You are surprised because you equate two things that are qualitatively different.

Some people advocating for arresting someone for something they did, even if it is way too crazy is quite different than tools that enable discrimination based on an opinion. Remember these people are just supporting RMS, not advocating for slavery or exterminating the Jews (and even then I don't know whether you could support such a thing).

Just take a look at the "yellow badge" [1], the Jewish insignia that Nazis made Jews wear to distinguish them. This extension has far more many similarities with this example than with what you compare it to.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_badge?wprov=sfla1

Also, your link is broken. And please before you speak of "hypocrisy" and "cognitive dissonance" think of the matter at hand a bit more. Your comparing these two issues is so obviously wrong it's not even funny.
I accept what you're saying, and thank you for this observation. I always find it interesting to hear different perspectives.

That being said, I don't believe you ;-) (I say this with affection). You'd be surprised what people are capable of doing if economic needs require them to do it. People will do every cleaning job they can get or wait tables if it means they won't starve to death or get closer to their dream job as an movie star...

I've often thought about this and I would encourage others to try and adopt this mindset: There are always jobs you can do, even very menial ones, if you really need the money (and no, I don't mean prostitution). But knowing that you always have options, can and will help you a lot, especially when times get tough.

It means you will never have to give up, even if you're desperate. You will never have to put up with being abused by your boss for years. You will never have to starve. If you scrub enough toilets (or do the equivalent developer job) to make enough money to buy a suit and travel to another city and try something new, well, you can do it. I think this is pretty central to the American dream, actually. Nobody's saying it's easy. But you absolutely CAN if you really have to!
Not surprised. You can't even visit HN from China without using VPN. I guess there must be some pressure not revealed in the announcement.
Work on "fundamental" issues takes time and no one has stopped working on education.

But in the current environment noise and distraction is incentivized and amplified and that makes things like education even more complicated and time consuming.
Of course there are many differences between a train and a car.

But the technology is exactly the same: apply an electrical load to a motor/generator and it will generate a braking force. The source of the load doesn’t really make a difference as long as it meets implementation requirements.

(Perhaps maybe the most ironic way they could dump excess electricity could be by running the onboard air compressor — literally the same thing an ICE vehicle does to dump energy when engine braking: compressing air.)

My point is that the technology is definitely a good fit for braking large loads.
I'm thinking the rural/agricultural market might be quite a factor - I was pretty excited about the pneumatic option, if it can work as a small tractor that needs fewer repairs and recharges for pennies, it could catch on no matter what people think of the aesthetic.
Or just stuck it on a cop car.
I guess for pedestrian impacts it does not matter what the frame is build from. It's the shell. Because if you (as pedestrian) already went through the aluminum shell, chances are you are already pretty much done :(
It takes a certain amount of myopia to reduce the work of an acclaimed author of 60 years to just whatever her position on your favourite President is.
> definitely not a genuinely rugged and practical vehicle

Why would you say that? I think its ugly but maybe if all trucks looked this way we'd think the current ones are the ugly ones.

I'd say it looks like this BECAUSE it's rugged and practical.

Better for the environment too.
In sum, he never saw programming as work. Graham wrote that if you feel that what you do is not "work", then it indicates that what you do is a good career choice. But Morris says that even if someone explained it to him, he wouldn't have been able to grasp it back then. It took him a long time to realize that programming was more important to him than math, because of social pressure.
My main problem with teaching CS courses in Java was that it produces folks who have no clue about pointers or memory management in general. This however applies to Python and Haskell as well. I personally had a strange mix of Java, x86 assembly and Ruby in my curriculum.
Oh! I lost track of it.
There's a lot of Traffic on the server at the moment. Do try again later.
Sorry if I came on a bit strong ; it was serious disappointment on my side as Haskell hacker and user of Mathematica for my Master almost 20 years ago. Of course yourr work is valued by me and many others and I will try to to work on the iPython interface myself as well as writing the above I thought; why not.

I would definitely say that the smoothness of the Mathematica interface, the way it works and interacts currently would be a great thing for programming languages like Haskell. It's just clumsy the way it is now and this is not something you can help but it needs fixing. Let's discuss further somewhere!
Scoring free rent and food sounds like almost as much work as the startup itself.

I guess if you're in a college town, you could just pretend to be a student and attend student club meetings for the free pizza. I don't know how to handle the rent. You could always seduce girls, I guess. But that seems time consuming. And if you can score free food and seduce girls already, maybe your youth would be better spent that way rather than in a startup?

I think this is the first time I have seen an (almost, I know, not complete) dupe on the front page.
That’s an absurd comparison. Generating mathematical conjectures and then proving them takes decades of preparation and careful study and analysis of a difficult problem. Generating a movie plot idea at the level Adams is talking about takes, with no preparation, a few minutes and a dinner napkin.

The equivalent kind of “idea” in mathematics might be “I’m going to understand and model heat dispersion in a block of metal”, with the “execution” being developing the underlying machinery (partial differential equations) gathering enough data, and building a model (the heat equation) that fits the data and can be used to compute practical approximations. The “idea” part can be done by anyone; the execution is made up of decades of hard work and hard thought by several of the world’s most famous mathematicians, building on centuries of previous effort.
It's perfect, I'd really appreciate if the code would be available too.
I had the same problem. I disabled my adblocker (ublock) and then it worked. Using latest stable Chrome under up-to-date Ubuntu.
They would have said "weather the storm". To deny would ha e been folly.
They also locked down IT so that no one person had access to everything.
They may also have increased scrutiny of materials they could bring onsite/take offsite.
I feel like some sort of white noise would be rather nifty. Although i don't know if I would count that as music exactly.
"Direct Mail" is a term that usually means physical mail. This is similar enough to cause confusion, and I had to do a second-take on your home page.
You're right, editing the title now.
Experience with 8-bit micros also makes me curse the barriers you often find on modern machines that prevent you from really controlling the video display. Whether it's well-meaning display drivers refusing your custom resolutions to avoid "blowing up" the monitor, problems with bad or partially implemented drivers (in the open-source case, probably due to the video card manufacturer having a proprietary hold on the necessary information), or going through graphics APIs which are only specified to suggest what the hardware should do rather than command it - for example, if you want to avoid tearing you may ask (in some very platform/API/situation-specific way) for vsync, but whether you'll get it is another matter. Yeah whenever I see a monstrously powerful modern system seemingly wheezing and straining to push a few pixels smoothly from one end of the screen to the other it makes me sad.
I'm strongly considering starting this. Any tips? (Feel free to email if you don't want to share publicly.)
It depends on what code you read, though. Think of PHP devs that learn from WordPress, for instance. It's not exactly setting a great example... (Though to their credit, WordPress improved somewhat in recent years.)
I havent tried the grandparent's software, but if I was going to use a native app I would probably try github's first.

https://windows.github.com/
https://mac.github.com/

I have shown the windows version to a few people and they grokked git a lot better than if I tried via the standard toolkit.
Awesome. Here's hoping someone can clean this up and get it building with VS2013. It would be amazing to have a Windows-native free/OSS CL. Neither Allegro or LW are truly free; their "free" tools have pretty limiting restrictions on how they can be used, which mostly just leaves one with SBCL and making do with libraries for anything Windows-based (of which I'm not even sure there are many).
This "hard-wired cease of regeneration/renew" is a nice high-level theory, while attempts to find a single cause (or a single gene) to stop or reverse the process, is, probably, waste of time. There is no single process to be stopped, leave alone reversed. Each major subsystem (if not each major cell type) probably has its own "enough markers". That's why there are so many different causes of "natural" death.
> 95 percent of all patented discoveries from ever being put to use to create new products

Is this really assuming that every patented idea is a good one? Doesn't everyone assume the opposite, that most patented ideas are crap? I'm not surprised to learn that 95% of crappy ideas never turn into new products.

> More than likely, you won’t be able to put it to good use unless you have the multi-million-dollar resources required to launch a startup

How is this worse than starting a business without a patent? I don't think patent law was also supposed to be a guarantee you'd get a small business loan.
Not sure why the interstitial blocking my access to the website about ads and nagging me to disable my ad blocker brought me such joy.
Apple's TOS surrounding this change prevent any sort of content-gating of this sort. Infractions may result in removal from the app store.
I think I might become an Apple fan. Writing this on Android device to be replaced with the new iPhone mini.

Facebook's behavior becomes more and more disgusting with their continued push against privacy and transparency. although I think a 30% cut by apple in app store is too much I prefer apples way of building something users actually want to buy.

There is 0 drawback for users to ask for their consent before tracking them and sharing that data with who knows whom.
The way to eliminate latency with server side state is called optimistic updates.
Except Apple doesn't track you all across the internet at every possible opportunity without you knowing about it.
Sure - I’m not saying nobody needs dongles. I have several usb hubs and dongles attached to my desktop iMac.

I’m just saying that that simply isn’t true for most people.
Well shit isn't it nice that other people who don't like it have a choice now and for you nothing changes.
If anyone from the firefox mobile team is here: please fix the bug where you can't scroll through the tabs when they overflow. Also opening whatsapp links for some reason doesn't open whatsapp but chrome does. This bug and several other nuance things made me go back to chrome mobile which is unfortunate. Especially with the fact that chrome mobile doesn't support plugins.

I am a happy firefox user and the print preview is one of the very few things that made me open chrome backup.
The often-quoted statement 'if you aren't paying, you are the product' is closer to the truth but is actually misleading. As per the book on Surveillance Capitalism, our interactions with Facebook (or Google) are the raw material from which they create their products, which are sold to advertisers, namely the ability to target ads at specific groups of people.
My only issue with 'isomorphism' it it forces me to use javascript on the server. As much as javascript isn't the worst language in the world, I'll never be happy with to live in a world where it's the only language.

After school I would rush home and dial up to my local 4-node BBS and play LORD for hours. One day the Sysop noticed how much I was playing and used a cheat which gave me the very hard to get "blood sword". Good times!
Honestly I feel like this issue is a combination of technology and culture. As our technology has advanced, our perception as a culture has changed because now instant-gratification has become a reality. Not only that but as we move to mobile devices we continue to seek immediate results and companies that previously failed are now succeeding even though they are commodities of one-another. Not to mention your point that consumers are finally becoming more comfortable with doing everything online, compared to previous times.
People want a power-user Meraki for the home that isn't tied to a cloud service. It's really as simple as that. Ubiquiti gave them that until they didn't. And now the inevitable breach has occurred and users are looking for a replacement.

Its pretty simple, having each device individually managed is archaic, a pain in the ass and there is no technical reason why it has to be that way.
If you are very careful, you can introduce some forms of recursion and branching without getting full Turing completeness.
The problem is that you don't own your computer. You can't bypass that with a camera.

Who cares about movie piracy? Copy protection has always been broken and will always be. It isn't a problem.
I understand your company has lots of remote data scientists... Are you hiring? I'd be interested to have a go if it's the case. How can I contact you?
No, you have missed the essence of my post. Technology doesn't pick a side. I'm not arguing against that.

In the relationship between Bitcoin and it's users/developers/miners/nodes there are of course the ideologies of each individual interacting with the protocol (libertarian, anarchist, etc...). Then of course there is the protocol itself. Then you can step back and look at the whole set of individuals each having their own (potentially hostile) philosophies, but still interacting with the protocol in the same way (i.e., they are following the rules) to achieve distributed consensus. How do you categorize that phenomena (embedded was the wrong word choice)? That is the question that I was referring to with the comment "philosophy of Bitcoin."

Now, let's address some points in your post.

>If the developers or miners could freely enact change on the network, then there would be a fuzzy line between the design and the implementation, and you could lay the philosophy on the implementation.

Not one miner is in control? The two largest pools (Discus, ANT) are both located in China. Ghash just shut down it's cloud mining to take back control of the hashing power because of low prices.

Eligius, a pool known for extending the will of Luke Jr. (submits to Bitcoin Core frequently) can change IsStandard to exclude OP_RETURN or Mastercoin transactions or whatever else. That is emergent behavior that is a result of someone's will.

Blockstream has a handful of core devs and many influential minds in the space on their team to work on sidechains. Who knows what that will end up causing? Maybe a split in allegiances and a hard fork? You give Bitcoin more credit then is due. It still requires human input, after all.

edit: we are arguing different points here, let's leave it at that.
During the work week...

04:30 - Alarm, followed by shaving, showering, etc.

06:00 - begin walking to bus stop

07:10 - arrive at bus stop

07:15 - board the bus

08:15 - bus arrives downtown; walk to office

08:30 until 17:00 - work

17:45 - board bus

19:00 - arrive at bus stop

20:00ish - arrive home

When I'm lucky, I can make the 17:15 bus home and shave 10-20 minutes (because Orlando traffic is the worst) off.
I wouldn't presume to say whether you are underpaid or overpaid. But I will tell you this. I started at Google in the a little after the middle of the last decade, with no experience, just a bachelor's degree, not knowing my ass from my elbow. I started at $90k, not including $50-100k of stock and bonus, and was making nearly double that within a couple of years (certainly before five had passed). The fresh grad new hires today make a lot more than I did.

My understanding is that most of the big and medium names in the Bay are offering at least what I started out for people with no experience.

That said, my house cost almost $2M, and it is not a terribly nice house by the standards of anywhere but here. So . . . do with that what you will.
well, my anecdotal experience with a chinese vendor was ok; the device i ordered was as they described it.

Ymmv.
The statement isn't necessarily false. You didn't show how the statement is false.

More time spent staring at a text editor (or even spent pounding on a keyboard) does not mean that you produce more. Maybe if your production metric is characters typed you produce more, but in terms of usable features there is going to be a point of negative returns on time spent.
But this isn't GPS without satellites.

Actually, DARPA are looking for exactly GPS-without-sattelites:

Fine-grained PNT is no longer a luxury for the warfighter; it is absolutely essential. That has turned the sophisticated satellite signals on which PNT depends into potential vulnerabilities. To address this concern, DARPA is developing a family of highly precise and accurate navigation and timing technologies that can function in GPS-denied envi- ronments and enable new cooperative and coherent effects from distributed systems.[1]

It's unclear if this is an upcoming DARPA project or one that is ongoing. I find the DARPA website very hard to navigate unless you already know all the program abbreviations. The IARPA website is much better in that regard.

Edit: The program is at [2]. They are looking to combine inertial sensors with "signals of opportunity".

Complementing DARPA’s Micro-PNT program, which is developing chip-scale inertial sensors that are navigation grade or better, PINS is developing an IMU that uses cold atom interferometry for high-precision navigation without dependence on external fixes for long periods of time. Atom interferometry involves measuring the relative acceleration and rotation of a cloud of atoms within a sensor case, with potentially far greater accuracy than today’s state-of-the-art IMUs.

However, because even long-duration IMUs require an eventual position fix, the ASPN effort is developing sensors that use signals of opportunity, which are non-navigation signals from sources like television, radio and cell towers, and satellites, as well as natural phenomena, such as lightning.

When the demand is more inelastic, as it would be for fuel, the taxes need to be a lot higher to change your demand. I bet you would drive less if the gas tax was 500%.
I quite like DigiKam.
Thank you! That's the main thing I wanted to solve, having a simple site to see available domains and where to best buy them. Glad that's resonating.
Large cities is where jobs are. 90% of the jobs out there are non remote.
It is hard to explain, when JetBrains implements so many deep features (e.g.
actually debugging a Jupyter notebook), that they can't implement a filter to
search only those files managed by git the way that "git grep" does.

As a die-hard fan of all things JetBrains and an "all products pack" subscriber
for a number of years now, I am still unlikely to switch. Performance, deep
functionality, productivity, and uniformity of experience matter.

And I have gradually moved more of my interaction with git from the command
line into JetBrains in order to "keep in the flow". They conveniently give me
"rebase this branch onto that branch" that just does the right thing and lots
of ways to view local and git history that are worth getting good at. I don't
imagine "stgit" will ever be mainstreamed though that would be delicious. :-)

So why the inability to let me filter searches to only managed files?

Take a look at the file browser tab or the file tabs. They have colors to
distinguish managed, modified, or unmanaged files. So they know the status.
And they annoyingly ask me every time in every new project when I create a file
whether I want to add it to git, until I say "don't bother me again in this
project", and I can return to my flow.

For details, see the support issue referenced, but all derived code,
documentation, and generated indices result in garbage matches that you have to
work to exclude by excluding directories, file types, or other hacks. And you
will have to do this over and again with every one of your dozens of repos.

So for now, I have to drop out of the IDE for whatever language I am in and use
the command line to run "git grep pattern.of.interest > t". And of course this
adds more noise in future searches because you haven't told JetBrains to
exclude the temporary file "t" (or wherever you put the output) from searching
in this project...

Fellow devs, is it time to /. this issue?

See you down the road.
> So, if they really care about democratic, secular Turkey, they can put guns aside, get together with opposition in Turkey.

On the flip side, learn the lesson from the iranian revolution. When religious extremists control the government and want to impose their religion on anyone, who holds the guns is the most important questions.

giving them up might be the surrender and death of democratic secular turkey, over time.
