That paraphrases Claire Wolfe's quote:

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." – 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution (1996)

She is a well-known libertarian writer, though she seems to have unplugged in the past few years. She has a Wikipedia article for more details.

"Unreasonable search and seizure most emphatically isn't."

Anyone who has been investigated for a DWB might disagree.

Casual racism and unreasonable search and seizure have been pretty consistently tied together as a common standard in policing, not just in the U.S, but across the world. There is something in the way that police organisations operate that makes them particularly susceptible to treating racist stereotypes as probable cause.
Cool, thanks for the feed back, makes sense. I'll get something put together tonight. The markets we are going after, aren't clear to us just yet. We have met with some startups, trying to get a sense of whether a CTO-as-a-service arrangement is the best position for our value, so far it has been fairly positive. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
When I detect this attitude in myself it's often because I'm thinking of these things as a means to an end instead of a thing in itself. So I get impatient because I WANT TO GET STUFF DONE RIGHT NOW and pick your framework is in my way. This a great reminder to step back, appreciate, and give props to all the hard work people do out there.
Yes, I am. For me, planning is important as it helps to organize my work and goals properly. It also helps to define the parameters that I should put in place to achieve an end goal and so on (https://ivypanda.com/essays/importance-of-setting-goals-and-...). Considering that software development is an extremely complex process, I`m sure it`s rational.
This is what happens when a country's leaders actively dog whistle an incitement to violence and others hitch their political future to fiction & propaganda instead of fact.
In countries in which the truth is defended as OP demands clowns don't tend it to make it into government in the first place, but I see your point it's hard to see how the US gets out of this cycle
How would mail-in ballots be a mistake this cycle, but not others?
In any case, it looks like you got what you wanted.

they never had a real advantage on the desktop / laptop that would justify locking you in, until now.

They could do it on mobile thanks to the vastly superior user experience.

When steve jobs announced itunes on windows he said "hell froze over". That should tell you how much they take openeness into consideration.

I'm still waiting for iMessage to be an open protocol, or for my iphone to be able to use a standard charging cable...
There are many indications that they have the intention to use force to make it a reality. There was one protester standing at Pence's spot in the chamber, demanding that he come back and deliver the election to Trump!

It's true that they don't seem to have the ability. But they didn't seem to have the ability to take over the Capitol building either. It's very dangerous to look at people trying their hardest to do a coup and dismiss it just because it'd be an uphill battle to make it work.
Modern social media and the internet is a big part of enabling masses of people to hear what they want to hear, which begets more seeking out and hearing what they want to hear, which reinforces what they've already been hearing. The root of all evil? Unfortunately enough, it seems to be the act of giving everyone an equal voice. Giving a platform for any idea to take hold really means anything ideas can take hold.
If you have to ask then you probably are!

But that's okay, know is half the battle. Maybe programming isn't your thing.

It took me a while, but I finally figured out I was disenfranchised programmer!

Now I write stock/options/futures algorithm and I'm super happy! (Oh and I don't care if my code is good or not as long as it makes money!)
There are competitors but our focus is on making sure people are able to build highly personalized spaces. The experience is vastly different than others.
As someone who has been both a Perl and a Python programmer, I don't feel like Python3 is going to kill Python. Why?

- Python3 currently exists, and there is a large push to get the majority of the "big" packages to support it (many of which do currently support Python 2.x and Python3).

- It's possible for a Python package to support both Python 2.x and Python3 at the same time or to program the Python 2.x version in such a way that converters like 2to3 can do the conversion for you. I'm aware of no such tools or capabilities between Perl 5.x and Perl 6.

- Python3 isn't as ambitious as Perl 6 is/was.

Edit: As to point #2, I recall that there may have existed (maybe it still does?) some project to use Perl 6's "reprogram the grammar" capabilities to turn Perl 6 into Perl 5. I'm not sure how I really feel about that though. There was also a time when there was some buzz around Parrot VM[1] that was associated with Perl 6 (I don't know if it was some official partnership or just some announcement of Perl 6 support in Parrot).

Yay, more crap for me to turn off.
Yes its possible, I run a website on 2 IPv6 only servers. Although I had to use cloudflare as gateway for IPv4 only users.

If I were to remove cloudflare, more than 30% of users can connect to the site via IPv6. Problem is that other 70% will consider the site dead and move on.
Not really. You'd have to update a ton of software to actually support SRV records.
currently it's only an information and availability API (can't make a booking). This _does_ make it easier to run a bot, but it also means that rec.gov servers aren't getting hammered by bots either, which is good for them.

An advantage of an API is that keys can be revoked for bad actors, so it at least gives some measure of control where there was none before.

I tend to agree that the lottery is the way to go for popular sites instead of first-to-book; it's fair and stops older folks from never getting a booking because they don't know how to build a faster bot.

There are a few other very effective hacks that I am loathe to publish here, but there _are_ ways to get sites for the determined.
I appreciate what these people are trying to do, but I don't know how the name "Dementia Village" went to print. It sounds like a bad horror movie.
how would it make the division explicit? Be specific. How would the pay to play messaging system benefit a rich white more than a rich black?

That’s the very specific point we are discussing, and my claim is that race is irrelevant in this discussion. If you have evidence to the contrary on exactly that point then I’d like to hear it.

Not some hand wavy vague generalisation on a tangential point, how would a pay to play messaging system benefit a rich white more than a rich black?
Maybe I wasn't clear; I'm not talking about comments on random threads about climate change suggesting it could be solved easily if people just didn't have kids. I don't think it's unreasonable, though, to suggest not having biological children if someone asks how they could lower their carbon footprint.
Your accusations need proper, large scale statistical backing. As pointed out in another comment, with quotas in education and employment, and laws protecting the historically oppressed, social equality has seen a massive increase in India.

That doesn't mean casteism is dead, just that statistically things are much much better for the historically oppressed.

I have hope for the new, educated Indian.
Yeah...back in the 90s, a webpage was a text file, usually a couple of Kb tops, maybe a small gif or three. No pulling in Mb of frameworks, no client side executable content, just plain content. If it took 10m to load at 9600, you were doing it wrong (or were targeting the folks with DDS/T1/T3 connectivity). If you were serving out a big file, you often did it over FTP.
It would be cool if a language could be both, by using this research to create a language that recognises the difference between load time and run time. The dynamic parts would be used to load the program, after which dynamic changes would be turned off, allowing function dispatch or whatever it is that is slow in a dynamic language to be sped up.
> scarcity and liquidity

So it's valuable because it's scarce and it's liquid because it's valuable? I imagine you can see how a skeptic might view this. I would be skeptical of gold coins too, but for the fact that a gold coin today would have been valuable in ancient Rome as well. So I don't really understand why gold is so valuable, but the fact that it's been very valuable (to varying degrees) for 5000 years leads me to think that that will hold for at least for the rest of my life.

I agree that Bitcoin has advantages as a store of value over gold. But it's value is only as high as people value it for, so the trillion dollar question is whether it's just a fad. For those of us who are skeptical, there are definitely things that could bring us to the other side, such as sustained value for a longer period of time.
You could be overReacting. I hope this doens't mean Facebook has a secret dev-center in R'lyeh.
Not paywalled anymore-(Economist journo)
Quick question: How are you handling Intel's security patches vis-a-vis benchmarks/consistency? In particular as there are like three(?) performance impacting fixes now that were released over a two or more year period.

For example in articles like this where you include older chips are you just listing the numbers from previous benchmarks, or are all running on the same patch level/OS?
in joshua tree, for example, there are only two small areas with reservation campsites. the rest are first come first serve. so if you show up for a weekend without a reservation which is extremely difficult to get because joshua tree is very very popular, then you might not find any camping at all, or have to drive around for a long time trawling for an open or soon-to-be-open site.

Anyone can explain more?
All the axioms the argument is based on can be false. It's still interesting to debate but not necessarily close to reality.
On the German city where I live, they are pretty alright.
This is a common complaint that confounds me. Did other people go to schools with radically different curricula?

I had multiple teachers discuss note taking habits, using a planner, how to approach reading a book, using mnemonics, and using the internet for research projects.

I had a health class that discussed good eating and exercise habits.

I remember being encouraged to find an after school club/activity and a day where career counselors came to class.

We had multiple arts and gym classes.

I remember a section of an English course where we covered professional skills such as public speaking and drafting emails.

Many of my classes required group projects.

I had multiple science classes that covered evolution and the cell.

Nearly everyone of the author's bullet points raised my eyebrows and left me wondering what their science/health/gym/English classes covered. I think the author fails to realize how much of what they want is already incorporated.

Edit: Corrected punctuation.
It depends entirely on what "you" means here. In a dream, the whole reality is you, and this is not something you have to take on faith: through lucid dreaming (or rather, its various extensions in dream yoga) it's possible to gain introspective access to all the details of the psyche that manifests as the apparent reality. That psyche doesn't belong to the dream character you thought you were but is still "you" in the most intimate sense.

Mystics claim that it is possible to do something similar for this reality. It's all "I," where "I" ultimately points at something some might call "God." Hence the common instructions to look very carefully within.
I would like to know deeper how much shady are shady alternatives

Great. So, can you hook in to a running browser the next time a tab crashes, fix it, and continue viewing the website, with no prior setup? How?
I'm seeing comments asserting that the telling of these experiences are "wasting everyone's time" and "a childish rant", but _only_ because they do not name names. That doesn't sound reasonable to me. Clearly writing about experiences has some value regardless of whether it's anonymized, and even more clearly, the angry attacks are disproportionate if the critics are saying they hinge entirely on that one difference.
I was on a stagnant personal development trajectory for a while and having a family unleashed stored potential. It is impossible to know exactly how things would have turned out in an alternate reality but if I feel that things took a better turn and that is enough for me to feel satisfied.
You should try to get past that to post-scarcity thinking, possibly interstellar.
Similar to how opposition to logging in the US led to an increase in lumber being supplied from countries that don't care about protecting the environment at all. So sure, the Spotted Owl has been protected, but it may be at the cost of the Sumatran Tiger.
I've had good results with the react-rails gem, basically letting me plop bits of react into a rails view. It's not like, the best the in the world from a pure design standpoint? But it does a really, really good job of not having react step on the toes of all the super nice things that Rails will do for you.
Except Amazon is known to be pretty good at avoiding to pay taxes.

The simplest explanation of this is

1) He doesn't think this is going to go anywhere or if it does, his message is going to influence anything. If the taxes are going to get increased, he could show he was for it.

2) Increased taxes will make it more difficult for competition to survive.
It is a dark view, but I’m not sure the general population living longer would be necessary beneficial to society. But it has more to do with all the implicit propaganda around us and the flaws of democracy. And that older people seem to have a more rigid world view. So all I’m saying is that we have to understand the human brain’s psychology as it gets older.
The idea that we ought to have a better philosophical underpinning for AGI makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately the author blows past this and starts making a lot of tortured claims that don't entirely make sense.

The example of years that started with 20s seemed quite odd. Given the easiest way to understand numbers at least for me is inductively. Of course if you lop off a bunch of information such as the digits after 20 or 19 it sounds like an impossible problem.
Windows has been POSIX compliant for about 20 years.
We've been working on https://www.unstack.com to provide one comprehensive toolset for building and scaling up a static site. Would love to hear feedback from HN.
> How does this result in a different situation then the "centralized" DNS we have today?

If, for instance, the DNS entries were tied to entries in a blockchain, such as namecoin, then no 3rd party would be involved in a transaction to transfer the domain, no annual fees would be required, and no one could block or remove an entry.
This is very bad advice.

If you are interested in learning about software, making your own SSG is a fun and simple project. If you don’t know HTML, handwriting a couple of pages is a great way to learn. If you want to make a website, writing by hand is a total waste of time.
This is a great example of far blender has come! It took a few hours to render using free software on a computer that probably cost under $10K.

Imagine how much time and cost this kind of animation would have taken just a decade again. It's pretty amazing.
I plan to get help from a designer to improve the look and feel of the output diagrams, thanks for the feedback.
>Here's an even more alarming idea: might one make all bad bets? It probably happens quite often. But we don't know how often, because these people don't become famous.

Not everyone wants to become famous based on their interests. They just want to do what they enjoy. Their (non-) creative interest may pay dividends. Or it may not.
Anything that doesn't work out-of-the-box is dead on arrival, though. I would never be willing to move my domain from .org to a system that people couldn't get to without installing additional software (eg OpenNIC.) But if every OS and/or every major browser supported OpenNIC, then I'd be willing to make the switch.
Did you see the lego men demo on that page? Thought that was pretty awesome!
It's more like the prediction that by 1950 there would be so many horses and buggies that the streets of London will be knee-deep in horse poop.

Also it's not a prediction, it's more of a soapbox.
Extrapolate in any old direction you like, it's equally likely to be true.
The article doesn't mention, but I assume this allows for faster than light speed communication? If so this is a huge breakthrough (huge is a huge understatement)and we can finally test out some time travel paradoxes for real.
We are these sorts of people.
If you are a stockholder in Google, the easy answer to this is that if you don't believe in this "long-term vision" barely articulated by Page then you are free to ask for your capital back (by selling your shares). As Page and Brin are still the majority holders of google's voting stock they can pretty much do whatever they want (although it might not be in their long-term interest).
I don't think it is really related to tech, I'm in Dubai where we have no tech, and we pay even more in many places for food/coffee and even clothes.
probably its more like a cultural/human nature thing?

Who died? Is there any evidence of that?

This article http://www.thenation.com/blog/174622/seven-myths-about-bradl... (in the myth #5) shows some evidence, in fact, of the opposite.

Even the military finds no deaths from the leaks: http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/31/59869.htm
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Does anyone else remember lowsrc? Or am I showing my age?
Knowledge is good, however, better than knowledge is simply doing. And many times knowledgeable people over think whereas less knowledgeable people will just go forth and accomplish because they don’t know it can’t be done.
Love Groovy's static+dynamic typing. I developed HiveMind (www.crudzilla.com) and the IDE backend is written entirely in Groovy primarily because I am a Java developer and could use Groovy without having to learn a new syntax.
In many places, not really.

If you can even afford it, it'd mean living in an apartment or sharing a place. And probably renting - the UK rental market is a nightmare in my experience.

Fine if you're doing it out of choice or prefer it, but when it's basically a condition of employment, it's too much of an encroachment upon home life to me.

I love having a garden. I like having the space to tinker with a vehicle. I like my home to be in a reasonably quiet area not buzzing with nightlife, and so forth.

Like I mentioned in the other post - many probably see it as an entitlement issue, but I think that's fundamentally flawed. I don't think it's wrong to believe that you should be able to control the time you spend outside work.

For a while I managed to get by in life by exercising what I can only really describe as thought control. I figured that if I could just adjust my desires, I would be happier. If I learned to enjoy things like sitting on a stuffy train and marvel at the fact that I'm flying through a tunnel, that would be the path to success.

Nowadays, 'success' has left the financial realm, mostly. I just want to get by and do the things that are precious to me. Life's too short, we deserve more than to throw everything away for work.
... the crux of my question, rather the bent of my inquiry, is could this be something designed by a possibly intelligent being or group of beings?

God needs no proof; absolutes are the authors of their own demise.
Paper is interesting, ambitious, and certainly seems crafted with more love than the normal Facebook app, but I'm not sure you can say it's better. I tried it out for a while but ultimately found it was getting in the way of my basic FB needs. I'm a pretty geeky user; when I've tried to get more mainstream people to use Paper, they just get realllly confused and go running back to normal FB.

These days, I just use the FB web page, and messenger. (I love that they split messenger into its own app. I wish they'd do something similar for desktop.)
Thanks! Using the accidental motion of the photographer is extremely cool. However, for my purposes I have video that is taken from a camera on a tripod, so I don't think that method will work.
apps are clients.

what on earth makes you think they are not?

I understand the vision. But I also understand, as someone who has used app.net, in actual fact, simply porting your social graph into a new app does you no good. You still have to convince all your friends to also get that same app before they can see what you post with it. The vision only works with basic media, like text, and photos, posted in a very straightforward twitter-like way.

I'll give you a specific example: Group chat with photos. Yep, there's an app.net app that does that, and now, you can't see the photos unless you have that app. so what's the point? what's in the vision for this situation?
Facebook bought close to $40 million of Friendster's patents.

Does Zuck really have over $1 billion in liquid assets?
I've had three (all spontaneous). The first one was pretty serious and they had to put in a chest tube in a bit of a hurry, so nothing aside from a small amount of topical anesthetic. Seeing them stuff several inches of a metal tube directly into your chest is like being shot in slow motion.
me too, theres a good series of books within the "at work" series, such as founders at work, euro founders at work etc

Can't you create and edit files directly on github.com? If so, this could be done without a CLI.
Make two versions of app: one with location feature and one without, then compare number of installations and average rating.
Well not to make this personal, but how would you consider this 'slipping through the cracks'? If your family is worth 1mm or 2mm or whatever, would you feel it's 'fair' (for lack of a better word) that you'd get a full ride? 2mm in real estate is enough to retire on, would it be 'fair' if somebody (or their children) who essentially lives off the returns on their capital gets a 'needs based' grant?
While I am happy that bot every program needs 40 000 pages og written docs to be signed off there is sone very interesting observations here.
Seriously, don't be that guy. You're part of the problem.
The projects themselves have progressed since this article and MirageOS is doing pretty well [1]. There was also a recent HN discussion on an experiment to create (and run) one VM per URL, which was built via MirageOS [2].

Although there are many applications of the unikernel approach, a longer term goal that I'm particularly keen to work towards is the idea of distributed personal clouds. Enabling people to run their own infrastructure, without becoming sysadmins, would be pretty cool [3]. Of course, there are other ways to achieve this but unikernels offer certain benefits.
