This is why having a social safety net is so important. If society can put a floor under how badly people can lose, they'll feel more free to try low-probability high-payoff endeavors.
I wouldn't, and haven't, bought anything from Amazon since Amazon facilitates and perpetuates fraud.
This looks interesting and I want to use it. It seems to not be available on melpa, and the installation instructions for linux are missing, though. Are there any instructions for installation on linux that I miss? Apart from the cloning and tinkering that I will inevitably do if there is no easier way.
I understand this, yet recently switched to startpage anyway due to massive captcha fatigue... Startpage will block you occasionally if you search at too high frequency, but it never gives captcha and blocks way way less than google presents captcha. Captcha has gradually rendered Google completely unusable to me due to being stuck on mobile internet or public wifi+VPN... both of which causes continuous captcha unless you allow them to track you... it's basically a ransom - let us track you or no search for you.

I like DDG, but for many things it's still not good enough.
The really messed up thing about this is the tax implications. The doctor gets a write off for his 'losses'; his tax bill it lower.

The patients are subject to paying tax on this as-if it were income (because they received $X of debt cancellation). Their tax bills will go up.
Interesting. I thought gift cards were used by people who lack a supported payment method, and face value was the floor.
So people need to watch all their wallets every 7 days? What if it's a cold storage wallet that is 2of3 signature protected and signatories are in different countries? What if you go on several weeks vacation? What if it's in a vault along with your gold, are you going to walk to the bank every week, open the vault, load the keys, then export them to some other cold storage? What if you have a virus that makes you have to restore large chunks of your infrastructure from backups that takes longer than a week? This is simply ridiculous. What you propose is just not realistic, no one who deals with crypto often will ever think that this is a solution.

> We can even automate the process for you if you trust us enough to give us your wallet keys.

Haha seriously? Your solution is that people give their private keys to the government? You must have no experience with crypto or what it's about it all. Nor really experience with how the government works and how often it gets corrupt. A corrupt clerk now is a small nuissance, a corrupt clerk in your proposed scenario means that thousands of addresses get stolen of all of their tokens. There is zero chance that this scenario will ever be implemented in any meaningful way.
Replying this:

> Please stop blaming Europe's diplomatic failures on external factors

After I clearly stated this:

>> But really, the fact the EU stood quietly next to the US while the US tightened its grip on the world is indeed a failure of the EU [...] They took the easy road of growing in someone else's shade

Is a sign that you did not bother to read, let alone understand my comment. That is terribly disrespectful and a sign that you have no interest in a discussion, just a monologue of meritless opinions.
The US isn't the same, it's just worse as a whole over a longer period. What we've done to South America and the Middle East will impact those areas for decades more. We've got a lot of blood on our hands in the name of democracy, colonialism, and oil futures.

Even more with how our soon to be ex-president pardons convicted war criminals on a whim.
Well you could test it out - ask 3-4 other cofounders if they're interested in doing a daily standup, then see how that works, right?
Your words are true, but think of the news as subjective and a snapshot of time.

The MySpace headline you mention was referring to MySpace's effective killing of it's competitors (Friendster, Orkut, etc). So for that period of time, they did "win". But yes, the race never ends, it's a journey not a destination, and so on.

Some day when my kids have kids, they'll have to explain this antiquity called "Facebook" to glassed-over stares. "That's lame mom, I'll be back, I'm going and check my HolodeckFurrySpace.com page"
It's not really true that you can't disclose your salary after signing a generic NDA, but it's a valid argument to say that it'd be discourteous to do so.
I think the strategic focus of Android is to prevent any vendor from having control of the mobile experience. By providing a free alternative phone makers can use, it creates market fragmentation and no vendor will be able to steer the market in one or other direction.
Please don't do this here. Even if you have a point, the snark does more damage.

Actually, that's not crazy. Ads, social widgets (the Facebook Like button), third party comment boxes, etc. all render in iframes.
Because it's a fun language to play around with. I guess it depends on your definition of productivity.
In addition, this incredibly low inflation happened in an environment with rock bottom interest rates and the fed basically printing money because you can't cut interest rates below 0.

Those moves were supposed to create hyper-inflation and be the reason for You to Buy Gold Now. Actually they barely kept us out of deflation.
No, it wasn't. I added map(str.upper, xxx), now it does.
I didn't know of HTTrack before, I'll check it out and let you know.
It does offer persistent sessions. However, the other nice part of Mosh is how it handles low-quality connections. I can use vim over SSH pretty nicely over 3G or crappy conference WiFi thanks to it.

Hmm, looks like Safari does display the favicon right next to the address bar: http://i.imgur.com/Gj0Wu8h.png

So someone could theoretically use a green padlock icon as the favicon and still trick users.

My gripe is that with favicons missing in the tab bar, it's pretty hard to quickly navigate to the tab I want: http://i.imgur.com/yhStBMj.png
The problem is that some people like AT&T didn't get that, and are telling customers to just "add your own SD card!"
Everybody's different, no solution will work for everyone. Personally, I work MUCH better in open spaces with some background noise, that's what puts me in the zone. If I had to work in a personal office/cubicle/whatever, I wouldn't be productive.
I'm shocked, shocked to see open source Chrome and Firefox closer to the top, while closed source IE and Opera are closer to bottom.
Great idea - I just looked this up - NASDAQ has a nice list in CSV format along with market cap: http://www.nasdaq.com/screening/company-list.aspx
Competitive gaming was an extreme niche 20 years ago. Now its just a niche with lots of people. When these people started, the concept of competitive gaming didnt even really exist.
I couldn't agree more. It also just seems like a continuation of the old story in science where the things that we think are special or magical just aren't.
Not the point of the story, but he didn’t do it though, right? It was probably this? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_1965

This is that weird combination of spam, and completely misleading information.
Most repos are interesting but unmaintained, it appears that author brushes up a repo before posting by commit waves and then present on HN.
For me there are two big contributors to flow (and flow may not be the same for everyone): requirements are very well understood and willingness to code the requirements.

If it's boring or boilerplate it doesn't work. Otherwise, some kind of flow normally happens. I believe you require some amount of concentration hence the need to not be interrupted, and it has to be a bit challenging to require concentration.

An example would be an interview or college exam: you are pressured and needed to stay focused, yet the time passed very quickly.
Verify my claim yourself. Check the sidebar. It's nearly all adverts for Bitcoin,com products. https://old.reddit.com/r/btc/

/u/memorydealers was formerly the CEO of Bitcoin,com. Now he is in some lesser role.

Most of the mods are employees of Bitcoin,com.

e.g. /u/BitcoinXio, /u/MagmaHindenberg is CTO, etc.

Claiming r/btc is some user-run subreddit is quite literally lying.
I just finished a remote job search. I'm in Los Angeles, and most of the companies I talked to were in SF. I had previously worked remotely for a company in New York (Etsy), and I was honestly really surprised how hostile SF companies were to the idea. I was mostly going through personal connections, so I assume that I was getting the gigantic break of having a solid recommendation that most people can't get. (I feel bad about this, but it is what it is.)

I have been on both sides of remote work, so I totally get that it's not a slam dunk. It works a lot better for companies that have a strong culture established in a home base, and it works a lot better for experienced folks than green college hires. I have shut down the interview process myself when I felt like working remotely wouldn't work out at particular companies.

Even given all of that, I was pretty amazed how quickly some of the conversations got shut down. No remotes, we don't care who you are or what your experience is. I didn't talk to any companies outside of SF that were that quick to say no.

FWIW I landed at Stripe, which in fairness is probably one of the companies pg had in mind when writing his original article. I agree with the spirit of this, and I also don't really agree with a lot of things in pg's essay. But the particulars here might be totally wrong. At least one company in his network is really remote friendly.
I'm wholly in support of Google here. Apple has a history of letting known vulnerabilities persist for years (ie, http://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/11/apple-took-3-years-to-fix...) without fixes.
Well, it's a great way of finding out what people really think about you. Obviously, this cannot work on a large scale, because a lot of what society does is making sure that people NEVER find out what they think about each other.
Do people not read The Mythical Man Month anymore?

I think that keycloak is based on JBoss, which is GPL? Hence I am not sure that you want it for commercial projects. But I might be wrong.
how do you know it was leaked? got spam?
This really hits home for me. I didn't even recognize this tendency in myself for years, until my now wife pointed it out to me.

One thing that's really helped me is to periodically sit down with a piece of paper in a quiet room and answer the question: "what am I ignoring right now?"

The stuff I write down _always_ surprises me. Always.
Question - I've managed (bottom-up, servant-leadership, small smart teams) a few very very smart people who may or not have had ADHD, or been partially on a spectrum or ... I truly appreciated the awesome work and have been open and honest and dealt with all sorts of emotional issues and variable progress on simple tasks and diving down rat-holes etc and seen some amazing overall results and had some great co-workers. The area I really struggle with is when people get temporarily obsessed with a topic that is so far removed from the project and its goals, that I can't cover them e.g. they want to completely redevelop an established, adjacent area of expertise (new to them) from scratch. Any advice on how to have this dialog up-front e.g. we have a software project and I'll back you a long way on these areas A B C for good exploratory work, but designing a new compiler or doing a full org redesign or building custom hardware is not something I can back you on so can we agree that at the outset and just trust me, or let's agree a protocol for how to deal with these situations?
Language researchers will definitely have use for it.
> You don't even need to waste time on college

Well that completely depends on where you live, and the culture there.

You could be a rock-star 10x dev in every sense of the word, but certain places in the world, if you don't have a degree or decades of industry experience, you will almost certainly never even get an interview.

You will need to seek out, and network your way into positions where you can actually impress some human being, and not get stonewalled by resume-screening software.

For every whizkid without a degree that managed to finesse their way into some hot startup or Big N company, there are likely ten that are wasting their talents on some irrelevant dead-end job doing data entry or whatever.
If you "just set the tax rate 20% higher" to make up for it, it will result in honest people picking up the slack for dishonest people. Obviously, this would not be the outcome we want.
Jinja is just as bad. They’re both a pain to extend.

I believe firmly in separation of concerns but I have never understood the stubborn stance that there should be little to no logic inside of the template layer.

ERB does it right. I have seen some heinous things there, don't get me wrong, but the freedom to use any part of Ruby is incredible.

Nothing worse than when a client is hoping for a 1 hour fix on a really benign and silly bug - only to find that you'll need most of that time to whip up a custom template filter or tag, jumping through hoops to do all that.
Trump also specifically said that he loves the insurgents that have occupied the nation's capitol. So a mixed message at best.
It is quite light. You should have seen the first version (even lighter!) The idea is to let people's cards shine and do all the talking and have the UI be as minimal as possible. I'll keep refining as I get more feedback. Let me know if you have any ideas on what you'd like more.
You know, I get the funny feeling that some of my fellow atheists believe that if we got rid of "freedom of religion", it'd only be those crazy religionists who'd be affected or restricted, while we could gloat on the sidelines.

Considering that those of us in the US had to have a Supreme Court case to protect us from being forced to take part in group prayers in school, the far more likely case is that without a protected freedom of religion, the majority merrily pushes around various minorities on a religious basis.

Look at how poorly Muslims poll and how they're demonized by many in the US - and then recall that polls say Americans regard atheists even more negatively.

(And no, Canada is no utopia devoid of religious bullying.)
I agree. I'm a UTCS grad that was hell-bent on getting involved in startups, but there simply weren't many options at the time ('08). The reasons I witnessed are the following:

* Austin is no longer an entrepreneurial town.

* The 10% rules hurts the entrepreneurial spirit.

* Geographic isolation hurts the entrepreneurial spirit.

* Little emphasis on consumer companies.

* No network effect.

* No virtuous cycle.

There is also significant cost to society when large companies don't fail, just from their dominant position. Monopoly (and monopsony) is arguably a market failure, and oligopoly or other near-monopoly thus at least a serious market distortion.
Not sure what THAT video is "showing", but let's look at the actual speech...

and it's had a tremendous impact that we got rid of catch and release we got rid of all of the stuff that we had to live with but now the caravans they think biden's getting in the caravans are forming again they want to come in again and rip off our country can't let it happen as this enormous crowd shows we have truth and justice on our side we have a deep and enduring love for america in our hearts we love our country we have overwhelming pride in this great country and we have it deep in our souls together we are determined to defend and preserve government of the people by the people and for the people our brightest days are before us our greatest achievements still wait i think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until i came along had any idea how corrupt our elections were and again most people would stand there at nine o'clock in the evening and say i want to thank
you very much and they go off to some other life but i said something's wrong here something's really wrong can't have happened and we fight we fight like hell and if you don't fight like hell you're not gonna have a country anymore our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun my fellow americans for our movement for our children and for our beloved country and i say this despite all that's happened the best is yet to come so we're going to we're going to walk down pennsylvania avenue i love pennsylvania and we're going to the capitol and we're going to try and give the democrats are hopeless they're never voting for anything not even one vote but we're going to try and give our republicans the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help we're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country so let's walk down pennsylvania avenue i want to thank you all god bless you and god bless america thank you all for being here this is incredible thank you very much

Just because you don't like censorship doesn't make its use less ethical.

Censoring porn and spam from /r/HackerNews is not only effective, its ethical. Its the only way effective discourse can take place on this website.

------

Lets turn this around. What's YOUR solution to porn and spam on discussion sites? Do you want that sort of stuff to just overrun this webiste?

You're talking in one of the most heavily moderated websites on the internet right now. Discussion is supposed to lean towards technical talk alone.
Why would they wait until January? Cold weather starts in Nov at the latest.
Users hate being bothered and hate taking surveys. Qualitative research isn't scientific anyway.
I'd be interested to know what you envisage this hypothetical high-budget non-crap AO-rated console game as actually being like. Because my main problem with this discussion is that I can't imagine a video game that incorporates explicit sex without it being... well, just a particularly embarrassing form of porn.
I note that you're acknowledge the future possibility, and discuss the present. I just wanted to record these thoughts:

To recap disruption: A new technology appears that isn't as good for the users of the incumbent technology, but it has different qualities which appear to other users. Over time, both approaches improve. But a curious thing happens: the incumbent technology overshoots the needs of its users, and the new technology becomes good enough... yet also has those other qualities.

I think it's inevitable for PCs to get smaller, and the phone form-factor seems to have traction (making parts available, establishing standards etc). Of course, it might not be an actual phone, but just borrow the same technologies. It's also possible for wireless docking (to monitor and keyboard). Of course, you might have two monitors (one for relaxing, one for work), as most people do these days.

Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it is.
My point is that it's unclear to whom the land belongs. By saying that Israel 'occupies' the region it seems like you've already decided.

Jews, Christians and Muslims all have their roots in the region. I believe they should all be able to live there, with a government that respects all faiths. For devout Christians and Jews, it's very difficult to live in Middle Eastern countries other than Israel.

Furthermore, you seem to use the term 'palestinian' as meaning a people originating in the region but different from Middle Eastern Jews and Christians. In reality, to be Palestinian is to have genetic roots in the Levant, it has nothing to do with religion. Many Jews and Orthodox Christians are Palestinians too.

If they have competitors, their competitors are 100% certain to be aware of them. And the fact that they're hiring might be interesting to a competitor, but not really actionable in any way. So why stealth?
If the ad in question is the w11 yc social network, the growth and traffic already acquired makes it not really stealthy, right?
If drivers got the same training and stuck to the same rules as airline pilots, we'd have a lot less accidents. Most accidents [citation needed] are still caused by reckless driving; inattentiveness (exacerbated by driving assistance), speeding, drunk driving, aggressive driving, etc.

Moving to automatic driving will probably be a thing long term, but for the short term, it's a human problem. If only people were held more accountable for driving badly.
