> Heck, you can't even ride your bike while drunk in Japan.

That is true in many places officially, though a blind eye is often turned.

In the UK (my location) this is covered by section 30 or the Road Traffic Act (1988): "It is an offence for a person to ride a cycle on a road or other public place when unfit to ride through drink or drugs".

You can't be breathalysed (well, you can but you can't be forced to, if they ask you can decline unlike when in a car or other such vehicle) or be made to give other samples (though as with breath, if they ask and you volunteer the sample can be used as evidence), but other tests can be demanded (i.e. the standard finger-to-nose, straight-line, and alphabet physical & mental coordination tests). It'll not affect your driving license if you have one but there are potentially significant fines.

> If people are able to "pay" for better, faster internet access, how can we regulate it as a public utility for everyone? One might argue that it seems "unfair" (for certain definitions).

I fail to see how this has anything to do with network neutrality. You pay for your internet connection, I pay for mine. There's nothing unfair about me having a 100M connection and you having a 1G connection.

Network neutrality only bans preferential treatment of service providers, it has nothing to do with who has what kind of connection.

> This is related to internet billing: Do we bill the downloader? The uploader? How do we measure it? How do we verify the measurement? What if someone MITM injects packets?

Internet access billing has fairly established practices. There are no unknowns there. It's either flat rate in retail or 95th percentile in wholesale. Metered billing is an anomaly that can be largely be done away with.

MITM packet injection is not really something you have to worry about. Suffice to say spoofing can be largely prevented.

> We need to make decisions and figure things out in order to get internet to the level of, say, electricity.

There really isn't much to figure out. You can sell Internet access almost the same way you sell electricity.
There's a debate to be had about "no such thing as free banking" - I'm very familiar with the world of prepay in the UK and retail banking practice is a big headwind here.
You have basically described Uber (1). No co-incidence that Uber is interested in self-driving cars. "Do I want to own one?" is the wrong question, why bother owning one when you can summon one when you want it?

Even easier: how many up votes did the original "Apply HN" for Pinboard get before he sent out his first tweet about it?

If it's more than what one of the "winners" got in the second poll, then the whole argument is over.
Yup, I'm aware of that but also know that the situation is very dependent on where you live (prefectures, cities, etc.) which is why I want to see numbers and actual studies rather than a hollow criticism. The differences in cultures is real. I think I've given enough examples to show that. The question is, have the people criticizing the numbers done any real studies? Because in a vacuum, 40,000 charging spots, regardless of whether or not they are private or public, is an amazing number.
I think Steve Jobs said this, "Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me"

And it happens where I live too (in Japan). But I have seen police officers stop people who were obviously drunk from riding their bike too. It's very situational, but at least in Japan, it's a real enough thing that people actively think about it here.
If I can tell correctly, these statements were used as examples of bullshit (from [1]):

1. Hidden meaning transforms unparalleled abstract
beauty.

2. Good health imparts reality to subtle creativity.

3. Wholeness quiets infinite phenomena.

4. The future explains irrational facts.

5. Imagination is inside exponential space time events.

6. We are in the midst of a self aware blossoming of being that will align us with the nexus itself.

7. Consciousness consists of frequencies of quantum energy. “Quantum” means an unveiling of the unrestricted.

8. Consciousness is the growth of coherence, and of us.

9. We are in the midst of a high frequency blossoming of interconnectedness that will give us access to the quantum soup itself.

10. Today, science tells us that the essence of nature is joy.

(I definitely fall prey to 4.)

Some additional commentary (from [2]):

> Although this statement may seem to convey some sort of potentially profound meaning, it is merely a collection of buzzwords put together randomly in a sentence that retains syntactic structure. The bullshit statement is not merely non-sense, as would also be true of the following, which is not bullshit:

> “Unparalleled transforms meaning beauty hidden abstract”.

I wonder what kind of bullshit other political groups (liberals, libertarians, anarchists, ...) fall prey to.

Honestly the format looks a bit over-engineered IMHO. The task is quite simple: make build system that executes jobs on clusters. So why not get best build configuration format practices and just make them run over network? For example ninja build system [1] format is quite good in my opinion, so just make runtime execute commands over network. Or travis-ci [2] is another example of well designed configuration format, and it really enables developers to write small and powerful configurations. Sure it was even done before (though mostly for C/C++ stuff), like IncrediBuild [3] for example, or FASTBuild [4] or distcc [5]. Though the case with precise control of pipes could be improved in current build systems, but not sure how important it is for this application.

> While that may not seem intrinsically harder, none of these are typically something you can Google or search StackOverflow for the answers on.

From my multi-threaded background - The problem is, the code looks simple and the code actually doesn't get more complicated. Usually, the code you need to write in 90% of the time actually becomes easier to write for most people, because they can work in rigidly defined boundaries.

However, explaining why this part of the code base is safely threaded and scales vertically across multiple cores, and how we avoided multiple non-obvious bottle-necks, and the optimization the software 3 services in the past matters... that's going to take hours. And at that point, we haven't touched lock-free operations yet.

And after that, understanding how to design an architecture from scratch, how to interact with the network and the kernel properly, how to enable distribution of the application in an elastic manner... yeah. Let's get a room.

And these kind of systems are exactly the systems which benefit from the SICP-approach. Thread pools, message queues, databases, the network, lock-free data structures all are well-understood components we can combine in structured manners.

An important question, certainly.
I only ever did the homework I was interested in and quite a few times it helped me understand it better.
The Daisy ad was based on an apparent willingness to use nukes in Vietnam. The other effective ad they mention was based on a quote that said the US would be better if it sawed off the entire Eastern seabord.

I'm not a historian of US politics, but it strikes me that Goldwater may have just had a lot of terrible opinions and policies.
I haven't read the full article yet but this reminds me of a study last year "On the reception and detection of pseudo-profound bullshit" which was published in the journal Judgment & Decision Making and was a fun read[1].

I will post the conclusion here which is rather funny:

> Bullshit is a consequential aspect of the human condition. Indeed, with the rise of communication technology, people are likely encountering more bullshit in their everyday lives than ever before. Profundity ratings for statements containing a random collection of buzzwords were very strongly correlated with a selective collection of actual “Tweets” from Deepak Chopra’s “Twitter” feed (r’s = .88–89). At the time of this writing, Chopra has over 2.5 million followers on “Twitter” and has written more than twenty New York Times bestsellers. Bullshit is not only common; it is popular.3 Chopra is, of course, just one example among many. Using vagueness or ambiguity to mask a lack of meaningfulness is surely common in political rhetoric, marketing, and even academia (Sokal, 2008). Indeed, as intimated by Frankfurt (2005), bullshitting is something that we likely all engage in to some degree (p. 1): “One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share.” One benefit of gaining a better understanding of how we reject other’s bullshit is that it may teach us to be more cognizant of our own bullshit.
The construction of a reliable index of bullshit receptivity is an important first step toward gaining a better understanding of the underlying cognitive and social mechanisms that determine if and when bullshit is detected. Our bullshit receptivity scale was associated with a relatively wide range of important psychological factors. This is a valuable first step toward gaining a better understanding of the psychology of bullshit.

> Also, people in Japan tend to live in multifamily buildings, and private garages can be quite large and serve a lot of cars.

How would you get the driver to reliably go back to the garage to move the car to a non-charging spot after completion? Sharing a parking charger between multiple users requires enormous coordination when usage patterns are not naturally collision free. Without autonomous parking and plugging, the whole concept of charging while parking is effectively creating a 1:1 relationship between chargers and cars

My physics teacher attempted some reverse psychology on me and banned me from doing homework. After a while, I think when he figured out I was happy with that, he got fed up with that routine and started asking for the homework again but I still didn't bother.

In hindsight my grades probably suffered, but only as far as the fact I didn't have all this still drilled into my memory. I doubt it made me any less smart, and instead of doing said homework, I played with my computer which blossumed into a highly paid career.
Thats what I thought. Front End involves knowing a lot of quirks between browsers / css / JS and I find it a lot less about solving problems in an abstract way. Instead its solving "why does this display this way one one machine and another way on that machine" problems.

> Their deposits are covered by government guarantees, whereas the richer clients are left more exposed.

This is not a case of greater protection for "small people".

a) event that may trigger this protection is very rare

b) "small people" are getting shafted with excessive fees all the time

So no, you don't.

How about keeping agreements between bank and client clear and short? Richer clients don't get caught on those, poorer do.
This game off whack-a-mole feels different. Unlike the typical "memory corruption of the week", this kind of stuff isn't fixed by a simple browser update and inherited "for free" by all sites. And, this kind of fix doesn't enable a browser to ship with a secure default. Instead, it adds a new thing you have to opt into and retroactively add to all existing links on your site. That is a fair bit of work, and adding more and more of those kinds of features for nominal gain is a tough sell. That is a much more painful game of whack-a-mole and isn't an approach that scales well. The CSP solution at least has a potentially simpler scaling solution to the problem.

You can't grep dead trees.

I learned by going to four libraries (village, town, high school and city) and reading every single book on computers and programming they had plus the entire set of manuals for every system I encountered and any additional systems for which manuals were available. That was basically the whole of my 80s. [0] In the 90s I spent significant enough proportion of my disposable income on programming books that until recently off loaded a dozen crates them they made up the majority of my material possessions by both weight and bulk.

These days I just google stuff.

Also, the selection bias in the survey probably excludes book learners.

This word "risk." I do not think it means what you think it means.

Just because someone has lots of money (their own or a VC's) doesn't mean they aren't risking that money when they put it into a startup. The money is at risk because it probably WON'T be returned, let alone increased.

I think what you're conflating with risk is actually diversification. You're only willing to cry for the people who are "all in" on a single investment. Arguably, being diversified is the sensible thing to do and it's the idiots who don't make sensible choices who you shouldn't cry for.

Nope.

If I was doing mental exercise then there was always more interesting things to do it with than the homework my teachers set.
As somebody who's never (or almost never) done homework, I have to say that I regret not doing it. I've always understood most of the material being taught and I've always seen homework as a waste of time (this is also a good excuse because I simply was lazy), however I have to admit that the very few times I've managed to sit down and do some homework, it really was useful (but I never admitted it).

Just practicing math problems, or typing out notes and essays, or even practicing a new language... That's all stuff that is useful. Sure you can go without, and probably schools assign way more than they should (I know it was the case for me), but homework itself at least is not a negative thing.
You have to look at the reverse as well. Did charismatic presidents win re-election despite things that should have torpedoed them?
As an outsider, I found the technical term the profession chose (according to the study, I don't know that branch of study myself), to be profoundly distracting. The profession made a really bad choice by choosing to go with it.

It's literally vulgar slang. It's as though a report on being deemed sexual attractiveness called it "fuckability
".
The profession should have called it "nonsense" or come up with some other qualifier, not chosen vulgar slang.
I recently read about the SIMD support for Javascript. While parallelism and distributed systems contribute a lot to the OS, SIMD is something nice to have on top that. So, JS may be single threaded but having SIMD support might speed things up.

That's bound to be a representative sample.
>I thought geeks an nerds enjoyed homework for the fact it is mental exercise if nothing else.

Not really. Obviously there are different types of "geeks" and "nerds", but generally those type of people enjoy tinkering and playing around the stuff they care about. They certainly don't like being forced to perform menial and repetitive tasks (as often homework is) because somebody else told them to.
> Closing the connection would cause the client to believe that the file has been fully downloaded - resulting in a truncated file. Not good.

That's not correct. Both Content-Length and the chunked encoding scheme would allow the client to know that the connection was terminated before the end of stream was reached.
Linux 16.04 exploit
Thanks for this comment. Actually I have considered embedded a lot. I love C, specially free standing C.

I will probably move to embedded soon. Problem is I have lot of experience with iOS but not that much experience with embedded, I'm willing to get a pay cut just to get out of iOS but there's a limit of how low I can go.

There's also a lot more iOS jobs than embedded jobs!

edit: Other than C, I'm very curious about rust and nim-lang. I do not know C++ though. Hope that won't be a problem.

I imagine the type of people who seek income from Mechanical Turk can skew these results significantly.
Leicester City 2016: Not only a great sports story, a great story.
My brother is studying to be a teacher (In the UK) and I asked him what his opinion was on homework.

He told me that it's a good way to get students to do some study/open up the text book when they wouldn't have without a punishment if they didn't.

This, in my opinion leads to more stress and more work on those trying hard to study AND do homework. Each subject wants at least 1 hour of your home time and a student can have anywhere from 2-8 subject to study a night.
It seems that some sites disappear into a black hole (such as Kuro5hin) and some become dwarf stars (like Slashdot) - they're still burning, just not giving off much heat or light.
Keeping aside the clearly political nature of the content, this study itself seems quite poorly designed & amateurish.

A well designed study would mix "bullshit" and "non-bullshit" statements of similar complexity and look at signals on both for comparison. Better still, the "bullshit" statements would be derived from mixing words from the "non-bullshit" statement pool.
It's very bad for PLoS to use these clickbaity titles.
That doesn't follow. If they had one reader, who paid them a million dollars per year, then they'd still be in business. So, if they had a million users, who paid them one dollar per year, they MIGHT be in business because it would cost a lot more to deliver to a million people than to one person.

By throwing up the ad blocker wall they're saving the cost of serving anything more than an ad blocker wall to the people who aren't paying them. Sure, they're limiting their audience, but they're limiting themselves to a PAYING audience.

The people who are willing to pay them might change their minds in the future, but their decision won't have anything to do with the unknown number of people bouncing off of the ad blocker wall.
