> said that pot is the only drug that prevents him from doing any good work.

And this is where i suspect the big anti-pot push is coming from.

With alcohol you can go out for some beers after work, get buzzed, get up the next day with a nagging ache, and still come back to work.

With pot it is more likely that you go "fuck work!".

End result, pot is not good for business.

Looking across history, there is a whole mess or barely concealed agenda aimed at maintaining a workforce. Even the modern school system is perhaps put into place to produce and maintain a more useful workforce.
Well before we had import tax, customs, border control, different currencies... It might not be perfect, but it's a lot better then it used to be.
You won't believe the time you save by just binding 'esc' to a mouse button. 'enter' also, but to a lesser extent. Every time you're mousing and a dialog appears, you have escape and cancel. It's also very useful in photoshop and games.

I learned it from working on AutoCAD with a puck on a tablet. One of the buttons was binded to 'esc', and the right button acts as an enter. Later when I switched to mouse, the 'esc' mouse button was the thing I missed the most.

I've also made some statistics: http://inodetelic.com/autocad-command-statistics/

Puck UIs (https://www.dropbox.com/s/7v099r086r0cyu1/some_tablet.jpeg?d...) were good at the time for drawing programs because screen space was precious.
For Firefox I use:
1. Disconnect, helps with privacy and trackers, heard about while reading up on ghostery (I forget which site).
2. Night Mode Page Dim, makes reading at night easier on the eyes, read about it on ghacks.
3. NoScript, stops js from running, I think it was Krebs on Security.
4. Privacy Badger, another privacy tool, read about it on the EFFs website.
5. RefControl, allows the user to manipulate http referrer for certain sites, HN.
6. uBLock Origin, it acts as an http firewall, friend told me about me.
Ask HN: What is your favorite data structure, what have you done with it?

"Why are we trying to convince everyone not to do drugs again?"

I guess you could say that occasional use is not a big problem for most drugs. But I wouldn't recommend it, because most people go through some vulnerable time when they could become addicted (or otherwise abuse drugs), and at that time you don't want to have the stuff in your house or a dealer friend ready to supply.

We dismiss people who join cults that sound crazy -- an alien ship coming to rescue them or something -- but I think a high percentage of people could be recruited if the cult appears at just the right time in their lives.

If you are a regular user of drugs, it's like always having the cult recruiter in your house, just waiting for the right time.
Looks interesting for the niche purpose! I certainly can think of a couple of use cases.

But I don't understand why the build script is written in Python? I think that either you should use a simple shell script or stick to Go.
I don't believe this post, and I think the author should have done a better job of making it realistic since that was clearly the goal of using craigslist. There are countless authentic (and believable though false) anecdotes available today because of the internet. I would have liked to see the author do more research, to have read some of the aforementioned writings, ditch the traditional rulebook, and create something I could believe. They clearly have a knack for writing, but their adherence to so many traditional rules destroys what they were trying to accomplish. Every day people with much less talent make up stories that are readily believed. (Reposted links with claims of being the original poster are the easiest to find examples of this.) It's a shame. This was a marvelous idea. And I hope the next time I read this author's work, I'll have no choice but to believe.

I used to work with a guy who got way in over his head as a result of being buddy buddy with the boss. He inherrited packaging of applications from another guy who saw the writing on the wall and noped his way out of the company...

This guy would google how to do each step in packaging an application, each time he had to do it or modify an existing package, and would often manually scan 100s of lines of scripts looking for a particular keyword, and still to this day does it, even though i would bring up use of ctrl+f every single time he would ask me for help, litterally hundreds of times. I got to the point where i would tell him to let me know when he found the line he was looking for and then i would walk back to my desk, it never failed that 10 minutes later he would text me ok, i found it. After walking back to his desk and helping him, he would move on to the next step, google what he needed to change, and then try to prevent me from going back to my desk while he spent another 10 minutes scanning lines of text to find the keyword he was looking for... to this day, i bet he is still not using ctrl+f.... sickening that someone can get away with that in IT.

Same thing in Seoul, South Korea also. Little kids walk/subway to school or go to friends' place without parents or older siblings. No such thing as play date being arranged by parents as done in US. Kids do it themselves.

Awesome! While I am a Bernie supporter, and an active member of CodersForSanders, it makes me really happy to see this. I think it's amazing seeing our skillets get applied to the things we really care about.

Here is the history lesson you have been looking for...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access#Influen...

IBM were the people that got the function keys and short cuts right, that filtered through with their early work with Microsoft for Windows back in the day.

There is some saying about those that don't know their history repeating mistakes that has happened with the situation you describe.
I seriously think it's the car culture of US. You move around outside of your immediate neighborhood enclosed in your car, cut off from others except for occasional eye contact or hand motion at stop signs.

And that somehow seems to have translated into a mentality of cannot trust anyone other than immediate family/friends.
What may be interesting in all this is that China is talking up the Keynesian Bankor.

Meaning a currency not tied to any one nation, existing specifically for trade between nations.

And i'm not sure i follow the line about "rule of law" regarding China.
Presenting made up stories as authentic is by no means a new idea. To say it's an "evolution of artistic expression" is to give this piece and its author far too much credit. You're right, it does not matter if it is real or fake, but it absolutely matters if it is believable. You and I have read and believed many made up stories in our lifetime. Our instinct is to believe what we read. There could not have been a greater failure on the writer's part than to present us a piece that forces us to question its authenticity. The writer should give us no choice but to believe. Regardless of if the piece is true or not.

But we're not building tools for the campaign. We're building tools for the grassroots movement the campaign has sparked. We're building tools for people to coordinate on the ground, organize, find rides, create fliers, learn information, become excited, etc.

Tools, servers, and bandwidth are all things we cover ourselves. And thankfully we have services like Heroku & Cloudflare that make this easily possible.
Easier said than done, if you don't have any state you're probably not doing something all that interesting.

The trick is to keep your state in the right place, the answer usually being to punt state management to a database/message queue/etc. - you definitely want to avoid, say, stateful frontends.

This reminds me of an anecdote where someone who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge wrote that if a single person smiled at them while they walked to the bridge they would not jump off. That sadly didn't happen... I think caring for one another in even minor ways can have a huge impact. http://www.sentinelandenterprise.com/news/ci_25438684/just-s...
I guess you need to look at the general OpenBSD coding guidelines (if they're documented anywhere).

Also, they ripped out a bunch of what they called "exploit mitigation countermeasures" in OpenSSL's memory allocation code.
Yeah, also a power run on a dyno is nothing like the sustained cruising-speed tests carried out for emissions tests. I'm not sure that during a power run the car would realize it is being tested. At least, it wouldn't if I was the one implementing the cheat-mode based on my knowledge of emissions testing procedures.
This background color and white text does not give the best reading experience. I don't know. Maybe it is just me.
> A popular television show called Hajimete no Otsukai, or My First Errand, features children as young as two or three being sent out to do a task for their family.

I want to try this with my 3 year old. Find a very large park which has a canteen or shop at one end and send him off to buy something. I'd still like him to be visible, but it seems like it would be really fun and empowering.
South Korea (especially Seoul) is a similar case.

A high percentage of people you see in the Seoul subways actually own cars. Lots of office workers leave their sedans/suvs in the garages of their highrise apartment complexes on regular workdays. They usually walk/bus/subway to/from work. This is because of the crush of traffic at rush hour. You just end up stressed out if you try to drive around in Seoul at rush hour in certain areas. Much less stress/time if you just walk/subway.

The cars are usually driven on weekends for family trip.

I think that has more to do with code hygiene.

I think that's a pretty misleading TLDR (as it suggests nothing will change which isn't at all what the article claims); The title is a better summary of the message.
I think that there is a problem with the 'three 'R's' not being taught properly. I am shocked to find people hired to write copy for the internet and lacking basic standards of literacy. Product copy, newsletters, blog posts for 'social media' and that sort of stuff requires some ability to spell, the sort of ability that most people on this site had when they were aged 11.

There are also those that 'learned' to write with Microsoft applications that capitalise the first letter of a sentence. When these people are allowed to use something like Wordpress that does not have this magic, what happens? All notion of punctuation goes out of the window and they do not care. They really don't and little things like spelling and grammar shows that, plus if challenged they state that it does not matter as there are more important things - as if!!!

IMHO the 90% that cannot use CTRL+F cannot spell or use punctuation. They have the reading age of a small child.
I wish adult joggers in US would please wear reflective something when running on street.

Few days ago I pissed off a biker and a jogger because I didn't see them in time to stop at a safe distance away from them.

Guess what? BOTH were wearing BLACK shirt/shorts. Because they were running from my 10 oclock to 2 oclock (outside of cone of headlights), I just couldn’t see them.
Not all emissions tests are conducted with OBD2 link. In some relaxed regimes, OBD2 interrogation is the only component of the emissions test, and the car passes if the car determined there is no faults. I lived in a county with emissions testing and the OBD2 link was used as a pre-test before the dyno run, and to feed the VIN number into the state's computer to provide some assurance about the identity of the car being tested.

Some vehicles, like my Toyota, indeed behave slightly differently if there is a diagnosis computer connected. I don't know if this applies to the OBD2 link as well as the toyota-specific connector under the hood, but it's pointed out in the factory shop manual. At any rate this knowledge has prevented me from trying the "scangauge" type of data collection device.
Korean VC wants to accelerate 10,000 startups in 7 years
I'm sort of surprised to hear this view of the situation which is about the complete opposite of what I've had for the past few years. I have felt it's a shame that hashicorp have created consul, vault, a new raft implementation (which they got tons of flack for then etcd made THEIR OWN re-write which fixed a tons of issues this year..), serf, etc., and nobody has adopted or built on them. K8's current secrets solution is a bit underwhelming TBH, as an example.

Alan Kay on re-creating Xerox PARC's design magic at CDG
Here is one way to look at it:

The tech\corporate\spy world is moving so fast that we need experimentation at smaller scales to discover the right types of privacy and information law. Implementation of "right to be forgotten" on a small scale might have helped find a better implementation before being rolled out at a broad scale. Delegating law making to states lets this experimentation and evolution happen. You can add you own start-up metaphor.

If I look at the US, the federal level seems to be a quagmire and prevent progress (health, education, guns) compared to the rest of the world. However, when states set law independently, the rate of change seems much faster (gay marriage, drug laws). I can't see the US minting a new citizen right at the expense of corporations at the federal level - this is tragic. However, it might if states led the way first.

"Business friendly" and "protectionism" read like talking points from a corporate PR machine. I see the EU pursuing citizen's rights for the modern world when the US is stagnant / regressing.
Satya Nadella: How I Work [video]
> Cmd+L, URL, Cmd+Enter

> This trick doesn't work in Firefox, so I prefer Cmd-T Cmd-L URL Enter

I didn't understand what doesn't work in Firefox in your example. I use keyboard shortcuts while entering URLs and Firefox has the widest support to fill domain suffixes. Cmd/Ctrl+L takes you to the address bar. Type "domain" and then Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to visit www.domain.com, Shift+Enter to visit www.domain.net, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Enter to visit www.domain.org. AFAIK, the original Ctrl+Enter for www.domain.com was from IE, but I haven't seen IE or Chrome support these additional combinations out of the box.
I found it interesting that both Lycos and WebCrawler linked to university domains and were in subdirectories. Those where my go-to when I was first online, but I remember them having concise domains by that time.
Is it so important to have a single reserve currency? Couldn't these problems be largely offset with better diversification and less friction in currency trading.

For example, lets say some banks got together and defined a meta-currency called Euro-Dollars, which is a mixture of 55% Euros and 45% USD. I could take out a loan in Euro-Dollars from a bank. I could buy and sell goods internationally in Euro-Dollars. I could hold my personal savings in Euro-Dollars. I could buy on Ebay, Amazon and Alibaba with Euro-Dollars because the sellers know that it's a good idea to diversify their currency holdings, they can buy other goods and services with Euro-Dollars and currency trading is relatively frictionless.

Or, perhaps, we could go further and create a currency that's a mix of the top 10 most traded in some suitable ratio. Rather like an index fund, wouldn't this insulate from the relative fluctuations of the individual economies and help facilitate international trade?

On another note, this would help insulate individuals from currency fluctuations in a global economy. I happen to be in Australia and my personal accounts are in AUD. Since 2011 AUD has dropped about 40% relative to USD. If I now want to buy something from a company in the US, I am 40% poorer. If my money had been split into a mix of major currencies, I would be in much the same position whether I now wanted to buy domestic or international goods. Some banks offer multi-currency accounts for personal use, but it's far from the norm. Wouldn't it make more sense if my bank automatically diversified my currency holdings to insulate me from international fluctuations?
What about people who never park in a parking garage? Who's going to pay for installing/maintaining charging stations?

I know that a lean burning petrol engine will emit more NOx, but as an American who is not a truck mechanic I don't really know much about diesel. Does it work the same way in the diesel cycle? On the other hand, I am reasonably sure that more fuel = more CO2 emissions (or whatever emissions are catalyzed into CO2.)

That article is 50 years old. Perhaps this one from 2013:
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....

"21,967 respondents (13.4% weighted) reported lifetime psychedelic use. There were no significant associations between lifetime use of any psychedelics, lifetime use of specific psychedelics (LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, peyote), or past year use of LSD and increased rate of any of the mental health outcomes. Rather, in several cases psychedelic use was associated with lower rate of mental health problems."

Eh Trainspotting has a decent chance of encouraging heroin use. At least that was my (apparently not too uncommon) reaction to the film. Requiem seemed too nonsensical.

And all they really do is show that you should have money and the real problems aren't the drugs but finances and society.
Do you have the text of it? Wikipedia has a small quote which doesn't back it up:

"The 3 patients in whom an extended psychosis followed a single ingestion of LSD clearly had long standing schizophrenia..."

The page on it is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD_and_schizophrenia - there doesn't seem to be any strong studies. A small increased risk is possible/likely.

On the flip side, many folks seem to feel LSD is one of the most meaningful experiences they've had in life. It seems reasonable that healthy people should seek out such an experience in a controlled, safe, environment.
I've actually run linux as a "library OS". You can actually run it with MMU support disabled on x86. Worked fine. Compiled a little C program to overwite the interrupt table, ran it, and the whole computer crashed instantly. Weird.
I don't mind sharing but there are so many examples online for anyone searching 'cancellation letter template' I don't see the need. It's a completely standard business letter that you keep very short and to the point. Include your account numbers and do not bother with providing a reason unless you are exercising your 'get out free' option for a rate hike on a term contract. The shorter the better. Read the contract from the service provider and have a copy of your most recent bill to refer to for account details, and make sure the reader has enough info to process your request properly.

Note that this works best for small-time stuff like broadband or mobile phone plans, if you have a lot riding on it you are better off talking to a lawyer and paying for an hour or two of their time.

Sample text,remember to keep it very short and to the point:

<your address>

<their address>

<date>

Notice Of Cancellation Of Service (or alternate subject line, use bold print this line only)

Dear Sir or Madam, (or preferably a name if known)

I am writing to cancel service under account number <?12345?> in my name at the above address effective <insert date>.

(optional paragraph) I will return your equipment to your office on the same date and obtain proof of delivery.

(optional paragraph) I reject your rate increase of <insert specific detail here>. You forfeit the Early Termination Fee due to the following materially averse change to our previous agreement: <insert reason here> (It CANNOT be a sales tax increase or anything outside their control but can definitely be an increase in any silly and vague 'regulatory' fees, etc. A classic example is an increase in SMS fees from 5¢ to 10¢, regardless of whether you actually went over your allowance and paid an overage yet. They may offer to waive this but you are not obliged to accept - they chose to alter the deal and they broke their contract, not you)>

It's a rarity in my part of the state. There are only 2 intersections that don't have protected left turns and are yield-on-green. They both have triangular signs stating they are yield-on-green and those signs get ignored.

I've been honked at and nearly rear-ended because I yield-on-green on protected turns at unfamiliar lights where I expect them to be yield-on-green (I assume any lane without a dedicated arrow light to be yield-on-green.)

The intersections around here give opposite sides protected left turns, then normal straight traffic flow. None but the "weird two" are yield-on-green and those two intersections, as a result, have a ton of accidents caused by people not yielding properly.

It probably wouldn't be as big of an issue if every other light in the town was yield-on-green instead of protected. It's the fact that those two lights are the only "special" ones that I think causes the problem. Since everyone is used to having a protected turn, people ignore the "yield on green" sign and turn into oncoming traffic (whom they think have a red light).
