You start off by saying "The user might use his control to make his computer less secure" which is true. But just two sentences later you claim "users choose to not upgrade their insecure software" which is obviously false. They might but the might not.

I could argue the same way and claim that removing user choice might make the computer less secure e.g. by forcing updates to an insecure version, installing backdoors etc. In the real world, this is exactly what happens. Therefore removing user control makes computers less secure. Now do you agree or do you think that my argument is deeply flawed?

This.

The strange thing is that in both cases we are often talking about vulnerable people (less true for people who join the army with a view to do officer training).

The images we have in our head for what constitutes as a 'vulnerable man' and 'vulnerable woman' are very different despite the definitions being very similar. Likely to get into crime, harmful use of drugs, alcoholism these are all halmarks of vulnerable people but men have a societally acceptable way out, the army. For women (who make up the majority of sex workers) there is no such option.

Why can we not see sex work as a genuine service to society not just for the workers but also to alleviate the anger and frustration of those who have difficulty getting sex otherwise?

With respect to Attenborough, the RRS David Attenborough is a very unexciting choice and isn't going to do anything at all to raise the profile of environmental research.

It's more like democracies have been electing Celebreties more than leaders for a while now. Thanks to social media and the 247 hype cycle, the best celebs whether its Obama or Trump or Kim Kardashian, are capable of capturing the scatterbrained attention of the herd.
And thats what we are wasting our time selecting for in elections...whether in US, Canada, India, Indonesia its playing out everywhere. We are going to keep electing celebrities. And thats why so many ppl are sick of it cause we know are not getting leaders.
I like visualizing task importance like this. But there are several reasons why I will not install this app:

1. The name is absolutely terrible. "Task Manager To Round" is nonsense to me, and I'm a native English speaker. Bad names imply poor design and lack of support.

2. The visualization is too simplistic. When I think about laying my tasks out with visual feedback, I expect to be able to represent the task with a photo or some kind of attachment. Your app might be capable of that, but if it is, there's nothing on your pages that convey that.

3. The screenshot of the widget on your Play Store listing implies that the task bubbles are all the same size on the widget view. That completely defeats the purpose I'd have for the widget, and I consider widgets crucial for task management, so that's a turn-off.

Again, these are just my impressions from your store listings. I wish you luck.

I'm sorry, but the internet has made Sanders supporters lose touch with reality; Hillary Clinton, even at the very end, still beat Sanders by double digits (source: http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-national-d...). The Obama vs Clinton matchup was much, much closer. We're only talking a few point difference.

I saw this same thing happen back in 2008 with Ron Paul. Paul supporters had a hard time believing that Paul didn't stand a chance.

The reason Clinton trounced Sanders is multifaceted; First off, Sanders is old and he's Jewish. Unfortunately, that puts some people off right away (bigotry and prejudice is still alive and well in America). Secondly, he embraced the term Socialist. While people under 40 may be aware of what that term entails (we think of European/democratic socialism, not Russian/Chinese socialism) the older generation & boomers still thinks of the commies and pinkos. America is still 10-30 years away from using that word without the stigma & negative connotations. And that kind of sums up Sanders; he's espousing an ideology that America isn't quite ready for.

We need to move further to the left a bit. Kind of like how the GOP has kept moving this country to the right over the last 35 years, we need to move it back to the center, and ultimately to the left. I'm a democratic socialist myself but even I knew Sanders didn't stand a chance. That's because I'm aware that it's going to take some time. Perhaps a couple decades. It starts with small steps, electing moderates who lean left, then finally left candidates like Sanders.

The added publicity, at no cost to Greenpeace, gave it enough impact to convince the Japanese government, and the plan to hunt Humpback whales was abandoned in December 2007.

> In Campaign Magazine, advertising guru Russell Davies praised Greenpeace's handling of the campaign as "one of the defining moments in New Media marketing." The name has since spawned clothing, logos, flashvideos, and the slogan "Save Mister Splashy Pants."
What's the meaning of mentioning "people have to leave their home towns" if not that they have greater rights to live and work there?
Ugh, I completely agree. I'm Canadian and it's been a dream of mine for a long time to work for SpaceX.

I'll gladly take a big paycut and live in bumfuck nowhere, California to do it (my wife is another story but that's a different discussion).

But every time this USA chant comes up I just imagine what it would be like to be in that crowd and be absolutely exhilarated at each success - not just for the company but for HUMANITY (which I already do through the webcast), and feel nothing but cringe and exclusion when the USA chant started.

They really gotta reign that in because you just KNOW it's a couple of aggro-patriotic douchebags that start it and everyone else joins in out of excitement and tribal cohesion not because it's the thing that everyone feels in that moment.

Your comment on open primaries is outrageously wrong. Clinton overwhelmingly won the open primaries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_presidentia...
The life and the work back then is very different from the life and work that we have now. A big factor is that there is no war to motivate people to work hard. Another is that labour circumstances are very very different now than what they were previously.

Finally almost nobody who reads HN does repetitive manual labour. Manual productivity is very different from mental productivity.

From my own experience, I'm not even productive for 40 hours per week. Let alone working 50 hours consistently every week.
I second having something more classy. Japan is renowned for its package design, so why not include this aspect as part of what's being sold? Maybe something like how Meiji brands their goods. That illustration/design would seem to me to make you less differentiated from your competitors who are tacking on candy to their other "nerd culture" offerings.

My takeaway from the post is that he wants to replace Agile (clause 1: "individuals and interactions over processes and tools") with an ill-defined process (CD) and a big old pile of tools.

Blaming capitalism for this missed a lot of facts. Housing supply is artificially restricted through zoning and other regulations. And housing demand is artificially stimulated through various tax breaks and subsidies. Neither are market forces and they certainly combine to drive up prices.

Maybe other factors are at work here. I hear foreign nationals like buying real estate to hedge against their home countries' political and economic stability. But that wouldn't be capitalism either. It would be foreign policy affecting Britain and the US for a change, instead of the other way around.

In a surprise move, Sir David Attenborough legally changes his name to Boaty McBoatface in support of the Internet hordes. Facing waning popularity, this maneuver is seen as a means of returning to the cult-icon status days he experienced as a broadcaster. When asked for comment, Sir McBoatface stated "I'm a few days short of my ninetieth birthday and let's face it - once I'm gone nobody's going to remember a name like Attenborough. As Boaty McBoatface, my name will actually be remembered. Would you like fries with that?"

If names aren't fixed, how do you (for example) link from one website to another?

If you have a website running under a server with a name in your GNS domain and you want to link to a server with the name 'www' in a different GNS domain, you'd add a PKEY record for that GNS domain to your GNS domain (eg. called 'foo'). You can then link to https://www.foo.+/ and it will DTRT - someone browsing your site under the name www.jonathonw.gnu will resolve the link destination as www.foo.jonathonw.gnu.

Or share a name with another user?

If you want to share a link with someone I guess you'd share the .zkey version.

You must be able to provide some examples of jobs that will be created.

So when machine learning will remove the need for radiologist and many surgeons as it's already well underway to. What areas is it that these doctors will then be able to work in thats going to be of value?

It's ironic how steadfast many of you are in this idea that more jobs will be created when there is no evidence it's the case and the new jobs that are created require much less than whatever it replaced.

You are also confusing globalization with actual job creation in the west.

In my experience, the code monolith doesn't need to be utopian/pristine in order to refactor to microservices, but it does need one thing: each (potential) microsevice MUST own it's own datastore.

If I have a widgets service, and it shares a datastore with my foobar service, things become very tricky to refactor. Furthermore, if every update to the widgets table requires an update to the foobar table, the unnecessary complexity is still there.

So before decoupling to microservices, I would try to refactor the monolith such that each future-service is storing its own data in a silo. This usually requires non-trivial changes to the way your apis are being consumed, and thats where the real work comes in. It also takes embracing some data design patterns that folks might be uncomfortable with (redundancy, inconsistency, etc). But once you jump those hurdles, you're usually good to go.

Hope that helps. It's not easy, by any means, but it is worth it (IMHO). But oh, yes, you're definitely going to need a strong devops/ops team to keep a suite of microservices running. Containerizing each service (such that the ops people don't have to maintain N different server types) is a good first step towards making their lives easier.

Really interesting responses from people on here, thanks for sharing. I've learnt a lot. I live in Africa where taking your career seriously is something one cannot afford to take for granted, we do not all have the luxury of traveling the world and a good well paying job is one of the securities one can have. Albeit that, I've read people complain about how they should have spent more time outside, thinking of it now, it hit me that I don't want to regret when am older (24 ATM) so instead of the extra work this afternoon I have decide to have lunch with my girlfriend and no am not working on the weekends, I'll take my sisters shopping. That's the good thing about remote work :)
The worst thing about this is that it will turn out that the developers involvement will be relatively innocuous in the grand scheme of things, hence the lack of any real urgency from the FBI, but it is terrifying for both the developer and as a citizen that he FBI seem to be inept and/or deliberately making it so difficult to speak with someone who it would appear they think can assist them.

I have used Didi quite a bit, it's somewhat easier to arrange custom deals with the drivers, like all-day-driver, etc. But the Uber experience was a lot smoother for simple rides from A->B, at least for foreigners. This is in Shanghai/Beijing and surrounding cities.
I don't see how chanting for a group, without any implicit or explicit diminishment of other groups compares to hate speech against sexual minorities. Also, chants are not a company policy, it's what employees spontaneously do in their own private space, which you saw on their own private broadcast.

(If we're bringing SJW approach into this, then I think you're advocating the minority (SpaceX employees) should adapt to the random cultural expectations of the entitled majority, or whatever.)

If you're saying they should be more considerate, that's fine, but they're free to disregard that opinion.

Personally, I refuse to get outraged - outrage is more often than not a problem with the person who choses to indulge it.
