, on religious grounds? If you come back with “homosexuals are legally a protected class”, that’s evading the question and functionally equivalent to “no I don’t actually support freedom of association”.

I ask because in my experience most people on HN only support freedom of association when it’s politically expedient for them.

I was specifically thinking of Quakers, who've historically been very progressive. They're so non-hierarchical that it required special legislation for them to marry as Quaker weddings have no "celebrant" taking the priest role.
Good to know! It seems when money is given the crowd is louder, however. But that could just be my perspective.
A better way to think about it: Who wants SPAs more, UI developers or their users?

If the demands of the developers out pace the demands of their users AND those demands primarily determine product design decisions the product is not all designed to benefit the user despite developers pleadings to the contrary. That is a very pronounced example of bias.
