"Overall, since invention of Fed, dollar lost like 97% of its purchasing power (meaning, all that purchasing power was relocated to those who are friends with the Fed)."

Please open a book and learn how compounding works. There are no "shenanigans" here, rather, widespread consensus that 2% inflation year on year is quite healthy, in spite of your disingenuous attempt to overdramatize it.
This has very little to do with hacking. Sure there was a hack, but I get the impression she could have dealt with that if it would have ended there. The results would have been the same if it would have been the more stereotypical "revenge porn".

What got to her were the thousands of men who continued to download, share and comment on the pictures.
All developed countries (excluding the US) share similarities, that when painting with a broad brush, can be called the same.

Namely:

People pay taxes that pay for healthcare for every single citizen. No person is without care. (end of comparison).

(You can tell people it's exactly the same as how they pay for Elementary and High School, how they pay for police and firemen, etc. etc.)

EDIT: Implied in my broad statement is No person pays out of pocket for care, other than the original taxes.
If a package is stable or not has nothing to do with AUR.

I used it for years for CLI apps like ranger and dmenu that eventually moved into the the community repo.

Only way (Besides compiling it yourself) to get many programs to work like CrashPlan.
This appears to be free. ST is free but makes me feel bad about not paying for it every few saves.
looking forward to b a linux build
Since you probably know, why do liberals / progressives / whatever seem to hate on what essentially amounts to an opt-in currency that is not legally backed and regulated? Is it only because people propose that it replace legal tender? Does opposition decrease when you view it only as an alternative? Is it because you associate it with libertarians, who tend to rustle jimmies on the internet?

I'm genuinely curious, as I fail to see anything wrong with keeping the big social experiment running.

> To me it sounds like you never had a long-term plan for the treatment or your own future. You jumped in, blew your savings, and now you're stuck.

I'm 22, young; my future is good. For what it's worth, the way I see it is that everyone I would have graduated college with (I only did a semester), is now in massive amounts of debt. I'm just starting from near-zero (-$6k).

> I've heard of PTSD from rape or war, but this is totally new to me. What happened?

Snowstorm, lost traction. Ended up under a semi and was dragged under. The supporting beams of the trailer (which were perpendicular to my windshield) came through it and nearly put my face off.

> That sounds very strange to me. If my family was in need, I personally would jump on a first job with a stable paycheck that I could get so I could (slowly but surely) provide money. This seems like poor timing to bet on a lottery ticket (which, as HN reminds us, most startups are).

It is, and you're absolutely right. I wasn't expecting to not get a check, and I wasn't expecting to <completely> clear out my savings.
You've been playing with it? How did you get your hands on a copy?
Look at Axe Battler 2 - if the sword isn't vertical, then the result is not superior. Unless, of course, you think the guy is wielding a sawtooth blade.

Not to mention that muscles have a smoothly-graded tone under the 'ours' algorithm, whereas hq4x has an unlifelike blocky effect.
monodevelop is not really supported. i would try compiling the latest mlnodevelop and see if there is a fork of the nancy templates.

you can work around that issue if you make an empty asp.net project and then use nuget to install-package nancy.hosting.aspnet

at least i think so, i haven't been doing .net in a while
To clarify further, I could call my landlord a terrorist because he'll come banging on my door if I don't pay him on time. That induces fear, yet I think we can all agree my landlord is not a terrorist for wanting to collect his rent.

"Terrorism" is a laughably flexible term that could be used to fit just about anything given the right wording.

If you have to resort to calling someone a terrorist in order to get me on your side, you've failed to state why I should agree with you without resorting to FUD.
Problem is, even if you succeed and end up with a fabricated picture that fools human neural nets into believing it's a picture of a panda, how would you tell it's not really a picture of a panda?

You'd need another classifier to tell you "nope it's actually just random noise and shapes" ... hm.
oh god, what happens if someone adds the vim repo to vundle?

Please don't do it, the space time continuum will collapse.

Are you saying 15 votes isn't a lot? Also 100% of 2 comments is still 100% of the comments.
2C-B was enjoyable but seriously lacks introspection from my experience. It felt like "psychedelic-lite" where the visual effects are quite pronounced... but that's about it

LSD is a different ballgame from the 2C family IMO, its difficult to compare. From my experience (again this is quite subjective) the visuals from LSD weren't as "thick" and deeply colorful. They had a sort of whispyness to them and (usually) a much deeper headspace
Honestly I am not sure how you can't tell the difference between moissanite and diamond. It's pretty obvious. It's much harder to distinguish diamond and CZ.
I've only experienced bugs in the early days where you couldn't precisely select a character with the mouse and everything else I've experienced is usually third-party plugins. At least Atom does a great job identifying with plugins are causing issues and collects deprecations and exceptions, and those can be reported by one click. That's why I think Atom brings unique solutions to common problems and, yes, it's a bit slower, but if it becomes popular, maybe it can get a native renderer - who knows. It's too early to predict its fate! So far, given it's infancy age, I think it's done a great job!
You could add "acquire and turn minimally viable products into world-spanning domination, look no further than Touchstream"

Apple has required 1024x1024 icons for all apps in the App Store since 2012:

So it's not that baffling.
"It would make a big difference to the web, especially for static but commonly downloaded data."

Static but commonly downloaded data is already cached. For downloading software packages, or differential sofware updates (e.g. initializing the dictionary with previously downloaded elements), it would make a lot of sense (basically, the things that are already being done with LZMA getting extra speed).

It will take time to get LZHAM as stable as LZMA. It looks promising, anyway.
Cool! We open-sourced a complementary project at Snowplow a while back: https://github.com/snowplow/scala-forex/
It's one of those weird philosophical questions. The sad part is, there's no possible empirical answer--transferring my memories to a robot, the robot would believe it was me and any test you could possibly devise would confirm that the robot was me, but regarding my subjective experience inside this soggy bag of meat, who knows whether that continues inside the robot or just ends?

EDIT: Useful thought experiment from philosophy, devised during the time Ronald Reagan was still alive. Suppose someone told you that they would take you, erase your memories from your brain, upload Ronald Reagan's memories, and then torture the inhabitant of your body. How willing are you to say, "go ahead! You'll just be torturing Ronald Reagan, not me!"? Personally, I'm not so willing.
As always I am more than happy to answer any questions. Although in this case the credit really has to go to Ilya Grigorik and Mike Perham.
That mean includes everyone that isn't applying to the math department at Harvard. What do you think the mean is among their applicants?
My girlfriend set up an informational interview for me in December 2007 with my future boss. I was not shy about saying I was willing to take a job, but wasn't pushing too hard or selling. We just had a straight conversation and by February 2008 I met some others within the company and started in March 2008.
> There is something different this time.

There always is. And then, abruptly, there isn’t anymore.
Indeed. The way society regulates behaviors these days is to pressure people to cut ties with someone labeled "bad" or be labeled "bad" along with that person (and jeopardize your own ties). You might be forced to denounce a good friend or your own spouse in order to keep a job.

I hope that when the mob comes for me or someone I care about, I'll be brave enough to tell them exactly what to do with their pitchforks.
Amp built in without the normal way to remove it from the url and get a normal page!? No thank you, not worth viewing then. When did the independent start doing that?
What could Facebook possibly do that would harm Apple more than it would harm Facebook?
Having followed SSC for a number of years in the mid-2010s, I eventually just started drifting away. The so-called Grey Tribe is really just toxicity that's managed to talk itself into self-unawareness. Case in point, quoted from the article:

> The main reason computer scientists, mathematicians and other groups were predominantly male was not that the industries were sexist, he argued, but that women were simply less interested in joining.

This is exactly the sort of thing you manage to convince yourself of when you don't want to be a part of the people calling themselves the good guys, but also don't want to throw in with the sorts of people comfortable with being called the bad guys. Everybody in the Blue Tribe is going to precisely see the toxic nature of this statement. Women aren't interested in joining because of the sexist nature of the industries. Reversing the order of the causation is making excuses for sexism and is itself sexist.

The New York Times does not have to explain this to its audience. They already know. All they really have to do is list the cavalcade of toxicity that the community produced and everybody who has been in the Blue Tribe for years will know the score, and people like me who were actually a part of it and drifted away from the Grey Tribe to join the Blue Tribe are nodding their heads.

Now, this is Hacker News, this community is very close to the SSC one, so I know a lot of people aren't going to take this well. But the Grey Tribe really isn't a nice place to be, and the sooner you can realize this, the sooner you can find actual political heft in the world.

Contrarian logic sucks. Rationalism isn't all it's cracked up to be. It sucks all the life out of the air for minorities. When you state a contrarian opinion like it's fact, like it should be considered because you're the one saying it, and the reason you're stating it is none other than you don't like all those nasty SJWs, you're denying the lived experience of all the people out there who spent their lives being one of those oppressed minorities. All of those girls who hide their gender from their gaming pals. All those Black Americans who discover that the tech landscape doesn't reward knowledge and talent as much as it does the right race and skin color.

It may be a little better in the tech industry than it might be, say, in the construction industry, but to pretend these things don't exist or aren't as important as what your mind sees as bigger is, well, toxic. And it's the cornerstone of the Grey Tribe mindset.
Maybe credit-based loans are the problem.

What are the alternatives?
> there are people out there who are busy changing the world

It's kind of interesting to me to see the Apple bullshit propaganda being repeated on HN so many times.

Tell me, do you have root access to your phone and are your binaries created from reproducible builds? Otherwise it is marketing wank.
Just sharing my experience, to each his own.
Archive.org does a very good job in keeping recent history. I love that they have a movie/film collection: https://archive.org/details/feature_films
Apparently companies tried that and the consumers didn't like it even though prices were comparable or actually better.

It has been established as a norm annoyingly to those who would rather not have the noise.
You're not a fan of them but you'll gladly pay them your money? Sounds like righteous hypocrisy to me.

I'm not a fan of them and I've never paid them any money, neither one. They are scum bags.

How will the world improve if you reward what you don't like?
Yep. I can already imagine The Guardian titles:

- Disgusting new dating app literally puts a price on woman. When will woman objectification stop?

- In this racist dating app it costs more to message white woman than black woman.

It will be a disaster, and the author will lose his job.
A nicer UI trick would be to change how Windows Task Manager reports CPU usage on the "Details" tab, because with, e.g., 64 virtual cores, single-threaded process CPU utilization can only ever be 00, 01, or (assuming the display rounds up) 02, because the displayed value is

sum of core % utilization
-------------------------
number of cores

In a system with hundreds of cores, (predominantly) single-threaded processes' CPU utilization will therefore appear to be identically zero.

The "Processes" tab improves on this slightly by adding a single decimal digit, but this display still becomes less and less useful as core count increases because its precision remains inversely proportional to the number of (virtual) cores in the system.
What are you doing in office apps where speed is an issue?
That would go well in india ><
If this was a real thing, I'd say building bridges/roads above the city would be the only viable (yet extremely difficult) solution. Maybe underground in some places. Would look pretty dystopian probably
You don't need to, but it's a nice side effect for people who don't know what a firewall is.

I'd wager most home networks are protected only by the fact that they use NAT. ISPs are getting better about shipping routers with firewalls on by default, but it's still not there.
Most home routers that support ipv6 still act as firewall.
When I wrote "could and should have provided global leadership," I was referring to an alternate reality where my country elected Hillary Clinton.
> some artificial anti free market regulations on renewable.

fossil fuels have these as well.
as well there are regulations and limits on renewables.

It is true though that these things make it hard to measure the true cost. Additionally externalities add to the true cost of things. What pollution is created when building a solar panel? What is it's cost? What is the cost of coal pollution? Both mining it and burning it?
I doubt that Coca-Cola, Gatorade, and McDonald's would he the ones on the losing side of this. Their products are already everywhere. It's hard not to see them in a city, especially Coca-Cola.
In South Korea they were a bit overused I think. In addition to hand washing reminders, each phone is getting up to 2 loud but not-really-quite-actionable alerts per day, which report on 2–3 new cases discovered in nearby city districts.

(But then the government uses the same alerts to notify about strong winds and elevated pollution levels, so it’s more or less a given.)

The ones from yesterday were the first to ask people to limit their mobility.
Eh, give the people who say that stuff a break. Whether they understand or not that that's what they're doing, it's still nice of them to tell everyone up front that they aren't to be trusted in a dangerous situation.
Ive always found it curious that in Massachusetts I-90 connects directly to Boston (biggest city) and Springfield (3rd biggest city) but bypasses Worcester (2nd biggest city) on its way to Springfield.

The legend is the powerful Worcester industrialists at the time lobbied to have the road run south of the city so workers wouldn't be able to leave for the suburbs as easily. Not sure if that's true, but that's the best reason I've ever been given.
Lots of online mod players

Here's the first one I found

Consumers may also get ads for things they were going to buy anyway or have already bought.

The problem, as I see it, is not businesses advertising stuff to you as a consumer. More, an ad-industry based on claiming attribution for the stuff you did buy because you just happened to click on an ad at some point in time.
I think you've hit on the most important question. The definitions and compliance guidelines sound like thorny issues. Companies, individuals, and the government will all twist any reasonable, "gray" interpretations of the bill to their favor. Maybe a bill with definitions and protections similar to HIPAA, but less strict? However, the strict compliance and penalties of a bill like HIPAA might be one of the main reasons companies work so hard to comply with it.
In my case, it was simply a matter of coming to grips with the fact I wasn't lazy, I just had adult ADHD. After realizing that and having a proper diagnostic, things got far easier for me to cope. Of course, I'm well aware it's something that not everybody will have and some people are genuinely lazy without any underlying mental condition, but it's something to be aware of and it's best to screen for it before attempting any drastic lifestyle changes.
Google, in other words, isn’t making us stupid — it’s exercising the very mental muscles that make us smarter. *Larry & Sergey will love that!
>Not necessarily true, especially if you are using a language with type-inference or you are able to encode your logic in types.

I agree that it is not necessarily true, but the languages which manage to squeeze in static typing and still end up with programs that are shorter and sweeter than python's are all fairly niche right now, which carries its own set of problems.

>Additionally - what do you think unit tests are? They aren't additional code you have to write?

Never denied it for a second. There aren't any languages which don't require unit testing though, and there probably never will be. Let's not pretend otherwise.

>I'm not someone who thinks types completely reduce the need for testing, but I absolutely do not get why dynamic language fans are like "Uhg, I HATE having to write types", but then end up basically reimplementing a type system in a much more verbose testing framework.

I've never done this.

I'd wager that the amount of code I have to write, including tests, is less than in all other practical languages. Often much less. That is very valuable.
This is common in many languages. The other similar example being to learn -> to teach. I always hear foreigners (including me, Croatian) messing those up.
Not familiar with react and barely JavaScript, but why is <a onClick="function('value')"> bad? I mean as longs as the function calls a function on another module and doesn't contain any more logic than that. The other module remains testable, and the only logic in the UI is a function call.
If the interface of the module changes, sure the UI would have to change, but I tend to think people over think things at this point (my opinion and I hope it doesn't distract from my original question).
PyPy also has a GIL. Their proposal to get rid of it (PyPy STM) is far from being ready for production and comes with a pretty important overhead: http://pypy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/stm.html#introduction

(but it's a really promising project that all Python developers should follow!)
The struggle is real. I've had the fairly unique experience of being an executive (VP Eng) of a 50 person software startup where I was the only man on the executive team (CEO, COO, and CFO were women) for a period of several months, and where the male to female ratio on the exec team never skewed to a male majority.

Despite the CEO and COO being strong and supremely capable (COO in particular was a tremendous mentor to me) industry veterans, questions were often directed to me that would have been more appropriate for them to answer, or the makeup of the team would be treated as a bit of a novelty or curiosity.

On the positive side, having strong female representation in the management group did wonders for recruiting, and through no particular plan or design, I ended up with the most diverse Engineering org I've ever been a part of. Lack of bro culture and clear demonstration that there was no glass ceiling were huge weapons in the hiring arsenal.
What are you saying?

We should continue to make decisions based on the pretend mortality rate and ignore the true one?

Of course we "want to know it."
Loom is really awesome, though it is focused on exhaustive testing, so not suitable for code that has a lot of possible interleavings (e.g. due to a ton of threads, or a large body of code).

There is a new project out of AWS called Shuttle [1] which is like Loom, but it does random exploration instead of exhaustive exploration, which enables massively distributed testing of really complicated stuff.

it's still a cesspool of crap. with some decent beginner tech tutorials on there from time to time.
While this might be a tangent to your larger point, I personally struggle when arguing about housing in California, in particular. Yes, supply might be low and more aggressive construction could do wonders for more affordable pricing, I have no disagreement with that. (And as a low-income retail worker in SoCal, I would certainly welcome that relief!)

But at the same time, I see basic limits in our water supply, and less absolute constraints in the crowding around a handful of urban hubs, and wonder if more housing is truly a good idea, or if we might already be near the practical limits on capacity for the geography/hydrology and geometry we're working with.
If you are the one paying the electricity bills for that datacenter, then yes, it probably matters to you a lot. If you are just renting a server from aws or gcp, it probably matters less. Although, I assume costs born from idle inefficiency will probably be passed to the customer...
I agree - a bit odd, but not totally implausible. Chains of transmission do break for odd reasons.
