If Android apps can use the microphone without a clear indication, especially in the background, then that is a serious security bug in Android and should be reported with that context and fixed, rather than weird nobody's-fault alarmism.
Fair enough, my advice and experience relate to things that aren't of such consequence as what not paying rent could cause.

"Just confront it" is something you have to figure out yourself as a procrastinator. You can read all the advice in the world, but you have to actually come to the realisation yourself that your only option is to "do things". Once you've done one thing you have a reference point to look back to.

Again, how is it different than StartupLister or some CSS gallery submission service?

Those sites aren't selling links and neither am I. We're just filling out submission forms that need to be reviewed and rejected or accepted. And most of those sites use nofollow or obfuscated links and that's fine. The goal is to have BetaList--or whatever--showcase your site...not game Google.

So why is my site getting chewed out, but StartupLister (and others like it) is celebrated as a wonderful resource by HN and Reddit users (hence my footnotes)?

I honestly don't understand why people are struggling with this. I keep asking simple questions and I get answers that completely disregard everything I've said.

Given the unusually extreme nature of this (at least from the witness reports of the mayhem as it's ongoing), I fear a mass surveillance bill might actually be one of the lesser worries.

He disagreed with their technical staff about how to design a mainframe.

The technical staff said that the operating system should run on microcode to abstract away the hardware. That way it would be easier for customers to migrate to new hardware as it became available. And they could easily add a new instruction if they needed to.

Gene said that it would be an order of magnitude faster if it ran directly on the hardware, and it wasn't that hard to support that API going forward.

Both proved right. Gene built computers that were massively faster than IBM's and perfectly compatible. IBM then added an instruction in micro-code and made all of their software use it. Gene's installed base all crashed on IBM's new code, while IBM's was fine. The US government launched an anti-trust lawsuit, which wound up binding IBM's hands for many years after.

IBM mainframes today still run on micro-code. And it still makes them massively slower than they need to be, but with better backwards compatibility. The mainframe world depends on a lot of programs from the 1960s and 1970s that runs, unchanged, today. Everyone else is using native instructions and runs faster.

What doesn't work well with XMPP is history on all my devices.

I still want to be able to scroll up and to read what I or anyone else in that chat room said before. This seems to be a feature where XAMPP and IRC fail me.

One of many reasons I find it amazing that applications ask for permission to the microphone when they don't have a good reason.

The latest Netflix update on Android asks for microphone permissions, saying that in the future they'll offer a way to call Netflix support from within the app. No, that's not a good reason; I have a phone for that. I've specifically avoided that upgrade; I'm hoping that my Nexus gets the upgrade to M before then, so that I can upgrade Netflix but deny it access to the microphone.
Except when you can't hire, because all those experienced folks are taken. Then the work doesn't get done and the company falls behind in inaction.
France has a huge body of dis-enfranchised easily radicalized youths. This has already led to many confrontations with the rest of the French and has resulted in riots, bombings and shootings. It's a real problem because for a long time politicians were somewhat in denial that this could become a problem and now that it has emerged it is very hard to change things for the better because of the numbers of people involved. This is complex stuff and there are no easy solutions, if any.

The religious aspect of the movie wasn't some deeply masked symbolism. It was right on the surface.

Then the climax of the movie is when their roles are reversed and the scientist is the one asking for people's faith to believe her without any physical evidence.

> Some rights are inalienable, so they cannot be taken away, just violated.

The concept of inalienable rights is a moral axiom accepted by some (sort of like the existence of a God with certain preferences, in fact, many conceptions of inalienable rights are specifically beliefs about the existence of a God with specific preferences); its not a material fact or a supportable conclusion.

And, of course, people who agree that inalienable rights exist disagree on what those rights are (even those that agree on the names of inalienable rights disagree on the definitions of the rights that those name attach to.)

> It's pretty obvious that they exist, otherwise nobody would really care about murder, rape, theft, fraud, lying, etc.

The fact that some people care about these things establishes that those people have certain moral preferences; it doesn't establish the existence of inalienable rights (in fact, many of the people who do care about these things do so based on justifications other than inalienable rights.)

It really depends. Some seminal live coding has introduced for me new programming techniques in a really impactful way. I needed the programmer to talk through and introduce the techniques as they worked slowly because I needed time for what he was saying to pass the BS filter and otherwise ring positive bells in my head.

The most recent instance of this for me was a talk on TDD that featured testing, of all things, CSS! My eyes were opened and I am now trying to test-drive my CSS with the tools/techniques described.

Yes, for the most of the people fleeing that was the sum total of their involvement. And for a small percentage of those people they either are taking the fight with them or have other plans. It's a tough situation, on the one hand no right thinking person has a problem with sheltering refugees, on the other hand those very same people are worried about what the long term consequences of these mass movements of people will be. One thing is fairly certain, the Schengen agreement (which has done more for the unification of Europe than almost any other EU activity short of the launch of the Euro) is going to be a casualty.
> There are certainly talks that would be better of just presenting snippets of code, but I think there's a time and a place for live coding examples as well.

Step 1. be David Beazley. He really is such an engaging speaker and I think his jokes and lightheartedness might make it look easy, but I don't think it is. Many probably think in their heads "I'll be just like David on stage" but they are not.

I have see nice demos where everything is setup and they just run a command it builds or launches a VM, that's fine. But building code from scratch, watching it compile, dealing with 1 off errors, or some hidden bug that now everyone is debugging, is usually painful to bear through.
I am happy that we were able to clarify this :D

Thanks. It takes a lot of effort to make live coding that smooth. The initial practice run of a 12-minute screencast was often 30-60 minutes, which would be boring and usually contain less information than the shorter final version. That difference came mostly from sinking effort into it: continuous simplification of examples, explanation, and even wording; and practicing until I (as the speaker) found myself engaged the whole time, with no spots where my attention dipped significantly.

As a thought experiment, I would predict that putting $80B more in the hands of the population of people in the bottom 50% of the wealth distribution would cause more and longer lasting economic activity than the same amount injected, for example, into the stock market. Broadly how it's working is that too much money is sticking in banks and financial markets, and not enough actually circulating in the hands of people and that's causing poor economic growth in real terms.

What does that mean for suggested fiscal or monetary policy? I don't know. I believe that capitalism makes sense at a lot of levels, but I also think that the over-accumulation of wealth unbalances the whole. The traditional proposed "solutions" to this are ineffective to me. e.g. increasing the minimum wage may do some social good but it's so far on the edges of the solving the fundamental problem it's laughable. Instituting a tax on wealth seems unworkable from a political level - and on top of that, it seems to be on the other far edge of trying to fix a problem long after the problem has occurred.

To me the fundamental problem isn't that individuals get wealth, it's that our financial system systematically approaches wages to be optimized down as a cost, and that companies are applauded for squeezing labor cost as equally as any other cost. So instead of investing in better training, or capital equipment, or better processes, a viable way to operate is to squeeze your employees as hard as possible. This is a process that's causing broad flow towards inequality and single worst misapplication of money flow in the economy, giving rise to the problem in the parent above. This is also a process that squeezes out the benefits of capitalism to people broadly in society.

I don't have a pat answer to solve that problem. Sometimes I wonder about a salary tax credit that looks something like an x% credit for the amount of money an employer pays in wages. It would have to be some fairly out-of-the-box proposal that shifts enough wages as a proportion of gross profits that would have an effect without fundamentally breaking down the way that capitalism does lead to benefits.

Why is there to begin with? Seemed random when I first noticed it.
> its not a material fact or a supportable conclusion

Of course, the same argument apply to the axiom that the rights don't exist.

However, there is a lot of weight to the argument that there is a common list of universally reprehensible wrongs (murder, rape, etc.). Inferring rights from those wrongs is reasonable and doesn't require much in way of explaining where they come from.

I'm not sure why people are so eager to disprove the existence of rights, to be honest. The wholesale embrace of moral nihilism seems empirically worse. Or at least, more conservatively, empirically untested and therefore risky.
They become less absurd in light of other abuses against civil rights.

~The 14th Amendment just says that blacks have equal rights to vote as whites. The idea that poll taxes or literacy tests or official intimidation while in transit to the polling places are somehow unconstitutional is and always has been... absolutely correct.~

In some counties, bearing a concealed firearm requires a permit issued by the sheriff. In some counties, the sheriffs do not issue any permits. In others, the sheriffs issue fewer permits to black people than the local demographic statistics would otherwise suggest.

Do you understand now why such subtle and apparently reasonable encroachments upon a right must be scrutinized so very closely?

Everybody would have standing instead of just the EPA, because really everybody is getting fucked. You think they're complaining now?
