"Perhaps the most controversial course of action, though, is the decision to carry and use supplemental O2. Most climbers consider their supplemental oxygen as equipment—just as much a part of their experience as their Gortex gear, and certainly as foundational as their extensive training."

This article is already self-contradictory. It doesn't need to make it obvious by putting these two sentences right next to each other. If it's just as foundational and normal equipment, then it's obviously not a controversial course of action. Also, not how you spell Gore-Tex.

JSON isn't un-evolvable. In fact, thrift can serialize to JSON.

What makes thrift evolvable in practice is that we don't remove fields and don't add mandatory fields. The same discipline can be applied to JSON definitions.

Well thrift also tags all fields with integers, so a consumer with an older schema can parse a record with a newer schema, skipping the new fields. Of course JSON trivially has this property.

Maybe the key here is "ad-hoc"; something like JSON-schema is needed.

Writing the code with the assumption that a key will change is on the same level with premature optimization, in my opinion.

It might be reasonable to make the assumption for some keys. In these cases a function taking the data and key as arguments and returning the value is sufficient and appropriate.

Frankly, if the code base is so littered with references to that specific data and key combination it might actually indicate a poor design.
Have you read the story about EpiPen at all? Doesn't sound like it...
I find Facebook to be a boring site, with friends complaining about the same things day in and day out, with an occasional link about something interesting, but mostly filled with inspirational memes and images that I don't particularly find relevant. Sure, I could better curate my friends list and follow a wider range of pages and topics, but then aren't we back at something like MySpace, where the idea was to follow everyone and everything you found interesting?

The problem with Facebook's usefulness isn't that I find it useful, it's that everyone else in my circle finds it useful. This means that any event, major life change like marital engagements and announcements of expectancy or child birth, and general updates of wellbeing from my elderly family are all communicated via Facebook. For example, a friend of mine from high school recently had a child. I had not logged into Facebook for over a year, and suddenly found myself embarrassed for my lack of keeping up with her when I ran into her at the grocery store while she was chasing down a toddler who had escaped down an aisle. I did not have the slightest clue as to her family status, because I stopped logging into Facebook to receive those updates and she stopped going out to parties and bars where we normally would run into each other (to avoid drinking and cigarette smoking), and it just appeared like we drifted apart.

Even now, some friends of mine are planning a trip together, and it's entirely done within a closed group on Facebook. There is no way for me to participate in this trip without maintaining some status on Facebook, else my significant other will have to just relay all that information, which is tiring, and prone to the "telephone" effect.

How data science fights modern insider threats
Any pertinent examples of "privileged white kids demanding trigger warnings for topics that call out their privilege?" I've never heard of an incident where conservative kids on campus demanded that a progressive speaker's event be canceled – all of the incidents I've seen in the news have been the other way around. (Of course, the news does tend to have its own narratives it wants to push ...)
Smart to ask people about what they'd like to learn, not just what they know already. Sometimes second on the list is just as important. For example, English is not the favored language of anything like a majority of the world, but it is everybody's second favorite by a landslide. This survey revealed a strong pent-up demand for vue.js.
Well, zoning is still determined largely by the local voters, albeit on the aggregate level rather than the individual property owner level. (For the most part, subject to legal challenges, etc.)

Because of urbanization which will continue to go on for a long time it's going to be next to impossible to drive prices down around the big cities.

People will simply just move as close to opportunties as possible and that will drive prices further up.

This is why cost of living is going up not down. For all the great things technology does it doesn't solve one of the most fundamental needs of humans.

has nothing to do with socialized medicine. You can buy anything on amazon, where fierce competition keeps prices low. Try comparing prices for medical devices or hospital prices. The healthcare "market place" is completely disfunct and government ("social") is a key monopolizer.
There are many on the right that agree that climate change is real. But they aren't just going to accept any and all legislation because of it. It's just that type of issue where the most ridiculous money wasting endeavors can be injected in the still of the night. Also not all regulations of industries improve them. Many hinder progress, many make it impossible to have competition in an area and some frankly are just based on incomplete science.

The other day I read an article where the headline said "Scientists explain why despite global warming, there is more ice in the antarctic." Then in the text it said "Scientists can't explain it."

So don't just think that things are conclusive because you've been reading articles. The "warmest july on record" isn't really all that impressive to me considering the record isn't that deep when it comes to the age of the earth.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't live/work in California.

I spend a lot of time in SF and LA, and in both places, the types of people who demand trigger warnings (and, related, talk about microaggressions and other imaginary offenses) are pretty common.

That also happens to be where a huge chunk of HN commenters/readers are based.

It is our reality. I do celebrate the news that outside of the SF/LA metro areas this cancer has not yet reached, but my day-to-day is very much affected by it.
That's probably very easy for a rich white man to say.

If you have no reason to use a safe space, and are bothered by being considerate to people who have had to live entire lifetimes of oppression for their gender, race, religion, sexuality, etc., it's very easy to be dismissive of basic progressivism in such a way. But it's 2016, and the new generation that is coming to power is going to do away with the concept of universities as institutionalized rub-your-nose-in-it factories of oppression, sexual assault, white supremacy, and similar. You can go kicking and screaming into the future, or you can be on the right side of history. It's only up to you, but there will be consequences, as always, to getting this wrong.
The following text occurs in a 1949 novel about addiction called The Man with The Golden Arm by Nelson Algren:

"He’d fished a nickel out of his pocket and slipped it into her palm. ‘Here’s a nickel, kid. Call me up when you’re eighteen. Right now I got to do some shoppin’ around.’"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_with_the_Golden_Arm_(n...

PDF: http://ihavebook.org/books/download/pdf/345035/the-man-with-...

I think "here's a nickel, kid" used to be some kind of hackneyed phrase, back when you could actually give a kid a nickel and they could get something for it.

If we work harder, we can probably dig up earlier references. In any case, this particular here's-a-nickel-kid seriously predates Dilbert.

Here is a very close pre-Dilbert reference. In 1992, a new Broadway musical opened called My Favorite Year (setting: 1950s). In it, a song called "Larger Than Life" features a here's-a-nickel-kid line. (This is based on a 1983 movie of the same name, which doesn't have such a line, as far as I can tell: found an English .srt subtitle file and searched).
In that same vein why do public schools get to saddle kids with an average of $30k in debt and leave them with the prospect of $8/hour jobs as many degrees do? Where's the outrage over public schools who do the exact same thing?

> You don't need laws against knives because there are already laws against assault and murder

A good point. In this case it's so hard to catch perpetrators that to stop the crimes, it could be necessary to ban the weapons or their distribution (if that even is a practical option).

Are the other similar situations, where perpetrators are so hard to catch and you have to ban the means? Counterfeiting is all I can think of, and they don't ban color printers they just put tracking tech in them. Also, color printers are dual-use: They have many legitimate uses, exploits have very few.

> The justifiable laws against specific weapons are for the exceedingly dangerous ones like plutonium and smallpox. That isn't this.

Weapons that help foreign governments oppress large parts of their population might qualify, though clearly not all exploits fit that description.

Ad-tech is such an odd-space. Every glimpse I get of it is fascinating: huge scale at minuscule latency, hard engineering problems, super-high valuations and exits: and yet, if you told me the top 10 names in ad-tech, I probably wouldn't recognize any of them. And I think most people are the same way. It's just a weird black-box sector of tech that almost nobody talks about. Not sure why though...
What the author doesn't seem to understand is that alpine ascents in general aren't done in the form of organized competitions, so the entire comparison to anti-doping regulations in sports is quite absurd: you can't tell people what not to do when they do it independently, unless oxygen is somehow universally made illegal. Even WADA can't tell you what substances not to use when you are cycling/running/doing-whatever on your own free time. There is no "Paradox of Doping" in mountain climbing: it's the same as in any other activity that is done independently - you can use equipment that will make it easier for you, but then others might not feel as impressed.

Which Android phones support the IC Card system? I know my Nexus 5X only supports NFC.
Which is why I'm sure you use the word "colored" (or worse) instead of african/african-american, homosexual instead of gay, tranny instead of transwoman/transman, and similar?

After all, words are just irrelevant symbol strings on top of a meaning, right? If you're not really racist, it shouldn't matter if you only ever refer to people of the global majority by slurs. The surest tell a movement is wrong is when they refuse to use the regular meanings of words.

>They learned these things at the university, from professors, and from fellow students who learned from the same professors.

I know what all of these things mean, and I didn't learn any of them from college, I learned them from reading blog posts and things online.
This is simple.

"Trigger warnings" are a form of censorship. "Safe spaces" are a form of self-segregation. Both are anathema to the academy.

To address the proposed censorship policy first, universities are the birthplace of free speech. Free exchange of ideas is absolutely essential for the transfer and furtherance of human knowledge. Both instructors and students must be able to state their ideas without fear of reprisal.

With regard to so-called "safe spaces," in my experience they are little more than ethnic enclaves with University funding. Whatever their original underlying rationale, "safe spaces" formed based on race, nationality, ethnic identity have become the norm.

Further, universities are not supposed to be comfortable. They are designed to confront our deepest beliefs, to intermingle people of vastly different backgrounds, and to teach not only technical skill, but the ability to cooperate with those with whom we have little in common. They are supposed to submerge people of different backgrounds in the same environment.

If you are comfortable, you are doing it wrong.

Finally, who determines who deserves a "safe space" and what requires a "trigger warning"? Inevitably the answer is the ever-expanding administration. The concept that these hired bureaucrats should be policing faculty speech is both inane and dangerous.

This new brand of political correctness ends with the shattered careers of educators. It ends with students educated about a reality that doesn't actually exist.

It ends with censored education.
From the article:

If purists are to be consistent in their argument,” says
Moller, “they should argue that one should not be allowed to
go to the top of the mountain with one’s clothes on—
alpinists’ clothes are incredible technologies in and of
themselves—or have any kind of gear. That would be a truly
pure ascent.”

The purists sound like (from this article) they're a bit too sensitive to other adventure seekers methods. Guess what, tech exists, these aren't competitive events, people will use what they can to achieve their goals.
> armed men with carbines will show up and ransack your offices and home

This is a solid reminder that in the end, your ability to use defensive technology does not actually decide who calls the shots. Power is still ultimately controlled by violence.

Here's the thing. We already have towns spread everywhere--just like in pretty much every country in the world. The US is a large country. I live in an exurban town that's adjacent to a couple of older/smaller manufacturing cities within an hour of a major tech metropolis (though my office is actually much closer). I have septic, pay for water, pay for trash pickup, etc. And, not that I object (as I go into the city a fair bit), but a lot of my taxes seem to go into urban infrastructure projects.

It's not black and white. It's not central Manhattan and the middle of Montana.

[ADDED: And, by the way, my town was founded in 1653. It's not some recent suburban sprawl addition.]
I don't recall seeing that spirit and creativity in a long time. Or am I just getting old and cranky?

I wonder how long it will be before our infrastructure really starts to go south before people will wake up to what this country is becoming? I think a few bridges need to collapse before people get the idea that this is about "pump and dump" now, not investment in the future.
Think about this for a second-- is holding onto desirable real estate as a wealth asset really a sustainable method of building wealth for the middle class?

In the Bay Area, you see what happens when the supply runs out: the middle class becomes renters for life.

...Real estate has been a boon for some in the middle class, but it's important to consider the wider implications of speculation in land values as a source of wealth-- it's ultimately unsustainable and highly regressive.

> There should never be bans of free speech consistent with that of the First Amendment (i.e, you can't shout "Fire" in a movie theater).

Freedom of speech and the First Amendment are two different things (and I'll note that there is no limiting clause in the first amendment), and I think it would be helpful if people realized this. Freedom of speech is a broader principle that is (IMO) a good idea independent of any legal enshrinement of the law.
