But in this context, the issue becomes how much JS bundle weight it takes to cause a 0.5 second delay. And there are many other things that can slow down page load time (and especially perceived page load time) that either don't involve JS at all, or are not directly caused by the amount of JS that gets loaded.

You're missing my point, which is that $300 has a different impact on different people, which makes the punishment depend on your financial standing rather than on the offense. Yeah, the woman in the article is irresponsible. No, she should not have been fined $300 for speeding.

It's not USB-C. The same thing would happen with USB-A/B, or any other standard which provides power with a well-defined polarity. The mistake was in the simplest part of the standard: the pair of wires which carry the voltage reference (GND) and the main voltage (Vbus), a pair of wires which exist since the original USB standard, and in many many other standards (ever used a "PS/2" keyboard? guess what, two of the pins are GND and Vbus!).

As for cables fraying, the most common result is an open (an unconnected wire). If two of the wires get damaged at the same time, you might get a short (and the USB standard mandates that a short causes no damage to devices). But reversing a pair of wires? It's ridiculously unlikely that fray and tear on a cable not only severs a pair of wires, but also reconnects them backwards!

This is interesting historically, but as the article points out, none of this stuff really works on modern RGB displays that use integer intensities rather than 1-bit values.
I'm very surprised you're getting downvoted for this, since it's basic psychology, the basic human condition, and unequivocally correct. Do people really not understand the human condition? It's a very powerful thing once you come to grips with it and quantify its role in your life, and it was key in me shedding a lot of parts of my self that I did not want.

I personally believe it's important to accept it instead of trying to deny it, before you can progress toward the positive role you want from your life. How can you be good if you don't understand your ingrained propensity for bad? How can you control something you do not understand?

You should heed what this comment is saying and think about it, rather than try to be 'above' it. It's accepting yourself...
It's clear at this point I must have mis-understood his response. He's at a top tier school (CMU) so my guess is he knows what he's talking about. Apologies.
You have a gap of .1 tn (a hundred billion dollars) of spend over revenue, implying an annual deficit of that amount.

From what I read the Federal deficit was >$400 billion in 2015 and the majority of states and municipalities seem to run either at neutral or a slight deficit.

What am I missing here or how does the math work out?
Yeah, it also seems like a rather petty move by someone like Elon.

> One thing to keep in mind, they're young. If they save the extra money, they've got a loooong time for compound interest to work on those dollars.

But isn't that the exact opposite of what you want to happen? It you want to stimulate the economy, you want people to spend more money now. College graduates taking the money they save from reduced loan payments and putting it in a 401k doesn't do that, but giving a formerly unemployed person a job so they can buy new clothes and a car does.
Arguably, they intended to use them to defend themselves if they were attacked. (By humans, yes.) They were not hunting people down and assaulting them.

That being said, they were looking to defend themselves while illegally occupying a federal facility... but the particulars of that situation don't really reflect on the choice of weapon.
Yes, I think you'll find that the majority of U.S. citizens will vote down a tax increase, even if the intentions are good.

Someone else in this thread mentioned Theranos and while the two businesses are wildly different, I still think there's something to it: investors can be fooled by flashy presentations.

Use ... a ... hub.

If you're doing lab work, it's really easy to get weird potentials on various lines. I almost never plug anything like an Arduino directly into my laptop without a powered hub in between.

As others say, there's no use for this.

It would be really cool to have some kind of a bidirectional WYSIWYG for web design. Edit a text field in a Chromium window managed by Atom, and it makes the same change in your template file (or even JSX file). Edit something in your template, and the change is instantly painted to the browser window.

I know this wouldn't be trivial to implement, though.
> It's fascinating that nature has created human-level intelligence using blind randomness

Blind randomness plus tons of feedback ("natural selection" etc). Randomness alone, without feedback loops, could not make anything interesting even in a trillion years - that's the argument of the creationists, actually.

Congress should have never given up it's constitutional power to control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve (which is neither) should be audited and the backlash from the revelations should be used to push a revocation of the Federal Reserve Act which was passed under dubious circumstances by shady men connected to the European banking oligarchy, along with various other bad legislation pushed through by the same groups (that also pushed us into the world wars.)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Bankers are more the enemy of the people than terrorists, and just because Dimon and Blankfein need an extra 300mil bonus doesn't mean we should allow them to gut our economy. Unlike some of the placating bullshit I've seen people posting in this thread, the 07-08 crash was because of abuse, fraud, and lack of oversight, and we need to start sending the top people to jail. If not, then we are just going to have another recession, and another, and maybe a depression.

Adjusted for inflation rates are basically negative already anyway! Negative rates punish the middle class, the workers, the pensioners, and retirees, while funneling even more money to the already grotesquely wealthy uber-elite.
I use this Firefox add-on to edit text in gvim from time to time:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/its-all-text/...

But I don't see the advantage of editing text areas with atom, which presents an extremely similar text editing experience compared to the experience the text area already provided. On the other hand, moving to Vim to edit a particuarly long comment or what have you makes more sense because I get to use the crazy keybindings I've drilled into my fingers.
I love this. There used to be a TextMate plugin for Mac browsers that did the same thing (well, without the live sync).

Am going to use this for some aged web forms at work that have pretty hostile UX and that I often c&p into rather than bother trying to type.

Why? Striving for something is actually fun for some people. (Unless I am not getting your point exactly.)
People use github because it's free hosting first and foremost. 99% of projects on github are never fetched or forked by third parties, let alone maintained, so i'm not sure about what you're complaining about. Are you complaining about people publishing crap on free hosting ? nobody forces you to use all that code.
Let me get this straight: you call the article I've linked to a troll thread yourself, but me complaining about this troll article reaching front page is "pompously posturing that I'm better than the rest of HN"? Is this what you are saying?

Would love to have Elon comment on this story so we can have both sides of the story.
There are two ways they could implement this, and one would be to whitelist[0] who could buy Ads on those keywords. The other is they could make them ineligible for AdWord buys and supply their own selected ads when the words were used. But that would mean they wouldn't need to give out grants since those Ads would be "free" to the NGOs.

They (Google) haven't historically been good at keeping bad actors out of AdWords (see the FTC penalty for showing Canadian Pharmacy ads[1]) but I could believe that things have improved since then.

The challenge is how it was phrased, "Grants to buy AdWords" which implies that the AdWords are already buyable, (which could be pretty easily tested with an AdWords account), and the difficulty the Ads crawler has with discovering pernicious redirects, how could Google even know that they were selling an AdWord buy to a Jihadist?

But if it is possible, one has to assume that it happens right? These folks are pretty savvy with the Internet. And if it happens, we all know Google's Ad system is a bidding system right? So everyone bids, highest bidder gets the Ad at the next lowest Bid rate [2]. So funding a competitor to bid on these Ads will, by definition, force up the price paid for the Ads. Which effectively translates to Google improving its advertising revenue by funding an alternate bidder.

[0] which only works if you are able to keep the bad actors off the list.

The problem is that darwinism keeps biting us in the ass. It simply is not a recipe for orderly transitions between older and newer technologies, which ends up costing companies more, not less. One of the primary issues is always: who wants to work for free on software that is 10-15 years old ? Nobody. So, unless the software finds a sponsor of some sort that is willing to pay developers to fix bugs, make incremental improvements, and other very non-glamorous chores, it's going to languish as soon as it falls out of fashion and/or the primary developers move on to something else. And, what small company that is not in the developer tools business is going to want to finance the ongoing cost of keeping such software working ? Not very many.

I'm not saying that OSS shouldn't exist. What I'm saying is that OSS has serious effects upon how software is developed, and I don't think that these effects were taken as seriously has they should have been. Everyone saw "free", and it was game-over. There's a lot of good with OSS, but there was also a lot of good with commercial software that we seem to want to ignore. One of those good things was more stability.
Show HN: Instagloss – Save time with variable summarization
Of course I love football, and would love to see that tape.

But let's distill this down to the simplest facts:

Guy tapes a TV show off the TV. Wants to make money from this. But since he doesn't own the rights to the show, he can't. (You're allowed to tape to "time shift" and watch later, that's been well established.)

Now it just so happens he wants to make a LOT of money. According to the article he was offered $30,000. He said no. So he still gets to keep the tape for himself, and the owners of the content still get to control how its sold and marketed.

End of very simple story.

Obviously you can, because real per-capita GDP has more than doubled in forty years. The country is still growing explosively, and can obviously support much higher social security payouts, especially considering we are still spending 1/2 to 2/3 as much on defense which is mostly a monetary black hole (your returns on investment there are probably the lowest of all state expenditures).

So it is important to remember that social security is not a black hole. Some people like my dad exclusively invests his, but for a lot of people it is immediately spent in the economy. The greatest economic stimulus you can produce is direct cash injection into the poor - it produces immediate real goods demand to be met.

It is also why I always go crazy when people talk about "affording" a universal basic income. It is wealth redistribution, not destruction. Wealth is destroyed when it is dedicated to unproductive things, like means testing or incredible bureaucracy. The only risk UBI has is that you redistribute enough that the massive demand increase from the poor does not offset the slowdown of investment at the high end. Its a progressive curve - its not about affordability, it is about finding the maxima that matches peak social stability, equality, and individual prosperity against economic growth and investment.

The difference is the source of the funds.

I'm suggesting the Federal Reserve do this -- not the federal government. The federal government can't create money, so the stimulus effect is lessened.

"Encryption, Digital Signatures, Authenticated Key Exchanges, etc.":

If you just want to get data from A to B over the network, TLS 1.2 (but upgrade to 1.3 when it's ready). For an app(lication) where you control the code on both ends, with additional certificate pinning. Probably still worth hiring an expert to make sure you're doing it right but you have less chance of shooting yourself in the foot than if you try and roll your own.

Sometimes I think if cryptographers wrote libraries that the rest of us could use and "just work", security worldwide would improve. Bernstein's NaCl and the derived libsodium is a good starting point though.

I spend quite a lot of time editing in Chrome, especially Github and StackOverflow, and found myself doing the following:

* Start editing in Chrome

* It becomes long so copy-paste to Atom and edit there

* Copy-paste back to Chrome

To avoid this, I have then be using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wasavi/dgogifpkoil... to edit directly in Chrome but thought that it would be better to use a real editor rather than a subset, which is why I created this package.

I have an editor opened almost all the time, so pressing a shortcut and being able to edit directly there without copy-pasting around is actually saving me some time compared to my previous workflows.

7% return is a goal. It consists of total (not real, inflation adjusted) returns from interest and dividends and capital appreciation.

"7% interest", i.e. amount paid back from money you borrow out, is pretty rare these days. CDs did pay >8% in the 80s and junk and troubled sovereign might still pay that much.

With lower inflation, some pension funds are targeting a lower return.
Costa Rica and Panama happily take America retirees. America retirees have a guarantee income, they don't cause trouble and health care is affordable in those countries. The retirees should learn spanish but there is no reason they could not stay in their own enclaves, if they had too.
That problem is one I'm firmly coming to grips with. I'm actually considering looking into school in another country where its cheaper and they have more need, but I'm afraid that nearing 30 is too old for most institutions (especially on the pay part). I've yet to see almost any resources or help for people later in life wanting to go to school. I'm enjoying my debt-free living and not living anywhere near the level to what I make but I'm afraid of losing out on opportunities in the future, especially with my want to travel extensively.
The Ways You Are Networking Wrong
Whenever I see install instructions like this:

OS X

brew install cairo pkg-config
go get github.com/ungerik/go-cairo

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev pkg-config
go get github.com/ungerik/go-cairo

... I always think there should be a "default" instruction page linked to somewhere that explains what brew and apt-get are (and other things). I mean, I know you can't be expected to go to the lengths of explaining this stuff for every single project, but this is the kind of thing that will inspire the next generation. So maybe we, as a community could come up with a, "you don't know what this is? look here..." kind of page that people can put on their github projects.
Basically the problem with Safe Harbor is Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and Executive Order 12333. The cumulative effect is that all people non US persons are legitimate targets of mass surveillance under US law.

The fix for Safe Harbor was negotiated with Department of Commerce who has no authority to talk about reforming this policy.

Options were

1. Immediately end the ability of US based digital companies to do business in Europe

2. Cave completely and have a few months of normalcy before Europe Commission kills the deal.
Edit: for those of you saying 'yes': who decides what is "fair"?

This applies to basically everything that a society does. Even in small local elections you have decisions where a significant portion of the voters don't get their way, and those sorts of elections tend to be over things that people largely agree on (paving roads and plowing snow and ...).
