I find this article misleading.

> ... the upper middle class ... controlled 52.1 percent of total income in 2014, up from 29.6 percent in 1979. But had their income growth kept pace with their population expansion, they'd only control 48 percent.

So their income grew from a population-adjusted 48% to 52.1%? That's relatively minor, I wouldn't even call it thriving.

Also, don't the majority of actually rich people earn wealth via means other than income?

EDIT: The HN title is "America's upper middle class is growing", the link has the title "America's upper middle class is thriving". I'd agree that it's growing, but thriving is a hard sell given what's highlighted in the article
If you use DMARC with a reject or quarantine policy, SPF hardfail ("-all") can prevent recipients from successfully forwarding mail you've sent them.

Some best practices for DKIM, SPF, and DMARC (as of mid-2015) in [1], including this:

> ...when an organization publishes p=reject [in DMARC], they should simultaneously change their SPF hard fail to SPF soft fail. ... A message that passes SPF and is forwarded will fail SPF. If a message hard fails SPF it will probably be marked as spam but if it soft fails, it will most likely still be accepted by the recipient. This forwarding failure possibility is why most organizations publish a soft fail record.

Vulkan doesn't do anything new that PS APIs haven't been already doing since the PS3.

They already do the same that Microsoft does with their APIs for PS3, PS4 and to smaller extent PSP and Vita.
I'm a huge fan of Indian food. (Because it's tasty, AND because they are one of the few foreign countries that uses the same definition of "vegetarian" that I do).

That said, I actually have a fairly limited range there too: if you don't like yogurt, dill, bell peppers, cucumbers, or okra, a lot gets cut out. That's on me an my tastes, not the Indian food, but it's still a reality I have to deal with.
Honest question: how can you stand the JVM start up time and the terrible stack traces?

I find myself wishing there were a clojure not on the JVM (or on javascript)...pretty much I think I'd be happier with another lisp, but I'm not sure.

I find this program ironic since Apple locks down iDevices pretty hard - their App Store rules prohibit coding[1] on iPhones & iPads. If anyone were to attempt to make an interpreter/port Scratch or Python to iOS, the app would not be approved.

1. §3.3.2 An Application may not download or install executable code. Interpreted code may only be used in an Application if all scripts, code and interpreters are packaged in the Application and not downloaded.
This seems like a really elitist attitude. I like windows and buttons and menus. I also really like the command line, my development environment is a fullscreen terminal window.

Programming nowadays is easier than ever to get into. All you need is a computer, an internet connection, and the drive to learn.

I think whatsapp is rolling up encryption to avoid a new scandal later, that locally creates bad PR, not because it is a feature requested by users.

To have a good grasp of what matters to the public, remember that Apple once did a whole ad campaing over the fact that the new iPhone could copy/paste. We mocked it. And the joke is on us, cause it worked briantly. This is what people cares about, and more over, this is what people knows about.
Yes, absolutely. There is nothing philanthropic about what apple is doing, just like there is nothing philanthropic about Google's efforts to bring effective, low cost computers into schools.

Both companies are fully aware of what they stand to gain in the years to come by familiarizing young people with the corporation's own technology.
Yup, Amazon or any other drone-based delivery service will have to apply for a "waiver" as mentioned in the press release.

Would be nice if these articles (the TFA) linked their sources. I am sure I could Google and find it but too much effort. I am so tired of misleading, wrong, and clickbait news. I have almost stopped nearly all news consumption because of it. I still come to HN and it helps filter a lot of it, but you still see it sometimes like here.
I'm assuming you mean Quorn, which is a mycoprotein (the history of that company is fascinating!). Those are the nuggets I mentioned that are quite similar to "real".
I've seen similarities between your work (OOP) and that of Christopher Alexander (Patterns).

Do you have anything to say about how your/his works tie together?

(Note that Alexander's work is perhaps even more misrepresented in software than OOP has come to be).

For example, he talks a lot about how anything that is to evolve naturally, or even properly serve the human component, must be composed of living structure.

The good news is, I lived, and the doctors tell me I should be fine as long as I commit to a healthy lifestyle going forward. So I got back into bicycle riding big time again, both road biking and mountain biking, and a typical meal for me now is something like I had for lunch today: a big plate of salad which was nothing but lettuce, salt, pepper, olive oil and a small amount of honey-ginger dressing.

I eat a lot of lettuce lately.. it's nice because it has few calories and takes up space in your stomach so it curbs my urge to snack all the time, which was a problem in the past.

Of course that's not all I eat, before somebody posts worrying that I'm going too far in the other direction. I still eat a lot of the same stuff I always did, but in moderation, and a lot more veggies now than in the past. And I mostly quit eating candy, chips, and other real low-value junk food.
Well height variation still occasionally occurs within all populaces everywhere. "Giants" and "dwarves" as a distinct race was probably a drunken glimpse of different looking people from other villages, in a dark wood or the like.

A related thought is that if there ever was any other intelligent species on Earth, noticeably different than humans, we wiped them out long ago.
This is very true. I let my own usage patterns and github issues be a guide to what I do next. I don't use ex mode very much, outside from simple substitutions, and I haven't gotten any issues yet either.

I remember reading that the Atom Vim authors believed separating the two was a mistake; they were too intertwined. As much as I'd like to have it be a separate project and not think about it, apparently that doesn't work so well...
> There's potentially time and money (resources) that law enforcement spend investigating. Resources that the company spends investigating. If the breach is public, stock prices could be impacted. IP could be discovered - whether or not it is disseminated, sometimes you just can't know.

Which is necessary because of the vulnerability, not because of the breach. If bad people could have gotten into your network and that is something you care to spend resources investigating then you need to do it regardless of whether the person who notified you of the vulnerability trolled you with it or not. Whether they troll you is independent of whether they steal your secrets; you can have either without the other or both or neither.

> All of this because you wanted some lulz and to see if you could? How about stay out of the network you aren't meant to be in.

It isn't a question of right and wrong, it's a question of proportionality. If you troll somebody you deserve to be chastised and given detention or community service, not thrown in prison.

> Deterrence is also key.

I'm not sure deterrence is working in your favor here. If your network is insecure and you get trolled then you look stupid and fix it and give the kids detention. If your network is insecure and you deter the trolls then it takes another year before someone who is harder to deter breaks in and then you get arrested because the people who broke in were using your servers to distribute child pornography.

I'll take the Rickroll please.
Sure, but most people have actual visuals when they imagine, most with color. That's where I want to get.

Same here, but Monster was my poison of choice. I lost 50 lbs with keto and haven't looked back. Everything just got better.

I think bulletproof coffee is a bit overrated though. I tried it and couldn't get into it, and that's with very good quality coffee. A bit of heavy cream is nice sometimes though.

Goodbye, Password. Banks Opt to Scan Fingers and Faces Instead
Your “flat since 2000” (speaking of top 5% incomes) looks to me like a massive bubble from 1992–2000, then a dip after the dot com bust / aftermath of the asian financial crisis / repeated interest rate hikes (/ maybe september 11?), followed by recovery from 2003–2006, another sharp decline from 2006–2010 caused by the worst recession in 70 years, and then growth again from 2010–present.

The top 5% now has just about as high an income as they’ve ever had (incomes almost doubled since 1980!), despite some rocky times for the country. By contrast, the bottom 3 quintiles are all right where they were in 1988, and ~{0%, 5%, 15%} above 1980 levels, respectively.

Using the peak of the 2000 bubble as your baseline causes some dramatic distortion. If you used a 5 year moving average to smooth out some of the natural cycles, you’d get a better idea.

And note: this chart is showing income, not wealth, which is where disparities have really started to pile up.

Not really bullshit if you find the right hosting company. There's shitty $200/mo single server colo options, and less shitty ones. In my experience it comes down to personally knowing the people who run the ISP and how serious they are about network abuse issues (and general network engineering best practices). If you find a colo/cabinet space hosting company in a major city that's one of the founding members of a major IX there's somewhat more chance that they'll have network engineering staff who take such issues seriously.

On the customer side, one of the major bars to entry for clueless/spamming customers is whether it's possible to directly purchase hosting services online with a credit card and have them immediately provisioned and available. If you can get a VPS in 5 minutes by paypal it's easy to be clueless. If you need to set up and ship a server with its rails to a colo it's likely but not guaranteed that you have more clue than usual.

Yes, it's likely you might get an IP in a /26 that's part of a hosting company's much larger /22 or /20 which also contains shitty VPS. The key part there is to find a hosting company/ISP that doesn't do low budget hosting and never has.

I don't follow. I shouldn't have mentioned Nexus as I'm a lot more familiar with Archiva. But,

- if the release of the same version was changed upstream, and you want this change to be picked up, that's not a repeatable build anyway.

- if the release was changed upstream and you don't want to pick it up, configure Archiva to fail on checksum mismatch [1].

- or as an alternative to enforcing the checksum, configure your local repo as internal instead of proxied, and handle it all yourself [2].

Its ironic that the Superman comic, where in the end Superman says "this seems monotonous" also is the perfect critique of the article. The qualitative, non-quantifiable parts of what we do for a living are equally important. Who would want to be Superman if he turned a crank, at a constant speed, every day of his life?
The problem with API is that is not an easy to create a good one. It's so easy to do it wrong, and once you do, it's very hard to change it later. API should be created pretty much by a committee where everyone from the company can have an input how it will affect them.

It's not a panacea, it looks like you're just pushing the complexity into another place.
I really like the multi-pane functionality and integration of shortcuts. A lot of interfaces use overly complex shortcuts for tasks that should be immediately accessible--being able to press 'r' and 'c' for a new row or column is great.
Looks like you have a good selection of languages being parsed as well. I can definitely see myself using this as a tool in future projects or when diving into a new codebase. Can't wait to see integration with online repositories.
I think the article is looking for winners and losers in the wrong place. There will inevitably be winning and losing companies. People that put more energy into making sure that they, personally, win over other people in the organization are not focused on making sure the company wins. Asking "How do I win?" is a very different question from asking "How do we make the company win?".

veganism != primitivism

I understand that there's an overlap between "I don't eat that, I'm vegan" and "I don't eat that, it's not natural", but when I think of vegan principles I think of animal rights -- not fallacious appeals to nature.

> Carbohydrates in excessive amounts, yes.

That's the definition of 'excessive', yes.
I'm in the same camp as you. Vegetarian since 1989, vegan since 1999. I can certainly say that the quality of fake meats has drastically improved in the past 10 years (see https://gardein.com/, http://fieldroast.com/, and http://beyondmeat.com/ as examples), but the stigma surrounding them persists.

Short anecdote: There's a donut shop in my town that sold vegan and regular donuts in adjacent but separate displays. In some instances, the donuts on the regular side were also vegan, identical in every way save for the label. They found that they sold far better without the word "vegan" attached to them, and eventually stopped labelling them altogether, providing a side-menu to help vegans identify which are which.

Point being, perception is surprisingly important when it comes to taste.

> And in america, at least, where meat-eating is tied to masculinity and bacon is worshipped, that's a tough stigma to shake.

I'd argue that it really doesn't matter how similar to meat these products get, if they're still seen as "fake". Even if delicious, people tend to gravitate towards "real". But hey, maybe they've found a market that wants this that I'm just not seeing.

They also do not explain or reference what it would take to get such a certificate of waiver. It's very likely that someone like myself cannot ever get one, but perhaps Amazon could? What if I'm a small startup, can I get the same treatment that Amazon could?
I don't see the issue as being fundamentally about whether or not it is proprietary per se, but Apple's choice of technology makes it clear that Apple's actions are self interested, and not philanthropic.

Philanthropic means "seeking to promote the welfare of others, especially by donating money to good causes; generous and benevolent".

It does not mean "selfish action which happens to also benefit others"

There are several ways apple could have been less obviously self interested, not purely by choosing FLOSS.

These rules remind me of the red flag laws[1] in the early days of cars. They're needlessly restrictive, and they block billions of dollars in economic productivity.

More importantly, these rules are going to cause more harm than they prevent. Let me explain.

Today, we use ground vehicles to transport stuff. When people click "buy now" on Amazon, it results in multi-ton metal boxes speeding through neighborhoods. When vehicles and pedestrians exist in close proximity, people get hurt. Every day in the US, over 400 people require medical attention from being hit by cars. Around a dozen die.[2] Even if drones are every bit as dangerous as fearmongers say, they're not that bad. The more that drones substitute for ground vehicles, the safer we'll be.

Unfortunately, the FAA is optimizing for "minimum number of people harmed by drones" and not "minimum number of people harmed".
