I think the analogy is pretty good. I've used the political example as a way to think about Roko's basilisk without the extropian/singularity mysticism that attaches to the original formulation.

Recast, you could say: At some point within your natural lifetime, a brutal dictator will probably arise in the world (because, let's face it, horrific despotry is a recurring theme in human affairs). Clearly, any such dictator will want to punish people who did not help their rise to power by putting them in torture camps. Therefore, it is your only rational option to seek out the most brutal, repressive tyrant you can find and help them gain power. Any other action would be foolish!

While that sounds kind of absurd, people do act on it. People assume that there will always be a neighborhood bully, a local crime boss, an exploitive employer, and so they try to get on the good side of the inevitable by gravitating to the most ruthless (and therefore most likely to overpower the others).

Hopefully he will eventually share the source code. I showed it to my son who was very interested to see how it was made. We go back and forth between Racket and Lua Love; he thinks Love is easier, but seeing examples of Racket that other kids had made might encourage him to explore it further.

I would love that since Racket is obviously a much better language than Lua for learning, but Love is still a bit more approachable for graphics than Racket's universe library.

> It's certainly nowhere near $5 a bag

Maybe not. It just needs to be high enough to discourage most bag throwing. Maybe that number is $2 instead of $5. Maybe instead of just offering you a bag at the counter and tacking it on to your bill, they make you go to the bag aisle and bring back a bag that you have to consciously buy (it has a barcode and they scan it); so it's a cost in annoyance rather than money.

> taxes and fees for street cleaning and parks aren't anywhere in that ballpark

It's not just street cleaning and parks. You're discounting trash collection, recycling and landfill costs. The costs of the city being less attractive (I don't know if it can be measured, but there certainly is a cost). The cost to wildlife and the oceans. Do all these add up to $5 a bag? I don't know. Would a $<punitive_number>/bag fee eliminate most of these costs? Probably. Could someone more creative than myself come up with even better ideas? Definitely.

I did read it. I have no doubt they care a great deal about the $37B. I don't think they care in the slightest whether anyone likes their fees or feels harmed by them, and I certainly don't believe they're losing sleep over that. No doubt if one fee is regulated away, they'll simply replace it with another as they have many times before. RTFC.

I made rhabdo 2 weeks ago after doing just 80 squats (I haven't exercised my legs for about a year prior). I think it's pretty hard to make it and a pretty rare encounter in the emergency room.
I recommend you to show the wiki page of the rhabdomyolysis at the ER if you think you have it so they won't send you home because you look healthy (I have to thank HN because I read about crossfit and rhabdomyolysis here a few years ago and that's why I searched the Internet when my pee was Coca-Cola coloured 2 days after doing the aquats).

Although it's a diagnostic I'm pretty proud about having, I hope it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me.
Basically all agricultural societies have historically been feudal, with a small minority of nobles, scribes, and clergy; a larger group of soldiers, merchants, and tradesmen; and a mass of peasant farmers (some such societies still persist today). The peasants, whether formally free or slaves, were almost everywhere treated as a disposable resource by the nobles, who stole, raped with abandon, killed on a whim, and believed themselves to be innately superior. For peasants, food was often scarce even in rich lands during prosperous times, and the majority of calories came from staple starches. Winter was hard. Peasants mostly lived in simple poorly insulated houses, cooked over indoor hearths (= much worse air to breathe than heavy cigarette smoking or modern industrial air pollution), lacked modern understanding and infrastructure for sanitation, had poor access to medicine or other healthcare (only healers with knowledge of local plants and religious figures to pray for them), had little if any formal education, etc. etc.

Pre-mechanized agriculture, along with completely decentralized child-rearing, food preparation, hauling water from a well or river, weaving and sewing, house construction, carpentry, etc. just takes an absurdly enormous amount of manual work, and when the local strong-men demand their cut in return for protection, there’s little left over for the peasants.

Life expectancy, health, median material wealth, gender/social equality, &c. were across-the-board dramatically worse in agricultural societies than in hunter/gatherer societies.

It's a bloated mess of a company still trying to "pivot" after its idea of being the credit card middle man never really took off (or took too long and allowed others to catch up, depending on how you see it).

Quora. I'm surprised YC even took them in. It has an overwhelmingly unmonetizeable userbase (primarily in India). It's growing and growing but there's nothing really that can justify the $900mm+ valuation if there's nothing to monetize.

It depends on what you call a modern software engineer. Anyone who can program a small embedded system would probably be OK. People would miss IDEs and online help, the corpus of free software we enjoy today and lots of nice things we have now - IRC, Google, StackOverflow, but, apart from learning to live in a more frugal environment, I see no big difficulty.

i think you're mistaking the original meaning with its definition.
I don't understand the basis of your question. If it's not specifically required then it's legal.

Building permits and trademarks are required to be public. Other records are not required.

Consider corporate ownership. Some US states allows anonymous corporate ownership. (See http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2012/10/09/its-time-to... complaining about such companies.) If it's okay to own a company without that information being public, then why not a domain?

Such companies are used as shell companies. If you want to trademark a name but not have others know that it's you, then start a Nevada LLC, owned by a Delaware LLC, owned by a company registered in the Cayman Islands, owned by you, and have the Nevada company take out the trademark.

Also, the term you want is 'hidden from the public' not 'hidden from the public domain.' "Public domain" applies to, for example, works that were under copyright but are no longer so.
That was the original design intent, since the 808 camera provided all the video recording functions I needed. I thought I would just buy a bunch of cameras and make some carrier boards for them. I was just out of college at the time, and my coworkers recognized my naivety. They suggested I contact the 808 manufacturer for a custom board spin, and that opened my eyes to the world of mass manufacturing in China. To make a long story short, I completely redesigned the product for scale [1] and that's the version I shipped to my backers.

In retrospect, the original version which I presented on Kickstarter would have been a miserable failure of a product. I was lucky to have backers who supported me and provided invaluable feedback through a few months of delays while I finished the redesign.

The legal basis is that there are no stronger requirements as "there has to be somebody listed" made by the registry for the TLD, which is a (more-or-less, depending on the case) private entity and can set those rules, within the ICANN guidelines.

more theoretical: Why shouldn't it be allowed?

Building ownership or IP can also be done "privately" through companies. I bet many people owning domains are thankful that their personal information is NOT so easily accessible, and if there is a strong public need (legal case, prosecution) the intermediaries will hand out the information. Where required they'll also forward messages they are sent.

FWIW, here in Germany it is harder to do so and I don't like it, because it connects my website to myself a bit too easily, and I don't even publish particularly critical stuff.

What need do you have that is more important than the rights of the owner?

A UX reading list
I have sometimes wondered whether it would be useful to have two different types for indices, depending on if we are indexing the elements themselves or the "gaps" between them. Let's say I'm thinking about some language like Haskell, where types are already a big deal.

That way the compiler would be able to tell if I accidentally mixed the two. Every conversion would have to explicit: for example, there might be two functions, "before" and "after", that take a gap index, and return an element index.

I think I might actually enjoy programming this way, but perhaps others would find it needlessly bureaucratic.
Maybe this is partly why Americans have such poor diets? It's no good if healthy food is being deliberately made to taste like shit.
Well the research has shown [too lazy to come up with a citation for that] that it is very beneficial for patients to be well informed and involved in the therapy process - with healthcare professional as an equal partner, not as a "god" in the matters of health. It's called "patient empowerment" and it's a big thing since 1994. And one of the best ways to inform the patient is a decision aid (which is ranging from fliers to IT systems with semantic webs with auto-updating medical evidence sources). This works, because you don't have to an expert on athletes' foot to manage your diabetes well, you just have to be an "expert" of your own case. And that, my friend, is the definition of individual free-thinker.

My data is generations of my own family living in the same place, where I have also lived functionally my whole life, about which I think I'm allowed a little introspection in this casual discussion without having to cite some manner of study you'd approve of.

Whether I'm off the mark about kale or not is far beside the point. The fact is that my great-great-great grandmother and my great-great grandmother and on down to probably no more than a couple of generations ago...none of them would have had reliable or easy access to the kind of fresh food I do today, and they wouldn't have been familiar with the bigger portion of what I can find in practically any grocery store anywhere. It's not about whether or not there was kale growing in East Kentucky.

Yeah, there is a large community of Python users in scientific computing. It's great.

I like well-established languages with a large user base.

So, I was dismayed by Big Data Genomics' ADAM Project's choice of Scala, which has almost no uptake in the genomics/bioinformatics community.

They do it because they run over Spark. But Spark has an excellent Python binding.
Alternative is the idea of "empowered patient": a well-informed patient which has a healthcare professional as a partner instead of an ultimate "expert" authority figure. There's a lot of scientific articles on that idea, and it seems to be working pretty well.

Indeed. I compiled some stuff with ICC, but it did not give me an tangible improvement over the latest GCCs. But for those projects, linear operations were the vast majority.

good clothes make you look like the most interesting man in the world, t-shirt and crocs make you look like a schmuck, become educated & mature & get good fitting clothes

Unless you don't come near many people who think your way, then the look of clothes doesn't mean much. After all, it is a bit superficial and underneath those clothes we ware roughly the same.

Your whole story is based on certain standards you have, which you acquired during the years because of local culture, how you were raised, which people you see and so on. You value clothes and the look of it. That's ok. I value clothes mainly for their function, how long they last, looks of it come second. If it doesn't feel good I simply don't wear it. That's also ok. I also happen to know and frequent mostly people who think that way. Again, due to culture, how I was raised etc. So while in your eyes we might look like a bunch of schmucks, in truth we are no different, we have the same type of jobs and so on.

they express your interest in and knowledge of fine things. Meaning you are smart, you are interesting

Not quite. Just like people who are not well dressed can be smart and interesting, being well dressed doesn't at all epress a one to one relationship with how smart or interesting you are. There are enough people who look well dressed but just because they copied a look from a magazine or because they had someone pick clothes for them. In which case they look the same, but in reality they don't care about how the clothes fit or what they are made of, and they are smart nor interesting.
Yeah :). I was mostly using Slackware Linux at the time, but my brother bought a Corel Linux box at the time. If I remember correctly, it came with an inflatable Tux.

I also had a separate copy of WordPerfect for Linux for a long time. It still worked fine until I sold it on eBay, thanks to libc5 compatibility in most distributions. Even though I stopped using it at some point, I continued to use the Type 1 fonts that came on the CD.
