I'd also argue that if IIA exists, then it might be a good thing. For instance, if a voting population appears to have a clear preference, but then produces a cycle when a new candidate is introduced, it might just be an indication that the first set of candidates were lousy, the voters felt they were compromising, and the first set of candidates didn't represent voter preferences well enough.
Very useful. I'm currently using ~/.ssh/config. I gave nickname for the servers and all parameters are in the config:

Stop publically calling Edward Snowden a traitor, stop trying to pass nonsensical cybersecurity legislation through congress, remove the ridiculous ban on working for an intelligence agency if you've smoked Marijuana in the past year, have a quicker and more transparent background investigation process for security clearences, and start winning some goodwill with the developer communities if you want help with political conflicts.

There have never been very many operational Tu-160 bombers in service. The Tu-160 is focused on the standoff weapon role, and is ideally meant to delivering tactical ordinance while enemy air defense is still in effect. Standoff weapons are expensive, even compared to "smart" conventional weapons.

Tu-95 is a big dumb bomber much in the way the B-52 is; since it also has/is getting the standoff capability, it's hard to argue the purpose of the Tu-160.

A lot of the newer bombers were built with the nuclear role in mind; in reality the world went in the direction of smart conventional weapons instead. For that role, aircraft like the Tu-95 and BUFF are more ideal, as they can just act as a large "bomb truck" and drop a large quantity of guided conventional munitions very efficiently once air defenses are suppressed.
Arguably, Heller was decided wrongly, and will be overturned by a future Court. 5-4 decisions often suck.
Where I live, pubs were hellbent against smoking bans. Not a single pub was brave enough to go smoke free alone. They all scrambled to install outdoor beer gardens, but not all could do so for lack of outdoor space. Then when the smoking bans were introduced their patronage went up, as did their profits. Sure all their customers before the ban were smokers, but that was putting off non-smokers from becoming new customers.
The link no longer works.
The B-52 was intended to carry out the airborne nuclear deterrent role, and therefore accrue a colossal number of flying hours. But of course after about 1992 they stopped flying quite so much.

The B-1 was designed for a role (low altitude nape of the earth bombing) that was obsolete before they worked out the bugs in the jet (Russian interceptor and fighter aircraft got look-down shoot-down capability). The B-1 was kept alive because of its electronic warfare capabilities, but efficiency of the bomb trucks matter more than high-speed delivery in a hostile radar environment these days.
> by us not being opportunistic feeders.

Is that the only description of "us" ?

We can be opportunistic feeders, but we can be kind and affectionate towards each other and towards other species.

Given the state of our technological development, It's now a matter of choice.

We choose to be in a certain way (eg. opportunistic feeders) according to our ideology and system of beliefs.

But technically, we don't have to do that anymore. We are now technologically advanced enough to actually be able to make that jump. Or, rather, we are ready to start making that jump and we can improve the technology until we've made it.

We have to, in order to evolve to the next level as a species...

I posted this comment last night when this story was on HN for the first time:

I've come to expect this kind of painfully unhelpful commentary from the rag that is the NYT. On par with their myopic mainstream-ism, this article's purpose is to confuse and pacify readers with a narrative that states we can continue on our current government's course, if only we were to allow for a minor change of our political system's vote-counting partitions. We cannot save or rekindle democracy with such pathetic incremental changes, nor are "we" as citizens empowered to make such changes anyway-- purge this article's idiotic train of thought. To be explicit: changing who gets elected via more neutral partitioning won't change a single thing, because the titanic problems of American "democracy" (in realistic terms, oligarchy or perhaps autocracy) occur post-election outcome, and occur regardless of whether it is Democrats or Republicans who win.

Redistricting won't save democracy; at best, algorithmic or "mathematical" (a fool's term for neutral and objective) redistricting will allow for the voters to pick candidates that are proportionally and geographically anchored to their districts. Geographical picking of representatives isn't broken beyond repair within the political system, nor is the physical counting of votes to determine which representatives win, though the electronic voting systems leave the latter terrifyingly unverifiable and unquestionably anti-democratic.

The slaughter of democracy in our time is an intentionally engineered result of post-election corruption as effected by bribes of lobbyists, raping the power of the vote in the name of capital flow to those that are already morbidly obese with riches. You cannot have democracy when money is allowed to have a coercive power that eclipses any feasible democratic comeuppance.

Let the banishment of money from the election component of political activity exist as an iron law in any new democracy which is established. That would be the start of having a fighting chance for democracy, which America has long since discarded.
It could matter, depends what you are doing. But yes your larger point that they can be useful sometimes is true. I would generally recommend that tiny types should be used sparingly when there is a good reason rather than most or all of the time like the OP seemed to be suggesting.

Show HN: Kipplr – Draw abstract images in seconds
Hi! I made this opensource single page application to master javascript language and in general programming.
I had really much fun experimenting with capabilities (and limits) of canvas with this project.
This is the source code: https://github.com/gioblu/Kipplr

After a lot of testing i found this tool able to render 10.000x10.000px (or more with certain browsers like firefox) abstract pictures in seconds. Images before impossible to be created by hand with photoshop or illustrator now can be rendered with Kipplr!! So can be used to generate huge unique pictures (1mx1m) in seconds! I hope you will like!

This is the missing part for me as well. I run DNS internally and it works just fine for IPv4, but everything is using SLAAC so I can't have AAAA records.

The only solution I've heard so far is to have a client on each machine that would update the DNS server with the new address, which sounds terrible.

I'm just about at the point that I'm just going to install DHCPv6, but last I heard not every OS supported it?
A common optimization in a capability system is to allow a remote client to create a new revokable membrane living on the same machine as the target object, thus avoiding introducing a new network hop due to the proxy. Said client receives a separate capability to revoke the new wrapper, which it can exercise later. Or, the client might supply the object host with some other instructions on when revocation should occur.

Macaroons can probably be seen as an implementation of this.
The hilarious thing is that the KC-46 is basically a means of keeping the Boeing 767 production line open and operating and producing airplanes even though Boeing has replaced it with the 777 and 787 for commercial customers.

...the only solution [for curbing ISIS recruiting] was to engage American technology companies in blocking or taking down militants’ websites, videos and encrypted communications.

Assuming the websites and videos for propaganda purposes are used for sympathizers to engage in discussion, as opposed to being pure brochures, surely keeping them up is most desirable for recon purposes.

I've suggested this on the ACME list, actually; allowing people to put their ACME account public keys in DNS, rather than the random-per-transaction challenge specified right now, which is quasi-unusable.

The problem, apparently, is that CA forum rules require that a random challenge be used. Of course this doesn't make much sense in the context of ACME, where you have a private key identifying the user account. But this obstructs the specification of a deterministic challenge for DNS, alas.

Trivial might be a stretch. Try talking to some random people who aren't hackers/diy techies.

The problem is not all systems are *nix. Windows doesn't enforce the <1024 port restriction. The advantage of using port 443 I suppose is that it's so commonly used it'll probably (maybe) be tied up with one service or another when it comes to any important host. I guess. But really it's all guesswork and hope when it comes to deciding how to validate host control.

I also have dictionaries that don't have an entry for "kanji".

1. The loss of a certain % of pens is trivial to any non-tiny business.

2. Most people dont like work. They do it because they have to in order to pay rent, bills and buy food and whatnot, and deep down they resent their jobs to some degree.

3. 'Stealing' s few pens can relieve some of this resentment as even though it is completely trivial you at least feel as though you are breaking the rules and getting one over to some degree, or at least just getting some free pens.

4. I would posit that the benefits of this pressure release greatly outweigh the cost of the pens.

> Not only do I not think that is true, I think there's real danger that people conclude that more risk is better

I don't think people in general consider more risk being better. Rather, higher reward often comes with higher risk. People aim for higher reward obviously have to accept the risk associated with it. It just so happens that, as you said, SV is the place to be for the tech industry.

> SV is in many ways risk averse. The days when any kid could get a million dollars are over. Almost every success story seems to happen on a background of brand name colleges, companies, incubators or investors.

I don't argue for or against the risk averse nature of SV. And of course, knowing the right people helps get your foot in the door everywhere. Undeniably though, for variety of reasons, there exists an ecosystem in SV that breeds the creation of hi tech businesses. If you want to make a name for yourself, being in SV makes a lot of sense. It isn't easy to replicate that elsewhere.

Just look at the list of car companies that set up shop in SV in the last few years:

I'm guessing that you got downvoted because the logic is ridiculous: LPRs are to be feared because bombs can be attached to them. That is true of every technology. Also, if somebody has your plate number and knows your driving patterns well enough to leave a VBIED there - they could find a much more certain and easily executed method of assassination.

Eh, I think there are some very valid arguments to be made for eating lower on the food chain. I am not a big fan of moral" arguments per se. Those folks saying they are vegetarian because they think eating animals is somehow cruel or something are basically saying that if they can't hear it scream, its suffering doesn't count. We have scientific proof that plants "scream" (give off a pulse) when attacked and also communicate chemically with their neighbors when infested with insects, etc. So plants do have some kind of awareness of being physically assaulted and they communicate in some manner about this awareness, it is just a form of communication that human ears cannot detect. Saying "if I cannot hear it scream, it is all okey dokey" opens up all kinds of ugly questions (like "Is it okay to be a serial killer if you are deaf?")

Anyway, some good arguments to get most of your calories from things lower on the food chain:

1) Ultimately, all calories start as sunlight. Eating lower on the food chain makes our resources go further because the higher up the food chain you go, the more sunlight is concentrated in those few calories.

2) Health. There are several metrics which are negatively impacted by eating higher on the food chain. Toxic chemicals that negatively impact human health tend to concentrate in the fats of animals. Eating vegetarian tends to reduce your exposure to a toxic world. You are also more likely to get serious diseases, like e. coli and certain parasitic infections, from meat than from plants. Most food poisoning comes from meat or dairy, not plants.

3) Cost. Diet for a Small Planet* documented the fact that every country on the planet (at the time it was written) had the ability to produce enough food from traditional, mostly vegetarian, diets to feed all their people. Famine was due to political things, like civil war, and the fact that meat was too costly for poor families who had become accustomed to it and no longer ate the traditional, mostly vegetarian, local diet.

I am not a vegetarian. I am someone who eats more vegetarian meals than I did growing up and I have at times been accused of being a vegetarian by my meat-and-potatoes relatives. I also relatively rarely eat beef simply because I am really picky about the quality of my beef. I probably eat less meat on average than the typical American and I am satisfied with the healthfulness of my diet these days. I think a less-meat diet would do most American good. A meatless diet is not really critical and even the author of "Diet for a Small Planet" later relented on her vegetarian stance and repositioned it as "One less hamburger" in a follow-up book, indicating that we stretch the planets resources by reducing our excessive consumption of meat without giving it up entirely.
