>Do you have a better idea?

I think almost any idea is a better idea than that.

>It sounds like you're trying to make a "taxes are theft" argument against fines for committing theft which is pretty hard to take seriously.

I'm not making an argument that taxes are theft. I'm really just trying to illustrate that while there may not be an institutional profit motive for governmental bureaus, there is a personal and/or professional profit motive for whoever gets to spend that money. A lot of young people seem to think that it's always better to have the government providing a service because "they care about more than just profit" or something similar.

Moving the money between a third-party contractor that provides a service bought by the government into the actual government itself doesn't necessarily mean anything good is going to happen. You don't have to look very far, either into the past or into the map, to see that; in many countries, the absolute richest people are politicians and bureaucrats.

It's a lot easier to fire a contractor that does a bad job than it is to replace a government bureau that does a bad job. I think it's important to convey that bureaucrats can and sometimes do still get a large amount of money, and that can affect their motives and decisions just as easily as it can for anyone else. These positions deserve scrutiny and oversight too. The people running the private sector are not that different from the people running public services.

How to set up cron job for WP-Filebase Pro? What cron job setting shall I use?
I don't agree. It all depends on the press and other opinion makers/influencers.

If you had every day reports of people that died in car accidents. If you had their stories told, if you heard about their orphaned children, each and every day. You can create as much panic as with anything else.
I can even bet on that if the day that big car companies wants driverless cars comes, you will see that panic created by the press. People will vote for the banning of the old cars and they will not even understand how people of our time are not completely paralyzed by terror each time we go to the road.

There is people that panics about vaccination and vaccination is something positive.

The sensationalist reporting of terrorist attacks is what makes them so successful.
Looks nice. How do I add additional organizations after the first one? Can I send an invite to other organization managers to make themselves available for ZenHub?

Ok, but what does that have to do with the (apparently new) idea of calling cancer "multiple diseases"?
Offering up a loaf of bread pre-sliced isn't rocket science either

True, and trying to sell a "bread slicing" service, as a separate product to selling bread, is very obviously going to fail as soon as bakers buy bread slicing equipment. f.lux are trying to sell bread slicing, not bread.

Driverless busses would allow for:

Not a bad overhead view of KD overall, although I winced at the misspelling of the Krebs cycle by an M.D.

By that logic, all taxation is inherently morally wrong.

Compulsory taxation, yes.

I think that should be enough to tell you that your view is unlikely to be correct.

I think the word you're looking for is 'unpopular' ;)

It seems we're largely agreed on the proper purpose of Government - to protect citizens from each other, that is, to protect their rights. But don't you see it as wrong for the Government to violate those very rights in order to fund itself?

Do you want a government paid for entirely by voluntary contributions? Good luck with getting enough money that way.

Actually, funding a Government isn't that expensive. If you pare Government back to core functions, you don't need much money. In New Zealand, we (meaning the Libertarianz) estimated it at around $2,500 / working adult / year. That (back at the turn of the 21st century) would get you courts, police, Parliament, defense, embassies and the glue to run it all.

Then you need a way of raising the money. Probably, most working people can afford $2,500 per year to keep civilisation running, especially if they're not paying any other taxes. Maybe a poll tax? Seems reasonable that those paying also do the voting. Could simply solicit donations, or maybe run a lottery.

But no: you couldn't run a socialist country that way. Which is sort of the point :)

It's not just shifting emissions, those emissions are decreased, significantly in places like California with lots of non-carbon electricity, and almost entirely eliminated in places like Norway which have a surplus of clean energy.

And there is a clear path to eliminating the remaining emissions, unlike in an internal combustion vehicle.
They were hiding the risk, both from the purchases and the ratings agencies.

BUT - and this is pretty important - the ratings agencies were negligent in their rating methodology. Intelligent buyers could see the problems.

The Chinese launderers are putting into SF property. In August 2015, 35% of new property in CA was bought by the Chinese (80% in Irvine alone).

If the Yuan weakens to USD, the Chinese have less buying power in the U.S. for laundering, and existing launderers will be incentivized to pull out (sell).

Ask HN: Getting back into programming with a hacker’s mindset?
I taught myself to code (everything from Visual Basic to Assembly Language) as a teenager in the 1990s, but have had a couple of decades off because life happened. I’d like to get back into it now, but things have changed a lot.

I learn better by experimenting with other people’s code than by a textbook gradually taking me through improvements to “hello world”. I have some ADHD-like aspects to my personality, so I need to see results quickly to be able to sustain my momentum.

I’m looking for recommendations of textbooks, online tutorials, or easy-to-get-to-grips-with open source projects that encourage a hacker/circuit-bender mindset. Arduino seems spot on, but I’m more interested in pure software, especially on a commercially viable platform like Android (although I’ve been a bit put off by the convoluted Android Studio IDE), so I guess Java would be the best language.

I would ideally like to avoid having to learn to navigate the ins-and-outs of an overly involved compiling process, a complicated IDE, or loads of SDKs. I want to be able to get straight to the coding.

There are a couple of things that really interest me, so bonus points if material relates to one of these in some way: agent-based modelling, simple iterative evolutionary processes, and simple AI (e.g. non-instructed collision detection).

Any pointers very gratefully accepted.
What I find strange is why they developed an iOS version at all, given the restrictions. They could have provided the top-selling Android version. I had to give my money to some other clone, I would have much rather given it to the innovators.
About 2000 elderly die of starvation every year, and about 30-40,000 people die in traffic. There are many cases in which the government doesn't have its priorities straight, this is not one of them.

It was government funding via DARPA that led private companies to work on self-driving cars. Google simply hired to two winning DARPA Grand Challenge teams. The Internet is another example showing that the government is quite capable, and often necessary in driving technology forward.

If you're talking about climate change, it seems quite distracting to think about animal suffering. The focus then should be on making food production more ecologically sound. It would also follow that if we make animal suffering ecologically sound, then we shouldn't care as much anymore, and instead redirect society's very finite energy and attention to other issues.

This is like when people argue that death penalty is bad because it's so expensive. Then it would follow that their argument becomes disarmed if we make the death penalty cheaper. Somehow it feels like they were really arguing that death penalty is evil, but they came up with a logistical argument. Logistical arguments have logistical solutions. This is a consequence of working backward from a feeling they wanted to justify -- the problem framing and solution are orthogonal to what they really want.

If we were to talk about climate change or ecological damage, our focus should really be on energy and pollution from industrial and transportation output.

I also think my point stands that I haven't heard of any clear and convincing moral or ethical framework for veganism. You're building a sideways case for climate change.

Why I am a programmer
Even though, /u/dang is correct, but I agree with you.

IMHO it's just more catchy and click-baity title, that's all (and you can down-vote me for this, but I genuinely believe author's intention was to simply catch more attention with such title). We can not start calling every electric car 'Tesla clone', every smartphone 'iPhone clone' etc. To escalate this discussion more author, in a true click-baity fashion, could have added word 'hack' somewhere in the title.

Just to rant, but lately in HN you can see rather a lot of articles, whose titles do not represent the content correctly (hopefully, like in this case, HN thread name is more correct than the article's title), which catch your eye by using some trendy trademark or word (like 'hack').

All in all, titles and use of words is a delicate discussion, which can be seen in many threads of HN.

> who can barely afford a used 2001 Toyota Camry

If you are poor, why would you be driving a guzzler like that? Aren't most used US Camrys V6es or at least 2.2-2.4L? I realize if you are poor you might not have much choice, but if I was poor I'd at least aim for an 1.4-1.6L car, even for a full sized model.

If more people made that decision, it would drive up demand and second hand for those cars, meaning it would be more attractive for new car buyers to go for them. For years now it's been the case that manufacturers launch 10 engines in some markets, but in the US they launch with a single guzzler engine option doing 25 mpg or even less.

I will not try to debate the relative merits of academia, because good or not, the question is whether we should allow data to be available to people outside of those institutions or place restrictions on the data we are releasing that limit it specifically to academic institutions even when we've already deemed it suitable for release.

We are also not talking about whether the average joe is equal to the average PhD, but whether it is right to actively exclude those who are willing and able to contribute to research because they are not part of the academic institutions.

Let us be clear in this case that we are talking of several TB's of data, well within the remit of a setup an intelligent employed professional on a decent salary is able to set up in his own home with a bit of money, time and work. Odds are if someone is able to obtain this data and store it properly, they have already passed a basic competency barrier that suggests they are able to contribute.

Now, it is a common academic myth that universities have access to the best resources and abilities, and that those outside do not. But I, for example, have now been employed with several bodies...arguably/theoretically with more/as much money, data and resources as many universities.

I'm not going to comment on fMRI or NMR, thats not my field, but i'm not going to discount intellectually curious people's ability to gain access to tools/machines outside the academy, and i'm not even touching upon grey/black methods of doing so, which in computing can mean often that those outside academia can often bring more power/insight to problems than those inside.

If cars ever got sufficiently good at driving, one could make them much less crash-proof, thereby saving much more than $4B/yr in energy costs by making them lighter. They're much heavier than they were 30 years ago.

Also, keep in mind that car crash victims on average have many more expected years of life ahead of them than the average heart attack victim.

Also, we have a fairly clear path ahead of us for doing this, afaik the same can't be said about curing heart disease.
I find this interesting, but a bit too complex.

As a hardcore JavaScript programmer I make use of clusters or spawn child process to handle "actors" and I think that is much easier to reason about.

To be honest I didn't mean to troll I just know very little about modern sailing, but I'm truly in awe of individuals who have what it takes to attempt that kind of an extreme adventure.

Never the less, and perhaps it's my American bias coming through here, but I am astonished to discover that some adventure sailors travel great distances without even a single AK-47 on board. In my imagination a revolver wouldn't suffice as a deterrent since it can't be recognized as clearly at a distance, and since many pirates are ex-military they may not be particularly afraid of a pistol.

I personally wouldn't consider navigating the Mississippi delta in a boat at dusk without a shotgun, because there's more than just pirates to worry about, you've got paranoid drug runners looking for their drop zone, hell what about alligators.. it's illegal to harm one, but if a big one's somehow gotten on deck you better believe I'm reaching for my protection.

Car parks in the future (in front of apartment complexes, office complexes, shopping malls) will simply have power outlets.

This is already natural in cold climates where you can't leave your car at work or outside the apartment without plugging in your engine heater. I'd guess it's common in Alaska or parts of Canada (it is in e.g. North Scandinavia). It's not very expensive infrastructure.
I guess it might help with security of certain thins like full disk encryption. I think there are already devices used by law enforcement or hackers that that can steal disk encyption keys or information just by plugging them into any port with DMA access like firewire or express card. I would assume this could prevent that.
Driverless car technology will be an economic development like cars and factories. In the long run, the economic opportunity it will create is far bigger than the cost.
Mike is incorrect about this one. He is under the impression that replace by fee "RBF" was committed in Bitcoin Core and will ship with 0.12. In fact it is "opt-in RBF" that was committed: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015...

I mentioned this in a comment at medium.com.
It isn't fair to dismissively refer to their concern as the "same old complaint" and then link to a new story that is four days old for backing. Further, your link doesn't even sufficiently address their concern. In fact, it specifically mentions that poor weather is a challenge.

>This doesn’t mean all the problems with autonomous driving in bad weather are solved. Falling rain and snow can interfere with LIDAR and cameras, and safely driving requires more than knowing where you are on a map—you also need to be able to see those temporary obstacles.
The prices for the larger ones are ridiculous though. 800$ for a 5-bay NAS without HDDs is a lot. You could easily build 2 or more NASes with the same specs for that money.

Also, having used a Synology I think it's a niche product. It's too powerful for people who simply want to put files and backups on their network. But for people who like to tinker and control, it's too restricted. You can basically only install software that has been ported to Synology. Getting it to do automated tasks the way you want to can be annoyingly complicated. I would recommend it to an advanced customer, who needs features like Owncloud or VNP without having the burden to maintain a system.

There's definitely something amiss with a language if there's a list that long of compilers/transcoders whose sole purpose is to avoid writing code in the target language.

I don't think that's the reason why JS transpilers for so many languages exist. The reason isn't to avoid writing JS; it's to leverage JS's "runs in a browser" advantage. In fact, I don't believe anyone out there is writing code in one language and then compiling it to JS to run in production.
