> To put things into context, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and the other tech luminaries in their generation would have gone to segregated schools had they been born in the south instead of in California and Washington.

They still probably went to segregated schools. I certainly did, in Chicago, in the 80s. We had one white kid at our school from K - 8th grade. His name was Patrick. His stepfather was black, and his mom had died.
What? Is this for real? Is "Mexican" considered offensive? In what context? Like, there's a Japanese gentleman slacking off and someone says "Oh you're such a Mexican". Or more like people from Colombia and Spain are referred to as Mexicans?

As a Mexican living in Mexico, I found this very interesting.
If your grandkids are less happy because you destroyed the environment in order to increase your happiness is that a negative or a positive in this philosophical framework?
I'm using the same techniques for my apps to enable accessibility access (which is needed for window management), although I'm asking users for confirmation before doing so.

It's kind of hacky, but the standard Apple way (click the tiny lock icon on the bottom left, find the app in the list, click the checkbox) is way to cumbersome for users.

Why not displaying a simple yes/no popup similar to the "allow access to contacts / calendar items" dialog?

>But Git's internals are simpler and the concept is much easier to understand,

I'm only an occasional Git user, but am a heavy Mercurial user.

I have never needed to understand Mercurial's internals.

Are you suggesting a Git user will eventually need to understand it? That's a strike against Git already.

From my observation over the years, people who use Git get "stuck" more often, because they are trying to leverage the extra power Git seems to provide. With Mercurial, you often can do similar powerful stuff, but they make sure you have to go through hoops to do it. As such, unsuspecting non-power users do not shoot themselves in the foot.
>The merchant raises prices to offset the fees, which offset the customers' rewards.

If this were true, why would merchants care about merchant fees?
The accessibility features of the OS are used by Dropbox to implement the Dropbox Badge / Project Harmony feature.
After Rice joined I actually completely stopped using Dropbox, transferred files, and deleted my account.
Perhaps you confused "it feels like" (implying that it feels bloated with many esoteric and/or generally useless features) with the statement "there's literally never been a feature that they've said no to" which is something else entirely and what you seem to be disproving here.
It seems I cannot post a performance comparison without people asking about disk caches. :)

First of all, if I just cloned the repos, they should be in disk cache. My machine has 64GB of RAM.

Second of all, if they're not in disk cache, what on earth is hg doing that it takes 16 seconds to read them all in? Eigen is not that big, and I have a fast SSD.

Third of all, you can run the tests yourself -- I gave you the exact commands to try. "I tried it and my results are X" is a much better contribution to the discussion.

Fourth of all, yes, I ran the benchmarks multiple times in a row to check whether disk cache was at play. It was not. :)

I own a PS4 and a XboxOne.

I understand that you are utterly clueless about about how upscaling in games actually works, what is checkerboard rendering, temporal super resolution, multi-resolution shading/rendering, etc.

What you are talking about is simple pixel doubling / stretching the image I am talking about actual upscaling.

The XboxOne and the PS4 do not support HDMI 2.0 and do not output a 4K signal, a TV can stretch the 1080p signal using pixel doubling but that has nothing to do with the console and it would create pretty terrible aliasing as well as other artifacts.

You may now resume being a clueless condescending troll.
well, that's not what you said. you said "Advancement over Happiness". I think most people would agree with "to be happy, don't struggle for it, just be".

Your original post, the one that seemed satirical to me, sounded like it was endorsing some notion of material accumulation at the expense of human fulfillment.
I wonder what will happen when Apple plugs those security holes. Will Dropbox cease to run as it does now, and suddenly for instance lose important features?
Haha, do you happen to have a social video storage and delivery system in your couch cushions I could borrow?
I don't know why he got down-voted. We do have partisan news outlets that often act as propaganda machines for the party.

Fox for the republicans. CNN for the democrats. Fox Business News oddly enough for the libertarians.

Although, I do say that Fox is by far worse than CNN and this coming from an independent who has voted Republican before. Fox pundits are notorious for bending the truth.
The question is how to obtain happiness, though. Does it necessarily have to entail ruining the environment?

> Seriously? You're so productive that the cost of cloning a repository is a major impediment?

Read the commands more carefully. It is not the cost of cloning the repository, but rather the cost of searching it.
Trivially, in fact, KeePass does a fairly good job of it, mimicing everything down to the actual creation of a second, "secure" desktop. It's arguably more secure, though it's a little bit of a "false security", as KeePass's "Secure Desktop" is not as "secure" as the UAC and similar one, as the UAC one runs as SYSTEM, where as KeePass's runs as the current user.
That reminds of how Windows asks you to press "ctrl+alt+del" before typing your account password in some situations, because other software cannot intercept ctrl+ald+del so you know the login prompt is legit.

They do provide the OS, so they implicitly have access to all your files at a level that dropbox would have a hard time achieving.

You do have a point about giving it administrator privileges, the post however shows very clearly that they are abusing your trust which is enough for people to think twice before using their application..

It's not hard or even unusual to sue a country. Do you have any idea how many lawsuits are currently underway involving the United States of America? It's probably half a million cases.
Of course desire for redistribution is motivated by self-interest! Why should laypeople starve while an ever tinier class of people continues to own and profit from the world? The irony of the "they just want free shit" people is the sad truth that the wealthy are constantly acting out of political self-interest as well, just that their interests are lessening the government's interference with their finances.

The irony I always see in these scenarios is affluent people's short term memory about history - the invading barbarians, the destruction of the aristocrats' temples, the brutal dictatorships that gained hold from popular outrage about the bourgeois. There's an easy way to prevent this kind of thing, and it's by fostering a society where people can't get angry enough (or powerful enough) to do something totally stupid. A second American revolution seems unlikely as of today, but our current political landscape is telling about how royally broken the world is soon to become.
Absolutely incorrect. If it was that easy, things would've changed long back and you would've named more companies than MasterCard / Visa. One simple logical case in point - MasterCard and Visa have such a strong investment in their infrastructure, there are multiple levels of redundancies built in to such a degree that you never hear Mastercard or Visa networks going down. Try doing that for any other firm. Why, just this morning, there was another thread on HN about a game developer suing a service provider for not keeping their systems online. What this enormous investment in infrastructure offers is 'trust'. Trust to financial institutions, merchants and customers. See Dwolla and Rupay as examples of alternative interchanges (Dwolla isn't one, but is trying to disrupt ACH and is similar in spirit). See if they can scale and promise that to the whole world payment traffic. Lastly, talk to anyone entrenched in business about payments and they'll refer to MasterCard and Visa as 'rails'. That's for a reason.
Typically debit cards are run as credit when used online, so it's effectively a Mastercard or Visa with different payment terms on the back end. You should have all the same rights and features as any other Mastercard or Visa for those purchases.

I agree with the other fellow that you should avoid using them, though. You may have the same rights, but the potential consequences are different. A credit card which you pay off each month provides the same basic functionality but with more safety. Plus you get to make 0.01% of interest off the float.
> There is free competition between social networking sites

In theory, yes. In practice, absolutely not.
But again, why bother talking about the south at all?

We are now far afield, and I'll stop arguing the point after this, but the topic is about Mexico, which then led to a discussion about "political correctness", and then the post in question which tried to say the reason Americans have issues with race are...only southern examples specifically cast against Western states.

Those same Western states have issues with racism; they would be just as effective to cite.
I think it would be unions doing the suing.
These should definitely be opt-in, however (I don't use the badge), and I would definitely argue that the way they get on the accessibility list is deceptive at best.
Or just don't buy Dell. Why should I have to examine every supplier's fine print to figure out whether I need to go through a reseller?
For the purpose of a discussion about diversity, I think the more important measure is how they identify themselves culturally. Being able to genetically trace your roots to the mayflower but being raised steeped in Mexican (to avoid the term in question) culture (for example, adopted) would still yield more diversity, by the definition we are usually using when referring to national diversity (which I think is generally interpreted as cultural diversity of a nation).

True, mixed the names. Indochina was Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, etc, which the French coming out of WWII tried to keep, but ended up passing control over these to the US to fight the "good fight".

The Korean war was another Cold War play-field in Asia the coincided and happened to draw, among other US and "UN" forces, the French, who couldn't be bothered to fight Hitler in their own turf, but wanted suddenly to help fight communists 10.000 miles from their borders.
Yeap.

My experiences have been pretty positive in that I was able to avoid jail time or anything going on my record that I would have to explain to a potential employer.

For the minor stuff I've been to court on that I handled myself, I've always gone in a suit and tie and been very respectful to the DA. Both times, he basically put me on probation and then told me to get out of his court.

The other times I've been to court and required an attorney, I took the financial hit in order to avoid having to go through the system. Again, every time I was able to get out unscathed. I had decent attorneys that were able to make deals with the DA's for reduced sentencing, longer probation, etc. Everything was usually done before I actually had to appear in court.

So shy of being incarcerated and having to go through the system (arrest, posting bail, court appearance, and having to serve jail time) I've had fairly positive experiences.

> Let another country like South Korea take the lead (and support them of course)

I'd say South Korea and China. Tell them to figure out, between them, what they think the world's strategy on North Korea should be. (China has a lot of potential harm from North Korea falling apart or going to war.) Tell them if they agree on how to approach NK, the US will back them (presuming we think their approach to at least be sane), including with force if needed.

That would make it South Korea and China's problem (which it really is, much more than the US's problem, despite NK continuing to utter threats at the US). And it removes "US vs. China" as one of the problems that makes the NK situation so intractable.
Oh, yeah I didn't mean it to sound that way. In that context I'd say that I believe that moving humanity forward provides more fulfillment than just being happy.
How I2P Works
Small companies don't have this kind of problem. Even if they place everybody on the same room, it's still a team's room, not an open floor.

Big companies do not care about productivity. They care about maximizing the bonus and curriculum of their executives.

There is some middle way of companies small enough to care about productivity, but big enough to have problems with an open floor. That middle is a bit hard to find, because often the preferences change the other way around, and they stop caring about productivity before they get that big. But it exists, and you may be able to convince somebody in there.
Most of it, yes, but the British had their own hands there too. After the French left though, it was the US who pursued their "strategic interests" in the area.
it was unthinkable in the original Aristotelean framework. They had no notion of being capable of destroying the environment in the way that we can now.
Totally depends on the situation, but it's uncommon for nuke to be easier and more effective than fixing things using a rebase. Specifically, all of the examples in the blog post are easier to solve with the right git command than they are with a nuke & re-clone.

There's a class of bad situations that nuke will make worse and not better. Any time you have un-pushed work, you're better off figuring out how to restore it with proper git commands than by nuking your repo. Dropped stashes or screwed up merges or rebase mistakes are all things that take some unavoidable time to learn how to fix.

socioeconomic status is defacto racial discrimination because of the correlation between status and race.

If you're "playing the odds" by using race as a proxy for socioeconomic status, then this is wrong. It's also a pretty poor proxy, in my experience. What about our judgements about people's judgements? (Meta-judgements.) If you're equating making a factual determination about socioeconomic status with racial discrimination, then you are using the same sort of statistical proxy you're arguing against!

And even if there were no correlation between socioeconomic status and race, it still seems wrong to discriminate against a poor person even if, on average, poor people cause more problems for the landlord.

Really, socioeconomic status is a proxy for behavior and ability to pay. Because of its rating system, AirBnB can function as a meritocracy. The fact that it has an effective rating system is a competitive advantage. Provided they are not absolutely locked out, it seems feasible for a poor person to earn a good rating in such a meritocratic system.

If AirBnB wants to further social justice, then it should make the meritocracy of the ratings fairer, instead of denying its utility to hosts. The former increases justice. The latter is using market power to force hosts into behaving how you want. You don't win hearts and minds by forcing people to do things. You win them by facilitating their voluntary transactions with all different kinds of people. (I've seen this first hand. I saw one of my classmates go from being a homophobe to being the best friend of a gay activist, by bonding over soap operas.)

They're not considered white by the locals until they lose their accent. White is what you're considered by the relevant whites under discussion, not a meaningful physical category. Mediterranean-bordering, Irish, and Slavic people have just gotten to be white in the US fairly recently.
Some diversity advocates forget, so other diversity advocates point it out to them. Don't paint this as diversity advocates being the bad guys somehow.
Ok, this was pretty amazing to watch. I found both the experimental setup and the results pretty useful. I look forward to the paper on the DNA sequences they are doing at the different stages of resistance.
Upsetting a business customer by not refunding a $500 purchase isn't worth it. I had a longer comment attempting to rationalize this policy, but deleted it and gave up because there's just no way this is good for business.
I agree. A lot of that comes from the fact that Mercurial's UI is basically "SVN, but as a DVCS", and I like that. I still use Mercurial for my personal projects (using my Linode to push backups to).

Then again, I'm also of the heretical position that if you don't need the distributed parts of a DVCS, you should use SVN.
This describes me perfectly as well. I have very little need for social interaction. But I'm usually one of the most talkative people in a room.

I remember seeing many posts of /r/introvert who were just people complaining about introverts and introversion in general.

I also remember some school director warning me about my behavior and telling me that humans are a social species.

The Susan McCain book really opened my eyes, in the end, to me it really seems to be a matter of values.

It's crazy because this issue makes me pretty angry. I failed 2 degrees because the score coefficients in teamwork projects were pretty high, not to mention being targeted and harassed in school because you're calm and silent most of the time.

Basically we moved from recognizing that race and gender are bad biases, but we have new ones now.
Not the OP but:

A corporation crosses the line when it has a single person who is protected from the legal actions of the corporation by statue (i.e., a shareholder). At this point the quasi-libertarian theory of a corporation as "just a bunch of guys" completely breaks down as there is a special legal protection for shareholders.

A corporation isn't a partnership. A partnership is just a group of people who have agreed to do business together. All of them are jointly legally liable for the criminal actions and liabilities of the corporation.

A corporation, on the other hand, has legal protection for shareholders. A VC can bankroll eMurder.com and the VC isn't liable when the officers of the corporation go on a shooting spree. The options are : Investors get no special legal protection, and creditors and the law can pursue them and their personal assets for the liabilities and crimes of the corporation OR a corporation really is a special instrument of the State, and only has particular standing because we as a society believe the corporate veil provides social benefits.
