A comment that makes sense, downvoted
"Cities make it easier for kids to go outside and be kids."

The other way round.
I grew up in the countryside and we could literally play on the streets without risk. Visiting friends was actually easier. We simply took the bike, the rollerskates or - later - a motor scooter. No need for any parent to drive anybody anywhere. No need to use public transportation. All my schoolmates lived in bike distance (that is 25 km in my definition).

Of course it counts how safe your country or city is. It is our business to make them safe, not to hide in cars, because otherwise we may be harmed.

> One would think Europe would change immigration law to encourage people who would naturally have some affinity or ties to the region.

Is this a roundabout way of saying that European countries ought to prefer white immigrants? Europe has a little bit of history with regard to governments making laws that discriminate on the basis of race. Might not be such a great idea to turn back the clock on that one.

The movie they ended up watching was Goodfellas, and roflchoppa's ah.. friend.. saw Ray Liotta's eyes and concluded that he had no soul.

At least that's my guess.
The exact program:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Program#The...

I imagine you're talking about point 25:

"For the execution of all of this we demand the formation of a strong central power in the Reich. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general. The forming of state and profession chambers for the execution of the laws made by the Reich within the various states of the confederation. The leaders of the Party promise, if necessary by sacrificing their own lives, to support by the execution of the points set forth above without consideration."

Given what happened in Germany's Weimar republic, decades-long destruction (mass firings) of workers and the resulting impact on the middle class as the direct result of foreign-imposed costs "for reparations for the war".

Given all this it is easy to see why this program would have the success it did.
I still use a Bronica S2A from 1969! Leather and chrome, and the shutter makes the sound of slamming a car door; but it made me fantastic images since I got it, and I have 80x80cm prints that are absolutely gorgeous, using a Nikkor 50mm f3.5 lens.

That 645 to be fair looks quite nice, despite the lack of 'fast' lens. Given the format (bigger film) and the quiet leaf shutter, there is very little camera shake (like on a Leica M) so you can shut at silly slow speed with these, often 1/15s without any camera shake... And given the larger film, a wide open f4 will give you the same look as a much faster lens on a smaller format.

So, not bad. Nothing I'll replace my 6x6's and 6x9's with, but still very nice to see..
What I'm concerned about is the following:

> However, before more info is gathered, Microsoft’s privacy governance team, including privacy and other subject matter experts, must approve the diagnostics request made by a Microsoft engineer. If the request is approved, Microsoft engineers can use the following capabilities to get the information:

> Ability to gather user content, such as documents, if they might have been the trigger for the issue.

This means that Telemetry in Windows 10 is a built in backdoor that allows Microsoft to access your local files. That is disturbing. At minimum, explicit user consent should be required, i.e. a popup asking if you'd like to share a specific file with Microsoft.

But some religions have on going problems with abusive harmful "therapy" such as conversion therapy; and there have in the recent past been severe problems with religious organisations telling abuse victims not to go to police.
2) true, but you'll find looking at places which had traditionally high rate of horse meat consumption that they also used to had a local chivalry military garrison. those are the horses that were used back then for consumption, because they weren't as hardened as work animals and they ended their useful life before being totally spent.

AFAIK setting Windows firewall to deny all outgoing and then manually whitelisting apps you use cuts all(') logging. Microsoft would be crazy to punch backdoor holes in its own firewall, it would probably kill enterprise market.

There's one hell of a difference between having submarines patrol your coast lines and having soldiers on your ground and bombers in your skies. There are worlds between having soldiers die and having civilians die, en masse. You're talking about indigenous tribes. I'm talking about people the man in the (US) street would recognize as "American" (yes, it's discriminatory, but such is society).

Sure, war is hell. But a war at home is an entirely different category of horror than a war overseas or off the coast. Its effects on the collective psyche are entirely different.

Probably by getting out of the silicon valley bubble. Work for 'normal' companies that are actually trying to make the world better instead of building the millionth useless social media platform. Choose companies that aren't overvalued 100 times their actual worth (so don't work for Uber, Snapchat or any of those companies with valuations in the higher Billions range, without actually making any substantial profit).

Yet he's a brilliant author of pop-sci books on evolution and as a "rational optimist" who believes in leaving systems to self-organize, this inconsistent call for "regulation" of the badger-hedgehog "market" hints at cognitive dissonance.

Why can't the upper-class just be honest that they love hunting, it's a tradition of theirs, nobody agrees with them, there's absolutely no reason for it other than sport, why bother trying to justify it ?

Yeah, a bit stupid, they even showcase the browser on macs only (guess they like the clean look). It's a GTK app, Gnome3 apps do look similar to osX apps. The full screen button though, it is very out of place. It is problably the result of using it on Elementary OS (where it is de default browser), a Linux distro that aims to emulate osX. [0]

The advice given is very US centric, you'd do well to research your specific options and figure out what is best for you rather than to adopt his strategies without modification, it is more about the principle than about the letter of what's written there.

In NL we have (with respect to any kind of capital gains on private holdings) an incredibly fortuitous situation (no tax paid at all beyond a 1% per annum fictuous income, so that 1% of the value of your holdings gets added to your income which is then taxed at the normal rate).

In Ireland the index fund route may not be an option, but there may be other alternatives (such as direct real estate investments) that have a similar risk/return ration but a better tax picture. Your best advisor with stuff like this would be a local tax attorney.
My long time experiences as both interviewer and interviewee for IT jobs tells me that the most important things to do as interviewee is to be and feel comfortable, converse like a normal human being and be honest about your skills and abilities.

People in general tend to treat differently other people that can keep their cool in stressful situations. Interviewers subconsciously seek signals about candidates and being easygoing in conversation and radiating the aura of honesty and pleasantness may be as much or even more important than technical skills. You can train people to do their jobs but you can't change their attitudes toward other people. Single "difficult" personality may poison entire team and this is what good interviewers/managers try to avoid.

On the other hand, I've seen a colleague lose a few hours' work by forgetting to commit a specific file out of a set, and then doing 'git reset --hard' for some reason. 'git status' didn't save him. Luckily, he did commit the corresponding tests file.

I guess it's a question of what's the squelch level in retail radios. It's FM modulation, so it doesn't have to be very strong - just high enough above the noise level.

Also local transmitters are either omnidirectional, or it's a few wide-angle antennas that need to send the signal over hills / through buildings, etc. From space you could easily do only ~20 degrees and there's practically nothing in your way.

For comparison, LEO weather satellites send data at around 6-7W (not kW).
It wouldn't be any more expensive than walking into someone, with them falling down and breaking their back.

I don't see why it would be different for this, it's slightly faster than walking and slower than riding a bike.

Why? XMPP is already a simple protocol, just use that. No need to implement a proprietary REST protocol here.
Unions are not evil, they are simply people following their own incentives. Indeed the same can be said for the vast majority of humans and inflammatory language like that does nothing to further understanding of their points of view.

As for "punishment", are you serious? What punishment? By whom? Under which terms?

Personally I'd advocate for my work disciplinary interactions to be private between me and my employer, as I suspect would most people. The police have a public interest counter argument to that otherwise rational expectation. So what's the middle ground? Can there be generalised stats released whilst maintaining privacy? Perhaps privacy simply cannot be maintained in this instance (for example my professional body would publish the results of disciplinary hearings to the public record I believe).

Accepting that you don't like the result I find it hard to believe you can't see that there's a conversation to be had and that both negotiating parties had a case to make.
You seem to assume that all customers are both rational and well informed. They are not. That's why your models break down in the real world.

>"Savers might stomach a modest fee for making bank deposits, but as rates go deeper into negative territory, they will find ways to avoid charges. Switching to cash is the obvious solution, which is why some have suggested getting rid of banknotes altogether"

This is an incredibly troubling aspect of the push toward a cashless economy. Not only does it marginalize the unbanked (those who can't bank due to illegal immigrant status, or other mitigating circumstances), but it's also an incredibly powerful tool for population control.

It removes the agency a modest savings give us, by concentrating all wealth under the control of a select few anointed conglomerates. It also allows onerous policies like negative interest to be a new, truly inescapable regressive tax regime.

Edit: notahacker makes a compelling point that negative interest is likely less regressive than inflation. I thought it was something worth bringing to the root of the thread.

If wood gets wet, it's not necessarily a disaster, as it can be dried. But if there's a moisture barrier surrounding it, it might never dry. Think about a log is wrapped in plastic. Moist wood will be eaten by mold.

During a house's long lifetime, it's likely that there are problems and some structure gets to experience some moisture at some point. It should be able to recover.

A friend told that a house expert had a quote.

"There's two kinds of houses: 'if' houses and 'despite' houses."

The 'if' houses stay in shape if everything works correctly. The 'despite' houses stay in shape despite there being occasional maintenance lapses. The key takeaway is robustness to real life events.

> So the legacy IBM is dying on the table

If it is dying, it will be a slow death. IBM spent decades entrenching itself in government and Fortune 500 enterprises.

The 23 year old Ruby-on-Rails coder sitting at his desk in his unicorn's open floorplan office in SoMa may not be aware of it, but there are a ton of IBM machines out there in the world right now, running programs written in JCL, Rexx, Cobol, PL/I, and Fortran.

The first z196 mainframe to roll out six years ago went to Citigroup ( http://www.informationweek.com/it-leadership/global-cio-ibms... ). With the pressure for increasing quarterly profits and other priorities, why would Citigroup decide to spend a fortune to upgrade their ancient legacy systems, hoping that there won't be too many bumps along the way? IBM makes it easy for them to keep their legacy systems around - it's much cheaper, and it works. The systems have worked for decades actually.

When JPMorgan Chase decided to start cutting down on their IBM usage twelve years ago and start doing more IT in house, they had to strike a deal with IBM to hire about 4000 IBM IT workers ( http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/7294.wss ). Since JPMC just put up a job posting ( https://jpmchase.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=1... ) looking for someone with "Expert Skills in IBM-Z/OS COBOL, CICS, VSAM, JCL, MQ, DB2 SQL, Assembler and Stored Procedures", I'd guess some of those systems are still in place.

Note the location of the job. Tampa, Florida. Not exactly the center of what's young and hot in the tech world. More like the kind of place an IBM old timer might go to retire, before he decides he was bored and would like to stick his hand back in and get some work. This JPMC job ( https://jpmchase.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=1... ) looking for "Experience with z/OS ISPF, JCL, and JES2" is in Bangalore. Not the center of tech, but plenty of people out there are working on these mainframes and with languages listed in the job listings like JCL, REXX, Cobol etc. These jobs are all at a bank which tried to start weaning itself off IBM twelve years ago.

Governments and Fortune 500 companies have plenty of IBM mainframes out there running, often with code written half a century ago in PL/I or the like, running business processes which are still used, and they're not going away any time soon.
I've slowly begun to suspect that the filter and your ego are actually the same thing.
Ask HN: How do you get a Kid started with Hardware, rasberry pi's etc.
My kid bro (lots of years between us) recently started getting interested in hardware and electronics. Though he showed signs when he was way younger but since he started taking science classes in school, it ignited his passion, he has almost fixed every electronic in the house. He built some cool stuff with rotors, rechargeable mobile fans some other kids stuff and he's getting really addicted to this thing. I really would love to encourage him and would like him to get started with hardware stuff like Arduino boards, raspberry pi's. He's particularly into drones and always dreams of making his own drone. So for a kid about 15 years old, how do I get him started in the world of hardware. I myself am a software developer about 5+ years and don't really know much hardware.

P.S: My kid bro even picked up JavaScript after a few months after I told him he could program drones with it(not sure if it's true, read it up somewhere). I really do want to encourage him.

I agree - I'm seeing some application frameworks even encouraging developers to expose CRUD functionality via REST (Spring Data REST, I'm looking at you)

There may be a few narrow use cases where this is valid, but in general we really should avoid doing SQL joins over HTTP :-)

As Stefan argues in the talk, one of the original sins with SOA was caring too much about the services (and potential "reuse"), and forgetting about the notion of offering a cohesive piece of business functionality i.e. a bounded context with well-defined responsibilities
