That's the long story of the struggle for justice for women.

You seemed to say that gender injustice could only be perpetrated by some shadowy caricature "someone." I'm saying there is such a someone: the patriarchy.
Hold on. With status quo electronic communications in the 80s and most of the 90s, the government retained instant access to communications for investigative purposes, and no serious objections were raised --- just as nobody objects to the idea that the police, searching your house with a warrant, get instant access to letters you've left on your desk.

Instantaneity can't be the fulcrum of this debate, because it's been the norm since the beginning of English common law.

There has to be some other principle at stake that can argue against decryption backdoors. And I think there are such principles! But I think it's important that they be articulated carefully.

yes, you can: publish your docs as real web pages and not a link to the htmlpreview of a file inside your repo. That should fix the problem.

>it's clearly talking about steady state, not emergencies

I'm also clearly talking about steady state, not emergencies--that's what I meant by "routinely." Yes, taking breaks helps and so do rituals but it doesn't make the work go away or let you get home any sooner. My point is that some jobs always have a backlog or glut or work to catch up on. Usually this is because the company purposely under-staffs the position/department. However, I don't see these systemic issues as something the individual can change. They can merely cope or find a new job--neither of which provide an 'answer' as they headline implies. Healthy work habits are great, but it's no solution to simply being overworked.

Its not healthy to work 60 hours a week, always be on call, and neglect everything else in life other than your job. More importantly (in this context) its not good for business. Time off is good for productivity. Productivity isn't measured in hours.
Sorry, nobody gets a free pass or special treatment here, no matter how many points they may have.

Making contradictory statements, or provocatory statements without giving "the other side" argument is going to be perceived as support for that one particular viewpoint. That is what happened here, in many occurrences (you are encouraged to go read the thread in full). Those statements are what my posts, and those by others, sought to argue against.

So don't come around, way after things have settled, and attempt to reprimand someone for doing precisely what was intended while simultaneously exhibiting the exact behavior you perceived as inflammatory.
You just described ageism. They replace you with that new person who can go till they also burnout. I was in one job where the average stay was a little over 2 years. It was working in Student Life at college and you were expected to work the 8 AM - 4 PM M-F and have three nightly meetings and be on call 7 days a week 24 hours a day one week a month. If there were emergencies I would be working till 2 AM and I "COULD" call in late aka come in at 10 AM or else be viewed a slacker. After 3 years I couldn't hack it and they had dozens of applications to replace my position. Then they fired the whole team and just rehired. It is still that way 10 years later.
Great idea. Perhaps an AI that recognizes what we eat from a cell phone photo and tracks nutrition.

Ok now the reply button shows up for this comment, weird, because before it didn't.

Anyway. You have a valid point, but are we to stop discussion of all potential events that may occur in the future because it may appear a inappropriate to some?

No study has suggested that anyone can just "turn lesbian" you are right, but that is before the current study was released and its impact measured on the masses. Why am I not allowed to think and speculate about what may happen as a result of this study?

The way forward is not to lean on women to do huge amounts of uncompensated labour, the return of which flows to someone else.
I am generally inclined to agree with your last point, however it is possibly to be wealthy but to have very little liquidity. It has been the case that folks in the US who are on a fixed income (e.g. Social Security or disability) end up losing their home simply because they can't pay their property taxes and eat at the same time. It's rare but it has happened and will continue to happen as long as property taxes remain the large source of revenue that they are for state and local governments.
You touch on something important.

"Do them because you want to, and not because of some other goal like money attention, rewards, etc."

This is an important preliminary step, toward productive mania, I believe. It's not clear though how to induce this. Are we really in control of what we find intrinsically motivating?

Let's say I have a programming project I'm working on. I'm excited about it, but only moderately so. I have a goal of turning it into a business, and making a moderate passive income from it. How can I turn this decent energy and motivation, into something explosive?

It would seem that I need to muster some intrinsic motivation, some desire to work on the project just for the sake of working on it, not for completing it, or making a business from it. I'm not sure how to accomplish that, or if it's even really possible when you're doing something that isn't entirely novel and new.

It's easy when something is new - You're intrinsically motivated to pursue it because it's, novel and exciting. But when you've done something before, it's less simple to find that intrinsic motivation.
The forecast high temps for Montreal this weekend are -5F/-21C and 0F/-18C. The forecast high temps for Vancouver, BC this weekend are 48F/9C and 49F/11C. I suspect this is a bigger contributor to housing prices than "money laundering" -- it's one of the only places in Canada with a reasonable climate.
I agree that the people doing this are most likely low status males (aka "creepy") who we are socially programmed to dislike. In contrast, the coworker who gets the girl at work is clearly not a low status male (by virtue of getting the girl).

Do you have any principle to distinguish these cases, or are you just aligning yourself against low status people in order to raise your own status?
That one yes. Many people including the FSF described it as "spyware".

Prop 13 has been argued (I'd say convincingly) to reduce liquidity:

(Less churn - opposite of what you hypothesize)
In this discussion there are a lot of terminology considerations around "supply" (ie, housing stock) vs. "liquid supply" (ie, houses on the market) and "average prices" (ie, total RE value) vs. "marginal prices" (ie, expected home sales price).

What's so distinctive about KRZ it that, aside from all the other great things about it, it so fluently speaks the language of video games and confidently, appropriately leverages the conventions of its sub-genre, as compared with other "art games" like Gone Home (which I enjoyed, mind you!) that live in their medium only superficially.

Label either what you will, but IMO KRZ's among the best examples of what the properties of video games in particular can contribute to the expression and experience of art. Gone Home could be translated to an (admittedly elaborate and large) interactive art installation (think haunted house, but less haunted, or like an escape room but bigger) and I'm pretty sure it'd be better for it—the immersive nostalgia of Gone Home wants you to feel and smell it, IMO... but you can't. It doesn't even do any of the media-blending that something like Thirty Flights of Loving does that'd make it tough to subject it to this kind of transformation. On the other hand I have trouble imagining any similar removal from the video game medium for KRZ turning out well. I don't even know where you'd start, or what you might change it into without making it something else entirely, likely inferior.

Consider also many of the Twine games and their cousins, which could just as well be choose your own adventure books—the "game" part may matter, the "video" barely does. KRZ? It both must be a video game, and isn't middling-quality (but possibly fun!) genre fiction. Very few video games tick both those boxes.

Best practices for successful content distribution
> To make this even more mysterious, this problem only occurred in one of our data centers, and we narrowed it down to the router being the only difference. Replacing the router also "fixed" the issue.

Did you confirm the packets were the same on both sides of the router? This pattern sounds like possibly network microbursts, which can lead to dropped packets -- maybe the replacement router had a larger buffer so you didn't drop any packets, and things worked better.

I've also seen some exciting bugs with SYN cookies on other platforms, it's possible there's some encoding error leading you to a very small window -- something wrong with the window scaling negotiation perhaps? If you've got enough incoming syns that syn+ack state is being dropped (so syncookies are being used to finish the connection), you're also going to not retransmit syn+acks, so then you need to wait for the SYN to be retransmitted.
And since hash power correlates with wealth, this means the wealthiest (who care enough to hash) win.

I think government interference in the engineering decisions of private companies are a valid reason to oppose crypto backdoors. I don't think it's the strongest reason --- we ask private companies to expend extra effort to comply with engineering requirements in all sorts of other products. But I sympathize with the argument.

A warrant isn't an engineering technique or a mathematical axiom. It's a directive from a court that its recipient must comply with a demand to produce some information. Warrants are, in some sense, about people.

If you encrypt some piece of information such that you retain the ability to decrypt and recover it, then as far as the law is concerned, you're capable of responding to a warrant for that information. Technology is going to make it possible for everyone, not just the tech savvy, to refuse to comply with those kinds of warrants. Public policy will need to adapt. As I said, we may not like how it adapts.
That's a beautiful landing page. Kudos.
Well I'm currently on the job hunt due to failure to deliver on projects at my most recent job, so I'm trying to figure out what to both change about my practices and what to look for in the practices at the place where I work next.
And you think the "patriarchy" is paying women as little as possible, but not men?

I think the people who make such decisions pay everyone as little as possible.
I'm not sure I follow, since knowingly concealing evidence is itself a crime in a lot of places.
The first rejuvenation biotechnology companies developing therapies to target the aging process itself - rather than producing compensatory/palliative treatments for specific manifestations of late stage aging - are already past their seed stage. Unity Biotechnology and Oisin Biotechnology are both working on different methods of senescent cell clearance, for example. Removal of senescent cells has been demonstrated to extend life in mice, improve cardiovascular health, etc.

It makes sense to back all plausible ventures in this area of development, and since there are at least seven classes of cell and tissue damage that cause aging, there will be a fair number of such ventures in the years ahead. Next up is probably glucosepane cross-link clearance or mitochondrial DNA repair, or perhaps transthyretin amyloid clearance if it ever gets liberated from the disinterested patronage of GSK.

Since Google has a clear interest in this area, even if they are going about it by supporting exactly the wrong lines of R&D at the moment, I imagine they will be involved in the growth of these companies and technologies as they continue to prove themselves effective in animal studies.

The target market is every human being over the age of 30, with a course of treatment every few years to a decade. The treatment will be some form of mass-produced infusion, such as a gene therapy. Comparable technologies from a production standpoint, such as biologics for autoimmune conditions, run at $1-10K per treatment even in the wildly dysfunction US medical system. You can run the numbers; from an economic perspective longevity assurance treatments that work will make most historical therapies look like small potatoes.
Not a bad thing, considering animation with Flash was such a delight.

I've actually had the pleasure of using one of the Model 01s. (a version that is, from what I understand, slightly different from what is going to be shipping) During their Kickstarter they actually went on a huge tour to visit something like 30 different hacker spaces in the 30 days of their Kickstarter to meet the people who did, or might want to, back their project. I think the best endorsement of it I can give is this: I was actually sad when I went home and couldn't take it with me. I backed their Kickstarter, and had been paying attention to their blog for a while, so I'm quite looking forward to when mine finally arrives.

What's very surprising to me is that I don't feel like I've seen much of this keyboard mentioned on HN, considering it really is the ultimate hacker's keyboard. (the most discussion I saw was 14 posts on their Kickstarter announcement from a quick search) Everything about it is going to be open source: from the actual specs of the hardware inside (so you could manufacture your own!) to all the code being used to run the keyboard. It's completely modifiable from the top to bottom. I don't know if it will have the capability when it finally ships, as Jesse mentioned it wasn't in their firmware to be able to do so at the meetup, but one of the ideas that excites me is the ability to change the state of the colored keys. Someone at the meetup I went to brought up the idea of changing the color of all the keys to a bright red when plugged into a production computer and were using a root terminal. It was mentioned that they were interested in adding that capability, but who knows, if they don't, someone else might put in a pull request for it.

You mention something interesting:

"... and really only when I stay up late"

My "productive mania" that I mention in this thread, was predominantly late at night. I've always been something of a night owl, and at the time in my life where I began programming, I was able to stay up very late, and sleep in late.

Sometimes I wonder if productive mania is attainable only when you're functioning day-to-day, in your 'ideal' sleep cycle.
For the most part, rich people produce far more than they consume. Poor people consume far more than they produce. Consumption inequality is vastly lower than income inequality.

I'm opposed to income tax as well. A consumption tax is the best tax, since it's both a) hard to dodge, b) transparent and c) doesn't penalize investment.

In principle an income tax is equivalent to a consumption tax, but in practice taxing labor income but not capital income induces all sorts of tax avoidance schemes that treat labor income as if it were capital income.
> In England some items are zero rated, (most food, children's clothes, books etc) and other items have lower rates.

That does not exist in the EU any more. Only products that did not have VAT at the time of introduction of the VAT system can retain it. Austria has no VAT free items as an example.

> There's a pretty vigorous campaign to move tampons and pads to the zero rate.

Pointless campaign because it cannot be done. You cannot remove VAT under EU regulations from an item.

In all your examples, you're talking about tools that would be finding direct use. How do you reconcile your allegories with empty houses purchased solely as stable investment vehicles instead of actually housing people?
No doubt it reduces liquidity. Probably increases marginal prices as well. But I doubt it makes real estate more valuable in the aggregate except for maybe via second-order effects like policy stability or population composition.
So then we're talking about the gender dynamics of negotiation.

This proves that having children imposes an economic penalty on the mother if there are no support systems in the form of quality daycare and such.
Maybe, the discourse should be how can we provide better childcare, along with safe and nurturing environments for kids when outside the home. That would convince women that it is worth it for them to remain in the workforce.

According to that calculator my taxes would be less in Ontario, Canada than California. In reality they aren't because I do married filing jointly and my wife has no income. But were I a single person it seems that it's not true that the taxes are higher there. In fact I'd be paying $5,000 less in tax in Ontario than in California (assuming wages were the same).

I don't know if EI and CPP would add up to $5,000, but certainly it would be much less if you throw Health Insurance into the the calculation.

NBA All-Stars' Minutes Are a Record Low
I do have a horse in this race, but even if I didn't I would say this:

Does Qualcomm, a company which has laid off ~20% of its workforce with even more jumping ship, 48% year over year revenue decline (as well as 44% profit decline, even after layoffs), increasingly difficult time differentiating itself from its competitors (who are in key areas starting to do better than them), really think they are going to be able to quadruple their total earnings in purely through new markets? All in under 4 years? Do they not realize that both their existing market as well the magic "IoT" market that they think will save them has even lower margins and more competition then the market they are in now.

Or since this was an investors meeting, shall we assume Occam's razor and are they just trying to prop up their stock that has dropped to half its value (and still trending downwards) in the midst of internal turmoil and losing marketshare.
I can't help but feel the motivating factor here is not helping people live longer (invest in food storage, transportation, and production and help millions of people survive). Instead this seems to me more like wealthy folks beginning to fear the realization that someday they will grow old and die like the rest of us.
