If the work is normally unpaid (like contributing to open-source projects), then it's fine.

Quoting from http://www.cilawgroup.com/news/2013/10/15/unpaid-volunteer-w... :

"As a general rule of thumb, one should look at whether Americans would perform the same job without pay and under similar circumstances and if the answer is “yes,” then a foreign national in an employment-restricted status can volunteer and work without pay."
This is the first version of the Soylent powder that has any appreciable amount of soy in it. Prior versions used soy lecithin as an emulsifier, but had no other soy.
You're right that's probably most gun owners too, I don't think hunting or target shooting is the driving reason.

I think that civil rights should be more general than that -- like you should have a right to a level of personal safety, and then we design laws to protect that right. I just think that gun ownership endangers rather than protects that right.
>both parts of the judicial system (the agents looking for crimes, and the courts, and now also the prison/parole system) are all in bed with each other, when they should be balancing each other out.

Ha, this actually means that we should have a self-similar separation of powers. I'm not sure that's what the framer's had in mind - I suspect they wanted the top-level powers to act coherently to balance each other out.

Partly, though, I think it's about a misunderstanding about the nature of the "justice system". The police are, essentially, an extension of the Executive. This is true because police are not just "reactive", they execute. In the same way, any part of the government that "does stuff" is part of the executive. The DMV is Executive. Only the court itself, and the judges and support staff in the court, are Judicial. The blurred line is the "district attorney", who is responsible both for prosecuting on behalf of the state, and defending the state from action.

Remarkably, the Executive has acquired a truly enormous amount of special treatment under the law. First, because the law itself exempts Executive workers from a wide variety of the law, and second because of the way the system works, the way Justice moves cases toward conclusion, which is filled with conflicts of interest that erode the separation between Justice and Executive, specifically within local law enforcement.

Frankly, I really love the idea of self-similar separation of powers, even at the local level, where there is an adversarial tone between the Justice, Executive, and Legislative branches! Justice should be incentivised to dig up dirt on the Executive; the Executive should pride itself on knowing (and following) the law exactly (not "getting the bad guys"). The Legislative, in the end, should work to maintain rules that are simple, easy to understand, and which above all, maintain the adversarial relationship between powers at every level, federal, state, and local.

This is also a good, strong foundation to discuss secrecy in government action - which is Executive action. What has happened with the introduction of the secret courts is the spreading of the secrecy between powers. This should be rejected for weakening the separation of powers, but also undermining the root of strength for each branch: validation by the people's opinion. The people cannot have an informed opinion if they do not know what their government is doing. (As a practical matter, this is non-trivial. The "Government's Understanding" of the world drives operations, which are often handed off to a team specializing in "doing stuff". So you have a large sea of (presumably fairly competent) analysts and operations staff working thousands, if not millions, of projects in every field in which the government interacts, which is essentially every field. It helps to start dividing the behavior into categories, which may or may not match up well with the USG org chart.)

Sigh. Maybe complexity itself limits the size of a legitimate democracy, because how can we be good citizens without understanding fully the doings of our government, and how can we know that even without secrecy in place?
So if you're not defending Trump or your support of Trump then what is your point? You just want to support a sexist, racist and bigot without having to be held accountable for it?

And the shitty, completely out-of-the-blue joke about triggering at the end. Nice that you want to allude to blanket dismissal of social causes just because I brought up LGBT issues. The only way you could be a bigger cliche is if you called me an "SJW" and spit on the ground afterward. Grow up. I'm done with this pointless conversation. Happy Pride, asshole.
Nothing has changed. The premise of that blog post is that we'd like to do better than ephemeral intersection requests using truncated hashes of contact identifiers, but that we don't believe it's currently possible to do better.
> I doubt your parser is even close to doing what he is talking about.

You act like if someone hasn't architecture-astronauted all their software to meet any hypothetical future requirement, you've won. The truth is, making a parser that can restart incrementally and reuse above-and-below data structures is just another requirement. It shapes the software design and would probably result in a more iterator-oriented approach -- see, we can already imagine how it might be built. It's like you're saying, "Writing a piddly game in BASIC isn't all that, let me show you how hard it is to write this Tetris program." Maybe a better analogy is those people that thought OOP was some deep advanced stuff.

And note again parsing is the easiest part of that software, a neat and well-contained problem.

See also https://hn.algolia.com/?query=by:WalterBright%20parser&sort=... for the opinion of somebody else that knows things about the relative difficulty of parsing.

Fair point. Would be a very difficult case to make; not only is the upgrade path from v1 to v2 difficult already, but you would also have to change your datastore!....that would be a tough sell. It's a shame really, because the flexibility you would gain from utilizing a document store for product schema, while retaining transactional support for all your vital commerce related data (payments, inventory etc), is exactly what you need. I guess these are the trade-offs we are often faced with as engineers.

> Social media is becoming so much of a "safe space" that having a place to freely express ideas has become a liberal echo chamber

I don't think this is true at all.
Racists, fascists, sexists, and general bigots make avid use social media to attack people. Recently Mic did a piece on the (((trend))) to use brackets around names on Twitter, and how it's actually something Neo Nazi's use to target people ( see: https://mic.com/articles/144228/echoes-exposed-the-secret-sy... )

What you're seeing is people who were formerly oppressed and unable to voice their opinion properly are now able to, and in exactly the same way as the people who have been attacking them.
I would just like them to leave it out to be honest. Then I could mix in my own questionable amounts of whatever sweetener I choose.
you can ignore or flag the obvious trolls.
This is why the Signal team spends time working with other messengers. We want to help enable Signal Protocol in the products that everyone is already using (like WhatsApp), rather than expecting everyone to switch to our app.

I quit buying the powder earlier this year, but never considered the drink. I don't want to be tossing a bunch of empty bottles or paying to ship a liquid; it's honestly a little weird that they are prioritizing all this sustainable food stuff but want to truck a prepared liquid to me. The liquid does (or did, not sure now) cost more per kcal and comes in 400kcal bottles, so I would want 4-5 a day; they ship in 12 packs so I would be buying and shipping a lot.

I'm not sure I buy the soy-feminizes-men stuff but it was also at the back of my mind. I don't particularly enjoy other soy things so I was disappointed when they went that route.
Yeah, a lot of it comes down to network effects. Studios have to ramp up staff quickly, so they need to be able to find freelancers that already know the software they are using. So the studios have to use the "industry standard" software, unless they want to train artists, which wouldn't make sense since they are constantly ramping up and down their freelancer workforce. The Foundry (makers of Nuke) are surely making a tidy sum off of this situation.
Sapolsky is a brilliant teacher. Lots of his lectures on youtube, all worth watching.

They are actually very well designed, especially those of higher end botnets.
I don't buy into his argument.

This UX pattern does have benefits for the user. It has a low cognitive load with very little friction to show more items. All the UX challenges he calls out are solvable.

In addition, this has been solved on the desktop. File browsers and Media players with large collections already do this well. The challenge is building a great scrolling experience on the web.

I've seen many folks try to solve this with a repeater control and they quickly find out that there's a long way to go to get something with great performance. What's really needed to solve the problem is UI & data virtualization, which is something that native app developers have a lot more experience with.
I was putting two heaping tbsp of cocoa powder per bag + a pinch of extra sucralose - the 1.4/1.5 soylent only had enough sucralose to offset the bitterness of some other ingredients, so adding 2+ tbsp of cocoa without something to balance made it taste bad.
I was going to suggest the same name.
Soylent 2.0 has had more than the daily maximum safe amount of soy in a single meal from the beginning. And according to the Soylent FAQ, Soylent powder already contained 53mg of soy/isoflavones per serving [1].

So let's put this in a family perspective. A family of five, the breadwinners are just getting by, but they decide to add a foster child. Maybe the foster child doesn't get first dibs on things, but the other children might not appreciate the new situation where things could be spread more thinly in an already tenuous situation.

It could be competition for jobs, ability to find affordable housing, decent schools, preservation of culture (let's remember the anti gentrification movement whose main complaints are loss of culture as well as displacement/loss of neighborhood character).
I've seen tons and tons of people pointing out that soy contains phytoestrogens but I've never seen a single study that showed that it had any significant effect on an adult male. I have seen studies that have shown no statistical difference between a diet high in phytoestrogens and a normal diet. Here's the abstract of an examination of 9 different clinical studies on the topic: http://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(10)00368-7/abstr... . Also, I'd like to point out that your first reference even states that a diet heavy in soy is unlikely to have any harmful effects. It also only provided two anecdotes of men with a hormonal problem and in both of those cases the cause was never determined.

I'd need to see some pretty strong proof before I am convinced that the amount of soy in Soylent is anything to be concerned about.
One big problem with the utilitarian approach is that it could enable human bad actors to cause a vehicle to choose to kill its passengers. For example, if an autonomous vehicle is crossing a bridge and two people dart out in front of it, the vehicle might decide that instead of having two pedestrians die in a collision, it's better to have just one person (the passenger) perish—by having the vehicle drive off the side of the bridge.

While there might be some people who are OK with a utilitarian approach to deciding who lives and who dies, this concept is much less appealing when relative negligence (or malfeasance, as above) come into play. If a drunk adult jumps into the street, should autonomous vehicles swerve, cause tens of thousands of dollars in property damage (to be compensated by whose insurance?) in order to avoid the negligent drunk? This is a closer question than the first scenario, but it reveals that pure utilitarianism—with no sense of fault or intentionality—is insufficient.
This blog post, and my reply, was about the powder. 1.6 introduces soy as a major component for the first time, which is what I was trying to say earlier.

Edit: to clarify, 2.0 is a prepared soy-protein-based drink which, until now, had a very different formulation from the 1.x powder product.
>Casual sex doesn't require that one be promiscuous, it's certainly possible to have repeated casual sex with a close friend with whom you have no romantic attraction.

There is probably no direct connection between RTI and encryption. Here are some other stories I found involving this gentleman:

All three don't have anything to do with government corruption. What I get from this is:

1. He is involved in things other than government corruption.

2. RTI is a tool that he uses, so RTI activist is probably a misnomer

3. This is possibly just an well intentioned old man who doesn't understand technology doing the wrong thing for the right reason.

But the supreme court is hearing him? Well then I hope that this gets squashed at the highest level before it turns into a discussion.
A year or so ago I was in Wadi Rum, the desert in the south of Jordan, near the Saudi border.

I spent a few days with a young bedouin, who in the absence of his parents, maintained the extended family, had mounted a successful business, spoke several languages fluently, hunted, played the jordanian mandolin, was humble yet strong. He was one of the most stable, centered, culutured, balanced and smart people I've ever met.

All of this at the ripe age of 19.

It made me consider his peers of my EU hometown Paris, and the only thing that came to mind was: Where has it gone so wrong. Western culture is raising generations of weak-minded, watery examples of sloth.

Travel really opens your eyes to the fact that determination, culture and independance are muscles that can be trained, apparently like their physical analogues: through reps.

Exactly. I have Signal installed, but none of my contacts have it installed on their phones.

And Signal's "helpful" banner at the top that allows easy invitation of contacts will (rightly) be treated as spam by most of my contacts - these secure/encrypted chat apps keep coming and going, with some people saying "just use Whatsapp, it is now encrypted", others complaining that it is closed source, etc. I can't keep changing my recommendations every few months and expect my contacts to do the same. In fact, it is only through hn that I even heard of yet another protocol: https://matrix.org/.

Practically speaking, WhatsApp works best wrt security for me due to these network issues - essentially all of my Indian contacts have it for some reason, likely again some positive feedback loop due to network effects in India. And there is no such dominant app among my US contacts, hence I fall back to plain old SMS.
lol this is hilarious, alaa wardi is a genius.
Fox News were anti-Trump for a long time, just like its liberal counterpart. I don't know if it is still now.
There is other non-Apple software that has been happily using "mac" in its name for a long time, no?

Everybody knows MacPorts, and there's Mactracker and MacCleanse on the App Store itself, and the infamous Mackeeper (which may very well be malware; Apple should go after them first) and companies: MacPhun and MacPaw.

But I guess people may confuse "Mac CLI" as being an official part of macOS.
I understand the idea but I worry that perspective doesnt account for the reality that we live in today.

With studies and experiments you have to ask yourself : who is doing the work? who is funding the work?

The people who are doing the work may have biases ranging from "how do I get published?" To "how do I get paid". Additionally, a sample size for a test costs money. How many samples does it take to consider it worthy of repeating? How many times should a single experiment be repeated?

Usually people funding think, "how does this help me?" Which can range from "I have cancer" to "I'll make a profit". The gov on the otherhand may be more lenient but how much of your taxes do you want to use on experiments that may be useless?

The concept of "dark ages" doesnt consider what our climate really is. There are limited resources and few people with those resources believe they should be stolen to fund projects they dont care about. There is plenty Id like to be studied such as

- is education memorization or pattern recognition?

- at what degree does exercize enable / prevent education

- what is the zone and how do minds get put into the zone?

But Im fairly confident these will never be studied because nobody wants to do the work and funders See cern and mars as more interesting ventures

In the situation I'm familiar with it was a girl in school that wanted to have a sexual relationship, didn't want to devote the time or emotional effort into a serious relationship and didn't want to have a series of short-term partners. So she hooked up with a friend regularly (and he was free to see other people (and did)).
One network versus the rest? That they are the highest rated probably should be analyzed versus the whole market. Apple having the best selling computer model didn't mean that OS X was the best selling OS (far from it).
The term "general welfare" as used in the constitution didn't mean social-safety-net benefits to the poor.

These arguments that primitive cultures produce stronger more capable individuals ignores the inherent massive trade offs.

Modern healthcare, farming, family planning, improved access to education, and the liberation of women cause an extended adolescence.

In exchange, you get to live like a king, enjoy unprecedented personal security, have a constant supply of goods from the world over, and very decreased likliehood of dying.

Of course primitive cultures produce more rugged individuals. It's not that their methods of living are superior.

It's that everyone else is already dead.

Youtube is my main jam these days.

Today, I did the following today on youtube

1. Followed along Yoga lesson (I've done yoga for many yrs but its fun to follow along a guided path)

2. Watched graph theory (for an interview )

3. Watched air crash investigation while eating lunch.

5. Listened to podcast/music on youtube red when was out running errands around the town.

6. Yet to decide what to watch before bed :)

That said, I am not impressed with this course collection. I went to the history section and clicked on Egyptian history it was 10 min video of some guy reducing a great civilization to a cartoonish caricature. That's no way to inspire kids, we need to stop replicating classrooms. Classrooms suck.
I would instead have my kids watch 'Great Egyptians' series on youtube

So instead of not remembering "tar xfz", you can not remember "mac tar:extract"? Either way, I guess you'll just end up asking google and google will tell you to use tar.
And then those people would repatriate funds, raising the quality of life in poorer countries and reducing the need to emigrate.

How do you think sheetrock is supposed to be cut?

You score it with a knife and snap it for long straight cuts.

You use a hand saw for complicated or non-straight cuts. Or you might use a small rotary power tool but it really doesn't make any difference.
Make that 2/3 please. I assume that with your 1/3 you are referring to the European Parliament, and the other two you are considering are the European Commission and the Council of the EU, right? But the latter is chosen directly, because it is composed of the ministers of the respective member states. So of the three, only the Commission is appointed instead of elected.
In some states (but not necessarily all counties in the state) you can search voter rolls online. With a last name you get someone's address, which elections they've voted in, and what party they registered as in the primary. It's been a while since I've checked, but a phone number may also be available.
Speaking as a front-end-heavy developer (but someone who knows quite a lot about the back end too), the ideal of WebAssembly definitely excites, but the bridge to actually engaging with the technology is too cumbersome to actually do anything with it yet.

My take is two-fold. First, the tooling needs to mature. Second, a community of more hard-core developers (i.e., those who work regularly with C, C#, C++, etc.) needs to crop up.

Without those two things, I think you're right, it will never take off. But my bet is that both of those things happen; larger companies will at some point bank on it, and throw a bunch of tooling and development resources at it. Just a guess.
