Implementing it and presenting it your users once is easy, and not that obtrusive. Doing it N times is not, and the complexity multiplies. It also increases the complexity of support. I see it as avoiding design decisions instead of making them. Since I don't see it as a viable option, I imagine they don't as well - it doesn't take must insight to realize you can provide an external switch to go between two different behaviors.
That doesn't apply to all of Europe. In Norway salaried workers have a 40 hour week, but are only paid for 37,5 hours. The work day is 8 hours long, but you are not paid during the 30 minute lunch break.

It is also common to work from 8 to 4, but developers and others who are not too dependent on the outside world can have a bit more flexibility.

It is funny to see the shock in some foreigners when "nobody" is at the office after 4, when in fact they have already been at work for 8 hours.
Institutions have larger life, NATO is not dissolved after Cold-war, so we are on the same page when it comes to US should push its so called allies to pay more into NATO and do more, but for now the things are that way. It is not a badge of honor, I am stating the facts.
The US spends 57% more on military than France. France spends 36% less on their military than the US.

Your 44% doesn't really make sense.
By the way, something to think about regarding your suggested solution to the "John Deere problem":

John Deere will simply start selling smart tractors. You know, a large machine with a strong motor and everything. And with a computer controlling it. But without any software. Or with only very basic software. You cannot actually do anything useful with it unless you install some tractor apps. Which you can licence. From John Deere. So, what have you gained? Or do you have any workaround for this that does not entail abolishing DRM?

Huh, this actually might be a pattern my manager used, making it a lot less ad-hoc than was my first impression of him doing an interview.

Oracle JRE and JDK Cryptographic Roadmap
I'm probably an odd one out, but I love using credit cards. Got my first student card as a freshmen in college, and at this point I have about 10 cards, each with a very high limit (most of them with nothing on them).

I treat them like shock absorbers/cheap debt. For example - we're saving up for a down payment, while there's large bulk expenses that pop up like tuition for Masters programs. I throw those on the credit cards, and take advantage of balance transfer offers to essentially get a low-interest loan for a year.
Or 1146 9600 baud connections...
I will NEVER forget working as a student in the college bookstore during EOY spending. I watched department chairs throw anything and everything into shopping carts, as if they were gameshow contestants trying to beat the clock.

"What is this Mathematica software? What does it do? I'll take 4 copies."

The idea of course was insanity to me: if you didn't spend your department budget, you were in danger of having it reduced next year. So you were punished for leaving money on the table.
Actually I don't think you're an outlier at all. This is exactly what me and my wife do. Everything from the mortgage to daily coffee goes on a card. I have a weekly calendar event to zero of the balance on each. We get all the cash back benefits and never pay any interest or membership fees.
This is probably futile, but ESR's original message appears to have been private, so there could not have been any intention of "defaming" Perens.

Perens posted the private message on a Debian list:

And received some pushback:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/1999/04/msg00636.html

I don't condone ESR's original message and would never write something like that, but again, you are totally exaggerating.

"Everyone" knows of it, so if you don't you are not part of "everyone". That would not look good.
We obviously need some sort of line drawn. Expressing your view should definitely be okay, whether others agree with it or not. Mass harassment is entirely different. It's like how speech isn't protected when you're ordering somebody to kill someone, it's fundamentally different.
The average person probably wouldn't benefit from cuts that much while a minority of people would be deeply negatively affected. You can bet that minority of people is going to be calling their representatives whereas the average citizen won't care either way.

I disagree. In the prisoner's dilemma the prisoner chooses to defect despite it ultimately and predictably having a negative effect on himself personally.
The law seems to indicate otherwise.
For your health insurance, if you're otherwise healthy, look into an HSA. You'll have a high deductible ($3k-ish) but it's linked to a savings account that can grow over time. Mine is currently paying 1.5%, which beats the pants off any other savings account I have.
That's assuming NASA is planning to sell it. What if they simply gave it to Google or SpaceX? Perhaps a deal could be made to exchange the ISS for a few launches.

There's a difference between not using a credit cards and not carrying credit card debt. Its called paying your balance off every month. A bit of clickbait there in the title.
Its not really in their interest to answer dishonestly: if I take the job and it turns out the work/life balance sucks, I'll leave, and they'll have wasted a lot of time & effort on me.

Also, the people I'm asking are typically engineers, they're not inclined to lie about things like this, and they're not expert spin doctors. Plus, when I go for the full day interview and talk to many people, I'll ask many of them about it.

Ow no, now you have doubled your problems!
Interestingly, you can get the benefits to your credit rating without actually using the card at all (beyond the couple transactions per year required to keep the account active). In fact, this is an optimal strategy: One of the factors in your credit rating is how much of your available credit you use. Bizarrely, even if you pay your balance in full every month, a large balance:limit ratio still counts against you. So spending no money is better than having enough income to spend lots of money without holding debt long term. If you want to put all your spending through the card for the side-effects without being penalized for using too much money responsibly, you have to pay down your balance before the billing date.

Basically: credit ratings are crazy bullshit.

I honestly don't like this burden of trolling to be placed on the right

The 90's and early 2000's were refreshing where you had to be a certain geek to get to the web, which was a filter enough.

We should have never let the normals onto the Internet, and doubly never should have given them the time of day to talk about it. They've taken every disagreement that they discover online and cast it into onto the left-right spectrum (or some other bullshit narrative about who the people really are and what they really want). They make things intractable and will profit off complaining that they're intractable.

>I'm from Cuba and I can say that weekly package (el paquete) always contains files from previous weeks, so what's real new each week is up to 200 GB

Right, thanks! I made the erroneous assumption that the bulk of the data changed weekly (thanks to that "... 851GB ... at 11Mbps 24 hours a day" thing). Keeping the AV updates/some text-heavy-craigslist-alike current is an entirely different proposition.

Here I thought this was a revolutionary high-throughput sneakernet content accretion system possibly operating under the government/telcos collective nose, but as others point out it's probably more like the warez FTPs of the 90s. Here's hoping wider pipes, both technologically and ideologically, come to Cuba soon.
I don't understand why the author titled this piece "...because they have no money", when the article doesn't actually give that as a reason (instead it's 'lack of awareness [of benefits]', 'not being financially literate', and 'being more self-aware').
So an alert that just says "xss" just started popping up after a few cities. Did somebody discover something mid-game and start injecting that?

I am exactly the same way. I buy everything using my credit card and pay off every cent from the last month on the 18th of each month. No extra interest, but I gain rewards and it has let me build good credit as a young person with no other means to do so. I've never carried a single penny over from one month to the next.

Virgin galactic would make more sense to me
Anecdotally speaking, I'd have to disagree with the authors conclusion here. Most of my college-aged friends (many of which are from the University of Delaware, the same school the author goes to) rely solely on their credit cards; the only ones I can think of who don't are those who get paid mostly in cash (waiters/waitresses, bartenders, under-the-table short term jobs, etc). Hell, most of my friends think I'm weird for using cash as much as possible; few even carry cash these days.

Personally, I'd say that, while plenty of college-age millennials still rack of credit card debt, a lot of us also had the idea of "Always pay off the entire monthly amount on your card" beaten into us by our parents and by seeing the effects of the recession. We might not be "financially literate" yet (god knows I'm still learning) but we at least know that.
Could the ISS be retrofit with boosters and sent to mars? Honest question... I don't know the physics behind this. Would the structure hold enough fuel to be able to slow down? We have shown people can live there for a year at a time.
I do roughly the same thing.

My regular bank changed the fee structure on me, somehow I missed the notice about it, and I got dinged with some account fees. So I switched ALL of my day-to-day spending to a credit card with a competing bank.

So instead of 40-ish Interac transactions per month for my day-to-day stuff, they get one bill payment transaction.

My interest payments are zero, since the bill gets paid off, plus I get the cashback bonus right around Christmas time.

Hard to argue with that logic... wow.
The US occupations have been pretty successful from a military prospective. I'm not sure you could do a much better job in the 21st century (without resorting to insane brutality).

It was the geopolitical result that was disasterous. Blame that on the administrations that ordered the occupations, especially, the state department and intelligence agencies.

The occupation of Iraq was a stupid move, but the military could have sustained it indefinitely.
That's... insane to me. Right now I have 2 open accounts. 1 CC (that I pay off every month so no interest) and my Mortgage. I don't even have a car payment right now. Yet my credit rating is top like... 4%? Mind I've had that credit card for almost 2 decades at this point.

Depends if it's a mishap or a 'mishap' I guess.

I used to work for a massive retail company and our variance on the total at the end of a single day when cashing up was usually 1p, over 1 pound and people would start looking into it, over 10 pound it had to be reported to loss prevention.

It's a different world I guess.
which is exactly the reason he should be allowed to see the full details of the cap table to see what makes those shares more valuable than his and estimate his stocks value based on that info plus other financial info. It is exactly why this law exists because otherwise it is impossible for someone to value their shares and when you own shares that include a right to first refusal clause it makes it nearly impossible to shop the shares around on the private market
It's a pivot though. If you can compromise anything that's on the LAN you can pivot inside with this. The sample files provide prove that they have working exploits, that they're NSA-grade, and that they function. The actual auction files are probably much more "fire and forget" grade -- either acting over the internet or doing privilege escalation combined with these attacks.

Conversely, people like me who were stupid at 18 and let a $400 credit card go into collections are completely screwed for a decade. I can't even get a cell phone contract, much less a mortgage. I believe strongly that the legal age of majority should be raised to 21.

I see 4 groups:

1. Largely above inflation are everything requiring local work.

2. Below inflation are everything mass produced in Asia.

3. Staying at 0 are the mix of the first 2, your car is built locally with automation and parts coming from everywhere in the world.

4. The last, housing and food is basically the center mass of the inflation calculations, this is basically normal that it is following the inflation.

The particular case of college tuition and textbooks is a US issue, we do not have it in the rest of the world. So, we just learnt that the higher education system in the US is broken or maybe we knew it already?
This is the thing when I see wall street, and specifically high frequency trading vilified. Income inequality, the plight of the middle class, etc has almost nothing to do with that kind of financial maneuvering. Getting rid of high speed trading won't affect the average person really at all - but yet it's constantly vilified.
I think a more feasible idea would be to build a mars shuttle in parallel orbit to the ISS.

This is all a big part of the reason why I personally advocate using a standardized text-based object serialization format (like YAML) for these sorts of things. In particular:

* Still text based and human-readable, which helps for debugging/troubleshooting
* Still text-based and machine-readable, so it's inherently cross-platform (assuming that all said platforms agree on their text encoding)
* Still less troublesome than piping arbitrary text through `grep` or `sed` or `awk` or what have you
* Still provides the "everything is an object" benefit that's lost with arbitrary text streams
* Still orientable around streams of data, at least for YAML (by using the document delimiter)

As my daughter observed, this was basically just standard toxic-relationship breakup crap gone viral. But whatever she might have done, even if she's guilty of everything she was accused of by her boyfriend who wrote a 10,000 word rant about her (seems unlikely), none of the stuff done by the gamergate trolls was justified. None of it.

edit: And if the girlfriend had written a 10,000 word rant about her boyfriend, the trolls would have attacked the girlfriend. That's how sexism works.
Shop around for credit cards more often. You can find deals where they will pay you $400 just for using their card for 3 months. A pair of southwest cards timed to get a companion pass can be worth close to $4000 if you do it right.
Batteries improve or get cheaper...

Teslas are designed for quick swap service of the battery allegedly...

Tesla has treated previous generation owners, such as the sport coupe, to free battery upgrades...

If there are enough used teslas on the market and replacement of the battery drops to a $1000 for a new-equivalent or even better battery, then teslas will be awesome used commodities.
If someone was willing to take on the operating costs and still lease out access/experiment time for anything less than billions, NASA would be champing at the bit to give it away.

However, I can't imagine why any commercial entity would be interested in burning cash in LEO, unless they have a very lucrative microgravity production requirement. But so far that scenario has just been a fable.
No one likes to hear the truth. I gave you an upvote because saying that medicare, social security waste, and welfare are more expensive that the military ruins the little utopia's HN'ers have built up in their minds.

Well, if the string was a widely occuring one (say, because it's useful in some coding task, etc.) you might expect it to turn up a few times in a google search for occurrences prior to Aug 1 2016.

I think it's reasonable to argue that he's revised it so thoroughly away from its original form that he can be considered to have written it. Perhaps it would help to distinguish the Jargon File and TNHD, although the former has for a very long time merely been the latter without the cartoons.
The cost of operating would be... astronomical. They would have to subsidize it's operation, and convince Russia and the minor international partners to go along with it.
Apropos of nothing, whenever I see blue and red fonts close together, as in the first image or my recent Spacemacs configuration, my brain tries to interpret it as a 3-D image.

It's been years since I've seen a blue/red 3-D image, but the effect is still there. Is it just me?
Same. I also find that sometimes I need "passive" time to think about the problem in the evening. And then when I come back to it in the morning, I have a bunch of different ideas to try out. It's much more productive (and more enjoyable) than sitting at a computer, grinding away at a problem.

The vast majority of programs that you run on a day to day basis will abort when they run out of memory. On a default Linux system, there's not even any way to prevent that - you need to faff with the config to make it actually return errors when allocating memory.
It looks to me whether or not a "stuff" can be "Made In China" is a strong indicator of whether it's becoming more expensive or affordable. Basically if it can be "Made In China" it'll be cheaper, otherwise it'll go the other direction. "Made In China" is used loosely here referring to anything that can be outsourced anywhere else, not limited to China.
Years at a time, yes, but with regular resupplies from the surface...

I'd be more worried about how much force the structure can actually take - is it stiff enough to hold together if you strap a big rocket to the back and turn it on?
I'm also a solo consultant (really just a contractor), and I've been working 20 hour weeks for the last month or so. I'm finding that I actually don't feel productive enough, mainly because I'm working for a small unlaunched startup, and they are really itching to launch. I mean, I'm still feeling productive for those 4 hours, but when I'm in "the zone", I can focus for much longer. When I'm work on a personal startup or side project, I often spend all day on it, maybe with a few breaks for food.

I'm holding fast to my 4 hour days, but I'm starting to feel like it's not ideal to be the sole part-time developer on a project that needs to launch soon.

But I suppose this could probably be mitigated if they hired another 1 or 2 developers.

>We need to update the New Deal for the 21st century and establish a trainee program for the new jobs artificial intelligence will create.

Maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic, but can AI really create jobs just by taking over old ones? Sure we could train some new "data analysts [and] trip optimizers", but in the end can we really mass replace low skilled blue collar jobs with higher skilled ones with the wave of a wand? In the period between when robots can automate the majority of low skill jobs and virtually all jobs, there is very likely to be some sort of significant turmoil as our economy undergoes a paradigm shift of sorts, and I don't think "just retrain workers" is that viable of a solution.
