>that would essentially opt them out of modern society

That's all I want from life, to be left alone, far removed from all the vapid bullshit of "modern society". I want to stop worrying how the game show host in chief is killing my countrymen today. I want to stop doomscrolling the news without it hurting my ability to survive. I want to live an existence where my greatest worries are will my flock and crop perform this year, and will I be a good parent, spouse, and neighbor. Period. Full stop. This world is so needlessly cruel, dehumanizing, and, irrational that I want out. My dreams of escaping to a mundane life on the land is what gets me out of bed each day and then stops me from making worse choices than demeaning myself for money.

If we hold peoples hands and show them just how utterly fucked they are then maybe we can finally have cogent discussions on how to solve the deep systemic problems that lead to inane situations like this, without it taking generations.

I'd rather work for a company that cares more about making the best products they can, than pandering to Wall Street and investors.
This looks neat! Just wondering, who is the target audience?
Enterprise software is where much of the industry is employed. SOAP is becoming more prevalent, not less.
I'm glad you enjoyed the README, I had fun writing it (aided by some Jameson).
Except coal cost's ~1/10th what refined Oil does.

1 short ton (907kg) of coal costs $71.25 as of October 2010 coal has an energy density around ~32.5 (MJ/kg). 907kg * (32.5MJ / kg ) / $71.25 = 413 MJ per $.

Compared to gas at ~3$ / gallon. So, 121 MJ / gallon / (3$ / gallon = 40 MJ per $.
I don't see Larry that often, but the next time we cross paths, I'll try to ask "Hey, was that you on Hacker News?" :)
This is a thread about web development though.
I would probably actually donate if they stopped doing user-hostile things like not letting me get at my conversations unless I set a profile name.

Maybe when a company becomes so large, it should be subject to different rules then.
This could work as a good argument to switch if executed well.

Those aren't conflicting positions; indefinitely can mean both "unspecified/undetermined" or "unlimited/forever" amounts of time. So you can interpret that statement as

"we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts for at least the next two weeks, but potentially longer."
> You can disagree all you want you really are categorising these numbers incorrectly; the data as supplied lists the categories “open”, “occupied”, and “% of open beds occupied” - which seems pretty clear.

I went back and looked and you're right. I didn't look at the XLS file, I just pulled the raw data from the CSV file which doesn't offer the %.

It's clear from the XLS that the % is derived from occupied/open and not occupied/(open+occupied) as I was thinking.
Facebook was never for the 'People' they never had a chance at 'winning'
Zuckerberg buried the lede (emphasis mine):

> We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great. Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.
The simplest solution favoured by European magazines and newspapers is to put factoids away from the main body of the article. They can be put into separate text boxes, or added to illustration descriptions. The laziest illustration would be a photo of some generic landmark view from that town, but they can also try to find a photo of his school (there are about five schools in that Lebanon, right?), for example. Notice that they already have a photo with his girlfriend with a single sentence description, they could move a half of tangent about his personal life in it.

The harder solution is to try to find a context which will make that factoid more interesting. For example, "Shaker Curse". Imagine an article telling you that everybody born there is cursed to never prosper, and now your mind is wondering, did Michael Larson broke the alleged curse, or affirmed it?

The hardest solution I had seen was an entire separate encyclopedia with biographies of people mentioned in the news crosslinked with a news article.
I guess that's part of the plan, give it for free and make it indispensable and then reap the rewards. Feels like a drug operation. :(

Digg started out for me (a long time ago) as a place where I could "discover" the "stuff" that interested me with a minimum amount of noise from the stuff that didn't. Eventually though, it became broader in it's appeal and my own private little corner of discovery became infested with memes, lolcats and motivational lolsters. I was tiring of Digg by this point and the redesign simply made it easy for me to jump ship. Then I found Hacker News and I couldn't be fucking happier. Void filled.

Digg isn't losing to Reddit, the market for that kind of site is shattering into millions of tiny little peices. Hacker News is one of those tiny little pieces. Stack Overflow is another.

"An Apple II was originally priced at $1300. Do computers now cost $13?"

There is a hard limit in price set by a few things such as the cost of raw materials that go into any piece of tech, but other than that, you may consider that we have "computers" (well, devices actually) priced around $13 at par with or surpassing many capabilities of Apple II.

So then what is the point of doing it via NFT? If all value is tied to the behaviour of a single central counterparty, the use of NFT is utterly redundant.

I understand this may come as a shock, but the entire point of blockchains is to solve a specific detail in the original Bitcoin design - mutual agreement on the content of a distributed linearized log in the absence of any authority. For almost every application where centralization (indirect or otherwise) continues to exist, they are deeply inefficient from a technical perspective and suffer from deep usability issues from a user perspective. So you end up with the majority of the userbase thinking they're "doing blockchain" but their only experience of it is some centralized eBay for JPEG clone site who also happen to be managing their wallet, in order to trade tokens tied to an asset (in this case) dependent on the future viability of yet another central counterparty (the game producer). This is called snake oil.

Where is the value?
> Some people making those comments worked for Red Hat / IBM, Ansible is heavily backed by that.

Okay, so, I don't mean to pick on you here, but I've seen this sentiment cropping up a few times. Not everyone can be familiar with everything, but I would caution you against immediately assuming corporate politics are at the root here.

Anyone familiar with Alex Gaynor and his work over the last few years would know that he cares about Python, and memory safety. That has remained consistent regardless of his employer. Immediately assuming that this has something to do with company politics, rather than just a tireless open source contributor working to improve the things that he cares about, for years, is making a bit of a category error, in my opinion.

It isn't laziness. They go out of their way to prevent it.
> I think it is an equivalent example that if no business was responsible for the risk of accepting bad notes, convenience stores would have a policy of not investigating and actively hindering prosecution on obviously counterfeit notes.

That's not how the incentives align. If Visa is responsible for eating fees from fraudulent charges, they're going to start removing vendors with higher than usual fraud charges from the network. Businesses will still have an incentive not to allow fraud, because they won't be able to process credit cards otherwise. This already exists for chargebacks, and businesses hate them because too many chargebacks increases the percentage the processor takes.

Counterfeit notes are different. There is no information asymmetry. What makes a dollar bill a dollar bill is widely published, so validating the authenticity of one is rather easy. There are tons of companies that make machines that will tell you if your dollar is real or not.

Credit card charges are different in that there is a huge information asymmetry. Your credit card network knows who you are. They have your address. They have a copy of your usual spending habits. They know who lives in your house. They have a ton of information they can look at to see whether a given charge makes sense. They can add additional security measures.

You know what your merchant knows about you? That you want to buy X, and you're paying with Y credit card. They don't have any meaningful information to make a judgement about whether this purchase is legitimate. I struggle to think of how a merchant legitimately has the option to stop fraud. You can pay one of those anti-fraud sites, but at that point you're really just paying so you can get access to the same information that the credit card processor already has.

Some of the CC processors even already have an anti-fraud service. It sure seems like they're the best poised to offer it, they just want to be able to charge you more for using it and still avoid any liability for fraudulent charges that do occur.

You are probably right about the user experience, but

> with their original vision and use-case intact

This is a difficult point to make in the face of what’s becoming if WhatsApp and Instagram. Certainly, the vision has changed quite a lot and now Facebook is tearing down the last insulating walls between them and WhatsApp users’ data. Same for Nest, for example. Sure, it continued as a brand for a while, but that was just a facade.

Microsoft might be a better case than Facebook for your argument: LinkedIn and GitHub seem to have more or less stayed the same (but then so has Beats, as well, and that certainly is an outlier).
I tried to change the whitespace rules in the PureScript parser to match Haskell recently (to support explicit braces), and it proved to be very difficult. The "L" function which is defined in the Haskell 98 Report depends heavily on an interaction between the lexer and parser, in which a failed parse causes the indenter to behave differently in the lexer. For this reason, I stayed with the simpler rules that we have now, and I plan to support explicit braces in the parser instead.
http://sass-lang.com/

"Sass is the most mature, stable, and powerful professional grade CSS extension language in the world."
Angle brackets cause difficulties during parsing: since there is a '>>' operator, getting a type like 'List<List<int>>' to parse properly would require either a hack in the lexer or requiring a space between closing angle brackets (as in 'List<List<int> >')

This is a well-known problem in C++; some of the parsing rules were changed in C++11: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15785496/c-templates-angl...
> We’ve worked with Amazon Payments from the very beginning of Kickstarter — a year before we launched, in fact. They’ve been an excellent partner, processing $1 billion in pledges. Late last year Amazon decided to discontinue the payments product that we have used.

Killing a payments product that racked up $1bn+ in payments boggles my mind. That is a level of profit to /keep/ a product, come what may.
It looks like Amazon discontinued WebPay (person-to-person payments) in October 2014. Maybe Kickstarter was using that (or an API version of it) to pay the funds from themselves to the project organizers?

Why I don't eat Chipotle: by adding honey, they put sugar in their chicken and beef.
I believe one of the benefits to this is that she won't learn to "phone it in." Why is it considered a skill to accept the status quo? If she is raised in and develops a life that is magnitudes more productive, perhaps she will impart that attribute on the world. Perhaps she'll start a company which doesn't accept the bureaucracy of the world as a necessity.
It's just brutal in Yosemite. This is the first release to which I regret upgrading. I've never had so many issues on my laptop, and it has never been so slow. My FileVault encryption has been stuck at 99% since I upgraded and enabled, and Apple marked my radar report as a duplicate. They can't/won't tell me if I'm forever hooped or if it will ever be fixed. At this point, I'm looking to spend a day rebuilding my whole system.
Its a CSS preprocessor. http://sass-lang.com/

In a nutshell, you write SASS with all sorts of bonus features that CSS doesn't do, and then you compile to CSS.
Your point seems limited to the inclusionist / deletionist discussion.

But you don't address the problems that some good faith editors have with making edits to improve the project.

These problems include over-zealous reverts by people making rapid automatic edits -- sometimes in a misguided attempt to show they "work hard" is a drive for adminship; page ownership and the accusations of bad faith that go with that (BDR fails hard when you have a group owning a page).

Wikipedia has strict socking policies so most experienced editors never try making a new account to edit, but I recommend that any experienced wikipedia edit tries this at least once a year. (And socking is allowed in this case because IAR)
You don't need a transfusion to do this. You just need to work on your blood health.

Excerpt:

“I thought, 'Hey wait, they're sharing blood,'” says Michael. “'This could answer that question we've been asking for years.'” At the end of the presentation, he ran up to Irina and Rando. He had not even finished his pitch before Rando said: “Let's do it.”

It was when I read up on how the body reacts to high altitude that I had my aha! moment that the blood was the common denominator between the gut and lung issues in people with CF. When you go up in altitude, you pee more. Well before you see altitude sickness, the body starts dumping wastes via the kidneys that it can't breathe out due to thin air.
"we've taken care to implement these lifecycle-related subcommands without introducing additional daemons or databases" oh I love you rocket. I mean, I'd be scared to implement that myself (FS based concurrency control always seems hellish), but I guess that's the joy of ACI; I can just use another implementation if you scare me too much.

Reading the signing and verification stuff, the section on "Distributing Images via Meta Discovery" reminded me of my personal dream: bittorrent based distribution. How hard would this be? Seeing as the ACI tarballs seem to be just stored on disk, would it simply be a case of telling my bittorrent client to dump all my ACIs in some folder and then getting rocket to look there? Or is there a need to write some kind of rocket plugin for that kind of thing?
Yeah.

"The circuit is extremely complex", sure, to someone with no basic knowledge about circuits. It's a couple of frequency dividers and BCD drivers.

Not to say I'm not impressed; I would never have the patience to see a project like this through.
I don't see any thunder being stolen here.
> Curious why you think it's OK to try stealing the thunder of CoreOS' announcement?

Because "thunder" isn't a protected resource or asset?
Bitorrent was mentioned in the original blog post as a nice to have feature in the future:

> Image distribution. Discovery of container images should be simple and facilitate a federated namespace, and distributed retrieval. This opens the possibility of alternative protocols, such as BitTorrent, and deployments to private environments without the requirement of a registry.

There is an open issue if you want to help out or follow along: https://github.com/coreos/rocket/issues/405

While this is a perfectly logical statement, there's absolutelty no chance it would reduce the cost of public services in reality. We don't fire government workers, they just get new titles / department names.

If anything the public service costs would increase as new oversight commities and other completely useless entities were created to manage the migration from our current system.
Surely there are other benefits of the masters degree over the small amount of additional annual wage?
A hostel is just like a hotel, except you usually don't get a room (unless you're willing to pony up an extra $20.) You're just looking for a cheap place to stay, but you don't want it to be scary. Hostels generally are not scary at all, and are filled with mostly pleasant foreigners. They used to have rules that require that you have ID proving that you don't live in the town that you're hostelling in, though; don't know if that's changed at all.

Whoops. My advice, wear a rubber. ;)

Really, what kind of advice could someone here possibly give without being in your situation? It's easy to give advice imagining some sort of perfect situation. Personally, I would wait until I could get some sort of confirmation the child is really mine before making any big decisions. If the child isn't yours, then nothing has really changed from what your situation was before (except that your "girlfriend" is going to be getting a bit bigger.)

Otherwise, banging the co-founder seems like a bad idea. Ask Tiger Woods how "gettin' some on the side" can cause headaches for business. And Tiger Woods wasn't even "doing" his co-founder.
It’s out of desperation.

I’m in my late 20s and I’ve seen America in a tailspin for pretty much my entire life. This week it’s culminated in the capitol building being forever disgraced by a mob that was endorsed by the President.

America is already at a place where I’m not considering a future here, and I’m sure a lot of these employees are trying to do _something_ to try to remove whatever it is that is causing these people to lose all sense of reality.
Logged on, unlocked and unattended? That shouldn’t be allowed to happen.
Note that shingled drives are totally fine for many use cases. I bought this 14TB drive to act as a secondary backup for non-critical data, I expect it'll be a write-once-read-rarely kind of situation. Even if it is SMR, it'll be fine for me.

Don't use large SMR drives as OS or software drives, or drives that do a lot of changes when you're above 50% fill capacity on the drive

To frame this a little bit, think of news articles as a git repository. You don't necessarily want to wait until you have every piece of code finished to push it. There is benefit to getting some information out, even if it isn't all the information. As you said, research takes time. Already since the story was published it has an update:

(Updates to add coal’s contributions to the U.S.’s electricity mix in 10th paragraph.)

Harder to research facts and connections can get added over time, like commits in a repository to make the story more complete. It's the difference between operating a business news wire and a magazine.

Overdoses would certainly be reduced by a large extent by legalization.

Not sure that's true. Look at all the deaths due to overdoses of prescription opiates. These drugs are pure, the exact dose, etc and people still take too much and die.
