Imagine we lived in a world with moral consequences, perhaps the sort of world where evil people burn in hell or something like the twilight zone, where supernatural events strike down bad people, rather than the real world.

Lying to people to try to get them to vote against their economic interests seems the sort of thing that lands people in hell or haunted by an evil doll in such a universe.

"He's just making his case" doesn't really seem like sort of reasoning that would follow in a moral universe. The import thing is "is that case moral?"
Unbelievable. This is petty shit you'd expect from 100+ years ago when companies were breaking strikes by killing people. Might as well rename this country to the Corporate States of America. No level of government has any backbone against the private sector.
Framework founder here. We'll be announcing pricing shortly before we open pre-orders this spring. We won't be asking consumers to pay a premium for longevity, and will be setting pricing to be comparable to other popular notebooks using the same silicon.
Maybe. It would have to be subconscious on my part. I did read a book about it.
I really want to love DO, but I just can't. 2 main pain points I had from working with it for ~3 month:

1. Spaces keys. There is no way to fine tune access rights. Anyone with spaces key can access any space in the organization and read/write to it. I trust people I work with, but there is always room for a mistake, so even a small chance that someone can accidentally nuke our production space makes me nervous.

2. Something from yesterday: we use new DO apps to deploy a static web app. Yesterday I started to get random 404s for some of the assets, so app become unusable. My colleague in Argentina had same issues, but for different assets. We are lucky that it was a staging app, but imagine it was a production app and that would happen over the weekend? How do you even detect that? Run uptime monitor form dozen different locations?
I know what it costs to make that headline, and Facebook got off cheap.
Yep jsonresume has good themes but don't use space efficiently. Resumonk has some decent themes, i might try that out. Thanks.
He could still run Xmonad and have a workspace for a browser, only switching to it when he wants to check something. Running a proper window manager will not interfere with how many things he wants to run in Emacs.

I've run Xmonad bare on a dual core 1 GHz machine with 512 MB RAM and it ran great. The processes he runs are going to vastly outweigh Xmonad in terms of resource usage. This is one of the worst non-solutions I've seen to this, when he could've had the same setup without any of the hassle.
Well, de-facto may be a strong word for what I meant, as everybody has their own way of doing things.

For me, appealing side of react + flux for me is it's simplicity. Adhere to the few principles of them (one way data flow, no permanent state in components etc.), and you have a scalable architecture in your hands, with little to no magic on the data side.

Haven't used marty yet, and since I've already developed what marty offers on my own app already I don't plan on using it soon, but from what I read in the docs, it doesn't try to do too much, or make too many decisions on your behalf. It offers more structure than a barebones dispatcher, without getting in the way. And in my experience, that is a really efficient and scalable way of building complex apps.
Is it possible to do streaming replication to PostgeSQL, from another database, say MYSQL?

This would be the best way to do a migration without braking an existing system.
if you have enough pins, a custom asic can do just about whatever you want. the data flowing into the HPU is likely huge, but it is processed down into something the CPU can deal with.
And in medicine, and aviation, and civil engineering, the regulators have teeth because the stakes are so high.

But, there's also a culture of not blaming the lowest-common-denominator employee when there are problems. To the best of my knowledge, the FAA and NTSB explicitly don't blame any individuals when putting together post-mortem incident reports. That's specifically to avoid creating the culture of ducking responsibility that GP was talking about.

I also launched this kickstarter. Would love your feedback.
I see the drones as a last mile delivery solution. Rather than flying the drones all the way from the distribution centers to peoples' houses, they could drive their trucks out to your neighborhood, and then release a set of drones to deliver packages the 'last mile'. This would allow them to deliver a bunch of packages at once without the driver getting out of the truck, and larger packages could still be hand delivered for the time being.

Also, I'd imagine that the drones would be (remotely) human driven at least the first few times they drop off a package, so they can learn where to drop off the package (similar to how Google handles training their self driving cars). After that, they could drop it off automatically, but hand off control to a human if the environment looks too different.
Lego mindstorms has a beautiful visual programming tool in which you combine little blocks to build programs. Has flow control and all sorts of things going on, with the added bonus that everything is very tactile... you input the commands, click a button, and your contraption starts doing things.

It's what I would start my kids on.
There are people who I find I trust to make smart submissions and smart comments. However, with the increasing popularity of HN it's all too easy to miss a submission or comment by them. Sometimes by fluke of timing or something an otherwise worthy submission gets missed, un-upvoted, and sinks without trace.

I'd welcome a system that finds items it thinks I'd find interesting and brings them to my attention. the occasional false positive will mean that I see things I otherwise might ignore, and I would get the chance to upvote things I think deserve it.

The fact that there are so many people doing or thinking about something similar shows that there is a need. Or at least a want.
I've got a 2 year old and we muck about with http://scratch.mit.edu/ every so often (choose rockets on google images and make them take off to the moon, have steam trains drive around, change directions and play recorded sounds when you press the keys etc). The thing is I'm not doing it to show him how to program, and I have no preference as to whether he ends up knowing how to code, it is just something fun and creative to do; an alternative to playdough, lego or painting and drawing.

My guess is that to the average person nothing much of import will be revealed -- but I could be wrong. In either case, I don't think the short-term fallout is important.

What's completely insane (in my view) is that the diplomacy corps of the United States may have just been damaged beyond repair. It could take a generation or more to recover from this, and it could hurt a hell of a lot of people. Even if you hate the United States, that's a lot of collateral damage on the path to openness. There are a lot of very serious things going on in the world, and people have spent their entire lives getting into position to help nations come to agreement over various things. These do sneaky things, sure, but they also prevent wars. Getting rid of them by exposing all of their reports and identities is whacked, not to mention the damage to foreign governments when it comes out who has been secretly helping whom.

The far-reaching impact could truly be mind-boggling in scale. And it wouldn't surprise me at all to see it all being greeted with silence from around the world -- there's really no point in anybody making a spectacle of reacting.

I can't help but feel that this is going to be very destabilizing to a lot of nations. And U.S. secrecy is not going to be affected at all. If anything it will just increase to more insane levels beyond where it already is.
my nation is a different one from yours.

And that goes for a large number of people.

Not all secrets are evil, however I'm fairly sure that the fact that some secrets in fact are evil is what drives the feeding frenzy around wikileaks. If all that came to the surface would be an impeccably functioning diplomatic machinery with the highest standards for ethics I highly doubt this would get as much press and attention as it does.

None at all. I'm the one arguing that we don't know whether it is a net good or bad.

Much like throwing pennies off the top of the Empire State Building, though, uncertainty about whether something will have positive or disastrously negative consequences is generally a good argument against doing it.

Works for Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, US. Historical price information anything where someone's looked them up at least once - which basically means everything, except super-super-tail items.

It's pretty amusing to see how much the price fluctuates over time - probably tracking other stores' special deals and so on.

I mostly use it to buy games: set a price track alert when they come out, tell the site to email me when they hit £20 a year or two later.
Update on the Bobcats (for those interested):

My understanding for poor Jingle support is that, whereas text is easy and low-bandwidth (so you can afford to send everything through a 3rd party server with easy connection semantics), voice and video are much, much much more complicated: not only do you have multiple voice and video codecs with iffy support and stability (sure, even if support library claims to support CodecFoo, it may still fail when passed data from your peer that uses this other library), but the bandwidth requirements means that you now have to deal with trying to directly connect these two clients despite any silent NAT or firewall that may be hidden around. Jingle provided its NAT-traversal algorithm, but even that required network support in the form of "superservers" for when all else failed.

I haven't used Windows in 10+ years, so I've got some questions for those who are smarter than me on the subject of Windows:

Does it come with package management yet? Can I easily avoid DLL hell these days? Can I add my own local repository and use it to maintain a fleet of workstations, making sure they always have the same configuration no matter what?

Is it easily possible to connect to a Windows machine and administer it from a command line/scripting environment? Can I disable the GUI and use Windows without tying up resources for unneeded functionality - i.e. no graphics card required?

Is all of this onboard, or does some/most of it require the involvement of a 3rd-party add-on? If its not onboard, can I validate that 3rd-party with signed keys? Is there an onboard key agent that will make this possible?

Is there an easy way to get a compiler onboard without requiring registration and so on, or does it ship with development tools already set up and configured? Are these tools usable without requiring GUI involvement - i.e. remotely?

These are earnest questions, I honestly don't know. If the majority of the answers are in the affirmative, then I'll give Windows 10 a try - it would make a nice change from what I've gotten used to with my Linux machine.

No. As long as people keep using the same online communications to plan inflicting harm on society as society does to exchange pictures of grandkids and recipes, those communications will keep being monitored, and thus we can have no expectation of privacy. Liberties have always been compromised for the sake of security, Benjamin Frankliin quotes notwithstanding.

But! Taking these numbers at face value, the low error rate tells us that, yes, we can have privacy with pretty high probability. As with all things in life, it is not guaranteed, but these are much better chances than what we can expect in other aspects of life. I mean, tens of thousands erroneously picked up over many months out of the billions of emails exchanged daily? Why, you're more likely to die in a terrorist attack than be snooped on [1]!

[1] No, I haven't run the numbers, just saying so for dramatic effect :-P
Can't say if this is still the case but when I had a MikroTik Routerboard by default it allowed everything through on IPv6.
As long as the board doesn't do anything really shady, dilution generally affects all shareholders equally. (Well, the effect can be slightly different for preferred stock holders, but at least former employees will generally be in the same boat as founders and current employees.)

One of the reasons for the formation of worker's unions (such as screen actor's guild) is to protect the rights of actors and film workers, at all levels. Receiving proper credit is a big part of compensation.
There may be a fine line between a "film" and an "advertisement", and what's more this is surely not a SAG film, but it seems to me that credit for choreography on something like this - where the dance is the core of the content - is appropriate.

Salaries in Japan are very flat compared to the US with high-paying jobs often only paying 30-50% more than low-skill jobs. I'd also note that US minimum wage is $7.25 while Japan minimum wage is $8.67.

Things are also different because relatively few married women are in the work force. From that, you could say that the average pay in Japan is much higher. In the US, wages stagnated for a couple decades and cost of living skyrocketed in the US as women entered the work force until it now takes 2 salaries to stay afloat vs only one in Japan (we'll exclude the unofficially high poverty rates).

At the same time, US workers put in 41.3 hours per week for men and 36.3 hours per week for women (working 14% less time accounts for an enormous part of the earning difference between the sexes). In contrast, while the law officially puts the work day at 8 hours with statutory paid leave going up to about 3 weeks, most workers take little to no vacation and "voluntarily" work many more days and 30-50% longer hours per day than the US worker (though at the same time, productivity per hour may not always be high).

> I also realized that it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to use data from EMR out of the box.

This is my biggest complaint with the EMR systems I've used and I've always wanted to improve this. I wonder if fellow doctors would be okay with using a simple structured language to describe data in an EMR.

For example:

Height: 175 cm
Weight: 70 kg

Ethnicity: white
Age: 40 years
Creatinine: 0.9 mg/dl

An inference engine could use that data to calculate lots of things. Simple stuff like body mass index and creatinine clearance. The patient could be automatically classified in all possible scores given available data.

Doctors already do this work, we even input this exact same data into calculator apps. The innovation would be recognizing this data in the EMR text and doing it automatically. I think it would be a huge gain.
There is a reason that the two top scoring majors on the LSAT are engineering majors and philosophy majors.
utf8mb3 isn't a broken subset. It includes characters in the basic multilingual plane which is fine for 99% of cases.

uft8mb4 uses more bytes than necessary for most. You get 255 varchar limits with uft8mb3, I think you only get 192 characters with uft8mb4.
