Human rights are rights for humans - not just a luxury of those with free time and money. If people can be coerced to waiving their rights, then the mechanism of oppression changes - not the oppression itself.

Second, boycotting isn't as effective as demands. When consumer bases set labor, environmental and other standards on imports, historically speaking, compliance follows.

Lastly, I'd welcome lots of immigrants. No problem. I want more of them.

"Don't get carried away with "dying for .. something", most often this is not true - most died because delusional leaders sent them into battle ... only after the fact their death got dressed into "honorable cause".."

There is a broad spectrum of (personal) causes that leads one to follow an order which inherently brings with it the risk of dying. Many deaths were of people that did not had any real choice other than avoiding prosecution (which sometimes involved certain death). Many where brain washed by propaganda. Maybe not that many actually trusted in their war masters if not understanding themselves what they are fighting (and dying) for. Some, however, might have had an understanding of the cause behind the fights they were involved in, and being seduced by pure ideas/ideals rolled on as true volunteers. It's not that nice to make this distinction when talking about the dead and for the sake of it they choose to elevate all the victims to the last category, of heroes (in ideals).

No serious game developer should care about Amazon Lumberyard in the first place, other than informationally.

Lumberyard is an immense lock in to the amazon stack with a lot of small print, a huge risk if you believe your game to be worth anything.
Funnily enough that API is already highly restricted: You can only show that single dialog box, you cannot modify the actions of the cancel and leave buttons and you cannot perform any asynchronous operations within the callback. (Technically you can, but the browser won't wait for them to finish)

All this was introduced to prevent abuse. Apparently it still wasn't enough though...

Chromebook SSH, how to go ahead with that?
So, i have a Chromebook, setup with a simple Debian CLI. How would one go ahead to set up SSH and use secure-shell with tmux and stuff set up ?
Yeah I agree with your second point. Society isn't ready for consenting multi-culturalism, the idea that someone might actually like something you find barbaric is a difficult one.

As to your first point, calling out dog whistles may be extreme, but it's only a response to the extreme absolutism of public figures calling for "No muslims allowed. No Mexicans allowed. No Chinese goods. Build a wall, etc.".

They could propose sensible options like cultural integration courses. Limited immigration from acceptably similar countries. Maybe even remember the foundational concept of freedom of religion... But while they're still pandering to the extremes, I'll still call it dog whistling.

The issue is not the government wants to exempt themselves from FOIA, or Privacy Laws

The issue is that the government is allowed to compile these databases in the first place.

If I am not under active investigation, then the FBI has no business keeping records on me in the first place. If I am not suspected of a crime, they should not have my face, my prints, or anything else about me in their databases.

I dont even agree with giving them the authority to keep records of people convicted of any crime in the past forever. There should be auto expunge say after 10 years with out any further criminal conviction especially for crimes that do not involve injury to another party (aka drug crimes, serious traffic offenses and other "victimless crimes" )

You seem to have it all figured out. I wish you well.
Not so much. One of the things that I think makes Pipelines better suited for cloud is that it's agent-less. But that does mean there's no option to run an agent on-premise to bridge pipeline execution. Indeed, if you are accustomed to Bamboo, you are likely to find Bitbucket Pipelines rather minimalist. For example, there is currently no facility for aggregating test results.

Incorrect, you do need to provide an email address (bogus one works fine) and tick the Ts&Cs box.
He forgot his laptop, because it wasn't on the belt when he came out of the scanner. They gave it away before he had a chance to forget it. The couple of minutes it took him to realise that he didn't actually all of his stuff off the belt (even though, he did, since the laptop wasn't there any more) wouldn't have made a difference since somebody else has taken it beforehand anyway.

Sure Napoleon too. And there were other parties before the parties we talk about here proposing the same things.

The point of of course is that if that is was nazist is the argument, completely ignoring the current context and reality then it's not really worthy of anything but equally retarded attempts to morally paint something s you don't have to actually make a case.
The "world" is voting against allowing large unchecked migration to drastically that scares people and/or changes their local areas in ways they are uncomfortable with first and foremost.

My neighbours are a good example. I live in the UK. My ex is black African, and I'm Norwegian. Our neighbours are far right.

Yet they've always been nice to us. If politics ever comes out, one of the first things that gets said is "but not you". They have black and asian friends, despite supporting a party that wants to deport all non-anglo-saxons. It's always about the scary "others" that they worry are stealing their jobs ("but not you") until they get to know they. People who meet them quickly recognise that, hence why they have friends who come to their house who you'd think might have wanted nothing to do with them.

It's not about race, or culture, or religion per se. It's that they're afraid of how change will affect them.

In the UK, we see this clearly reflected in voting patterns too: The racist and/or anti-immigration candidates do best in the areas with the lowest or very highest amount of immigration: The areas where this is an abstract fear and most people have no friends who aren't white-British, and the usually deprived areas where there's a core of poor white people feeling under siege.

The best way to counter these attitudes, it seems, is moderate levels of immigrants spread out more. Of course that would take a lot of investment in redistributing social housing and building more affordable housing in wealthier areas - ultimately this is a socio-economic problem first and foremost.
This is correct, as can be seen from the following tweet retweeted by Forbrukerrådet and therefore currently on display on the OP link: https://mobile.twitter.com/PRlinjen/status/73507293647489024...
"For Europe and Japan, population is in decline."

For some of Europe the population is declining and in some places it is increasing - when added together the two pretty much balance out:

Of course that data ignores recent immigration trends!

In all seriousness, I'm supposed to believe that someone who has released a system like win10 is ethical? They made their goals clear with this one.

Agreed it does seem unlikely that one could observe fundamental particles by looking inwards. Probably best to understand his use of language from particle physics as analogy. I don't suppose old Goenka had much of an education in modern science, you could cut the guy some slack :)

In WW2, polish armed forces were an active participant fighting for the Allies, so the preservation of some of the polish civilians in Ally-controled territories was not a humanitarian help, but merely a part of the bargain.

Not sure about Poland being Schengen beneficiaries (how to even compute that)? As for Poland profitting from the EU in general, I think it's hard to compute - we are receiving large handouts in exchange for completely opening our markets to western capital - which have crushed 99% of polish businesses, which won't probably ever reach the first-world standards (i.e., due to open market policies, we probably won't ever have something like polish Intel or Toyota,). It's a great deal for western capitalists (their multinational corps get to conquer yet another market), much less so for people of either western countries (whose taxes pay for the handouts) or Poland.

I don't know about Poland accusing the UK of scapegoating migrants, do you have any sources?

The Greece is overwhelmed due to EU's total ineptness in protecting its borders combined with the stupidity (maliciousness?) of EU's leaders, (see Merkel's Willkommenskultur). I agree that we (Poland) are partially responsible for the immigration crisis, in that we didn't call for stronger border defense for EU when the alarming signals started coming (years ago) - but there are countries in EU which are either much more influential than us or much closer to the problem, and they did nothing either.

One last point - the current instability in Syria is rooted in colonial exploitation of the whole region by England and France. Unlike them, Poland never messed those people up, why should we clean up the fallout?

After years working at a company that has a 10 year old on-prem and had a saas app as well, here is my POV on this:

On premise vs saas is a trade off in the type of customer support.

With on-prem, you do have support complicated by customers have unique infrastructure, and varying degrees of knowledge and post within their organization. Some people are adept, some are not. Some support keeps you screen sharing for hours, some do not.

In general for on-prem, support is done via your customer support app, professionally, as you're usually dealing with an IT department.

On the other hand, SaaS customer support volune/time is a measure of how often you break stuff for ALL (some, of you're lucky) of you're customers at the same time). Often an issue is experienced by many rather than a single person. "Always" (ish) it's your fault instead of being an issue of a customers configuration or infrastructure. Often Twitter becomes the public stomping ground for complaints, as you get end-users going to Twitter rather than an issue bumped up from an end user took their IT before reaching you.

In considering of you want to support on-prem, a key point is to keep your software simple. For example, optionally (and easily) logging to files instead of <third party here> to reduce requirements on external systems (elastic search).

Making the app as simple and easy to run as possible is pretty important. Definitely very strongly consider if you need to rely on that saas app for your App to run.

Ask HN: Required Sign Up Pop-Up on Homepage?

Landing the first stage is impressive but actually useful only in so far as it allows you to reuse it. SpaceX has yet to show that they can actually reuse the first stage. It will take longer still to show that they can do it reliably.

Let's skip a few steps and assume they've achieved that. That's an important innovation, it changes the economics, will allow SpaceX to drop prices and potentially grow the market substantially.

All of that would be amazing and a huge achievement but it would not push the frontier, it only brings in money that can be used for projects that do that. I would argue that for this reason it's not game-changing, it's incremental progress that enables further innovation that could be game-changing.
I think after the collapse of any social system the hindsight would appear to show nothing but discontent. If the U.S. underwent the same social reordering that the former USSR did there would be a cultural tsunami of prescient signs that went tragically undiscussed due to the obviously blind and limiting social order.

First of all, Ozone costs a lot more. Second, every time you're using a tool with a lot of settings you find yourself reaching to tweak them — which is one of the reasons why in making music it's often better to use minimalistic tools that don't offer too many options. And finally, judging by the results I'm getting, LANDR is more "intellectual" that Ozone and tweaks it's settings depending on many properties of the source track.
If he's an American citizen, then he should just leave if things become really bad.
Or we could bet on whether either party ever again has five term Presidential run. ;) It would be interesting either way.
From the history of business it seems to me that many/most of the great innovations are making things a lot cheaper and convenient. Cars weren't transformational when only a few rich people could afford them. So depending on how successful SpaceX is at "lighting things into orbit cheaper", yes, I think they might actually be doing something interesting.

Foster / Adoptive Parent here:

> Today’s grandparents are doing exactly what their biology has prepared them for.

Prepares for them to take care of their children's child due to their inability to care and protect their own child? This paper/article doesn't talk about the biology/evolution influence of how so many people don't care for their own off spring. I have had children who's grandmother took a knife to her (Her mom was off in the world of drugs), while I had my future son (He had terminal cancer) the father beat the biological mother to death with a baseball bat, and I have had a biological uncle one block from my house and he never once came to even see his nephew (The father (his brother) was less then 200 miles away and never saw his son past year 4).

I get the argument but there is plenty of reasons of equal importance in asking why so many parents are giving way to grandparents in child rearing.

We have a Foster System due to the inability of Grandparents to take care of the children. If they could the system would be 10% of what it currently is today.
Freedom of movement is not just about moving to Poland, but also from Poland, as literally millions of workers have done to richer countries.
That's like saying stuff has gotten more expensive over time because of inflation. Yes it's literally true, but everyone knows to control for inflation. In the same way, because of the Flynn effect, average score on 1960-IQ tests is higher than 100. IQ does change over time.

Anyway just because it wasn't designed to have a linear meaning doesn't mean it's useless. It measures what percent of the population scored better and worse than you. That's still a useful fact to know, just like people talk about "the top 1%" instead of specifying exact income brackets.
The display controller on ARM SoCs is typically separate from the Mali or PowerVR GPU and is often documented. If there are multiple ARM cores on the SoC then the display may still feel fast enough for basic stuff even though the CPU is doing all the work. Another factor is that some modern GPUs are 3D only, the graphics stack gets a lot more complicated if it has to translate 2D requests from an application into OpenGL calls to the GPU.

NetBSD has a framebuffer driver for TI OMAP CPUs so it could be possible to port it to OpenBSD.
"This is nonsense. Air resistance is caused by drag and has nothing to do with weight. An arrow will fall faster to the ground than big balloon, despite weighing the same."

But if you had two arrows of different weights, air resistance would act to slow the lighter one more.

So no, it's not nonsense.
According to studies done by Piketty, there's not a single case in the world where a backward country have opened themselves to global trade and it allowed them to rise to the first-world country status, while there are examples where it was achieved via protectionalism - Japan, South Korea, Taiwan. Knowing that, I think leaving the EU might do us good in the long term. (As for me personally, I tend to work remotely for US companies anyway, so in either case I won't be affected.)

As for the cultural differences, my intuition is that this forum is not that diverse - not in fundamental ways. For example, how many people here condone religious dictatorships or sex with 9 year olds? And these are the kind of people who can settle in my multicultural neighbourhood, if I start letting them into the country.

People don't care about privacy, even quite a few people actually in tech don't care about it that much. There are even post-privacy people who are, at least to some degree, opposed to it.
