I don't know who or what mailtime is but I really wish people would stop sending these to public mailing lists. I am always tempted to send a snarky reply to them.

With the regular 'brush compliance checks' mine does, an electrical toothbrush made significant difference. And it's not because I spend longer brushing, I even think I brush less in wall-clock time. The electrical one just seems to be more thorough ('seems' as in 'confirmed with dentist-administered plaque and gum health measurements', not 'I really want to believe so in my mind I make it so').
MWI really has nothing to do with the Fine-tuned Universe paradox. That paradox has to do with the fundamental physical constants being just right to allow for life. But the many worlds in MWI aren't worlds in which the fundamental constants are different, but rather they're worlds in which quantum probabilities collapsed in different ways. In fact, of al the infinitude of worlds in MWI, they all must share the same physical constants, because, for every quantum decision, only physically possible results are represented by parallel worlds, and there's no quantum mechanism that can change the fundamental physical constants altering reality.

Given that, you can easily reject MWI while still accepting the parallel universes explanation for the Fine-tuned Universe paradox (namely, that there's an infinity of universes with different physical constants, which solves the paradox quite neatly because only in universes with constants "tuned" just right for life can there arise life capable of thinking of the Fine-tuned Universe paradox, which turns the paradox into a straightforward example of the Anthropic principle).

Or you could reject the parallel universes explanation for Fine-tuned Universe while still believing in MWI for quantum effects.
You'll be able to reverse engineer. Interpreting JS is a massive waste of CPU/battery for the majority of users. The savings is worth a slight increase in complexity for developers.
This would be terrible for the web from crawl-ability, accessibility, extension and OS integration points of view.

The web is awesome because it's document based, and largely because of links embedded in a open document format. Get rid of the document and you get rid of readable links, web crawlers, find-in-page, screen readers, and on and on...
This is argument from anecdote.

"everyone feels that they are being victimized constantly" is a pretty bold claim. You offer no concrete evidence to support this. Instead you link to Jerry Seinfeld also claiming, without providing evidence, that colleges are too politically correct.

Is there too much sensitivity? I'm not saying there isn't. But you've offered nothing to support that claim other than a lazy "you know those PC college kids, amirite?" Well, no, I don't. I've heard some things I think are pretty silly, but how prevalent are they actually? Frankly, if this thread is anything to go on, anti-PC people spend plenty of time whining about how they're constantly victimized by political correctness, and I wonder how much of it is just projection.

You've taken this one incident (which, in the context of the "No Black Girls" parties and other details Fridersdorf deliberately left out, isn't even convincing on its own) and blown it out into "everyone feels that they are being victimized constantly." It's lazy and does nobody any good. Try going a week without using the words "always" or "never" unless you're referring to an actual tautology.

Do you have any anticipated timeline for this? For React, at least, we're eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to write at a lower level while maintaining the same JS-facing API.
Is this a promo for coding boot camps? Someone recently featured a medium article which slammed the coding boot camps by claiming they produce under qualified job candidates.
You want this alphabetically for why most corps won't deploy OSS wikis that are stamped for approval by the HN crowd?

1. LDAP support

2. SAML / SSO support

3. RBACLs

4. Auditability that integrates with some Big Corp compliance system (I'm thinking SOX primarily here and why some companies can't use Git for systems that require full auditability just because Git rebase and wipe of the reflog can happen)

5. The fact it's Java-based rather than oh... Erlang or Python is a pro to most enterprises that have hordes of people that have known only Java tooling and languages. Training a bunch of people that are not motivated to learn anything new is insanely hard. PHP could substitute in here as well I suppose.

6. Other software suites that integrate tightly with it. JIRA sucks for a lot of people, too, but it sure beats all the other crap I've had to use at work. I think less than 20% of the people on HN have actually had to use HP Quality Center or Rational ClearQuest on a daily basis for a long time.

7. Vendor is software maintainer. Big Corps would rather work with a single vendor if possible rather than some small consulting companies that install and integrate the software tailored for their environment and then leave pretty much. So unless one of the primary maintainers of I dunno, Redmine, started offering support contracts with a team of professional services folks, there's hardly any actual competitors to the Atlassian suite in the enterprise "more money and not much technical know-how to spend it effectively" software market.

8. A sales team that you can choke to bend to your will with money. Most OSS projects will not take terrible, horrible, ugly feature requests for large sums of money from a single user that are technically bad and tough to support without massive costs - this is how a lot of enterprise software vendors do business and part of how they decline over time (too many one-off feature requests for big ticket customers that create conflicting design requirements to engineer around combined with a shift to sales culture over engineering / innovation culture leading to massive loss of technical talent).

It's not less scientific. It's scientifically identical to Copenhagen (because it makes identical predictions with identical assumptions). But the distinguishing characteristics of MWI (the bits that make it "not Copenhagen") are non-scientific, as they are non-falsifiable.

The first ever dedicated smart watch keyboard now on Kickstarter
Exactly. I'd hate to find out my airbags would not have passed inspection but some QA dude figured that since I'd never find out until it was too late that it didn't matter anyway and nobody caught that. Contrived example but you get where I'm coming from, if the process is this broken anything could happen.

That's why I said before this will damage VW's brand on much more than just fuel consumption. So far (luckily) the other German brands seem to have escaped association by origin.

But we never get actual free trade. We get "no tariffs on imports and exports" with a laundry list of concessions to get it. By itself, of course free trade is better - it expands your markets for competitiveness and as long as neither country can exploit its people to unnaturally favor their production it just broadens your competition pool.

That never happens. But it doesn't happen because free trade does not work. It doesn't happen because any free trade law is inherently the stage to gain concessions - both sides are poised to benefit, so you barter off your sovereignty and economic position as best you can to maximize your gains, even at catastrophic loss to the participant nations, or even your own people.

Its not pretty to acknowledge that to raise the entirety of humanity to a modern standard of living we need to endure the short term ramifications of equalizing our economies amongst each other. But its a pill worth swallowing for all of us. We just keep trying to take the pill in tiny pieces smeared in the rancid butter of short term exploitation and profit.

For those who don't know what a zero day is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-day_(computing)
I appreciate the example here, but this only works when every decision has 2 outcomes with a 50/50 probability distribution (or more generally, when every decision has an even weighting between all results). I don't pretend to have a good understanding of quantum mechanics, but my impression is that this model doesn't match how quantum "decisions" actually work.
Today if you go to the dentist in the Netherlands they'll ask you whether you want anesthesia. At first I was like 'wtf, is that even a question' but it's not that bad. It just compresses discomfort into a smaller time window. I'd estimate the 'total' discomfort to be the same.

Only have experience with fillings, btw. I guess extracting a healthy molar (e.g. to make room for other teeth), or a wisdom tooth, would be significantly more uncomfortable when done without anesthetics.

Hi guys,

Maybe you should try Jumble (www.jumble.io) for email encryption - works with Gmail, iOS and MS Outlook.

Jumble manage key pairs for users and encrypt the private key with the users password so they don't have access, this ultimately simplifies the whole process for the end user and frees them from the key management aspect which is the major pain-point with PGP-based solutions.
Also, it integrates on top of existing emails clients so no need to change your email address or how you interact with emails.

Full disclaimer: I'm a co-founder of Jumble

"This entire movement isn't really about ideas or arguments it's about group identity"

I'm curious whether you recognize this as your opinion, which is valuable to you because it flatters your own political beliefs, rather than an objective analysis. You've provided no evidence; you're just arguing with a straw man here. Maybe it's time for a new hobby, bro.
The fact that to date nobody has been held responsible lends a great deal of credibility to your conspiracy theory. I'd be highly surprised if they were upset at what they did, I think they're mostly upset at being caught.

What More Could Companies Do in Order to Avoid This?
I recently caught a 69-year-old acquaintance setting up a new Hotmail account. I knew he had one from a long time ago so I asked him why he needed a new one.

"I need to create an account in order to fill out this survey. It says here 'Please enter your email address. This email address will not be used for any purpose other than administration of your account.'"

"How many times have you created a new email address specifically to create an account?"

"Well this account is johnsmith26, so 26 times. I can never remember which account is for which service!"

I explained to him that "This email address will not be used for any purpose other than..." was from the company's point of view (ie privacy-related), and not a command, and we had a chuckle about it but it got me wondering, how much more could the company have done in order to avoid this situation? And not just this company - 25 other companies haven't made it clear enough that your existing email address will do. Similar anecdotes are also of course welcome.
>It's important to understand the implications of open access re: nature of funding. The model is inverted, with costs of publishing falling on the author (or institutional backer) rather than the reader. Traditionally, the cost burden was on the subscriber, with open access it falls on the creator of the content.

Which costs are you referring to? Are the editors paid? If not the only transfer in costs seems to be hosting a website for downloading static documents?

Which is all the more appropriate when you consider that I'm, according to the "bros" a "queer" and this is effectively a virtual game of "smear the queer".
Very much agreed. This is just an economically rational response to the housing prices young renters face in urban areas and the lack of community they/we grew up with in the suburbs. Thus the logical solution: live with a bunch of other people, and form a community out of them.

The existence of a "readable" parse tree doesn't provide the same level of "hackability" or openness as a DOM. You're comparing it to asm.js, but that isn't particularly relevant as asm.js that widely used (emscripten is cool, but the lack of readability you mentioned is a barrier to wider adoption in the general case).

WebAssembly will impact a lot more than just the pages currently using asm.js, and I fear it will introduce the Halting Problem in to a lot more areas. The concern isn't asm.js - it's frameworks like angular (no-content-without-js websites are already a problem). The availability of a parse tree doesn't help if I have to run it to access the structure that is current available in the DOM. With the current drama over adblopcking, I expect advertisers will jump at a technology that lets them treat clients as something they control. (compile an obfuscated version of freetype into small WebAssembly download will be be the key features).
A zero day is a non-publicly disclosed vulnerability. It's a very common term in the security community.
No, just like every other person who thought they were the first to notice the most obvious drawback of a binary format. Except that it's IL and that they've already planned for that. Why do people always ask these questions as if they're the first person to ever thing about them.

I dunno, it just seems like once a week something WASM comes up and this same exact question gets asked
Right now I'm hunting for second-hand apartment rentals in the most boring and unattractive parts of Sweden because I work remotely, don't need excitement, am okay with being alone, and can't afford big city rent—plus there are no apartments to rent in major Swedish cities unless you've been in the right queue for 15 years. I'd move into one of these things tomorrow if I could. Nothing is less interesting to me than owning furniture or signing long contracts. Yes, I am a millenial.
It was in the middle of a travel journal. It said if you are reading this and are 40, quit your job and start something. I did it (consulting) at the soonest convenient time.

> Inflation adjusted wages have been relatively flat, not decreasing

Inflation adjusted median household income peaked in 1999, and its current level is below what it was in 1997. [0] Mean household income has done better, because the very good results at the top influence the mean, but have no impact on the median.

Real hourly wages for middle- and low-income workers have been stagnant for decades; over a ~3 decade period dropping slightly for low income workers and gaining slightly for middle-income workers. (And lower for both categories than they were a decade ago.) And real hourly wages for young college graduates are below what they were in the late 1990s.

And, in the same time as wages have dropped, the key non-wage benefit (employer health coverage) has also dropped, with fewer recently-employed young graduates (of high school and college, measured separately) having employer-sponsored insurance than in the past. [1]

> At a macro scale people in the United States aren't getting poorer, they're just not getting relatively richer over time.

No, other than capitalists and a narrow slice of elite workers, they're actually getting poorer.

still haven't even read the rules. That would probally explain why forever I didn't know what you guys were talking about with down/up votes. The arrows weren't on my screen. I guess I was banned? They are now there, but I wish the only arrow was a up arrow. Never saw the need for the down arrow?

I only access this site when I'm on my iPad. I guess it's just habit.

I never come back to a post, unless I ask a question. Just don't like to argue, and unless we are talking about the poor, or animal abuse, I don't want to get all riled up.

I did look into this making a HN type site, but haven't succeeded. It would not clone HN. It would just be for a niche group of people, interested in old mechanical watches-- basically their repair. When I found out this site was built with lisp, I immediately got a book on lisp. I still haven't got through it either. See the pattern; I don't follow through.

I can honesly state, I believe this is the best site on the Internet, and I'm so glad Paul Graham decided to build it, and not change it up too much. Thank you Mr. Graham!
2nd Ammendment probably existed for such cases but in modern times it is probably ineffective in its letter.

We can however keep the spirit of 2nd amendment and fight against NSA by actively creating incentives for those people who are willing to shut down NSA. For example a candidate like Rand Paul should get enough support. It is not even necessary that this candidate should win, but once politicians realize that there is vote issue to be exploited they will bite the bait.

It is remarkable that the government wants to spy teenagers sharing nudes but cant prosecute Hillary Clinton who seem to have actually put sensitive information at danger.

Does the EFF really expect the NSA to publicly detail every time they've used an exploit offensively?
I guess both of you are right. But then even this is open to the side attack if someone looks over your shoulder and views the state of the coins and knows the protocol :)

I wrote the example thinking that people were filling in the survey in private (sort of like you, probably, do when voting).

Anyway, you get the concept :)
