Turbolinks should be turned off by default. Rails developers went way too far with it, it actually can f-ck up third party scripts on a page. Opinionated web frameworks are good, but they should stick to server-side tasks.

Turbolinks should have been an extension, not in the core. With these kinds of gimmicks, and constant breaking of APIs from versions to versions , Rails is committing adoption suicide.

If a framework can be rendered on the server-side then the time-to-interaction only matters if it's longer than it takes for the user to mentally process the page and take an action.

Yes, but time-to-interaction can be long when connectivity is poor. Connectivity is frequently poor.

You have several things to consider here:

1) Making sure the phone matches the bands offered by his mobile provider in his area. For example, T-Mobile has greatly expanded their band 12 coverage over the past year, but most mobile phones don't have band 12 coverage.

2) The actual RF qualities of the radios on the mobile phones.

3) Many mobile providers offer Wi-Fi calling, so this can be an alternative in a poorly covered area. However Wi-Fi calling is dependent on device support.

4) Many mobile providers offer free or cheap repeaters that connect into your cable modem or DSL routers. These emulate LTE or 3G base stations and can be used to make calls in poorly covered areas. This too works well in homes, and with any devices.

Thanks for being open about this. What made me think the comment was a personal attack was the combination of hostile sarcasm (not just "reflexive dick-measuring", but also "feel free") with introducing personal details.

It's always risky to bring in new personal details about someone into a thread, but if the context makes it clear that it's being done with good will, it can be ok. If the context is hostile, though, that's basically never good.

We're all hypocrites. The points one scores by digging up dirt to rub someone's nose in aren't worth the damage it does to the social fabric—at least in a place like HN where we care a lot about cohesion and it is always fragile.

The term illegal is not the same as inadmissible. The recording isn't illegal, and isn't going to get anybody prosecuted for making it. Whether it's admissible is another question, but the article itself states:

"What the government did here is not unlawful only because it occurred outside a courthouse..."

The headline says illegal, but that's not what the term actually means. I know it's semantics, but the argument you appear to be making is that law enforcement broke laws here. They did not. They may have a recording that they can't use in court, but the recording itself is not illegal.

> majority of Muslims just want to live in peace, just like everybody else

I think one of the major issues is defining peaceful and non-violent. From my personal experience (I am from a Muslim country), I have seen many Muslims who would not commit violence themselves, but they do not have any trouble if some extremists commit violence. Some would even give moral justification of the violence. In our country's atheist community we commonly joke "Extremists want to kill us, Moderates want Extremists to kill us". FWIW, apostasy is punishable by death in some Muslim countries.

To sum up, almost all the Muslims are non-violent, but how many of them are truly peaceful? You will be very surprised to know the number.
Could you explain what you mean by 'or life on Earth in general'? Kinetic fractionation is a well-known process. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_fractionation :

> Biological processes are generally unidirectional and are very good examples of "kinetic" isotope reactions. All organisms preferentially use lighter isotopic species, because "energy costs" are lower, resulting in a significant fractionation between the substrate (heavier) and the biologically mediated product (lighter). As an example, photosynthesis preferentially takes up the light isotope of carbon 12C during assimilation of an atmospheric CO2 molecule. This kinetic isotope fractionation explains why plant material (and thus fossil fuels, which are derived from plants) is typically depleted in 13C by 25 per mil (2.5 per cent) relative to most inorganic carbon on Earth.

That sounds like life on Earth in general can form large geological concentrations of isotopically shifted material, and it's well accepted.

They're not stealing anything. You are agreeing to them when you consume ad-supported content. You are free to never use that site again. Yet, you come back because you think the benefits are worth the cost. There are people who don't come back and gripe about a different kind of ad: those snuck into paid services by oligopolies. I feel their pain as they are getting shafted by the power the oligopolies have.

The rest of you want to freeload and aren't getting the freeloading experience you desire. Feel free to try but be responsible enough to admit what you're doing. Otherwise, many services that are ad-supported can be replaced with paid ones with more privacy-focused ones than ever post-Snowden. There's also the alternative of not using what you won't pay for in attention to ads. If you're just getting robbed by ads, feel free to give up the content as it had no value to you and was a robbery rather than an exchange.
> I don't think that federal intelligence and law enforcement officials calling for backdoors have fully thought through the consequences

I think assuming that level of incompetence is a big claim.

It's simply much more likely that the actual plans/goals and the talking points and press releases about the plans/goals are mostly unrelated, as usual. You can infer that those calling for backdoors have decided that calling for backdoors is the best thing to say, inferring anything more requires more information.

Hitler was one of the greatest public speakers of his time.

"the reason there haven’t been any large-scale terror attacks by ISIS in the U.S. is not because they were averted by the intelligence community, but because — with the possible exception of one that was foiled by local police — none were actually planned."

So what would happen if more attacks were planned? (Brilliant habit, reading HN right before going to bed.)

> It does seem odd. But it seems like there are at least a couple sources of discipline. The first is that you could call two brokers and take the one with the best offer, or use other kinds of pricing services for comparison. The other is that you could still negotiate directly with the dealer yourself.

Yes, of course, that's what I do now. but then what value does this broker service provide?

That's the problem with most brokers. Negotiation is unpleasant. I am fundamentally willing to pay money to get the benefits of negotiation without dealing with this unpleasantness.

The problem is that in most areas where negotiation really matters, all the middlemen who have the information required to negotiate well for me all have more important relationships with my counterparties than with me. A big example is body shops;

I mean, I spend probably about half my time contracted out through a body shop of one sort or another, The thing is, at the same job, negotiation quite often can mean a 30% difference in pay for me. And I'm bad at negotiation, so it would maybe make sense to outsource that.

The problem is that the companies that normally handle that, the body shops, have strong relationships that matter with the companies that actually foot the bill. Their relationships with contractors like me matter a lot less, so they are my counterparty in the negotiation.

Writers and actors have agents to handle that sort of thing; but the important bit there is that agents are paid by the person they are representing, and paid more the more the person they are representing gets.
Not everybody compiles all binaries they deploy on developer workstations. If you run ARM servers, it makes sense that your build servers are on ARM as well, especially since you should run tests on the same architecture you're deploying to.

You can not compare our situation to that of the DDR. If there is more surveillance going on than we currently know, it is certainly not as much as in that time -- a big chunk of the population were reporting to the "Ministerium für Staatssicherheit" directly, which was a well known fact.
Not to defend mass surveillance, but why would there be any public record of this? Wouldn't you expect most major thwarted attacks to be kept classified?
dnsmasq can read /etc/hosts, but /etc/hosts format can't do * blocking. So if you are using /etc/hosts (with dnsmasq) '--block-at-tld' wouldn't work.

Moving /etc/hosts to /etc/hosts.default is much better than the 'hosts example'. Updated it. Thanks. Still experimenting with 'dnsmasq reload' but if it works as advertised that's more general than restarting the service.

in China it seems meat-dishes tend to be much fattier

Seems to be a preference thing. At least according to one immigrant Vietnamese family I was close with growing up, muscle is rather bland and boring in texture. They strongly preferred the fat & connective tissue for their flavor & texture respectively, and dishes were always very oily.

As far as I know, Western diets used to be fattier, but out of concern for the diseases of civilization animal fats have been reduced.
This is a very interesting topic. Where can I find these "actual statistics on who kills Americans in America" that describes terrorist motivations?

We've been using Highcharts in our app for about 2 years and are generally pretty happy with it.

The one thing Highcharts doesn't do well is line charts for data series where the x-axis value isn't always increasing (ie data that loops around on the plot). Usually renders ok the first time but zoom breaks completely in our experience.

For us this issue is a big enough pain for our users (who have been stuck with scatter plots as the only working...workaround) that we'll probably move to plotly as soon as we can now that it's open source.

This is not a "jump". This is ongoing research in a relatively young field (about 20 years old), with multiple views. But you can read http://www.geology.wisc.edu/outcrop/05/05_pdfs/11%20Iron%20I... concerning work being done in 2005 on the topic, which shows that the New Yorker is no distant leap beyond what people in that field have been saying for over a decade, and with efforts to fill in the details.
I also use a password manager, and enable two-factor authentication when possible. I mark my personal devices as trusted, so I only have to do two-factor authentication whenever I get a new device.

I can think of a few examples of threat vectors where an attacker could get one of my passwords without being able to completely take over any of my devices.

1. There might be a browser vulnerability that allows a malicious web page to get one of my passwords - let's say it gets to read memory that was deallocated but not zeroed, or it gets to see the contents of my clipboard, or something like that.

2. The provider of the service I'm using might accidentally leak some of their passwords. In the worst case, they might not even notice it.

3. In some special circumstances I might have to check my mail on a computer that I don't own, and there might be a keylogger.

I don't necessarily consider these threats to be very likely, but I get new devices so rarely, that even a minor improvement in security makes it is worth the inconvenience for me.
True. In dnsgate's case the domains are extracted and guaranteed (real hostname validation is on the todo) to point to 127.0.0.1 (or whatever '--dest-ip' is).
You haven't written anything I can show to be factually inaccurate. But the trouble is with one word: "simply."

Unless you subscribe to a metaphysical interpretation of human behavior, the fact that obesity is such a widespread health problem is ipso facto strong evidence that some set of environmental factors is at play.

The insistence that this large population of people bear some kind of personal responsibility for their condition completely misses the point and is, in my opinion, an obviously useless suggestion to make. I'm not aware of any evidence that instilling a sense of shame in people who are obese is likely to ameliorate their condition, and the experience of many would seem to suggest it is likely to have the opposite effect.
Why give them a reason to play? "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth makes us all blind and toothless." also then comes to mind.

i think the key is that christianity had the historical accident of being connected to western development, so it was forced to tone down its shenanigans. a present example is how it is being forced to accept homosexuality. unlike dogma seems to claim, religion is the one that follows the morality of society, not the other way around.

not that religions aren't powerful. the kinds of religion-based stupidity you see in other nations is exactly the reasons why the founders of the U.S. explicitly separated church and state.
