apparently it has to do with i-tunes releasing a movie called "10 years"; great leaders of china don't seem to like movies that invoke thought in their population.

It's interesting how here in America, we are able to be free from these types of protectionist policies; yet we find many of us ignoring thoughts,books,movies,etc. that invoke real emotion.
Here is a graph from the CDC:

You do not need to represent a binary tree as a structure with two pointers. See how a typical Huffan tree is implemented, for example.
I especially recommend visiting St. Petersburg during the summer. It's on that same latitude so you get nights that don't go dark and the whole city celebrates. They're called "White Nights" and there's a "White Night Festival"[1] but really, the fascinating part is how the whole city (or at least the city center) comes alive during those nights.

It's absolutely beautiful.

That's not empathy, that's memory. Poor kids growing up in crime-ridden neighborhoods have PTSD; does this judge sit with them, or bury them under the jail?

edit: To be even a bit more contrarian here, sympathy in judges is something that I actively dislike, and why I'm a progressive in support of mandatory minimums, which is pretty much blasphemy. Sympathy in judges is why an affluenza defense can work, and why rapists sometimes get sentenced to probation.
Reached Moon vs Had planet-destroying nuclear war.

Sounds like a bargain to me.
Why so much negative press about a diagnostic company? Most people would struggle to name 1 of these save for having to get a drug test or something. It just seems odd. Like some sort of vendeta to crush this company.
Yes - I definitely remember shared browsing some time back in the mid/late 90's but I couldn't remember the app that did it. Excite doesn't ring a bell though, maybe there were more?

I thought it was pretty useless back then...
If you think about it, earth is a solar powered hot dog cooker. In fact almost everything is solar powered! Even nuclear fission, which uses unstable isotopes produced during supernovae.
Happiness arises from either self-sacrifice for humanity, or through social connections (typically family). Rarely does one have the good fortune to find happiness through both means, as both of these typically require life devotion to achieve.
Maybe you could frame them that way. Vandalism causes damage to society (and a cost to repair/clean). There may be smaller prices society could pay, by providing some kind of alternative to tagging or destruction of property.

Hypothetically, with plastic bags, maybe you were paying 6 cents per bag, through taxes, for the city to send people out to clean up litter. With a 5 cent tax, the cost is more obvious, but discourages everyone (including litterers) from using as many bags. With fewer bags to pick up, the city can spend less on cleaning crews (now easily covered by the 5 cent tax), and the 6 cents can go to something more productive. As a bonus, you've lowered the long-term environmental damage rate from bags that get away.

The thing is, the liability caused by the polluters was already on the entire population, whether or not they polluted, and even whether or not they used plastic bags at all. It feels worse (and more unfair) because you're made more aware of the costs involved, even though there's been an improvement in the overall situation (including for you, the non-polluter).
Isn't this good news for Tesla's giga factory?
What if I want to talk civilized politics? You can avoid toxicity if you find some really niche subreddits. However if it is an /r/ for anything significantly popular, it quickly divulges it toxic garbage. In your example sure, /earthporn/ is neat, but forums dedicated to just reposting pictures, are just another wasteful time sink for me. I get what you're saying, I do. I've just given up on wasting my time there.
> Apple's profits are largely due to the cheap labor market (just like many other companies)

Foxconn is replacing millions of workers in China with robotics. Couldn't Apple acquire these same robotics, perform their own manufacturing in the US (remember, substantial tax breaks in the US for equipment purchases!), and then lease out any spare capacity.

Seems its all coming back to US shores. As a US citizen, I don't mind.
> But at the same time, we technologists as a class knew academically that these capabilities could be abused, but nobody actually believed they would be abused. Because why would you do that? It seemed so antisocial as a basic concept.

I guess so? Not me though. Snowden literally only proved what I had learned on my own.

> But we were confronted with documented evidence in 2013 that even what most people would consider to be a fairly forthright upstanding government was abusing these capabilities in the most indiscriminate way.

Um. Who thought this? Ever? Since the 90s.
The analysts making EPS estimates know about the buybacks too and increase the EPS to compensate.
sounds like that could have a lot of unintended consequences. especially since so much data is now transmitted over port 80
Those ancient pages could be hosted on a scalable CDN to hand the traffic. The hosting design is antiquated, not the pages.
but there isn't 1 CDN, or 1 version... if you need two libraries, but the canonical CDN for jquery is on one, and your required extension is on another... that's two DNS lookups, connections, request cycles, etc.

So you use the one that has both, but one is not canonical, which means more cache misses. That doesn't even count the fact that there are different versions of each library, each with it's own uses, and distribution, and the common CDN approach becomes far less valuable.

In the end, you're better off compositing micro-frameworks and building yourself. Though this takes effort... React + Redux with max compression in a simple webpack project seems to take about 65K for me, before actually adding much to the project. Which isn't bad at all... if I can keep the rest of the project under 250K, that's less than the CSS + webfonts. It's still half a mb though... just the same, it's way better than a lot of sites manage, even with CDNs
> It's probably why its becoming so slow and flaky.

I see both version of this statement all the time:
"Chrome is so slow. I switched to firefox![1]"
"Firefox is so slow. I switched to chrome!"

What's going on? Do browsers get full of history/cookies/profiles/plugins and slow down.

Is it just the act of switching that speeds things up?

How do I find out who has sent me the most emails?
I'm trying to find a simple solution (smart search), rather than downloading my whole big accumulated mess and create a program to parse it. Of course after deleting the offending messages, I could download a smaller backup of my inbox. Then I could say good bye to Gmail.
An external struggle can be empowering and meaningful. It's when the struggle is over and the dream is not all it was cracked up to be that we begin to struggle with ourselves. And that is depressing. Now we are enslaved and fighting the meaninglessness of our jobs, even if it's the same job that carried us. Money has nothing to do with happiness. The best part of wealth is wanting it.

But the solution for this is actually not that difficult. Just keep going. Don't settle. And look to bigger and better things. Move your inner struggle to something external, and work hard on it.

No one is suppose to be happy. That is, by definition, a sad state to be in.
That's true. Exit nodes do not play a role in hidden services. But, Rendezvous point does. So, If your node somehow selected as rendezvous point for meeting, then you could possibly sniff the traffic.
That's a bit generous of a TL;DR, don't you think?

The reason civil asset forfeiture is controversial is that property can be seized even when a crime has not actually occurred but is merely alleged, and the owner of the property has not been proven guilty of a crime.

There are dirty cops who have taken people's cash on the basis of trumped up charges. This isn't the first time this has been reported on in the US.

HN? Aren't you talking about Facebook? Here now, I formulate another hypotheses about this suicide level rising: Facebook is causing suicide! Everybody is happier there.
It is encrypted, but when you're going to facebookcorewwwi.onion you only know that you're connecting to server that knows the corresponding private key, of which "facebookcorewwwi" is a hash. Which is already good. However, seeing EV certificate on this domain also shows you that the corresponding private key for HTTPS connection is signed by a certificate authority: that is, if you trust this CA, you can pretty much trust that you're connecting to Facebook, Inc.
What about the buildup of microdebris in dumps?

You throw away a plastic bag, which is 100% legal btw, you create a long-term effect.

If you outlaw the disposal of plastic bags, how the hell do you enforce this regime? Do you hire a bunch of police officers to dig through people's garbage, and then fine people whenever they find a plastic-bag in the mix? I mean... yeah... I guess that's fair. But this is a very unrealistic system.

From a practicality point of view, a $0.05 bag tax seems damn fair.
No, it's not. It's sympathy. Empathy involves a bit of imagination that most people lack.

edit:

"Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another being (a human or non-human animal) is experiencing from within the other being's frame of reference, i.e., the capacity to place oneself in another's position."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy

It's just the way that these words happen to be defined in English. They stand for different, but related concepts.

This is incorrect, exit nodes are not involved with hidden services.

So does anyone have a less crappy alternative to Amazon? After canceling my prime membership this year it's gotten even worse trying to use them. Their shipping fees for non-prime users are insane.
Seems like a good idea to have solar on every building, but I have to ask: how many new buildings go up in SF in a year?

I thought the problem was that they have a lot of architecture preservation and not enough new office and residential construction.

Similar to Boston and Manhattan, mature cities where there isn't that much new construction, so this kind of ordinance seems more symbolic than practical.
You had it in the Wikipedia article linked by the op.

Edit... anyway: De Lezo took part in the Spanish Sucession War. In that war, Catalonia lost some fueros (middle ages common law) because it was against the Borbons (that won) and in the revisionist version of history that we're hearing in very recent years, that's tantamount to genocide.
It's not planned obsolescence. Batteries that require tools to replace are commonplace in phones and tablets, because they allow the device to be made smaller and stronger.

Apple will replace an iPhone battery for $79; Independent repairers charge about half that. You can do it yourself with a screwdriver and a suction cup.
Isn't this article laced with sordid propaganda?

Stopped reading after "The now-infamous... " and noticed the comment "Broken for whom?" posted below by a user almost immediately after the article was posted on HN.

I wonder who this individual is?, who feels happy about our dragnet/mass surveillance programs. And what he thinks about "hack open just this phone" to "does not scale" statements recently?
With the meek-amazon or meek-azure bridges it works fine, albeit slowly.
This is very fascinating.

How does the rocket science work here? Like how do you run different programming languages in the client side.

Do they pass the code to the server and run it in there then pass it to the client?
Why would you do browser-sharing on mobile? It's useless enough on the desktop, where it kind of makes sense...

Great idea! I'm no UX expert, but here are some nit picks

1. The font on the verify screen with the numbers made my eyes spazz out. Keep the numbers horizontally aligned

2. The little icons above the event details would probably be better suited with initials. My 4 letter name got cut off after 3.

3. At the bottom of the event details it says "Will wait 1d 13h 25m for". What does that mean?

The comment implies that real developers do not use Homebrew.

While I agree with the criticism of publication, there have been 7 Nobel prize winners due to self-experimentation. On top of that:

In a remarkable 89% of instances, the self-experiments obtained positive results in support of a hypothesis or valuable data that had been sought. In the remaining studies in which results were either negative or inconclusive, some of the negative results could be viewed as beneficial in directing investigators into more fruitful avenues of research.

Even then, different versions will have their own misses... not to mention 3rd party libraries on another CDN means another DNS hit.

DNS resolution time is a pretty significant impact for a lot of sites.
No, the suggestion is that something that discourages building new homes for the rich now, will also have the future impact of reducing the amount of housing available for the poor. A building that houses rich people today could easily house middle class people in 25 years and poor people in 50 years as it becomes less desirable as it ages.

This makes me want to not have Prime anymore. It seems so clear that it's only a matter of time until they start trying to extract even more money from the prime members as well. Why would I fool myself into thinking they'd treat us any better when they think we're semi-locked-in/less likely to leave because of the subscription.

The Founders forgot to grant voters a check-and-balance role on the 3 branches of government by allowing them to unvote laws that are passed by their duly elected representatives and otherwise tell the various executives and judges across the country that they are doing things wrong. They thought it was enough to let voters focus on securing representatives. They were wrong, and we continue to see the effects of just how well things work for the People when we only get asked to be involved every couple of years.

At some companies, divulging performance or personal issues about an ex-employee could land you in a lot of trouble. Be sure you're clear to talk about previous employees freely.

If a company goes around and bad-mouths every employee that leaves the organization it could potentially have legal consequences.
You still have to pay for it up front. So free down the line doesn't mean much.
Sidenote, because I think this is fascinating:

Just because a noun is a mass word in one language, it doesn't mean it has to be in other languages that have borrowed the word.

For example, in my language, "lego" is a mass word, and to make a plural you would have to say something like "pieces of lego", but in English, the plural of "lego" is "legos".
Well yes, obviously you'd try to reduce the birth rate nicely first, and maybe that's a complete solution (to a problem you suggested), but that doesn't answer the question.

I'm asking what you do if population growth starts to outpace food production despite your best efforts? Do you start killing old people, or do you stop letting people have babies?
While I initially thought this was funny- it's incredibly unethical... not that ethics really matters to a growing number of people anymore.
Not the commenter, but I came across this term in the book Fields of Blood by Karen Armstrong. Essentially society requires violence to function. In the beginning, someone had to coerce farmers to produce a surplus, with this surplus the first states and militaries were built. As societies evolved, the violence became less overt and more implied, embedded within the structures of the state. At some point, in order to have a society and not anarchy, you have to have people telling other people what to do, and these people can't take no for an answer. All you can do is reshuffle it so it's less and less onerous over time.

It's a thread that runs throughout the book, in order to explain religion and nationalism and war were deeply entwined all throughout recorded history and well into prehistory for as long as we've had the mental capacity to think about matters larger than we are.

This. The root of the problem isn't economic - the culture is broken.
I think the direction of the influence would mostly works the other way round. If there's an attribute on the HTML link tag that some browsers recognise as calling the browser's client-side version of that library (with local/CDN fallback for browsers that don't) then users are going to notice that browser X seems to load a lot of websites more quickly than browser Y, which puts pressure on the vendor of browser Y to make sure it also supports these frequently-used js libraries (especially if they're large frequently-used libraries with multiple minor version numbers and no widely-accepted-as-canonical CDN source)

This is still a shame if you're maintaining a heavyweight alternative to jQuery or React which is far too obscure to be a consideration for browser vendors, but it's a big boon for users, especially users on slow or metered connections that download several different version numbers of jQuery from several different CDNs every day.
...unless it's a hashmap inside a hashmap. Or named fields in an object holding pointers that use no keys after compilation.

The point being that hierarchical structures in programming languages abstract away from the underlying representation, and you can use them without knowing the details. (Though you should probably know anyway, so you understand your Big-O tradeoffs.)

Ridiculous. One experiment I did in elementary school had something to do with rocks. Another was seeing how drinks (juice, pop, etc.) ruin teeth (I had a lot of spare baby teeth at that time), and another where I spoon-fed baby food to people to see how they reacted to the taste while blindfolded, nose plugged, etc.

All that without paperwork, and I'm not even very old -- I'm only in my early 20s.
