I went to court in New Jersey in a wealthiest white suburb and what I saw seemed perfectly fine. There was a man there who, a rather sad case really, was in an accident that gave him brain damage and caused him to behave strangely. His wife had a restraining order against him and apparently he had broken into the house in the middle of the night to give his son a birthday present, then gone to sleep on the couch. It took around half an hour for the judge to patiently explain to him what was going on ascertain bail and all that jazz. He was very patient. I think the key thing about the article was that this is a courthouse in the Bronx. The way we treat the poor in this country is absolutely atrocious. We give them substandard educational facilities, poor infrastructure, treat them like garbage in the justice system, then perpetuate the myth that successful people in America deserve to be successful and that if you're poor it's because there's something wrong with you and must not have tried hard enough or been smart enough.
>RE: "Facebook/other apps will just store your data after you login anyway, so what's the point?"

Right now, just having user is data is only 'OK'; up-to-date user data is the real goal. People, particularly every marketer's favorite demographic, teenagers, change their tastes and interests drastically and frequently. Just knowing Jenny liked Justin Bieber when she was 12 is almost useless when trying to market to Jenny at age 15.

Into the future 'old' data will further reduce in value as app developers make up-to-date and other hyper-targeted data more available.
Just because it is a public prison doesn't mean there aren't people making money to lock people up. There is prison labor, there is money handling (it costs money to send money to prisoners), there is the commissary, there are phone calls that cost $5 for 15 minutes. At every step of the way, the system beats down and exploits the most vulnerable in society. And they do profit. There are people doing time for petty theft simply because they can't pay the fees to get out of jail. [1]

The article is incredibly short and addresses what the title promises unbelievably succinctly.

While you called it clickbait, you quoted literally 35.7% of it (577 of its 1613 characters) to show your point, and what you left out was interesting history.

I think it's really rude of you to do this and use the word click bait.
When someone become apathetic who doesn't smoke marijuana, do you notice those data points?

This a fallacy I see all the time... when someone makes an unusual choice and something bad happens, people blame the decision. If someone makes the typical choice, people blame the circumstances.

If someone has an open relationship and it breaks up, people blame the openness. When a monogamous relationship breaks up, no one ever blames monogamy.

If someone breaks their leg while rock climbing, people think climbing is dangerous. If someone breaks their leg while painting, it was just an accident.

When someone cooks some terrible vegan food, lots of people think "vegan food tastes bad". But if someone wrecks a piece of meat, no one ever thinks "meat tastes bad".
I have a couple of cookbooks that are now very well worn. I think the best of them is probably Appetite by Nigel Slater. It's a little unique in that he treats his recipes more as suggestions rather than rules. He encourages lots of experimentation --- after all, everyone's taste is different, so you should make something you like instead of something the author likes. Each recipe comes with a handful of variations so you can see how you can start to build new dishes out of ones you already know. There's a great section at the beginning that goes through lots of herbs and spices and suggests combinations of ingredients that generally work well together. But maybe the best thing about the book is just the writing. It's hard not to read it and not start to appreciate food.

If you're strictly interested in techniques, I like Keys to Good Cooking by Harold McGee. If you're brave, you can read through his magnum opus, On Food and Cooking, which goes through all the science. Keys to Good Cooking is sort of the cliffs notes version and just tells you what you need to know. But there are no recipes in either.

Then there's Joy of Cooking. It's an old standby and it's hard to go wrong with it. There's tons of information in there.

Lastly, look into anything by America's Test Kitchen. It's sort of the polar opposite of Nigel Slater's approach. They test every recipe, sometimes ~100 variations, to try to find the precise recipe that they think works best. If you want a recipe that you know will just work, it's probably the best place to start.
"Just this once" would be the stupidest idea in the world, preserving neither principle.

I don't even know who VB is. I only care about this from a technological perspective. But presumably such a drastic action would not be happening often, if you have to get most of the network to vote.

Was there something that gives a ruling council the ability to override miners? If not I think you're being unreasonable in the way you're criticizing.
Yeah I'll have to disagree here. I beat my head against this horribly documented MTA just trying to get virtual users to work with a relay host. I gave up after three days of slitting my wrists trying to get it to work. It's horribly documented, getting help out of the obsd folks is like getting blood from a turnip, but if it works for you great! But I would never agree it's easier to configure or has better documentation than postfix.

One problem for athletes is that they take an energy drink or bar and then feel dopey. This is because as soon as a surge of glucose hits your blood your pancreas pumps out insulin and sweeps it all up leading to a crash. Instead drink milk or eat complex un processed carbs like oat cakes (but not ones that have a ton of honey).
Is there a comprehensive guide to running a homebrew end-to-end encrypted mail server? Something roughly analogous to tutanota or protonmail?
It would probably descend into corruption. Rhode Island's governance is horrible, and I doubt publics works projects will solve that.
The problem is that your ISP has named your home connection with a DNS name that probably doesn't match with the domain name that you're trying to recieve and send mail for. There's a workaround by adding a vsp text record to your DNS. But that's no guarantee that all mayor mail providers will accept mail from your mailserver as unmarked (rather they'll end up as spam in your spam folder)
I wonder how many people are arbitraging proofs of P = NP. If it were a solved problem, which I suspect it is, surely folks wouldn't talk about their solutions when they could rather print money :)
"Average starting salary: $74,447."

So they are paying them less than they would a recent college grad by something like 25%? no wonder they love hiring people out of these things.
The Tcl language was designed for string manipulation aka today's NLP:

if {[string match "* hede *" $line] == 0} {
Yay!
}

OR

foreach line $lineData {
if {$line == "hede"} {
continue
}
}
It's almost like the 'network engineers' in gaming have never looked at the network architecture of a telecom system. Same problems: well-known standard solutions.

Not even remotely.

The biggest difference is that in commercial telecom, there's no such thing as obsolete data that can be safely dropped. If an audio stream packet doesn't arrive in time, the user will perceive a glitch, which the codec may or may not be able to cover up psychoacoustically. So these users try hard to prioritize reliable delivery whenever possible. Telecom's mission is to emulate a circuit-switched network with packet switching, which, while necessary, is never going to be the right strategy in the general case.

In game networking, on the other hand, a 200-millisecond-old packet is like a week-old newspaper. If it doesn't arrive in a reasonable amount of time, there's no upside to delivering it at all. The client is better off waiting for the next update from the server, relying on local prediction in the meantime. There's an excellent chance that the user will never notice the dropped packet(s).

This fact by itself means that any application-agnostic attempt to implement reliable delivery or packet sequencing is a waste of time from a game developer's perspective. Streaming protocols developed for video and other media may be a better match, but they still won't be ideal for a use case involving interactivity and client-side prediction. (For one thing, any media streaming protocol is likely to be more concerned with bandwidth over latency, and games live and die over the latter.)

People have been trying to come up with "one transport protocol to rule them all" since TCP/IP, and have always failed spectacularly. There's always going to be room for interesting work in this space, and the notion that an entire class of users should "just use XYZ/IP" or whatever is always going to be as misguided as the early recommendations to ignore UDP in favor of TCP were.
That might actually be a good idea! I wonder whether a hosting provider or ISP is more reliable in not snooping SMTP traffic, but assuming that is equal, it sounds like the best of both worlds indeed.

It's 100,000 people[1], how come they don't have a station for a rail that literally passes through? Of course they need to fix it right away.

FWIW, we use server-side decos in the Wayland implementation of KDE Plasma and KDE/Qt apps, for these reasons and many others. If anyone says it can't be done, feel free to point them our way :-)
Why on dynamic IP? Why?
No, we don't really understand infinity.
We don't even know what is an infinite in our reality, unless I missed some really important news.
You can understand perfectly infinity in the mathematical abstraction of reality.
You can use it for renormalization or whatever theoretical instrument you want, but please don't tell me that you know everything about infinites when all the empirical observations at the moment go against an infinite universe and an infinitely divisible space-time that is probably discrete rather than continuous.

Stepping back in topic, from my point of view of a completely amateur physicist, I really appreciate her work.

He's Brilliant, She's Lovely: Teaching Computers to Be Less Sexist
Just wanted to say thanks for this amazing answer. My statement wasn't worded the best but I feel like you captured the essence of what I was trying to say.

I see things like quantum mechanics and think about how instead of say at the deepest levels of nature that instead of somehow enumerating all the possible positions of an electron or particle it was more efficient to somehow make it probabilistic. Likewise for things like fractals instead of having a ridiculously high-degree polynomial function you have a simple polar function or the examples in the article that make elegant designs from a simple formula.

I am rambling at this point but I appreciate your links. I already went down the rabbit hole on the Wikipedia ones.

As an aside when I took a MSCS class in cryptography I had to refresh on set theory and remember enjoying that and I guess is what got me thinking about these types of things again.
You're not wrong, but this doesn't just happen in America, and it doesn't just happen at the city, county, or state level.

There are entire countries or overseas departments of countries that cannibalize tax bases of others, some in corporate taxes, some in personal taxes. There are countries that, due to low wages, low cost of living, and low worker protections, can manufacture certain goods really cheap. There are countries that can ruin their countryside extracting resources like copper, rare earth metals, or oil and sell it internationally.

Ultimately regardless of what the territorial unit, each unit looks out for their self-interest, because a 'Unified Greater Boston' may result in more growth, but it will likely come with a different allocation on wealth to the particular area that each fiefdom covers. It's really just capitalism where each entity competes with another, and some win really big, while most don't.
Let me be the guy who noticed that this conclusion:

“The STEM labor market is heterogeneous. There are both shortages and surpluses of STEM workers, depending on the particular job market segment.”

...is something that somebody actually paid to hear/read. Whatever happened to common sense?

I realize this is pulling things out of context, but in what context exactly is this mega-obvious statement contributing anything at all to any discussion?

It's an honest question and not an attempt at trolling.
> force employers

This is usually where good intentions go awry. A more efficacious approach is to find ways to make it worthwhile for employers to do so.
This completely defeats the original purpose of this HN. Why would anyone invest effort in hosting an independent email server to have all its content routed clear-text through Google's servers/databases?
>build something that provides a unique unprecedented benefit, important enough that people will use it no matter how inconvenient it is

As much as I like Tim I have to agree. My mom doesn't give a shit about controlling her data, much less know who has it or how it's being used.

HN, What would be a killer user-experience that Solid could facilitate with it's data-silo'ing?

=> Enable 3rd party apps that use Solid's login to offer hyper-targeted onboarding and pre-fill more account creation inputs

=> Enable background cross-app communication to app's you've given permission to in order to facilitate great user-experiences? Eg. Spotify tells your Ticketmaster app what musicians you listen to, Ticketmaster gives you notifications when said musicians are coming to your town

=> ???
> or been smart enough.

So let's say this is the case. There are a lot of stupid people in this country, I might be one of them (the term is imprecise. Do behavior disorders call under that category?). What do we do about (to/for) these people? We can't find a better way towards a well functioning society than beating and jailing people?

Many of these criminals (especially drug sellers or users) are a manifestation of the cycle of poverty and mental illness while the court systems seem to make it worse instead of offering solutions for the community.

My solution is to deal with poverty as a whole, to reform the justice system, to recognize that we can give people the freedom of a basic standard of living so they do not have to live in crushing desperation. And the rest of us do not have to live as unwilling accomplices to an horrific system.
"what he said". The Mail Transfer Agent (e.g. postfix, exim, etc) is the part of a mailserver that accepts mail, hands it off to a delivery agent if it's local, or hands it off to the recipient's MTA if it's not.

Basically it's the component that handles SMTP. Local delivery, pop3, imap, etc are almost always handed off to another component.

It's usually the difficult component because it's the service that other hosts will interact with. So if my imap service misbehaves, it annoys me until its fixed. If my MTA misbehaves, it's a lasting black mark against my host's reputation.
SPF, DKIM, DMARC could be dropped if you actually use aws ses to send your mails, you can actually forward the mails there. So it's pretty impossible that your messages will be in spam.
The only thing you need to manage is incoming mail now and not being a open relay.
I've observed the criminal justice system at work in Texas a few times. A murder case, some misdemeanors, a few felonies. I've seen it from arrest to prison life.

It is a dark and deeply depressing thing. There is little compassion for victims, the accused, the convicted. I could write a thousand words but it pains me to think about it.

I pray I never get falsely accused of a crime and I'm so glad I'm not black. If all the boring white folk who couldn't fathom finding themselves so much as suspected of a crime had to go through the criminal justice system as the average YBM the system would be massively overhauled yesterday.

Most of the boring white folk I know think everyone in jail is a cold blooded psychopath who works out all day and dreams of stabbing people... "hardened criminal".

The system is just full of unlucky humans. God knows I did shit in my youth I could still be in prison for. The extremely violent type are actually quite rare.

I'd like to see a move away from sentencing being regarded as punishment. It should be more along the lines of a person needing to be withdrawn from society for a time because they cannot behave themselves. I.e. it should be about protecting society from them.
I did a similar thing 2 years ago and chose Fastmail. Their web-app is best of breed ex google -- unfortunately, the honest truth is nothing is as good as gmail web + gmail apps + google cal.

Fastmail does have more issues -- lack of fit and finish, their web app is sometimes buggy, their spam detection is buggy, it's imap, the lack of gmail style conversations being the fundamental unit of work in the app shines through sometimes, the gmail app on android does not interact well with fastmail, etc. However, they have recently fixed my biggest complaints: charging 11 cents per sms message to do 2fa and their rules interface looking like it was written as a my-first-javascript project. So it's actively improving. I like it enough that I recently re-upped for another two years.

They do enjoy one big advantage over google besides privacy: tech support! Like a human, that reads and responds to issues submitted through their site! I've contacted them twice with questions about setting up my domain and one other thing and I got replies, from someone who knew what she/he was doing, within an hour each time!

Also, they will do a catch-all address (eg xoxo@xoxo.com) which receives email from every address not specifically defined. Thus you can implement the best anti-spam technique: every email you give out is domain@xoxo.com which forwards to you@x0x0.com so you can tell exactly who sold or leaked your email address. eg latimes@x0x0.com was sold all over the place.
"The Flatiron School’s 12-week course costs $15,000, but earns students no degree and no certificate."

And bolster the military industrial complex a bit more. It is a war, afterall.
The article is a swing and a miss. The problem is much deeper than the bias of being more educated and intellectual. It's that they believe singular "policy" can be made and then dictated top-down - that effects will be quickly visible and easily understandable. They're up against a hard problem in the computational complexity sense, yet it is in none of their interests to be honest and admit their limits.

Most of their ideas lack intellectual rigor and merely follow the fashions of power. BI in particular is a simplistic continuation of printing money to overstimulate the economy.

My friend gave me a tour of the Supreme Court the other day. Apparently, each quadrant of the building is made with marble sources from the corresponding regions of the US, and the marble in the main courtroom is Italian. My first reaction was that that this building would never get built today.

But I don't think that's necessarily a good thing. I think it's necessary symbolism. The rule of law works because we collectively agree to abide by the rulings of people who don't even have guns. Which is really incredible if you think about it: only in an advanced civilized society like ours can a tiny octogenarian woman like Justice Ginsberg wield the kind of power she does. The fancy marble edifices are part of how we express that collective commitment.
You attacked a strawman (a "telecom" engineering that hasn't been taking the concerns of realtime video into account every telecom protocol for the last 20 years.) Video has exactly the semantics you're talking about, and video-typed flows in RTP et al are interactive channels (originally, to enable adaptive streaming) in exactly the way games need for their data.

(The sending of extra information to enable client-side prediction, on the other hand, is something that can be added without altering the transport layer at all. Layering!)

Bytes on the wire are bytes on the wire. It doesn't matter what vertical you're working in; it just matters how the bytes on the wire need to behave. People should forget about the fact that something is "a game" and just look for wire-protocol structural isomorphisms before assuming their case is so unique.

There are a few issues with getting these train stations built though:

A. The state of Rhode Island currently reimburses the MBTA for all operating expenses south of the RI/MA state line, and they just funded a commuter rail extension south of Providence to attract intra-RI commuters to take transit to Providence instead of driving. However, even providing incentives such as free parking, ridership at these stations has pretty drastically missed expectations [1], and the trains are scheduled to take the same time as the bus takes in rush hour traffic. The commuting situation/parking isn't bad enough in RI like Boston or New York to make the train obviously beneficial time/money wise, when you lose schedule flexibility of when you can go to/leave work.

B. The site of the proposed train station only has two passenger tracks and is located in a high speed (125 MPH or 150 MPH) zone. Starting service to the station is not as simple as just refinishing it and having trains stop there: Amtrak (which owns the tracks) would probably insist that the state of Rhode Island quad-track through the station so that its trains can pass a stopped commuter train.

C. It's difficult to get transit projects funded near state borders, because of the mindset of "we paid for it and they all go work in the other state!".

Providence is a pretty fast-growing city, so it's possible that in 5 to 10 years the traffic situation makes a much more compelling case for people to make use of transit, but additional commuter rail service there is a kind of hard sell.
