Aside on 5): if you make your shell scripts call an already-running JVM, it is amazingly fast (ie. it's a server).

A very very simple hack for is to run the JVM in an xterm, inside rlwrap, and implement a rudimentary command-loop - then type your commands directly.

I think you're exaggerating their demise, as it were. iPhone competitors released phones with higher res screens. So what, the next release of the iPhone trounced them all. Now the competitors will release something better and Apple will respond, on and on.

The difference between a Smart phone and a normal phone is it's not as easy to dump your current phone and just move to another. The differences will have to be pretty big to get people to be willing to go through the trouble of learning a whole new phone, moving their data, etc. And I don't buy the carrier argument because from my experience all US carriers are awful.

And having custom resolutions isn't necessarily a win. Look at all the complaining about the different Android resolutions so far. Just wait until they get 5 or 6 new ones.
That's a good enough base for lots of web-based projects; it seems to me like your general "how do I..." question may not have been about how to build your idea with web software, but something else. How to attract early users/contributors, maybe? Or collaborators? Or other attention/support? (Or maybe you are wondering about the mechanics of setting everything like the domain/hosting/server up, in which case you may want to ask more specific questions in other targeted forums.)

I'd say build as much of what you've got in mind as you can. Encourage people to look at it even when it's very rough -- don't disappear for months making something slick/complete. Adjust. Continue.

But here the pieces aren't infinitesimal. They're fractals, but still measurable.
Well their WAF and dos protection are pretty nice.

An easy secure setup would be to spin up a guest VM and isolate it in its own subnet.

Disable routing between your guest and the rest of your lan and you can sleep easy at night so long as your app doesn’t serve any crazy dynamic content.
For a startup nobody is going to judge you for your processes being in an aspirational state. In fact it is an area where a new hire can make a difference.

For a company that's been working on something for 20 years and process is in bad shape it is a different thing. A new hire facing it is going have a harder time believing they can make a difference.
We need to recognize that trucks big and regular sized are tools for force projection, easily potentially used as weapons of lethal force, and need to be banned and severely restricted from protest use.
I'm not sure I would call Bitstamp incompetent for keeping $5M USD worth of bitcoin in their hot wallet.

A hot wallet needs to contain enough to cover the largest reasonably-sized transaction which a user may want to withdraw (and then some), and a global exchange like Bitstamp would have many institutional customers who may withdraw that much on a weekly basis.
Nick Land's probably the one of the most fascinating outliers among philosophers though. His philosophy career is very sharply divided in two parts: the first part involves leftist materialism + Deleuze-Guattarian schizoanalysis + cyberpunk + gothic/Lovecraftian horror + a whole lot of drugs. But his heavy amphetamine usage kinda "broke" him, and after that the second part involves dealing with drug withdrawal along with a heavy doze of right-wing libertarianism and hyperfascism. I really don't like the latter half for obvious reasons (but critiquing him more fundamentally, he seems to have an incredibly warped view on evolution which is making him fall back into outdated eugenics, and also he has a habit of viewing technological progress and capitalist progress as the same thing). I still read some of his earlier works though.
Indeed =) Then you should also agree with me that adding more regulation to the system is counterproductive. We should be looking to deregulate as much as possible, allowing people to take control of their own destiny, as you aptly put it. This is exactly what a consent-focused interaction model looks like: enforce nonviolent interaction and contract law, but otherwise just leave people alone as much as possible.

Healthcare for humans is just another service, it doesn't need to be a special category. There doesn't need to be an association whose membership is granted a monopoly on this service. In absence of regulation, private industry would self-organize into tiers based on demand. From the very lowest tier of service, to the highest. This what we see in countries without so much regulatory burden, and more market freedom, such as India or China.

More fundementally, there is no moral justification for any of it. Just because one person or group of people belive in empathy, or a particular modal of social order, doesn't give them the right to impose that on others who disagree.
Why is that hard to imagine?

The plant based meat industry alone had a $4 billion market in 2020, about 39% of which is in the US, and it's total is forecasted to grow to $14 billion by 2027. [1]

While not a direct comparison, the US meat market is around a $7 billion annual market. [2]

We also know that obesity is in part due to genetics. That doesn't mean people are doomed to be obese. It's a fact that anyone can lose weight if they expend more calories than they consume.

My point is that people are perceiving a very different implication than what Murray or SSC are actually saying. E.g. saying cognitive ability is genetic evokes images of Gattaca-like society where people's fate is determined by their genome. In reality, IQ is far more malleable and can be developed through exercise or atrophy through lack of it.
“That’s horrible!” Most people say while reading this on their way to the sushi restaurant. We’re ruining the world for all living things (and ourselves but we don’t seem to have fully grasped it yet). I have nothing to add except that it’s very sad. I could say “quit buying fish if you’re at all concerned about the situation” but I expect to be downvoted to oblivion for stating such a radical idea.

This is anecdotal but I do feel a sense of pressure when using the Bose QC35. This pressure lasts for 30-60m when I’ve used them all day. I also have my ears popping after using them.
Certainly! After rereading my comment I can see how it comes off as unduly harsh on the aforementioned federal agencies.

However given the context of the article and the question of replanting a clearcut in the PNW, I'm guessing the intent is to create a forest with a sustainable and vibrant ecosystem. That intent puts it at odds of the forestry practices that favors harvesting trees for economic value.

There's certainly a need for timber in modern society, but the way that's achieved doesn't create a forest or an environment that fosters a well-balanced ecological system.
My guess would be (some) preservatives.

edit: the bad ones like sulfites, sodium benzoate, nitrites, etc...
Why waste good helicopter parts? I would have to think that the materials used in military applications are more robust than commercial. Refurbishing old parts isn't bad so long as it's done safely. The article says that the helicopter parts are inspected visually every 25hrs, a tear down is done every 125hrs, and any anomalous issue gets them grounded. No mention of problems with the refurbished copters.

Honestly, I think this is a very smart and efficient move on the part of the state. Reuse when possible, so long as it doesn't jeopardize safety.
You're straw-manning. The suggestion was that it would be useful to have a best-effort system to try to detect when people make mistakes. I don't think there's any suggestion that it should be something that people rely on, or that the system should or could be perfect - merely that it would be useful.
In rendering specifically it isn't nearly as much of an ambiguous buzzword.
I’ve had good luck with foreman [0] (if you’re happy with Ruby). Create a .env file in your project root with your variable pairs and foreman makes them available inside your app. Then you just need to make sure .env is in your .gitignore and you’re happy.

Here, it's not just Spain. From the OP:

France will outlaw the service from January 1, and it has been banned in The Netherlands and Belgian capital Brussels too.
> If every person has an "digital currency wallet"...

Nothing that follows in this paragraph depends on the pre-condition of having a digital currency wallet.

> I think this structurally has less resistance than writing physical checks.

That may be, but I find it hard to judge. I am skeptical if the decision to shell out a couple of billions depends on physical checks or not. You could also argue the reverse, a check works better for advertisement for the governing party. People get something physical that is worth something.

> What's the point of designing and implementing that system if they aren't going to be allowed to use it.

There are other use-cases. Direct depositing stimulative is one possibility, but from my point-of-view hardly a game-changer. Direct withdrawal/devaluation on the other hand...

The main motivation I see though is more to compete with PayPal/Visa/MasterCard/Apple Pay/Google Pay..., and all the classic banks. The motivation is not to lose relevance, and if designed correctly, I can opt out of monetising my buyers history & private information.
From a business perspective, it doesn't really matter. There's still a large market of people that do care about it. Look at the explosive growth of Obsidian in large part because it's a local-first solution.

In addition, there's a difference between using those services and being "totally okay" with it. If you like Evernote, then sure, you'll be using the cloud. If you had a way to use Evernote without storing your data in someone else's cloud, a lot of people would be happy.

Even non-technical people talk all the time about not trusting services because of data issues. Many will not use a new service because they're worried about their data if the service stops. It's a really big issue for businesses.
I quit Twitter about 6 months ago. It was eerily similar to quitting smoking (which I did a couple years ago). Honestly, that scared me straight. The fact that an app on my phone had similar addictive qualities to tobacco was alarming enough to keep me off. I still get the urge to log back in sometimes, but luckily I perma-nuked the account so I’d be starting from scratch, which is a large enough barrier to keep me from trying (for now).
I’ve previously used a normal Apple Magic mouse and keyboard to do all of these things

If you've used a Magic Mouse, then you've used a mouse with a trackpad on its back. Glad you liked it!

And no, rotating in Photoshop with the keyboard isn't the same as rotating with a trackpad. It's an entirely different process that is significantly less efficient, unless you already know the exact angle of rotation you want down to the 0.1°.

What is RHEL for Open Source Infrastructure [1]?

>Under the program’s terms, eligible organizations will be granted access to no-cost RHEL subscriptions for any use within the confines of their infrastructure. This includes build systems, continuous integration (CI) testing and general project requirements (i.e. web servers, mail servers, etc.). These subscriptions will be self-supported by default, which provides full access to the Red Hat customer portal, knowledge base articles and forums, and also include Red Hat Insights, our proactive analytic tooling. We may also be able to offer no-cost support depending on the scope and nature of the organization.

Since the whole internet is run on Open Source Infrastructure. I assume every Web Company can use it for free?

It is very tiring trying to read these PR announcement that is long and unclear.

That statement is claiming that Biden says we shouldn't say anything because their treatment is just a "cultural difference".

Why wouldn’t at least an engine monoculture help with incompatibilities and ease the development of sites? If all the browser makers agreed on a standard then websites wouldn’t have to show “your browser is not supported”. Saving sons and daughters across the world from many tech support calls from their parents, and aiding all the IT techs from having to keep different browser defaults depending on what team they are working with
#3 is what always confuses me about the argument that switching to real names would in and of itself make flames and trolling less common.

That said, I don't think this is necessarily something where solid evidence matters. It seems to me that requiring real names is much more about making bloggers and journalists who consistently have their real names attached to postings feel more on an even footing with their commentariat. See, for example, this post on crosscut where Ted Van Dyk argues that he feels more comfortable with a critic that has a real name attached: http://crosscut.com/blog/crosscut/19530/Should-online-commen... Is that about categorical differences in comment quality, or personal comfort within a newsroom?
I'm not particularly offended by the language or writing style, but signal to noise ratio was pretty low. If you are going to write like this, at least be funny.

This is HUGE. These data formerly cost about $30k just for the historic patent data. Similar costs on TM side. This is a big win for transparency and innovation.
I am a bit appalled by your candor at his serious problems with regard to finding a fix. Medical professionals have utterly failed him for 18 years (half a lifetime for some). He may not find what he needs to take/do and get a prescription from HN, but he may get a great diagnosis (like B12 deficiency due to pernicious anemia) that may end up being true.

I think you're putting non-E.R. doctors on a pedestal that more often than not they do not deserve to be on. The fact is that they diagnose based on symptoms - sites have been created that can easily guide a person towards most of the easy-to-diagnose problems they are experiencing without any doctor involved.

With that said, I do think most holistic medicine is a load of crap. Diagnosing issues is something that we - as a logical group - are very good at doing based on symptoms. That most doctors don't have time to spend 100 manhours on one case is another problem with seeking a regular doctor to diagnose complex issues.
Which states aren't at-will employment?
'\0' is a character, not a string. The string is "\0".

Also, C strings are NUL-terminated, not NULL-terminated. (char)(0) is the NUL character; (void * )(0) is the NULL pointer (usually).
If you took the time to write it, and it's relevant, why the hell not?
I really like it. Do you have any resources for learning you mind throwing my way if I decide to go the mobile webapp route?

2040: "Rent a Chinese Guy"
As the review said, she regarded her life as an expression of her philosophy. If her life was a mess as a direct result of her philosophy (and the matter with Branden certainly counts as one such mess) that is highly relevant to assessing her philosophy as a way of living.
Okay, I admit this is the first time I've seen the word 'currying'. I've heard it spoken and thought it was a neologism derived from "courier", but it's apparently named after a man called Haskell: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying?wasRedirected=true
Hey thanks for all your answers to far!
Here's what I've been working with (sorry if this only makes sense to Rails folks--ask me about a certain section, and I'll try to clarify to non-Rails people as best I can):
-A ruby gem called rools
-sample rule:

rule 'foo' do
parameter SomeObject
condition { some_object.attribute == 'something_else' }
consequence { some_object.change_state! }
end

-inside of the application_controller, I run a before_filter with this code:

rules = Rools:RuleSet.new 'path/to/file/that/has/rules.rb'
so = SomeObject.find(:first)
rules.assert so

This sounds like one of those ideas that works well in a one off context but has side effects in a relatively big one.

Using a bell curve might be more technically correct, but the overall idea is too force the person making a judgement to make a judgment. The reality is that some employees are better than others. Getting a manager to rank them will give you better results than getting a manager to rate them. Neither are perfect. One is sensitive to the manager's biases, the other breaks when one team is better than another.

If you went to a one hundred person company with 10 managers and asked them to do this one day, you would probably end up with a fairly accurate view of who is worth what. Most one hundred person companies would be improved by replacing the bottom 5-20 people and damaged by replacing the top 5-20.

If this wasn't about employees, I don't think it would be controversial. Imagine a company with 100 clients ranked them and then decided to give special attention the 10 best while ignoring the 10 worst.

The problem with this (like most compensation schemes) is how they affect employees when they find out. People have strong reactions to being ranked and measured.
You misread the spec:

> Since all code in Enterprise™ goes in the disruptive class, any other class you declare, although syntactically correct, is strictly unnecessary.

It's only unnecessary if it is not disruptive.
Economics has an identity crisis. It is trying to be a science when it is an art/humanity. Rather than embracing it's nature it is trying to be what it is not. It's like Christianity trying to be a science via creation science. It simply does not work.

When new features are added to WASM, how does it all get deployed and how does it fit in with existing browsers and such? Do compilers avoid using the new pattern unless you say to, put in both and do some kind of runtime feature detection for which they’ll use, or something else altogether?
Sadly the tabloid-style coverage of this horrific Chinese government policy is causing people to discount the broader issue.

The Chinese government sent government workers to take time off their normals jobs and live in the homes of Uighur Muslims suspected of disloyalty to the Chinese government. More than a million Uighur households had monitors sleeping in their rooms and watching their lives for troublesome signs like the children not using patriotic greetings or the parents wanting to keep Muslim dietary guidelines.

In this article "relatives" refers to Han Chinese government monitors and "little brothers" and "little sisters" refers to the Muslims they watched.

> The relatives were given written guidelines on how to conduct themselves. Based on reports from Uighur contacts in Urumqi and Khotan, such manuals provided guidelines and forms that needed to be filled out and then digitized for security databases. In a manual that was used in Kashgar prefecture, relatives were given specific instructions on how to get their little brothers and sisters to “let down their guard.” The manual, which was posted on the internet but taken down just as this story was going to press, advises relatives to show “warmth.” “Don’t lecture right away,” it suggests, and show concern regarding their families and bring candy for the children. It provides a checklist that included questions such as: “When entering the household, do family members appear flustered and use evasive language?” “Do they not watch TV programs at home and instead only watch VCD discs?” “Are there any religious items still hanging on the walls of the house?”

> The manual instructs the relatives to tell their little brothers and sisters that they have been monitoring all internet and cell-phone communication that is coming from the family, so they should not even think about lying when it comes to their knowledge of Islam and religious extremism.

> The manual also instructs them to help the villagers alleviate their poverty by giving them business advice and helping out around the household. They were told to report any resistance to “poverty alleviation activities.”
