GitHub repo URL field got me swearing every single time.

Problem is, even when I'm doing as the field expects me to (as if it had a personality) it does not work, because xterm. So sometimes I end up pasting (ctrl+v) it into the URL bar and copying (=selecting) it again, the old fashioned way. :(

More often than not I don't even bother anymore and type the URL myself.

This feels a bit short-sighted to me. Maybe it's just use of terms at the end of the day. Telling a young person to "lean into boredom" is a recipe for disaster. And "thinking" as the antidote to boredom doesn't do much either. There's a quote that always stuck with me I ran into a while back that goes something like: "All day long we tell our children to 'Pay attention!' but we never actually teach them how." The premise of this article, IMO, would be much more valuable if it dovetailed into meditation practices.

It's always been my take that one of the main reasons many of us seek out typically unproductive distractions and noise (phones, TV, gossip, whatever) is to avoid quiet, personal, thinking. In jail, which is presumably the worst environment one could find themselves in, solitary confinement is viewed as a significant punishment for bad behavior. Being alone with your thoughts is worse than being around criminals all day or locked in a cell! I think "lean into your boredom/thoughts" is an empty provocation without training advice (again, meditation is the route I'd take this).

“All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”
As a card-carrying libertarian, I'll have to agree and disagree, which I suppose fits the spirit of the thread.

I arrived at libertarianism through study of the Constitution. I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but compared to the average American, I don't think a comparatively expert status is that hard to come by.

Regardless, reading through the constitution time and again has led me to believe that its founding principle, above all else, is that people ought to be free. The first principle of the constitution is to enshrine the primacy of individual liberty. Knowing that, as a matter of ideology (with all its associated ills), I prefer policies that seek to promote individual liberty vs. curtailing it, wherever possible.

Beyond that, if one is a Constitutionalist, then I believe it gets grayer. I consider myself a big L Libertarian when talking about policy matters at the federal level, but I consider myself more of a democrat when dealing with policy matters at state and local levels, which is (I believe) what the Constitution prescribes.

On the whole, this leads to a general dissatisfaction with everything, because even good policies tend to be applied at the wrong level. As such, I have many "conflicting views" in the broad strokes idea level -- which is to say that I'm against the idea of Obamacare as a matter of principle, but I'd be perfectly fine with 50 Romneycares, even acknowledging that 1 Obamacare would likely be far more cost effective, efficient, and practical than 50 Romneycares.

Having a first principle to rely upon definitely allows for more internal consistency, but it definitely doesn't solve for every x. There are really good arguments for and against abortion, for example, and while I definitely lean pro-choice personally, I couldn't make a case that proved why my belief is superior to somebody else's.
Really great idea! This is one of the first things I've ever seen on here that I think I will actually bookmark and use.

This one is the most annoying to me. For example if I want to use some analytics code but have a plugin or third party (segment.io) that I want to hand off just the "ID" to. If I try to select just the ID as soon as I release the mouse it select the whole thing. I have to copy it all into my note app (nvALT) then select want I want then delete all of it because I have no real desire to save it all as a note. Very irritating.

The primary reason is that keeping the pads just in contact with the rotor prevents water from collecting on the rotor surface. Wet rotors can affect braking performance and safety.
> I really doubt the figure that only 15% of trades were done by algo a year ago. Maybe a few jumbo orders skew it, but by ticket numbers I would think over 80% of trades are on some sort of automation.

I'm inclined to agree with you. The article seems to conflate "algo" and electronic trading, which doesn't help matters. In my experience, the majority of FX trades are just straightforward deals at spot - no algo required. It's only when you've got a really big deal that you want to spread out to avoid moving the market, or where you need to execute at the fixing, that an algo would come into it.

> "A year ago, algo orders placed by fund managers and other investors accounted for no more than 10-15% of total trading volumes.."

To my mind "trading volumes" refers to the amount being traded, rather than the number of trades, so maybe he means that the value of the algo orders amounted to 10-15% of the total value of all trades (e.g. ten algo trades for $5m each vs one voice trade for $500m).

>> 5,000lb towing capacity

Curious as to what happens to the range when you're towing a pair of jetskis.
In car braking systems the pedal movement from depressed to pressed corresponds to a very small (<1mm) pad movement. The pad is just touching when the brake when the pedal is not pressed, and pressing the pedal forces the pad and caliper together, increasing friction. Depressing the pedal does not withdraw the pad.

With the brake cylinder fully compressed (as they did for the test), it requires several full pumps of the pedal to bring the pad into contact with the disk. This increases braking distance, which is generally considered a bad thing.

That is pretty amazing pricing. Most premium families would be looking to the Land Rover Evoque ($41K), BMW X5 ($54K) etc But Tesla is pricing it not to compete with the baseline Porsche Cayenne ($58K) but around the Cayenne Turbo S level ($157K). I guess they aren't planning on building a lot of them.
IIRC the clipboard copy only happens if you first click so it must be user-initiated. Now I'm sure using flash there are other sneaky ways to do it. For example some sights when you select text and copy it will attach the URL of the page your are on at the end of the text which drives me crazy. If I want the URL I'll copy it, until then stay out of my way.

Pretty cool station wagon.
Voter turn-out indicates that information about platforms is passing from politicians to voters, and information about preferences is passing from voters to politicians. Low voter turn-out has tended to co-occur with the managerial turn of politics, in which no party or candidate offers any substantial choice to even the most enthusiastically civic subset of the population.

Essentially, low voter turnout is a correlated symptom of de-facto oligarchy.
I believe it's because pumping filtered air from the outside faster than it can escape from the cabin creates the positive internal pressure.
I've had showdead=yes for a while and haven't seen anything that made me suspect live banning was employed for pleasure by Hacker News moderators. Admittedly, I'm not inside their heads and have only paid attention to a small fraction of dead posts.

One difference between regular banning and live banning is that the banned person is kicked out of the community with a regular ban, but not with a live ban. A live ban mitigates the effects of problematic behaviors on the community while still allowing the person behaving problematically to retain their identity and participate in ways that aren't problematic: i.e. people who are live banned can remain part of the community.

Because the live banned person remains within the community, there is an opportunity for the community to recognize unwarranted live bans based on actual exhibited behavior within the context where it is relevant. Anecdotally, I've seen unwarranted live bans lifted in real time.

I've also seen members of the Hacker News community who have benefited from keeping their identity within the community over an extended period of time while continuing to exhibit problematic behaviors. People may look at that situation and see something different, I see live banning as a highly compassionate way to solve the corner cases that need high levels of compassion.

From a practical standpoint doing regular banning "right" with formal notification, explanation, and appeals processes requires a non-trivial moderator time and energy. If most bans are justified, that means all that energy is wasted on accounts that the owner doesn't value and accounts that the owner values solely as a conduit for argument and/or insult.

Even in cases where the person values their account as an identity within the community, formal processes are an escalation. The most likely proximate cause for needing to limit that type of account is the manner in which disagreement is expressed. Creating a context that threatens identity is unlikely to suddenly produce better behavior in regard to disagreement over a sanction already enforced.

Regular banning is confrontational. One of the ways Hacker News differentiates itself from other sites where people type into boxes is by discouraging that very behavior. Lunch at Cafe Hellban comes at some cost to the community, but I believe it's lower than the alternatives.

> the state it has a certain obligation to protect citizens from their own idiocy.

And who makes that decision? If you look at the track record of the American Government over the past few decades, you'll see it's not them (Yes, you mentioned you're not American. My forthcoming point still applies). What happens when you entertain an idea that the government considers harmful to yourself and others, despite the fact that you have proof you're right and the government is wrong?

Specifically, the FDA still prints and distributes and decrees that public schools teach the food pyramid. The food pyramid is 100% wrong, top to bottom. Saturated fat is good for you as has been proven by dozens of studies and the fact I'm still alive. But, prior to 5 years ago, if you entertained that notion and fed your family a high fat diet, you'd be considered as mentally deranged as the strange, home schooling prepper family who keep to themselves.

I see the stance on saturated fat as no different than the current stance on Vaccination. Whatever you think on the subject, one way or the other, you should be free to do so. Governments aren't nannies. They're more like an abusive nurse who tortures inmates in the mental ward.
This is a very good bet. The "defeat device" turns out to be using a feature of the ECU platform provided by the ECU supplier. It would be surprising to find that VW was the only maker to cheat, when the cheating mechanism was available to everyone.

There are some markets, like voting machines, where requiring open, buildable, verifiable code is good practice. Cars might be another.

This post is silly, just consider its premise reductio ad absurdum. I suppose prisoners in solitary confinement are the most privileged among us. Boredom creates real pain that over long enough time leads to psychological problems. The mind doesn't want to be idle. Kids could take more time to appreciate life away from their smartphones but to make an argument against boredom itself is absurd. Boredom is an incredibly unpleasant experience and there is nothing with wrong with wanting to avoid it.
Someone just realized it would cost them little to implement this feature and it's a why-not that no one else has.

Anecdotally, leaving open for long periods of time causes problems, when that tab tab that includes Flash. Since Flash is fairly prevalent among Web ads, etc., it basically happens all the time.

SUV = obese car. This is an obese car, therefore its a SUV.

There are snarkier ways, like a car is a vehicle where 75% of the seats are empty almost all the time, whereas a SUV is a vehicle where 85% of the seats are empty almost all the time, so the cutoff is around 80% usually empty.

Slightly more seriously a SUV can be defined as a car that has a towing rating approved by the mfgr. I've never owned a car where the mfgr approves any towing weight at all, and I've never heard of a SUV that can't at least tow some minimal weight.

It's becoming pretty common. Every time I go to the cinema I see an advertisement for VWs touting their automatic braking.

I imagine the avoided rear-end collisions caused by inattentive drivers will outweigh the contrived "emergency manoeuvre" failure scenarios. The times when the car actually engages its automatic braking is probably also pretty conservative.

If you read the full report, the automaker with by far the largest gap between its claimed improvements in fuel economy and its actual on-the-road performance is General Motors. Much worse than VW and Mercedes (who also did very poorly), by this measure.

Also rules that are in conflict. To get good mileage and corresponding low CO2 emissions, you need ultra lean mixtures. Alas, ultra lean mixtures produce more NOx.

You want low NOx emissions, you need richer mixtures, and thus higher fuel consumption and higher CO2 emissions.
Got home from a hike and saw that your GPS track record went all haywire?
It just moves the problem.

Instead of arguing about the borders, you have arguments about which clustering algorithm to use, and what the weights to the inputs should be.

A simplistic algorithm like shortest splitline will give impractical results in many cases. For sure you're going to put Eagleton and Pawnee in the same district.

Unless you have a mathematical definition of districts that lead to good government, a purely mathematical solution won't be possible.
There's a reason these freedoms are protected. They're not just axioms of a society. Most of them stem from one very strong principle: if you don't have and extremely good reason to know something, then you can't prohibit the alternatives, because you may be prohibiting improvements. And in the long run, it's better to have 9 people fail and one succeed than to have 10 people do nothing new.

But you can have laws that guide behavior. Those 9 people who will fail? You can learn the lesson about that failure and make it illegal to fail in the same way. For instance, at one time, you were free to beat your children, because nobody really knew that it wasn't the most effective way to teach them. But if you have overwhelming evidence that it doesn't work, then you can make it illegal. You still have the freedom to choose how to raise your children, you just can't do it in obviously failure-prone ways.

So yeah, you can outlaw (parts of) scientology and legally compel vaccinations when those actions are shown to definitively run counter to the justification of those freedoms in the first place. You are not free to make clear and obvious mistakes. Take any safety law as an example.

The only thing you really need is proof.
This prompted me to look up UK total civilian casualties at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#Human_... , giving the surprisingly small figure of 67,200 (including commonwealth!). We didn't do so badly when you look at some of the other horrifying figures in that table.

That figure of total civilian deaths is also smaller than the death toll of either of the two nuclear bomb attacks or the firebombing of Tokyo. The RAF firebombing of Dresden has unclear casualty figures but seems to be about 20,000.

Edit: thinking about it, the difference between that low number and the others is really the debt owed to the "few" of Fighter Command and the ability to maintain air superiority over England and the Channel, preventing truly extensive bombing and an invasion.
