From my experience, this is one case where both sides are entrenched and refuse to accept the logic of the other side.

Same as the "prices should be stated with taxes included or not" debate. Good luck with that in the US. And with the metric system. And in other countries, driving on the left side of the road. It's culture, not logic.
We need more STEM majors with liberal arts training
Good answer. Although I'm actually kind of in the opposite boat.

I've been doing software dev for a little over 10 years now and recently I have been leaning more towards electrical engineering. Partly because I loved electronics before I knew how to code, but the main reason is that I have yet to find a software company that can make thought out decisions on languages, frameworks, listen to their devs, etc. Most companies I've worked at usually just pick the most common stuff and go with it because they either don't care or aren't actually the right fit for their position, only to realize waay too late that the software wasn't the best choice. And usually us devs get the blame because we are the magic people that can "make anything work".

The other part to this is that we always voice our concerns early on, but they fall on deaf ears because it is too much of a hassle for our decision makers to make more decisions, weigh pros and cons, etc. It gets really frustrating knowing a project is going to have issues down the road but nobody listens until it happens. If you were to look back on our slack chats at the beginning of most projects you would see many devs predicting the issues with almost perfect accuracy.

Where as, (imo without real world experience mind you), EE is fairly straight forward because there are only schematics and circuits and tangible progress. No hours long meetings on which of the hundreds of frameworks will guarantee success, PMs that don't really know much about proper project management, owners that think of themselves as the next google even though us dev grunts know that isn't true, etc.

I'm probably letting my frustrations guide this reply a little too much, but what i think im trying to say is that the grass always seems to be greener on the other side even if it's not.
A few perspectives:

1). Agree with many that Bluetooth (or another open protocol) is really the way to solve, but the incentives are low to implement universally as the common operating systems in our devices have shifted dramatically in the last 10 years.

2) remember the brief peer-to-peer revolution? Bit torrent, kazaa and emule were (are) pretty effective but have a bad reputation from being used for file piracy.

3). Because of #2, it's been safer for businesses to conform to the SaaS models / garden walls. (Monetizing them is also better understood)
He does mention writing an assembler called HAXWell, and there are code snippets of it in the article.
Not if its because of a paywall, because the answer is always going to be the same: Use your faculties to get around it, or your dollar to get over it, or simply move on.

Besides, the comments are often generalised moaning about the concept of a paywall.

But you are right, I should have said first-world countries, I am not familiar with developing countries policies. Compared to the US and Europe, Japan's immigration policy is far stricter (and sensible as you state for skilled labour) and a significant driver is a desire for homogeneity.

A large number of those in support of Brexit wish to have a similar approach. Very supportive of high-skilled immigration, against extremely high low-skilled immigration.
True, but there is no intrinsic reason why code from one vendor (Mozilla, Chrome group at Google) should be more or less secure that from the OS developer (e.g. MS, Apple).

In fact, for probably everybody except large browser vendors, you should never roll your own codecs (security, networking libs...) if it is not absolutely necessary.
yeah sure, the dns address is not registered anymore (getsdone.io), but i built a productivity app in sinatra; basically it leverages tweet like syntax and allows people to quickly delegate tasks to other people or oneself and track progress on those tasks. e.g. @paulgraham set up meeting for project review at 1pm tomorrow, pick up milk @danny. i basically got the web app up and running, but due to having to work on my full time job and other priorities, i just stopped after the dns name ran out after a year, i might be wrong, but the aws machine is probably still being charged, so all you'd need is a new ssl cert and renew or rebrand the dns name. never really got around to using it myself because most users wanted a mobile client.

There is a difference between your average liberal and what the politicians did. it's widely known that liberals have always been against mass incarceration. However I don't dispute that Democratic politicians did that to gain votes in a center right country. (at that time)
Alright, but why is that a problem? Might be a cultural difference thing that i'm not seeing.

If you signed with the employer to not have any side business going on then it's a different story. But you would know this in the first place, so you would only complain about not being allowed to shoot yourself in the foot.
I'm an immigrant in Norway. I do not have children, but have heard the stories. I used to hear some of the same stories in the American system, which also tends to not release details to protect the children.

Norway has strict laws about children and children have rights. These laws aren't bent because one is from another culture and living here. For example, physical punishment is pretty common in the US, but it is outright illegal here. It is seen as child abuse. If you have a drug problem, you might get your children taken away until you get yourself straigtened out. Sometimes you have to have classes or observation, and sometimes your children are removed until you do so. And honestly, from what I've seen with other immigrants, so long as you are following Norwegian law with the child, there isn't a problem.

> Parents are under gag order.
This is to protect the children. You see, if everyone finds out about it, they might treat the child differently or it might cause hardship or embarrass the child. And equality between kids is really important, so this sort of thing is avoided.

> There is no appeal, proof, or any oversight.
This is simply untrue. It might take time to appeal, but one can. Proof is an odd thing, and if things aren't clear upfront, they will take steps to make sure that the child won't be in danger if it is true. One has avenues to get help, but one must work within the system and take the steps. I don't know how well they work with foreign social workers, but again, if it is illegal in the country, you might be out of luck. People usually are expected to follow the laws of the country they are in.

> Does not release any details about cases, to protect children... even if child is already dead.
Again, to protect children. In the case that the child dies, this is truly more to protect what might be innocent parties involved.

> Siblings are often split
This is not unique to Norway. Sometimes this is the only way to keep kids safe: Other times, this is done while the investigation is going on so that one child doesn't influence the others.

> Removed children must speak Norwegian, the mother tongue is suppressed.
First, the kids will learn once they get school age - or earlier, if they are in kindergarden. It would be expected if they live here for an extended time because otehrwise they will be singled out. This really is just an effect of living in a foreign country. Finding safe homes with speakers of every language would be very difficult, and again. Better to find safe homes. This isn't something deliberate to harm people.

> relatives of children have zero chance to get custody.
I don't know for sure, but I doubt this is true and more rumor than anything. It would depend on the situation. In some cases, there would be little chance because the relative wouldn't keep the child removed from the threat (parents), but other cases, it might be possible.

> anonymous surveys...
Proof, man. Otherwise this is just rumor.
If you wild-assedly guess the speed of a bike somewhere between 0-30 mph, you're probably right, unless it's a serious downhill situation.

Drivers don't need super accurate estimates of bicycle speed; the speed is generally "low, but perhaps faster than you might think, so pad your estimate".
I don't disagree with you that Democrats pushed some of these bad laws. I just disagree with the characterization of Democrats as not-conservative, especially during and after the Reagan years. Certainly there are some Democrats who are not conservative, but as an aggregate I would consider the Democrats to be a center-right or simply right party.
i would lose the bunch that can't hold their side in a ideological argument about their work and instead resort to ad hominem
I know a lady who's married but isn't super happy in the marriage. When she discussed possible divorce with her husband, he promised that he'd bog her down with paperwork, unreasonable alimony demands and just an extremely messy and unpleasant divorce. No settlement, it's going to multiple levels of court and will take years.

Assuming your comment is meant as an argument for remain, it's an equally good argument for this woman not to get divorced.
> the TOM evolved first in response to social needs and then later, as an unexpected bonus, came the ability to introspect on your own thoughts and intentions

Does that somehow mean that introverted people are on another evolutional level than extroverts people?
Churches or other "moral" institutions?
I think it's fair game to call ideas stupid, and that's what he did. It's his assessment, your opinion may be different, but in this case I'd personally say his judgement was correct.

As far as feedback on ideas goes, this is a harsh criticism, but it hasn't really crossed the line into abrasiveness because it's not a personal attack. It's just a given that even smart people can and do have stupid ideas. At no point did he say or imply anything about the person raising the idea.
For a short time I had a windows 8 phone. That was the only time sending stuff over bluetooth from computer -> phone, phone-> computer, phone -> windows phone actually worked well. Unfortunately the rest of windows phone sucked.

blacks are actually surprisingly conservative in a lot of ways. I remember seeing that some protester at a black rights matter rally was also protesting for lgbt rights and was turned against by the reallt anti gay black crowd
It's presented as if it's a new discovery. If someone's interested in Physics, they should study Physics. It doesn't help much for one to jump right in the middle of a subject and act like they know what they're talking about. Which is exactly what linking to this scientific paper on HN encourages. In this case, anyone who could understand the paper would very likely have encountered the information already.

I've seen too many programmers act as if there's nothing they don't know or can't understand after a weekend's worth of study. That kind of arrogance is what separates scientists from pragmatists. It leads to situations like this:

It's not about a couple of spares vs a warehouse. Spare inventory levels are determined by expected failure rate x install base and also the expected lead time to buy more. But when the entire product gets recalled then suddenly you need to replace every instance at once, and that's not a thing you ever buy spares for. Even if you had multiple suppliers every manufacturer is also placing orders all at once for the remaining suppliers and they don't have the production elasticity to respond that quickly.

Supply chains are complex systems and it's never as simple as "buying more spares" and "having multiple suplliers".
"kills more than 40 Americans a day"

For perspective, alcohol kills 88,000 Americans a year (4th leading cause of preventable death).

This is a fantastic advance, though. Hope it works out.
I resent your cheap and illogical attack on my country and my people. I'm an American and I don't run around with firearms killing people.

More crimes happen in the warmer months because more people are active, outside, and interacting with each other.

It gives the company power over you, either to raise your insurance rates because you like pork rinds, or to embarrass you or your underage sister because you've been linked and she just had an abortion. And like we're learning from facebook, there's a herd immunity component to it. If I vaccinate myself against tracking but you don't, you can infect me anyway.

It's a really shitty thing to do, and the problem we as a society face are people who are unable to abstract the idea into the dangers we can all face and protect ourselves against dangers we can't foresee.

That's what principles are for. We stand on basic principles of privacy and freedom because if we don't we get into a nonlinear mess of unintended and unforseen consequences- and we don't even know it.

Just like the deer that doesn't even know it's being hunted, we are in this game and don't even know what's eventually at stake. So we should stop it now.

I'm ok with banner ads. I'm not ok with tracking.
nailed it. corporations can't handle grassroots change, so the values which promote grassroots change are denigrated even when those same values are enshrined at higher positions.
There's work on multicore doing on right now; IIRC, there was a possibility that it could've shipped in the 2015 December release, but didn't make it. So I think/hope it should be available in the near future.
I really don't give a shit if I'm being paid more than my fellows, hard-working or no. The only thing I care about in my pay level is: am I making enough to support my family in a decent lifestyle? This means I'm comparing against the cost of living, NOT what my coworkers make - I only care about my relative wage insofar as it indicates how most people are getting by.

What I'm more interested in, as a smart person, is that my work is recognized as valuable, given the resources it needs to succeed, encouraged, improved upon, aided.
I remember a few years ago when I moved my Linode from Fremont to Atlanta to avoid the frequent outages. I've never had show-stopping issues with Linode and the customer service has always been fast and responsive. Now though, I'm thinking of moving to their Frankfurt datacenter.

But now I think I need to setup fail-over with another VPS provider. What's a recommended alternative? Is Digital Ocean the next best choice after Linode?
How did you test?

Funny, i also find critical thinking in short supply.
I really like your app, it's nicely designed and works well (a bluetooth-using program that works first time is very rare, IMO :) It also works better than Airdrop, this is the best way I've seen to easily move stuff between my phone and desktop.

Once Android is supported, this might actually become the universal way to share stuff.

Thanks!
> ...without paying the dues, which is what the Brexit camp promised

This assumes the voters are gullible. But what if they are grown-ups who didn't literally believe Johnson, and made a decision based on rational arguments, would you accept it? Examples:

- What if, for example, voters wanted fewer immigration at all costs, and what if their elites refused to give them a referendum on this topic? Then they may decently choose to vote against their elites' interests on the next question they're asked. And boom! there goes Europe. Tough luck, but extremely bad politics too.

- What if rural workers and retired people, who demonstrated 10 years ago against the low benefits and who see violence, alcoholism and drugs raising, what if those people were genuinely getting the short end of the London intelligencia?

In both situations, it ends with "If you break my toys, I'll break yours". If you keep accepting more immigration / not reducing unemployment in countryside England, then we'll break the Europe that makes you so rich.

You know, you evoke crumbling and wars. I know nothing more pushing a country to wreckage than a divide between the rich and the poor. Which may be what happened in England.

If we want peace, it's important to listen to what other people want. I hear people blame the rise of xenophobia all across Europe. Maybe if we stop tagging anyone who suggest fewer immigration as xenophobic, and listen to a quarter of their proposals, then they won't need to vote for the extreme right?
I would prefer the other way around. Everything regarding the state should be open, even how much you pay in taxes.
In that case someone should set out to investigate whether humans are self aware.
Not to be pessimistic, but that was a lot of effort to get what looks like ~25% improvement over just using the CPU. Is this a typical performance profile for doing ray tracing in OpenGL? I expected tens of times faster than a CPU on commodity hardware.
It's easy to say that without looking at the countries we're talking about here. The nordic countries are the closest places on earth to "everyone born equally". We all have access to the same education and healthcare, whether our parents have money or not (since it is fully government-funded through taxes).
google should:

de-index pages that have paywalls

apply penalties to pages that have those annoying 'welcome' screens (forbes.com). The penalty wouln;'t be substantial, but instead would rank the page lower than similar content that does not have annoying welcome screen.

I wonder why not more people own motorcycle or a scooter there. Is this the summer heat or just a cultural thing? Because otherwise it would be very convenient with that traffic and parking situation.
People have a right to privacy, and there's social expectations which ensure that people generally have it. Generally speaking, people don't like it when other people spend huge amounts of effort trying to learn things about them that they would prefer not to share.

It's more-or-less equivalent to if someone spent all their time looking through your trash and monitoring you 24/7 to learn if you're pregnant, what meds you're on, how much money you spend in a week, etc etc.
Why can't they? Canada does.

Yup. I'm sure you're aware of it but as someone who has spent many years cycling around a big city (London), the number one thing for me is to be really careful going up the inside of long vehicles at intersections.

Are vending machines really that analogous?

Vending machines are all about placement & location, and the ability of a vendor to find high traffic locations to put machines.

Machines get placed based on info about locations whether it's demographics, or a kind of business or whatever.

Individual transactions may not have identity tied to them, but it's not like the business is devoid of information about users, or hypotheses about them.

And on the internet... how do you get that info from your users aside from usage analytics (even if it's gross analytics)?
Yup, that's how jobs are made. Make some good cars. Back out of the single market where you can sell them easily. Hope the Japanese will buy more to offset the losses in EU sales.

I don't think the reason more Japanese cars are sold to the UK than vice versa is the single market.
Yes sometimes it's a person literally on the doorstep of the ER in front of the doors. One time a news report said the person was in a passenger seat of a car. But usually right there at the ER in some state of distress.

I can understand some concerns of staff but to flat out refuse seems to go against the ethics of being in the medical trade.

I also suspect it's government bureaucracy and union rules, paperwork trumps life I guess.

Ironically it seems that China is trying to do a little empire-building of its own.

They're still a long-ways away from playing globo-cop, but all that island-building in the South China Sea is pretty telling. They're also doing a lot of infrastructure investment in Africa.
But mrits was talking about heroin dealers.

I think the war on drugs is fundamentally flawed, and I don't think drug users should be convicted or sent to prison but I do think that dealing illegal drugs should definitely count orders of magnitude more heavily since the very activity of dealing enables the destruction of a large number of other people.
The second type is generally better dealt with indirectly so it becomes the first type. Daily stand up taking 1 hour every day. If you say it's a waste of time let's cancel it then people look bad. If you say, we are wasting time let's get faster then management is rarely going to complain.

Do we really need 30 people in this meeting? What if we had someone send out the meeting notes? etc.

>How is that your employer's business?

Exactly. That's why public income info is a bad idea.
In the US there is a not small number of employers who take a very negative view of moonlighting. This is true in every industry, and in knowledge work industries like software it is compounded by a fear of IP theft. So whether it should be their business or not doesn't matter: they'll make it their business.
It doesn't work for me on mobile. I'm not sure why pay walled links continue to be posted to HN. They should be banned.
