Not to be too critical, but reminds me of a woman I know who pitches how great & easy & wonderful it is to buy complete fixer-upper cars and houses and make something great out of them. But if you read her posts on the subject, you realize her father is a contractor, her husband is a mechanic, and they do most of the work.
I think 9 years is at the high end. The drive train was replaced at 65K and the battery was replaced at 75K miles which probably makes "into the ground" not much longer than when the 8 year warranty runs out.
Consider changing "either of" to "any of".

The word "either" implies only two choices, making your opening example confusing when the first "either of" was really picking from three possibilities.

Ireland is still the lowest taxed place in Europe, although the UK is pretty good and Luxembourg was a good option (overall, exemptions matter too). As the money that flows into Ireland is profits form European sales, it will be taxed somewhere in the EU, at some rate.
Speaking of minimal living, I've just recently moved to a new city for work, and I've shacked myself up in a backpackers, and plan on staying at the backpackers probably until the end of the year.

It has a lot going for it. It's cheaper than rent (by a significant amount), and it's literally 3 minutes from work. I also get to meet lots of interesting people.

I have my backpack and a laundry bag of kit, and that's it. It's about as minimal as you can get, which has been an interesting experience for me as I usually have stacks and stacks of stuff.

It does have some disadvantages, such as being rather noisy, and the fact that you have to carry all your valuables around with you wherever you go, since things tend to go missing.

Personally I value (lack of) variance much more than absolute duration: I can easily plan around a either a 19 or 22 minute commute as long as that's consistent -- it's the needing to allow for 20-40 (looking at you, MUNI) that made planning hard, and that I'll pay a premium to avoid.
He owned a house before, so that's a moot point, he could have used his own house before selling it.

But of course his lifestyle is enabled by his environment. It is easier to do that in the US than in Europe, easier in the Western World than in the third world, easier if you started off as a developer rather than a min wage employee with the burden of student debts, easier single than couple with kids, easier as a man than woman, ...

If you are one of the richest man in the world (not the 1%, just above average in one of the richest country in the world), which is pretty much the majority of HN, this is an interesting alternative lifestyle.

Note that it is oddly reminiscent from the 7/80's hippies. I just wonder if just like them, some of those people will settle down one day and make a 180 turn on everything they valued when they were younger.

Microsoft’s fancy new Outlook.com, planned for this year, now delayed until next
Hi Snowbat, I don't think Bernardo assumes such a simulation (a kind of solipsism?) or is this thought experiment for the sake of 'what if'? "Make love" as Bernardo says in this sense implies genuine meaningful relationship, even though both persons are dreams within 'the godhead', transcendent or ultimate reality or whatever you call this 'timeless meaning'. If so there's still both illusions of active agents (humans who love), which are meaningfully 'real' in the socalled "mind-at-large".
Even if you were all alone, crashed or stranded on this planet or another, you can find unity in relationship with the environment which is 'not you'. I think you could relate to plants and animals with love, admiration, beauty and an intense purpose. Animals can return this love as well. Of course other humans would amplify the meaning significantly as I think the love between men reflects the transcendent better, perhaps mystics disagree and their union with God is above anything else. I have no clue, but I for sure would agree with you.
This aspect is - for what I understood of Bernardo Kastrup's views - not undervalued and likely just as much emphasized as you and I do. But it's sure good to point it out, love gets it ultimate expression in human relations. I wonder though what theologians and/or mystics would say about this. Bernardo Kastrup argues theology can (and should if the ideas are true) be re-examined in light of the implications of his thought. I'm not sure if I make sense to you or in general?

Oh man, I remember reading your reddit post, and pooh-poohing your idea as stupid and irresponsible.

I reckoned a Jeep was about the worst possible vehicle for the job, that you would break down and be stuck because nobody drives Jeeps in Africa. I still believe a Landcruiser, Land Rover Defender, or a G-Wagen would've been a better choice in terms of parts and repairs, but it seems the Jeep has held up fine.

I'm actually quite happy to have been proven wrong. Congratulations on a safe and fun trip!
I find the virtual DOM is much easier to create using regular HTML syntax. I like Vue 2.0's approach where it creates a virtual DOM from the actual DOM itself.

Edit: I left a huge comment regarding POJOs and how the example on the homepage is pretty ugly, but I just found out that there's something called Hyperscript, and it's used to create a virtual DOM. So, while the example is in Hyperscript, Maquette also supports JSX.

I still don't understand the point of all of this I guess. Isn't it time we as JavaScript devs took a step back and thought "why do we need this?"
This lifestyle sounds interesting. Is it inspired by choice or necessity?
"Save often, restore a lot"
To an extent, I agree with your first point. Should a big mass of people suddenly 'come into the light' and realize they can do whatever the fuck they want, that could become a problem. No need to look far, capitalism is just the latest implementation of the very old concept of 'rich men exploit poor men'. However, we shouldn't forget that we're quite elaborate little things that can through discussion agree on a common set of rules by which to interact with one's environment. So while there may not be any sense in life, just as an individual can create meaning for himself, so can a larger group of people. Obviously, this gets harder the larger the group, which is why to this day nothing has really worked out. I try to be optimistic.

Your second point comes at an interesting point in time: if general robotization works out on the scale that's being talked about right now, jobs for humans will fall off a very big cliff. Meaning, current education systems, whose sole purpose is to pump out hard-working, quick-spending bureau apes, will become utterly useless. I was lucky enough to go to a very good school, and even there, we never learned to think. We learned more algebra or languages or what-have-you than the vast majority of other schools (which I could confirm in the first week of uni), but nobody ever told us what to do with all that. It's not in the program, because all you're wanted for is keeping the system running. No need to think outside the box, here.

Frankly, I don't see how humanity can not crumble into a fucktillion little pieces if we don't give the coming generations something to do. And I think thinking is something we lack hugely, so that would be a good thing. Now, the ablity to think doesn't pop up in your head one sunny afternoon. It has to be taught, by the parents, by the schools, by society. That means fuck adverts. Fuck legalese. Fuck politicians. Fuck expensive action movies. Fuck all the things that are meant to keep you from thinking.
I was looking for this info throughout the web, thanks. As an American I had never dreamed of a license to receive broadcast television, so this was all very informative.
I don't know what that means. I'm assuming a random element of the tree is picked, that parent nodes are in a smaller or equal cache level than children, that all but one cache levels are used completely, that each cache level has O(sqrt n) access time, and that there is an upper bound on the ratio between successive cache sizes.

Or less generally: it takes sqrt(j) nanoseconds to dereference the pointer with value j, and parent nodes are at smaller addresses than their children.
I don't quite think so. AirPlay is a proprietary Miracast, long before Miracast existed. Although it's proprietary and the payload is protected with DRM, Apple uses it as an encrypted tunnel between approved (and first-party) devices.

Meanwhile, Google Cast is a media-streaming negotiation, handoff and control protocol marketed as a wireless streaming solution. It's not so much about packets on the wire as control commands and metadata. That, I feel, is a significant difference.
Hold on a second. Are you trying to say that a ride-sharing app for cats is of zero or negative value to mankind? That professional bullshit artists and narcissists calling themselves "founders" and "hackers" don't measure up to the old guard who built real innovations such as microprocessors? Blasphemy.
It's a nice idea and nicely designed. However, there's some questionable info for the US at least. I would strongly recommend tipping more than 5-10% in restaurants and just rounding up in taxis. (And on the other hand tipping for hotel cleaning is less universal.) I'm also not sure how to evaluate the cost comparisons in a country as large and diverse as the US.

Apple, FB and Instagram are capitalist-based companies that wish to maximize profit.

People are narcissists and generate demand for narcissistic products, and are willing to pay and/or invest time on them.

From a tech point of view, you can argue that a lot of these companies innovated in being able to scale their solutions to supply the "narcissistic demand" of billions of people in real-time.

From a product point of view, you can argue that a lot of these companies managed to figure out the most comfortable and intuitive ways for people to express their narcissism.

From an all market point of view, you can also argue that lots of non-tech companies also exist based on narcissism, e.g. cosmetics, fashion.

If silicon valley's next bubble does burst, it will probably have nothing to do with narcissism, and more to do will investment speculators not learning their lesson the first time.

> I'm sorry, I'm a little lost at "the solution to governments having captured individual CAs is to add a set of new CAs that they control directly and that can't be revoked because they're tied to the DNS".

That's because it's not a solution. There isn't a non-political solution.

By making it explicit rather than implicit one is forced to confront the truth, and be honest about it. .com is owned by the United States; .ru is owned by Russia; .ly is owned by Libya; .io is owned by the United Kingdom.

If we got rid of non-DNS CAs (for host-verification purposes, anyway), it would, however, mean that only the U.S. may legally suborn .com, .org &c.; that only Russia may suborn *.ru, and so forth. That's a pretty big win over the present situation, in which every government who can lay its hands on a CA employee can get a certificate for any site in the world.
Conveniently this has helped me every time I've moved. It's happened more out of engineer's laziness than anything else. Eventually you don't unpack a thing enough times that you accept owning it won't change your life.
Not too surprising. One interpretation of the government's role is to get the best deals for the citizens and companies under it's control. Also if the US ever wants to get that money back into the US via repatriation or by imposing taxes on overseas profits it's hard to do when it's already in the EU coffers.

The end game for certificate transparency is that browsers will reject a certificate unless the server can prove that it has been submitted to at least two logs. In fact, as of the next version of Chrome, this will be required of all Symantec certificates due to their past misdeeds.

The fact that HPKP and CT have not been fully adopted yet is not a good argument against them when the alternative under discussion is DNSSEC+DANE, which has seen even less adoption and doesn't even solve the problem.
In All departments it does not work you need to choose a department. I updated the article according to this.

> Assuming the writer is as scrupulously honest as they seem to be, how legally exposed would they be in actually naming names?

Anyone involved who wanted to claim that the negative portrayals (of which there are plenty) were false and caused economic harm -- both individuals and the company as a company -- could file libel claims for the damages caused. Even if no liability was actually found in the end, the cost of fighting the lawsuits could be significant.

> And assuming they are exposed, are astute commenters who use clues from the article to reveal the company also liable?

Its harder to see liability there, though its not impossible that someone could try to make a case.
I'm sure it's a wire transfer of some type. No one but the gov't deals with that much cash.
If done right, the competitive advantage is in the optimization of the allocation of labor. It's just that there don't seem to be that many labor-intensive businesses where optimization provides the kinds of returns necessary to make it worthwhile.

As for the on-demand valet service, seems that Luxe got there first and built the partnership relationships before the competition. No idea how they're doing, but at a minimum they're not deadpool yet.
Yeah; I'm hearing this as a reason more and more often. People's paranoia is overwhelming and CPS/CAS is often duty-bound to investigate. I was abused as a child, and no CAS tip could have saved me. Meanwhile, they are surely making it very difficult for normal people to raise children. It's basically illegal to let children play in the back yard.

I still want to have kids though; I don't get how even these tangible concerns can turn anyone off the idea. The chemical and emotional wonder of the idea is overwhelming to me.
I'm not absolutely sure this isn't a joke that got out-of-hand. This is the COBOL of regular expressions. :)

Whilst the conventional regular expression syntax is arguably overly compact, this is just too far in the opposite direction!

Something more PEG-like, or even Perl 6 regex-like, would make more more readable regular expressions whilst not completely throwing out everything we think things mean. Hell, even /x -- ignore whitespace and comments -- can make things much clearer:

/ ^
[0-9a-z._%+-]+ # The local part. Mailbox/user name. Can't contain ~, amongst other valid characters.
\@
[0-9a-z.-]+ \. [a-z]{2,} # The domain name. We've decided a TLD can never contain a digit, apparently.
$ /x

Tangentally, there's no point validating email addresses with anything more complicated than /@/. If people want to enter an email address that doesn't work, they can and will. If you want to be sure that the address is valid, send it an email!

Agreed. Having both bootstrapped and raised VC, it doesn't matter how much you raise or from whom, raising the money changes the company and how you feel about it, period. If you feel like your heart is in owning your whole business and not raising money, don't. It matters.

Sure, but 1. It's pretty easy to expose a similar API, those are all functions 2. The documentation tools for the language naturally document the combinators.
