For a post called "Quitting Twitter", I think this piece actually does a great job summarizing the really cool things about Twitter. I think there's something a little magical about finding someone you really respect in your field, responding to one of their tweets, and getting a thoughtful response six minutes later!

The toxicity is rough, though. It exhausts me on big subreddits, too -- it's impossible to have conversations with anyone because the focus is on "dunking" people for the benefit of other readers. Like anything else reddit, it gets better the smaller you go.

I find this is actually true on Twitter, too. I've had some positive interactions in the replies under a @patio11 tweet with 120 likes. But any moderately popular tweet is just a shitshow.

Twitter (and Reddit, and HN, etc.) are sort of pretending to be conversation-software, when really, they're tiny blogs; by and large, you don't write replies for the benefit of the person to whom you're responding, you write them for all the people who you know are going to see your reply. That's the source of so much of the toxic feeling, IMO, but it's also the entire value propositon: come see the interesting (or funny, or infuriating, or horrifying) back-and-forth of internet strangers!

Maybe the toxicity can be eliminated or mitigated somehow, but I really think it's part-and-parcel with the format of "public conversation."

God knows I'm part of the problem; I write between 1 and 10 HN/reddit comments every day. It's an addiction! External validation feels very, very good. I try not to "dunk" people, but if there's one thing the internet has, it's no shortage of idiotic comments, and it's hard for me not to take a condescending tone when someone's talking about how women don't deserve to play videogames or how Joe Biden wants to eat babies or whatever.

I guess the best you can hope for is a community spirit that encourages thoughtful conversation and discourages shit-talking. And I think that's where Twitter, by and large, really fails. Twitter culture at large is so, so based around "look at this dumb shit this idiot said! aren't they stupid?" It sucks, and it absolutely warps people like the author says.
We could start with reporting periods shorter than a month, so that naked shorting is more visible from the public data. GameStop shares stood at over 170% of float for several months, and though that's ridiculously high it's not enough information to trigger an SEC investigation.
Agree with a lot of these points, but not quite sure how you solve them with a better solution.

I came to say the same thing. Ortholinear (grid) or staggered columnar keyboards would appeal to an extremely small but passionate group of ergo keyboard users. Given that the alternative for folks who use this kind of layout is to carry around a separate $150-400[1] keyboard I think at least a few people would be willing to pay a hefty premium for a laptop with a customizable keyboard.

> No, this a different concept and is a different mechanism at work.

They both use shockwaves to smother the fire. Seems like the same mechanism to me, and also a very similar concept.

No clue why you posted that then almost contradicted that line with:

> They both do retard access of oxidizer of course, but then so does nearly every other extinguishing method, starting from fire blankets.

Seems like you just wanted to be disagreeable for the sake of it, but then rolled back your disagreement almost completely one line later.
How much concrete did the US use from 2011-2013?

No. It's completely positive. Methane has almost no pollution, and far less CO2 than any other large scale energy source.

The "contamination" is methane in water, which is harmless even if you drank it, and trivial to remove.

Of course, things may have gotten better or worse since then.
In those same countries, though, "clap" is also a musical term and has many other meanings unrelated to both STD's and music.

I mean, I understand your concern, but I think it's a bit of a long shot that someone is going to think of the disease first when they come across this software.

Sometimes the first bullet that flies is not the first shot of the war. Some scholars claim that the USA committed the first act of war well before the CSA opened fire on Ft. Sumter.

Obfuscating the adversarial acts that occurred before battle is joined is a choice made by historians. I recall my history teachers teaching about the Stamp Act and the Intolerable Acts prior to Lexington and Concord, but somehow Fort Sumter started the Civil War? That situation would be a lot like petitioning for divorce, getting the house in the settlement, and coming home that night to find that your ex-spouse was still living in the garden shed.

But I think it is safe to say that there were plenty of jerkfaces on both sides of the conflict, and they got a lot of good people killed, along with the bad. I can't say for certain what would have avoided the bloodshed, if anything, because we cannot A/B test history. I believe that war then was substantially similar to war now; it is usually a handful of people who stand to benefit, maneuvering other people into a false choice between losing and losing more. By the time the actual shooting starts, the bets have already been placed, and all that remains is to wait for the dice to stop rolling.

It's nice that slavery was abolished in the whole USA in the aftermath of the war, but on the whole, the UK way of doing it was much better. If the worst aftereffect they are feeling now is some outstanding 4% consols, that's hardly worrisome at all, compared to the lingering legacies of abolition in the US.
although this post references Java, this doesn't just affect java. This affects anything that uses ISO 8601.

How exactly do you deter a government that rolls tanks against its own citizens? I really don't think there's a democratic reform avenue here. People will deal with it, and largely accept it due to their anti-western attitudes. The Communist Party sees citizens as their subjects and will put them in line as need be. Its not a democracy.
It's still creating a niche of a niche. It's a waste of resources; OpenBSD needs every active contributor it can get.

It's cool and meets exactly the nerdy cool factor I look for in articles on HN.

Would I invest time into doing the same, nope but then I don't think many out there would spend the same time I spend on my hobbies.
I don't think there's a problem with you being critical of any specific action without being labelled an anti-semite. Some things are just plain wrong. Some things are more nuanced so it's nice to acknowledge this nuance, e.g. "I disagree that X is a good reason for Y" rather than saying "I condemn Y". Sweeping generalizations are probably less useful.

That said, if one's focus is 100% on "things that Jews do wrong" .. maybe that's something else.

Also indigenous populations in the Americas are still being wronged today!

> If the United States continues on the current political course, nothing will ever change.

Our political course is set by our media, because it's hard (and getting harder) to find information otherwise. Right now the media is concerned with hating Russia (for the seventh year in a row), a nonexistent crime wave, and that unapproved information remains too available. If you think the US has any other problems other than made up ones, you're out of luck.

A B2B business has two choices if they want to institute a 4-day week. They can be closed 20% of the week, when their competition is likely open, or they can be open 5 days and spread 4 days of work out among their staff. So now if your coworker takes off Tuesdays, and you take off Wednesdays, you better not have a question for him on Tuesday morning.

And isn't 28 hours 3.5 days?
When hospitals reach critical levels of occupancy or patients that are "near death" the option of a terminal morphine drip is more common than you'd think. However, I feel it's important to mention that anyone who wants decent medical care while alive should never arrange a DNR. There's actually clinical evidence to suggest that a DNR can actually markedly lower your level of care in a hospital or ICU [0]

Article has some good points, but even my somewhat temperate view of Apple (I find the type of devotion a little like Scientology, to be honest) doesn't make me believe "Reader" is a nefarious scheme to overtake advertising -- although I am sure that wouldn't be looked down upon internally.
(Disclaimer: I work for Bizo)

Bizo allows you to target on specific business demographics (Company Size, Job Function, etc.), and to do so cheaply (starts at $5/day). One advantage Bizo has over Facebook, StumbleUpon, etc. is that the ads are shown across many websites instead of just one.

Unfortunately, "professional coach" is not one of Bizo's targetable segments, so other offerings may work better for CoachFire. Your other sites, however, may be a better fit:

http://www.bizo.com/marketer/selfserve

LinkedIn has a similar offering (https://www.linkedin.com/directads/) that allows you to target people in the "Professional Training and Coaching" industry, but, similar to the other sites you mentioned, ads will only be shown to users browsing LinkedIn.
Maybe. My experience of Java web frameworks is that they mostly tend to be written in very idiomatic Java. So lots of objects and factory classes, XML configuration for the older frameworks, annotations for the newer ones, that sort of thing.

It seems to me that the philosophy of most Java frameworks is so different from that of Clojure, you'd have difficulty reconciling the two. I'm sure you could write a Clojure interop wrapper, but it seems to me as though there wouldn't be many advantages to using it.
They might not be facing such large infrastructure cost if they had continuously upgraded their network. I remember reading last summer, that the last 8 quarters (basically since they got the iPhone) AT&T network investment had gone down.
Yeah, the switch was the first and last console I bought since the PS2. The value proposition of a combined console and handheld, coupled with lots of nice games made it well worth it. On the other hand, I'm no longer interested in the Playstation series due to lack of backwards compatibility. I've still got lots of PS1 and PS2 games but no more PS2. If the PS6 will support them, I'd get it. Otherwise, not.
What is the PRC's problem with Github?
It's hard to believe the problem lies solely with the developers when every project is this bad. For fun, I just downloaded the source for GNU grep. You'd figure they might have some experience. Among the 600 tests configure performs is

checking whether mkfifoat is declared without a macro... yes

Why? Nowhere in grep is there a single call to mkfifoat. Why does it care?

You are mentioning two things. 1) yes, they send send signals, and their "inverse" over a pair of cables. That's guaranteed by the use of transformers on your network card/network switch. Current that the transformer sends in one line of a pair, has to be returned in the other pair.

https://www.google.de/search?q=ethernet+transformer&tbm=isch

On an old 10MBit or 100MBit/s card (10BaseT, 100BaseT) on each device there will be one pair to send data out, and one to receive data. This uses up 4 pins on your RJ45 connector, the other 2 are unused. The pair that is used on your network card to send out data are pins 1 and 2. The pair that is used on your network card to receive data is on pins 3 and 6.

The 2nd thing you mention are the two standards TIA/EIA-568 assigns colors to pins, and they have a version A and B where the colours of pair 1/2 and pair 3/6 are swapped.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIA/EIA-568

Hence, when you have a cable where one side is wired according to "A" and the other is wired according to "B" you have something that, in the old days, was called a cross-cable, which you could use to directly connecto two computers with each other, without having a hub or switch in between. Which is very useful, especially if you'd connect e.g. two switches in two buildings with each other.

Tx 568A 568B Tx
1 o---white----\ /---white---o
2 o---green---- \ /----orange--o
X
3 o---white---- / \----white---o
6 o---orange---/ \---green---o
Rx Rx

But because miswirings regarding the two color schemes were so frequent, and connecting routers/switches/computers directly using "straight" cables was so convenient, most devices manufactured after the 90s can swap these pairs internally automatically. Hence no matter if you have a strait or cross-cable, or a miswired 568A/B installation computers will just function fine.

With 1000BaseT (Gigabit-Ethernet) data is transmitted and received on all pairs simultaneously, and also this miswiring is automatically detected and taken into account.
We will probably found out it was a mistake the the programmer has been "fired".
I'm also European, and I had never heard of them. On first impression, it looks like an AirBnB clone lacking in polish (eg. no hybrid list/map view; detected my language, but showed me prices in GBP, etc).
It’s rare with LSD but occasionally they’ll substitute a research chemical with similar effects. You’re more likely to have that happen with “MDMA” that is actually methamphetamine or one of the analogues. Both are horrible.

There are places that sell home testing kits which are very useful since you don’t know what you’re getting by looking at it. People used to test for each other at raves until the police said it was a form of condoning drug use and shut it down. So now people still buy but it’s more dangerous.
This is an intriguing product just for the novelty, but I'm not completely getting what itch it is trying to scratch?

Is it just to simplify connection to these various endpoints through a single "API" making switching backend providers "easier"? Or am I missing something?

If I am building my product on top of AWS or DropBox, or Box, or any of these, why would I not go straight to the vendor?
Oh I would not suggest rolling your own crypto. Rather, just fork openssl and make a very subtle change to each formula. For in-house use of course.

Ages ago, I used to change up a rubix-cube for a friend. The more I changed it, the quicker he could solve it. If I made just a very subtle change, it would take him up to an extra 7 seconds to solve it.
I agree with you and I think the question itself might be putting the cart before the horse. We didn't develop moral philosophy so that we could punish murderers, we started punishing murderers first because we had to and then we started thinking about how to communicate the rules and navigate the fuzzy grey areas.

It may be that free will is a philosophical dead-end but if you get rid of it then it turns out it was never all that foundational to begin with.

The Gigafactory PDF does make it sound like it'll be 500,000 vehicles per year, though. Perhaps it's left vague because "500,000 batteries" just doesn't sound like a lot of batteries to most people.
If you got an order for ten Saturn Vs tomorrow, how easy would it be to make them?

Maybe lost technology isn't exactly the term, but when a project is completed, people move on and retire, and the supply chain moves on, then the capability to make that technology goes away very quickly. And unless a successor follows on continuously, it can be very difficult to get back to where you were if the need arises.

I have no doubt that the NASA of today could be mobilised to make a better rocket, on cost and timescales comparable to or improved upon the original. But if that is the only way to get back to a Saturn V-like capability, it is fair to say that something has been lost.

You mean single syllables? All syllables are definitely not created equal, some are harder to pronounce than others, and some don’t combine nicely when pronounced side by side.

I do, but that’s beside the point. s/reciting/reading out loud/ if you wish.

Edit: I see the confusion now. I didn’t mean “remembering” within three seconds, that would be insane for most people.
I'm not sure this is correct; July and August were renamed, yes, but not inserted. They did steal days from February, which was originally the last month of the Roman calendar.
That's why Cohen's speech is all the more important. To be clear, I don't agree with everything he said but he is absolutely right that there are some facts that are objectively true. Filtering out misinformation from fact and opinion means those political parties can still have their debates where they slam their opponents but they cannot make lies nor baseless allegations.

The problem we have these days is it's become impossible for the casual observer to separate fact from fiction. Which then just encourages people to take information spread within their own echo chamber at face value (since, rightly or wrongly, that's the network they trust). If we can at least remove the falsehoods from the conversation that is a step forward in having open debates.

Someone will no doubt point out that there's a fuzzy line between a lie and something that is true but intentionally misleading, so where do you draw the line. Unfortunately there's no easy answer to that. However I personally believe things have gotten bad enough where it's now worth the trying.
People assume trucks are safer in accidents, even though that is by most measures a wrong assumption- Humans are irrational in that way.

Actually, you don't need to in most real programs. You usually use the elements of a list with some function that makes it clear what type they have.

In GHCi (the interpreter) this doesn't happen. It has some defaulting rules to alleviate this, but I don't quite understand them, so I can't say why they didn't kick in in this case.
