It is not equivalent. Holocaust victims have described things that actually happened to them or their families, they are claiming things as historic fact. It is absolutely possible, and very cruel, to call them liars. Scientists advocating the theory of evolution are 100% aware that it is a theory. The word itself includes an understanding and acknowledgement of it not being fact, but a theory. Unless you try to claim them believing in their theory is a lie, you cannot call them liars, since they are not proposing facts.

Further, you ignore the part about the effects it has on the audience. Making other people believe that jews and other holocaust victims have successfully perpetrated a lie about "their race" across decades, makes them more likely to be radicalized and thus more likely to lash out against "others". Do note how in Germany even today fire-bombings against residences of foreigners and particularly refugees occur particularly in the german regions with higher-than-average occurences of neo nazis.

It is interesting that this question spawned such criticism/discussion as to whether it should be done in Javascript or not, but not as to why the OP did not know such basic language operators in the first place.

Alright, he did not know them and hence asked (thats after all what a forum is there for) but then simply explain it and carry on. Discussing the "evilness" of basic negation and decrement operators is useless and counter-productive.

If you showed Dropbox's RPC API to a REST advocate, they'd probably frown and tell you it's a terrible API because it's not RESTful. You could try to argue that it's not so bad for various reasons, but you still wouldn't be able to win the argument against an ardent REST advocate.

But at the end of the day, Dropbox is probably going to be just fine with their RPC API. So what gives? Why should Dropbox care about REST? How would you sell the CEO on it?

I'd love to read a follow up blog post called "What does REST buy you anyway".

> Holocaust victims have described things that actually happened to them or their families, they are claiming things as historic fact. It is absolutely possible, and very cruel, to call them liars.

Ok, let's use a different example then. It's not illegal to say that Stalin was a good man than never harmed anyone, even though it's incredibly wrong (Stalin killed possibly even more people than Hitler), and equally disrespectful (assuming that at least some of the Stalin's victims or their relatives survived). Why the difference?

> Scientists advocating the theory of evolution are 100% aware that it is a theory

Wow. I wouldn't think that as someone who objects denying the holocaust would use exactly the most stupid argument used by those who deny evolution.

It's called a theory not because scientists don't think evolution is a fact, but because it's an explanation of how things happen. Evolution is a fact, to the same extent that gravity is a fact (i.e. the prediction than an apple will fall down if your release it) - it might be wrong e.g. if we live in the Matrix, but then all of the reality is "wrong". Even with gravity, you have gravity (things fall) and the theory of gravity (a longer explanation why things fall).

"It is of course not mentioned that initially the Nazis simply wanted the Jews to leave Germany."

This is often quoted wrong, and makes it look like Hitler wanted them to survive, just out of Germany.

Hitlers idea in the beginning was to send Jews where they could not survive, to show that they only can survive as a race when they use other races for their benefit. The plan changed several times, where to send them, and ultimatly the plan was to send them beyond Siberia after Germany would have colonized the east. With losing the war and losing the opportunity to let them die in Siberia, and an effective concentration camp system in place the plan was changed to killing all.

I happen to live in one of these countries (which name is easy to find out, continue reading...). While I certainly do not deny the Holocaust, on the contrary, I'm against these kind of laws. Should politicians decide what the historic truth is? because it can go both ways.

So in that country of mine, some politician (well I should say the president of that country) wanted to force school teachers to make pupils learn that colonialism "had positive effects on the colonized people". So where does it stop? shouldn't we let this to researchers or specialists to decide whether or not that's true? why should a some politician,who isn't an historian, be able to decide in their place?

Kotlin is a very nice language especially from the Android developer perspective. It's so concise that you may not even use an IDE having only a text editor instead.

In addition to Anko, there is also a similar (but much smaller) library that I maintain - https://github.com/zserge/anvil

It is also a DSL for defining view layouts in code, much like Annko. The major difference is that Anvil supports data binding and has reactive nature (think of it as of react.js for android).
True. But it's much harder to block a low-frequency sound like a thumping bass, than a high-frequency sound like a crying infant. Thicker walls etc. would take care of the sound from crying infants, but can it ever get rid of a thumping bass? Harsher punishments might be necessary for low-frequency sounds.

I think it was Carl Sagan who said that "soft sciences" are actually "cargo cult sciences".

Out of your ten people, two are astrology haters and respond that everything is false, two are astrology nuts and respond that everything is true, two respond at random because they can't believe you are bothering them with such bullshit, two respond at random because they think you are CIA agent trying to read their mind, two respond mostly true because horoscopes are deliberately vague and they will find confirmation for most of the claims if they try hard enough.

So you get 55% true. With sufficiently large sample size p-value goes down and you claim that astrology is valid.

How does it necessarily amount to hate speech? One could deny the holocaust, for example, because one is a solipsist and believes that no humans apart from one exist. Since every other human, and by corollary the jews, are solely a figment of one's imagination, no one was ever killed, which means as a corollary there was no holocaust.

What, you're going to ban solipsism now?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. When I asked if FreeBSD and/or Linux could keep up, I was referring to the forwarding rates across four 1 GbE interfaces, like what the higher end SSGs came with. I certainly didn't mean to imply that an x86 BSD box could perform right up there with a QFX10000, for example.

Now that I'm thinking about it, though, Arista runs a Linux kernel on their switches. Or they did anyways, the last time I was out there being briefed; it was a Fedora Core 3 install (yes, it's been a few years), if memory serves, so it must be possible anyways. No idea if they're still doing that but, at the very least, they were at some point.

A few month later they had tripled the number of tables they had, where packed, and the food and service was dire. Haven't been back since.

Germany has a strong industrial base and a large amount of SMEs. This makes it easier to grow.

Germany made some (good) lucky decisions in the 90s, limiting salary growth and cutting social welfare and pensions which helped with growth in the last decade. This seems to come to an end, Germany will be much less competitive in the next decade compared to other European countries.

Because even if there are "Stalin deniers", their numbers are not remotely large enough to have an appreciable effect.

I disagree, but am happy to agree to disagree. Regardless of whom of us is correct on that count, there remains the fact that denial of the theory of evolution is unlikely to successfully radicalize an appreciable amount of people.

> They mention a CEO who, while exercising, "looks at e-mail, surfs the web, watches tv" [paraphrase, not direct quote]. No kidding, everyone does that! There's music playing in the gym, there are TVs in the gym, and who the hell doesn't glance at their phones to check emails once in a while? This literally describes the behavior of 90% of the people at the gym.

If you're able to read, talk or otherwise focus on other tasks you're not exercising anywhere near hard enough to make it worthwhile.

These guys probably aren't really working all that hard. If you have time to read emails and surf the web then you should exercise harder.

True if you’re doing cardio exercise. If you’re doing some kind of weight program for strength / muscle building then you get best results in terms of results achieved / time expended (according to r/bodyweightfitness & r/fitness FAQs) by resting for 5 minutes or so in between each set of an exercise so that your muscles can replenish their stored energy reserves. You can use some of that time to do a different exercise, but you probably still have some downtime left: The r/bodyweightfitness program leaves 90s inbetween each set of paired exercises. That’s time to read a few emails, surf the web etc.
Karen Horney - Neurosis and Human Growth

The book attempts to describe the complete process of neurotic personality development: how and why it starts, how it affects a person's behavior and life choices. It's full of references to real-life cases Horney encountered as a psychoanalyst.

Many concepts presented in this book where a revelation to me, and I believe it significantly deepened my understanding of myself and human psychology in general.

I think anyone could benefit from reading this, because even if you're not neurotic at all, you will inevitably meet someone who is.

I'm very happy to see an article like this on HN. This is the type of stuff I'm very interested in lately.

The sources I've found most helpful so far are the books _Mindfulness in Plain English_ and _Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English_.

Very briefly, we pretty much already understand the concepts that will allow us to take control of our minds and see what's going on clearly, but those are concepts, when what is needed is experience. Meditative states help us gain experiential knowledge, and in the process, we rearrange the plumbing in the basements of our minds. For example, having thoroughly experienced impermanence in meditation, we naturally stop wanting to freeze time or cling to things.

I seem to like to make metaphors about fire. In one sense, I see these ideas as possibly helping put out a global wildfire that's been raging out of control since the beginning of mankind: people suffer, and, not knowing how to handle their suffering, harm themselves and others, and we respond in anger, when it would be better if we responded with compassion. In another sense, we want to get the fire of compassion lit, to get enough people to awaken that others can see that it's an attainable goal.

It's nothing less than jailbreaking our minds. We have a lot of evidence it's possible, just very difficult. But the more people are looking at it, the less subtle these ideas will seem, and the path will hopefully become more and more straightforward. I hope that someday, waking up the way the Buddha did will be a rite of passage for children.
