Can someone explain why T-Mobile is legally allowed to provide free streaming for YouTube and Netflix? Didn't net neutrality prevent that? Or am I just out of the loop?

The thing is... I like them preferentially treating YouTube and Netflix traffic by not counting it towards my bandwidth limit. The "fair" alternative sucks: I would simply not stream on my phone anymore because it would be too expensive.

Absolutely if there's a bug, there's a bug. By "overstate bugginess" I meant that some people speak as though the software is so buggy that it is difficult to use the computer (example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11895916).

>gutted and underfunded social services

The US spends so much, that social security and medicare combined have nearly 33 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities. To give you a sense of scale, that's half of the world's gdp. In terms of taxes, there are 4 payees for every beneficiary and it's estimated that by 2030 that number will be 2 to 1.

When you sift through all the propaganda, America is financially imploding because it gives so much. So feel what you wish, but to state that the services are underfunded doesn't match reality.

I'm not suggesting that you eat only McDonald's every day. Nobody is. But relative to some of the stuff that kids find palatable? It's not really much better or worse. It's saltier than I would cook at home, but a healthy kid can pass plenty of salt without a problem:

Chicken Nuggets -- pretty standard breaded chicken [1]. I don't love autolysed yeast, but it doesn't make it not "food."

Milk -- same as you can get anywhere else.

French fries -- potatoes, vegetable oil, and salt. Definitely "food."

Chicken sandwich -- again, saltier than I'd cook at home, but the major ingredient is the same chicken meat as anywhere else.

I recently went to a McDonald's in Austria. I was blown away by how they were going exactly for the community center vibe.

There was a bar with four or five internet connected tablets a half-basketball court next to the jungle gym and patio seating like you'd find at an upscale resteraunt. It also had a dedicated coffee and desert bar. Also, the cash registers were gone and in their place were four huge touchscreens for ordering. The place was like a restaurant from 50 years in the future.

I was shocked at how nice it was and that we don't have any in the US.

Welcome to germany, land of the green and people who consider their morality to be superior. We spend $25bn/year to produce 1% of our energy usage by renewables. We shut down our mostly modern atom reactors to burn more coal. We now spend ~30 dollar cent per kilowatt hour to have much dirtier energy than most of the rest of europe. We pay money to our neighbours so they take away our surplus of energy at peaks and push the energy distribution to the limits which results in instabilities. Newbuild house prices have increased by 40% in the last ten years just because of the extremely high energy standards home builders have to adhere too (insulation, stupid energy exchangers et. al)

And all the while we are the only sane people in our own eyes.

After an attempt to run an unsigned app, it will appear explicitly listed on that dialog and you can click a button to explicitly allow it. So instead of allowing all apps from "anywhere", you allow them on one by one basis.

By community space, I assume you mean public buildings like libraries, town halls, community centres, youth clubs, etc.

In what way are they better than private spaces? The main difference is that people can use public spaces for free, but only because the cost is borne by those who don't use them.

Meanwhile, using such facilities carries a social stigma, because they are, by and large, only used by people who cannot afford to congregate in private spaces (bars, restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, clubs, classes, etc.)

This article demonstrates how it's possible for companies to provide de facto public spaces, at minimal cost (the cost of a coffee, or similar), in a mutually beneficial arrangement.
3 months of severance, 6 months of COBRA, and "transition assistance" is not remotely "generous" as far as severance goes. Even when I was just coming out of a bachelor's program and had no work experience, I was able to negotiate 6 months of salary (grossed up) and a full year of continued full benefits as severance, just by asking. I have friends who have gotten significantly more severance than this even, again, just by asking. And if a firm reacts badly if you ask about severance benefits, they're just giving you free info about their dysfunction, allowing you to confidently walk away knowing you're dodging a huge bullet.

Many people complain about the language in these trite, lawyer-approved kinds of emails, and yes, it is sad that it evolves in such an anti-human direction.

But for me, the real take away is that top to bottom, investors and executives at Zenefits should be absolutely and unequivocally ashamed of themselves for offering such poor severance benefits and having the audacity to turn around and act like it's an act of generosity. The voluntary package with 2 months of severance and 4 months of COBRA defies moral comprehension.

I remember the line from the movie The Big Short where Mark Baum says "Short everything that guy has ever touched" or something to that effect, out of disgust.

I think the same feeling is warranted with Zenefits' investors and executives. What a stain.

2) It seems like he said "10x...and then 10x" instead of "100x" as either A) an allusion to a multi-staged process, or B) a rhetorical device to emphasize the magnitude of the changes needed. Either way, it isn't exactly the same as just saying "100x".

3) Your comment has no substance and is just an attack. That's against HN rules.
I never had 30 elections on one day in Germany (I think 5 was the absolute maximum) as we elect fewer positions in general and don't combine most elections on one day. Usually the federal election is the only vote on that day with some states specifically moving their state election day by one week to avoid a clash. The only usual combination is regional/European elections or state/regional elections for the small states. Referendums (there only a few) are usually tacked onto another election if there is one in a reasonable timeframe.

The elections each use a seperate ballot (and often seperate ballot box) and are counted one after the other with the most important election being counted first while the rest is still locked away in sight.

But yeah, for 30 ballots that system might break down.

I don't know if you meant to or not, but you basically described the classic criticism against using regulation to combat natural monopolies/monopolies in general.

In a perfect world, competition and crowd dynamics maintain openness because no single actor can influence the overall market. Unfortunately, in practice we don't see perfect competition which leaves many angles for sufficiently large market participants to influence the overall market.

There are examples from relatively recent history where regulation had varying degrees of success curbing monopolistic exploits. So I wouldn't call this a brave new world so much a slight return to the "Trust Busting" regulatory days which more or less went defunct in the last 30 odd years.

While I hear your point and I think your reasoning is sound, this particular event happens to be a step in the right direction and I am not keen to throw the baby out with the bath water in this specific instance.

Complaints about Haskell's prelude usually fall strictly under the definition of "first-world problems".

"Ugh, this length function isn't parameterized over the integrals?"

Or, alternatively:

"Ugh, this length function is parameterized over the foldables?"

People will never agree what's best, but it doesn't really matter. One nice thing about Haskell is that all the "default" functions, types, and data structures are just imported from the Prelude library. You can just import your own version if you want, and people do that.
I really hate how irrational green groups are on nuclear power generation. And how much the media stokes irrational fears about nuke plants.

There were no deaths directly attributable to radiation exposure (although 300 Tepco workers were exposed to above lifetime legal limit radiation). WHO estimated life time risk of thyroid cancer for infants in the immediate area increased by 0.5 per cent, relying on the linear no threshold hypothesis (an untested hypothesis that the UN has recently backed away from).

More generally, the IPCC calculated nuclear fission to be the second safest form of power generation in human morbidity and mortality terms end to end, mining to waste disposal (the first being hydro electric). The stupidity of the German decision makes me want to scream.

> When you get audited by potential customer, it usually involves not having code access and trying to penetrate the app without that access.

Is this in reference to on-prem / enterprise software and is this typical? I haven't heard of customers doing this but it certainly makes sense (might as well invest thousands to test before spending magnitudes more on the product itself only to find it having a huge security hole). Then again I'm not sure I've worked with potential customers who have access to do something like that.

Edit: reply was meant for GP

Ketamine primarily acts on glutamate, one of the reasons it's such an "effective" anesthetic, as the specific glutamate receptor (NMDA) it acts on is involved both in memory formation and the rather complex neurological process that leads to experiencing chronic pain. Its effect on dopamine reuptake (along with norepinephrine and serotonin), GABA potentiation, and opioid receptors means, roughly, it affects much more of the brain's chemistry than the "unwashed masses" using it are aware of.

They think it's relatively safe because it wears off faster than PCP (it does) or other depressants (it does) but in reality it dramatically affects multiple systems in their bodies, with some effects building up over time to ultimately cause physical damage (like bladder wall thickening, or damage to cardiac tissues). And in the meantime, they come to relish the escape of the K-hole. At least, until they have a bad trip, because the hallucinations they have are still controlled by their own brains, and if they're having a bad time in life, their hallucinations aren't going to be helpful. What's worse, because they think it's like any other depressant, they freely combine it with Adderall. Ketamine is a cardiovascular stimulant, and mixing with Adderall has a very real risk of proving fatal.

Psychological addiction causes users to disregard all these risks, even the ones the users know about, and pursue taking the drug regardless, and is no less dangerous than physical addiction. In fact, because of its effects on dopaminergic modulation and opioid receptors, there is an easy argument to be made for the addictive potential of ketamine. Further, it's important to understand: rats will self-dose with it, humans rate the high they get from low doses of it as being likable and causing them to want more, daily users often go through withdrawal symptoms and experience cravings after they stop using, and users rapidly develop a tolerance for it - all of these are metrics used to determine how addictive something is. Which is to say, in the case of Ketamine, quite.

So, no, it's not a stretch at all.

That doesn't limit its usefulness in clinical settings, but do not fool yourself or anyone else that it's not addictive.
Nix has a generator that generates a Nix file based on an npm package including SHAs and locked down versions. Unfortunately because typical JS packages use a bajillion dependencies each recursively these Nix files can be tens of thousands of lines, but they work.

Nix also has similar generators for rubygems, python, haskell and some other languages.

Nix's cargo integration is even cooler since cargo is already quite deterministic, you just put in a SHA of the final folder cargo creates with all the dependencies.
>Leaving it up to lawsuits to enforce public safety doesn't square very well with the limited-liability corporation. Imagine ten companies engaging in dangerous shipping practices, and one of them actually having an incident. If we only fine the one that had the incident, we bankrupt it and don't recover the full public-health cost.

It's not just lawsuits which would enforce these type of public safety issues sans-FAA (or other federal organization). The private companies which are doing the shipping, in this case UPS, would have their own terms of services and contracts which would prohibit unsafe transportation of hazardous chemicals.

Put market rates down in that field, and then when they reach a hiring decision, say "By the way, because of tax rates in my country, I'd like it if you could make my salary no more than $55K and donate the rest to these charities." I don't know any business that wouldn't be glad to find out, on hiring decision, that their new employee will cost them half as much as they bargained for and they can take a tax write-off on the rest.
