Think of it this way. Your parents borrow $10000 to throw a big party--one that you were not allowed to attend. After they die, their wills are read, bequeathing unto you $10000 in festivity debt, plus 50 years of interest. They never paid for the party, despite having such a great time at it (or so you assume, not having been there to judge).

Now you have a choice. You can try to maintain the postmortem reputations of your parents, by accepting their debt and making the payments. Or you can tell the creditors to FOAD.

For some reason, not only did our parents do that to us, but our grandparents did it to them, they chose to inherit the debt, and they still borrowed more money to throw their own party.

With government debt, the generational boundaries are not so clear, and the inheritance of debt smears together across thousands of deaths. But essentially, previous generations have been paying forward their debts instead of paying them back, to the point where almost everyone in the society is essentially born owing money to someone else. We already have so much inherited debt that we just can't afford to borrow the money for our own party. Also, we can't opt out.

That's not altogether untenable. I'd be willing to save up money and wait to throw my party until after the budget requirement is met. But it's hard to save anything when so much of your income is being sucked up by your elder generations' debt payments. And it is especially galling when people the same generation as you appear to be enjoying a party to which you were not invited.

That's the most persuasive rhetoric I know of in favor of repudiating national debt. To not do so is to reward the gross fiscal irresponsibility of our forebears.

The rhetoric against it, and also against mere default, states that it would devastate the ability of the current government to borrow more money. In other words, it would require the government to be more prudent and rational in regard to its budgeting. How is that a negative?

But that wasn't why the House Republicans threatened default. They were sending a big "F U" to the Obama administration, and playing a juvenile game of Chicken to do it. And they were only going to force some missed interest payments, without questioning the principal. Repudiating the debt would mean no more interest payments, and no repayment of principal, either. That would also, of course, cause a massive financial catastrophe that would preclude any partying for a long, long time, but at least it would temporarily stop the vicious cycle of kicking the snowball further down the mountain until it is so large that it starts killing any people unlucky enough to get in its way.

I'd love to have the national credit rating lowered. It would help stop the party-goers from running up another trillion that the non-invitees are ultimately tasked with paying off.
I've recently started a diet and one of the most helpful things I've been doing is looking up the nutritional facts of meals and drinks that'd I'd usually write-off as "too insignificant to matter". One of those was a medium Starbucks mocha which turned out to be ... ~360 calories without whip. That might seem like an insignificant amount but when you're going for a ~600 calorie deficit it's about two thirds of a standard meal.

Since then I've been sticking to a medium coffee which is ~5 calories, and the caffeine is a total appetite killer. Win win.
Good, because I suck at technical interviews, but built my own SaaS offering (working the corporate job until my customer base is large enough).
And the weight-training rats, although they were much stronger at the end of the experiment than they had been at the start, showed no discernible augmentation of neurogenesis.

"They not even want a build that works for on any phone but the one in question."

That is completely not true. There is no way to make such a thing that can only work on one particular phone. There will be some point at which the compromised firmware image checks to see if it's that device, at which point it would be possible to change that to whatever device you want.

"This is the huge difference between this order (which I can live with) and blanket encryption backdoors using key escrow or other crap (which I'm absolutely vehemently against and willing to fight to the teeth)"

No, there is absolutely no difference between those two.
But maybe a better chance of getting away with it
Yes, if you overpay then you go back in and get the change back. If I give the cashier a twenty, but only pump $10 worth, then I get $10 back from them. Most people are pretty good at estimating it though, so generally the people that pay in cash will just leave the few dozen cents they didn't use.

People,

This is great news for few of us.

But it has been hard to read trough this comments and realize how much ignorance about what Debian is, how it works, what the Debian bug tracker is, what a voluntary-based project is, and to read some assertions and prepotency around in HN

If you see ANYTHING wrong with Debian, go fix it, or shut up and go to sell your stuff to another one.

Debian is not a startup. Debian is not an elastic architecture in the cloud to support/pay-for traffic peaks. Debian may benefit from your solutions and resources, if you're so good. Debian isn't perfect.

The Debian bugtracker maybe not the web application I could write in 2016, but I'm conscious on how much work has been around it, and it's ecosystem, how much I'm in debt with the Debian bug tracker as opensource user, and how much should I THANK to the people who did work on it, who works on it and who uses it, and even translates it

Depressing to sometimes find great threads, and sometimes loose the time with subjective views, inexperienced reviews, false and incomplete assertions, haters, and mass style thinking.

I'm scared to imagine on hands of what kind of people there are technological choices... or to think that people gets influenced by content creators of this level... maybe I'm lucky and most of those opinions I dislike, are not from real engineers/hackers, but from lost re-users, and people without humility repeating what they find shocking, like a child of 3 years.

To my taste buds, Nescafe Gold instant coffee blows Starbucks away.

Starbucks coffee has to be drowned in sugar and cream to mask the acrid acidity.
Facebook has had this for awhile (for chats, at least on web). I rather enjoy it and not really a Millennial, I was born in 77.

I really prefer gifs to all these goofy icons and odd emoji (still use thumbs up etc, just not the poop and other odd ones).

I use Line App for chat with a group for a game I play, and they all love those stickers and emojis. Most of the time I don't even register what it is, and move on - gifs are a bit more eye catching and usually more poignant.
Such a thing does not currently exist, though. They would have to develop one.
I think it's more relevant that Giphy isn't providing any original content, whereas the clipart vendors were selling their own media. Giphy is merely providing hosting for users' content, much of which is copyrighted.

Isn't this exactly what you'd expect? e.g. if get a random cohort of developers who all of their peers would say are amazing, if I subject them to a series of tests, they will do differently well at the different tests?

For example, so I set a test where you have to write some Java, if half the candidates haven't written any Java, they'd all surely do worse on the test than the other half?

Or is their a belief in the industry that there's some scale on which we can absolutely rank all developers - front end, back end, full stack, mobile, desktop, embedded? That sounds like a surprising belief which would require extra-ordinary evidence?
I will try it now and share my experience here
Anecdotally Starbucks is the only coffee I enjoy taking black, other blends I'll usually add milk or half and half.
I spent a fair while thinking about this one for my first job in journalism--after all, what good's a reporter without questions. In the end, I asked the interviewers how they got their break in the industry. I think it worked well, I got my foot in the door at least.

Unless he isn't an atheist? Plenty of theists can hold to evolutionary views or intelligent design.

Open source doesn't preclude securing the boot chain. TianoCore implements UEFI Secure Boot, and it's BSD licensed. I think the bigger issue is the (unreasonably) low trust in things like secure elements and TPMs in open source, but that needs to change, and is rapidly off topic.

More on topic is whether Apple or even Google get out from under this if their on disk encryption mechanism is open source. If everyone owns e.g. LUKS (in a sense no one company owns/controls it) then can any one company be burdened by a court to effectively break everyone else's software by being told to create a backdoor?

B2B Marketing Success: Writing Skills That Matter

I'm not sure many people actually order just "coffee" at Starbucks. When I've been in one, virtually every order is some weird-ass fancy drink, to the point where I feel a little out of place just ordering a coffee.
I wonder how many employ Kahneman's recommendation based on his book, "Thinking, Fast and Slow":

> Suppose that you need to hire a sales representative for your firm. If you are serious about hiring the best possible person for the job, this is what you should do. First, select a few traits that are prerequisites for success in this position (technical proficiency, engaging personality, reliability, and so on. Don't overdo it — six dimensions is a good number. The traits you choose should be as independent as possible from each other, and you should feel that you can assess them reliably by asking a few factual questions. Next, make a list of those questions for each trait and think about how you will score it, say on a 1-5 scale. You should have an idea of what you will call "very weak" or "very strong."

> These preparations should take you half an hour or so, a small investment that can make a significant difference in the quality of the people you hire. To avoid halo effects, you must collect the information on one trait at a time, scoring each before you move on to the next one. Do not skip around. To evaluate each candidate add up the six scores ... Firmly resolve that you will hire the candidate whose final score is the highest, even if there is another one whom you like better — try to resist your wish to invent broken legs to change the ranking. A vast amount of research offers a promise: you are much more likely to find the best candidate if you use this procedure than if you do what people normally do in such situations, which is to go into the interview unprepared and to make choices by an overall intuitive judgment such as "I looked into his eyes and liked what I saw."
I think you're right.

Also, I think they understated the impact that the stress of the high intensity interval training simulation would have. Imagine being stuck in a room where the floor below you was moving, at random intervals of walking pace and sprinting pace, with no warning. It would be unbelievably stressful.

The psychological impact of that, versus getting the same type of exercise from playing basketball, seems like it would be hugely different.
This is the FBI going after a Parallel Construction path. They already have all the information from the NSA bag o'tricks, but none of those can be used in court. But an unlocked phone unlocks the legal obstacles.

So what? How would Apple be able to say yes in this case, but no in the next case? Developing such a system when none exists is effectively creating a back door for every iOS device out there.
You also have landlords that hold a large number of units (often times a corporate entity, with management outsourced), then you have individuals who are renting out their old house after they moved (either because they can't sell for what they owe, or other reasons). And often times the people renting behave pretty bad (not intentionally, but there is often more than the "normal" wear and tear).

Enigma: The Battle for the Code[0] is a very good read. It details the Polish achievements, the rush to save the Polish cryptographers out of France as the it was collapsing in 1940, and then goes into details with the many more details that gone into the cracking effort, besides Turing's team. Eg. tt shows the importance of weather report patterns in finding cribs that short-circuited the decryption (known clear text headers) and the importance of the submarine captured Enigma machines that showed the disk settings in the Navy setup (the Navy machine was much harder to crack than the Army ones). Not only a good read, but also very educating for anyone using cryptography today!

But broken logic. And pretty much a repeat of where were at 6-8 levels up from here.
It makes perfect sense, if being seen eating Big Macs were to become trendy then you would see more people eating Big Macs. It happens for all kinds of things in popular culture. Why do people buy the expensive famous name brand stuff when the no-name clothing would be just as good for their needs?
Stress can inhibit neurogenesis (among other things) in the hippocampus, as the article states. Is it possible that HIIT was not as beneficial for the rodents, because they were, unlike the moderate exercisers, forced to exercise? Being forced to exercise intensely might have been the real source of stress.
> The fiscally-conservative Germans love cash and love to pay for things with cash.

Yeah, sadly. It seems like a lot of Germans associate card payments with having no spending control and going in debt.

At least credit card acceptance has improved since the fees were cut by the European Union. I'm still voting with my wallet and putting most merchants without card acceptance on my "ban" list.

>that someone can get along fine without having any cash.

UK probably as well, especially with contactless payments.
So? They'd compel Apple to resign the firmware.
"...and disabled Touch ID - which is hackable with a bit of effort to get your fingerprint."

As long as we're on the topic of encryption, phones, and law enforcement it's worth keeping in mind that in the US at least courts can compel you to unlock your phone with Touch ID, even though they can't compel you to give them a password. Communicating a password is considered speech, so self-incriminating speech is protected by the fifth amendment. Physically holding your finger to a device is not considered speech and so it's not protected.

I think this is an interesting, and perhaps underappreciated, aspect of a shift from passwords to biometrics for verifying identity. It would shift the power dynamic between civilians and government a bit - here in the US at least.

Of course, hopefully no one is in a situation where they need to protect themselves against over-reaching or unjust government officials any time soon.

Not sure what you mean. People are trying to explain this down turn (e.g. Jan 1 to Feb 17; SPY -5.21%) and the possibility of a recession on the horizon and Oil/China are currently big reasons for that. China not having imploded yet means that right now the movements in the market are mostly speculative and psychological factors at play. This article is saying "Yes the down turn is coming. And yes it's because china is in trouble. And yes it will be big. And yes it'll happen soon enough because it's getting to critical mass."
Could you explain why you say that?

I didn't assume they were an atheist. The language choice was used to confer normative value to long-distance running. This isn't pushing a worldview, it's pointing out that the basis for this argument for long-distance running is something which is not coherent with many readers' beliefs.
A Retail Manifesto: Stores are (really) dying this time; it’s online or bust
Why is there very little talk about the First Amendment in this whole discussion? They are asking to write custom software.

The supreme court has ruled in separate cases that:
1. that software is speech
2. that a person (corporations are people according to them) cannot be compelled to speak

It would seem to me that the FBI could perhaps subpoena technical documentation from Apple but it should be required to hire their own developers to write this software.
I would love a replacement for passwords, but i dont think hardware based solutions are practical enough yet. It is a Gadget more i need to take with me, and even more make sure that it connects with any device i have.

The worst part for me would be loosing that thing, in the end i would need alternative login methods anyway to be sure i dont lock myself out.

Classic Authy on a Smartwatch would be the simplest method i could live with that comes to my mind.
A relevant quote from the Royal Canadian Mint:

In Economic Action Plan 2012, the Government announced it would phase out the penny from Canada's coinage system. The decision to phase out the penny was due to its excessive and rising cost of production relative to face value, the increased accumulation of pennies by Canadians in their households, environmental considerations, and the significant handling costs the penny imposes on retailers, financial institutions and the economy in general.

a: That's what they call themselves, although interestingly, not all Guidos are of Italian descent.

b: Really?

a: While the styles and mannerisms are based on Italian-American tropes, the Guidos can be of any ethnic background.

a: They gather at the Jersey Shore.

a: The male bonding is near homoerotic.

I think this is more of a perception issue.

A concerned user will feel like they are adding more weight by "starring" it (or "voting" / "+1"ing it) than "subscribing" to it. Even if they really mean the same thing, ie adding to a counter and notifying on updates.

(And I doubt it's a good idea to separate these functions, even if some people will protest they have a corner case where they would want to do one but not the other. It adds unnecessary complication.)
Yeah, I guess I put less weight on your point a. Frivolity doesn't necessarily mean an inability to generate revenue. Things that seem frivolous at first or frivolous to certain people can turn into a Real Business™.

However, I agree that people wouldn't pay for it or put up with ads. As a casual Giphy user, I certainly wouldn't pay for it, and to your point, I wouldn't invest my own money in Giphy.

Anyway, thanks for spelling out your reasoning. Cheers.
To be honest I'd probably interpret them as being antagonistic if the same statements were directed at me (and quoting never helps either) but I think if you take a charitable interpretation it doesn't read that way. I think it's just a direct/technical challenge/debate sort of reply and it's really easy to read into those when you're on the receiving end of them.
