The courts have not been involved, so there is no sentencing going on.

Then you haven't really seen much. See, for example, any instance where intolerance has been enshrined in the US legal system. That's way worse than somebody cancelling a programming conference.

It's almost comical that you call this "the height of intolerance", given how trivial it is to find worse examples of intolerance.

> One is an uneducated thought the other a dangerous totalitarian action.

I don't think you understand what "totalitarian" means. It means "a political system where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible" [0]. None of that is going on here: the government isn't even involved. You're just using "totalitarian" as a vague insult, like "fascist".

In a non-totalitarian society, you are free to organize your own conference wherein you invite (or disinvite) whomever you please. The same applies to the organizers of PrlConf (or indeed LambdaConf). That's exactly what's happened.

You are severely underestimating the importance of peace of mind. When you are poor, you are always worried about making rent. When you are middle class, you might be a few paychecks (or a hospital bill) away from insolvency. The wealthy don't have to worry about those things.

Edit: d'oh, my reply is off-topic because I misread GP's post - missed that the distinction is between 1%ers and 0.1%ers. Considering that; I suspect the difference is in influence (my guess is the 0.1% are likely to be more 'politically involved' or better connected)

Hedge fund managers make that much money because they earn much more money for their clients. And less than 1-2% of them can beat the market consistently, and only these 1-2% are accordingly compensated.

And it's not like there are high barriers of entry. Everybody can call local Bloomberg office and arrange for trial terminal subscription (I did it once). Or pay around $75/month for realtime market data feed and test strategies on it. Compare it to, say, becoming a dentist.

I think whoever holds the platform with the biggest earning potential has the worst bug situation. I remember MS in the last decade, with their "reinstall and don't call us back"-support attitude. Now that iOS is the key to unicorn valuations, MS has had to fix their developer support.
Why is that questionable? They made a very popular game and, as happens with profitable apps, a ton of developers fire up their clone factories and start creating Candy Crash, Candy Mush, Candy Squeeze, Candy Crush HD, and any other name they can think of in order to cause confusion in the market and cash in on their efforts. Isn't this kind of thing exactly what trademark law was designed to protect against? Keep in mind that to trademark something you need to narrowly define the scope in which the trademark applies. So places selling actual candy or those using the word candy not in a computer game would be completely unaffected.

Or just buy an old laptop. I recently bought a Dell E6230 (3rd Gen Core i3) from eBay for $90. Fully functional laptop including RAM, hard drive, keyboard and LCD.

People often forget that the used laptop market exists. I use a Dell E6220 now as my main laptop because it accepts 16GB DDR3 and lasts 6+ hours on a 6 cell battery.

Sure, I would love to have a laptop with an HD or 4K screen, but for $100-200 I can buy the next previous generation each year and use the old one as a server for projects.

They consume ~7W idle with the LCD on. I'm sure that would drop to 3-4W with the screen off.

I used to have a MacBook (2011), but the thought of paying $1500-2000 for a new laptop where I can't even upgrade the memory, WiFi, or storage (easily) strikes me as insane.
Your understanding of what high earners are doing to reduce their taxes is mostly incorrect.

They're just earning most of their income as capital gains or qualified dividends instead of ordinary income, so it's taxed at a lower rate. It's not really all that complicated.
I don't think there is a single item on the list of this blog that applies to the american middle class or even lower end of middle class. Poverty is a different issue but what this article is referring to is the gap between the "1%" and the rest of the population, and I think a typical middle class american is the right comparison to assess whether this is such a gap in quality of life.
I'd go higher than that. whoever defined the specifications of the project, should've included security as a key component.

At long distance, inter-symbol interference caused by dispersion are the main causes of bit-errors. I saw a Clariphy whitepaper about a very good digital dispersion compensation engine, based on a custom implementation of the Viterbi algorithm.

I look at these articles about the "1%" and always come away with a different interpretation. "That looks pretty achievable", I think. With a bit of effort, I bet I could crack that income threshold one of these days. It's a little bit inspirational, actually, especially considering that I started out near the other end of the spectrum, income-wise.

I don't really get the desire everybody else has to drag those people down. It's not a zero sum game, so having rich people in existence doesn't really harm me. It's kinda cool that people can get rich. Certainly much more fun than a world where nobody could get rich.

If one wanted to get rich, this article does a good job of laying out how to do that. Pick a career path from that chart of "unfairly high paid professions" and establish one's self as a good one o' those.

Choices include Doctor, Lawyer, Investment Banker, and Software guy. The first three require full time doctoring, lawyering or banking, upward of 80 hour weeks, forever, to pull off. The last one requires only sane weeks working for the Googles of the world, or a bit of entrepreneurial work building something that brings in that 1% income and can then be stepped away from.

Seems pretty achievable.

Yep it's a really nasty problem for any package manager that operates at scale.

The problem is that without any centralized validation of packages, it leaves checking to each developer who uses the libraries and obviously from an effort standpoint that just makes it worse (i.e. if it's hard for the repo owner to do validation it's hard x number_of_users for it to be done by end users)

Huh? I really don't understand your argument. Jenkins is better than scripts because you can do more in Jenkins than in scripts? O_O

You can do a heck of a lot more in scripts; you've got a full language with all of the libraries it comes with in order to do stuff.

We've build our current build pipeline with Python scripts:

0. Bootstrap the build environment (installs everything you need to build).
1. Build projects order, order is derived from the intermodule dependency graph.
2. Execute unit test sets based on build parameter + save results in output.
3. Execute integration tests based on build parameter + save results in output.
4. Build distribution packages + save in output.
5. Deploy distribution packages to server based on parameters.
6. Run UI tests against the deployed packages + save results in output.
7. Publish the bits if they're OK.

Most of these steps are in different scripts, which can be called either from orchestration scripts or one-for-one in Jenkins.

All we have Jenkins do is invoke the script(s) then process and report the results.

We've basically got it wrong with the design of our CI tools; they do too much. They should just provide scheduling, invocation, reporting and dashboards over the build process. Expose that as an API and let scripts integrate with it.

The funny thing is, very capable libraries already exist to handle CSV parsing.

I know because I authored jquery-csv, te first RFC complete CSV parser implementation in vanilla JS.

The transform is ridiculously simple and data can be fully loaded and processed client-side using the HTML5 File API.

As soon as JS gets the :: function bind operator I plan to reimplement it as a pure async function.
I think that semver encourages unaudited updates by acting as a substitute for auditing in practice. Obviously the spec doesn't say that you should blindly accept all bugfix updates, but in practice many people do. I often do.
1% is just a nice number. Really I think most people have an issue with the top 0.1% or higher. Doctors and lawyers do not fall in that category, but multi-millionaires.

Anyway of course people don't want to drag them down just for the sake of it. They want to raise everyone else up. Which requires taxing capital.

Even just among the 99.9%, the world is pretty unfair. Not everyone can be doctors or lawyers or computer programmers. But at least the majority of people have been able to do unskilled work and make a living. But soon, the majority of unskilled will be replaced by machines. And eventually doctors and lawyers will be too. That leaves only capital owners with the majority of the income, and everyone else with nothing.

My experience is that if you can cheat the tests in this way then they are either too narrow in scope, or badly written tests. This is something that TDD tries to expose when being adhered to strictly, that is, do the simplest thing to make this test pass - if you `assertTrue(isEmpty())` then I can simply `return true` to make you improve your tests.
> What would you do in response to the stated fact of "162% occupancy" ? Where are they supposed to put the 62% ?

I'm not sure I understand all of your comment, but the answer to this part is clear: release them and another 80% on top of them. Almost nobody (statistically speaking) in prison actually belongs there.

You have discounted mental illness as an explainer. Some people who work in "corrections" exhibit signs of serious psychopathy, and the job seems to be a way of self-medicating.
Yes. Use the built-in JSON.parse() to get the data into memory, then use my jquery-csv library's $.csv.fromArrays() to format the data as CSV.

Op 10 Design Flaws in the Human Body
I'm pretty sure that good portion of the '99%' are doing a lot more than 'nothing'.

But, getting back to the core, I think all of these capitalism vs communism juxtapositions distract us from looking at our collective goals. That is, we often put ideology in front of the desired effect.

Capitalism has succeeded in being a much, much better allocator of resources than large-scale central planning. I think most of us get that. Allowing capital to flow dynamically has allowed resources to flow to where there is most demand, and it has incentivized people to play the resource allocation game.

As a society, we have generally accepted some inequality in the process, as long as the system has generally benefited most people. Traditionally, in the west, this has been 'progress' - the optimism that one's quality of life and the quality of life of their descendants will get significantly better over time.

In countries that have adopted capitalism, it's been great, as long as per-capita grown rates have been high (say > 4% annually). But, when standards of living start to decrease over time, like they have started to over the last 30-40 years, people lose faith in the system. That, coupled with most economists predicting long-term global growth stagnation, it's time to think about novel new models that achieve social goals.

As hackers, I'm surprised that there has been so much focus in HN comments on dueling ideology. Where are the innovative minds that come up with new systems to replace the old ones?

> It’s nice to see that AWS’ supporting services are ran pretty much the same way as how outside companies will run their workload within AWS.

Reminds me that Heroku does (or at least did) run their slug compiler Vulcan as a Heroku app—when you push your app to Heroku, you're simply relying on another Heroku dyno to do the work of building yours. They don't need to do anything special to those dynos, or give them any special privileges; they're already isolated enough to serve as build-task runners, and their only output is to push something from their filesystem to S3, which they can do completely obliviously to Heroku's architecture.

I believe the recently-rebuilt Heroku dashboard might also be a Heroku app, but I'm not as sure on that one.
This is nonsense. There's a direct link between wealth and life expectancy, likelihood of surviving surgery, likelihood you'll be killed by the police, sentenced to prison etc.
The problem with observing wealth is that the numbers are polluted by things like real estate bubbles.

In theory, if you own and live in a £1m home in London you are very wealthy, you could sell it and live off the proceeds in a cheaper place. But in practice you are not really wealthier than someone who owns a £200k home in a village. That home is likely much smaller and the population of London is not going to migrate away from London. Real estate bubbles have made parts of the population much wealthier on paper but they still live in the same houses than before the bubble.

Actually income has a similar bias. You can earn twice the median salary in the UK and still not afford to live on your own in central london. Most junior bankers live in flatshare, but are on paper earning much more than an average family in a cheaper village.

These bias are what I think make comparisons of nominal wealth or income between countries a pointless exercise, and in a country as vast and heterogenous as the US a difficult exercise.

You can hire these millions of people and they will work for you. Just provide better terms than Koch, so you will be wealthy and we will have better salary.
Not necessarily. Soon they will replace all those workers with machines, and they won't depend on workers anymore.

In the past they did create wealth, by actually founding those successful businesses. Of course that might have been luck and markets aren't perfectly fair, so maybe they don't deserve 100% of the profits. But still they did create something of value, at one point in time. A thing which continues to produce value today. It's not like Walmart just materialized out of the aether and Sam Walton just happened to find it first.

Of course deontological arguments are silly and it's impossible to know who "deserves" what. I think a consequentialist argument is much stronger, that taxing rich people and redistributing the money to everyone, creates more benefit to society than it harms.
Most of the devices with more that one (especially >2) Ethernet port actually have only one network controller and a small VLAN-capable switch. That's the standard configuration of almost any plastic access point/"router".

There is no need for a new system, or new concepts.

The old European systems of Social Democracy already solved the issues.

Give everyone a minimum standard of life, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity at improving themselves. Give everyone a second chance.

If everyone has similar chances at getting quality education, at getting into good jobs, then people's status only depends on their own merit.
