He is also factually wrong in what he writes, regarding Neuromancer and using phone cables to jack in. Then he goes on a tirade about obsolete tech.

> In Austria, you don't need any capital at all, to start a EPU (One-Person-Company) which is really convenient.

You can do that in any country. Austria sucks donkeyballs for staring an actual company however. You need 35.000 in capital and you need to involve a notary. The additional cost for actually getting the company in place is a few thousand euro, you need to listen to the notary read down the contract you made yourself and then you are subject to all sorts of utterly bizarre rules and regulations such as publishing your yearly report in a specific newspaper which charges you an arm and a leg for this privilege.

Can we please fix this?
Yes, exactly, this is targeting peak memory consumption, but doesn't mention anything about average memory consumption (which is probably what you would care about for your electron app).
In fact, the lack of replaceable batteries is now becoming a consumer safety issue. Every city has a bomb squad who can isolate and destroy potentially explosive materials. This type of issue can be sorted out much more quickly, and much more safely, by having people turn in flawed lithium batteries to the local bomb squad.

Further, if the batteries were standard sizes then there would likely be replacement batteries readily available with a lower mAh rating that would work just fine, although with a lower lifetime.

In addition, if the batteries were standard sizes and replaceable, we could have a deposit on batteries of a few dollars. If you no longer need it, either turn it or hand it to the next street beggar that you see. Problem solved safely and quickly.
Very little known but quite amazing, I’ll point out a tool, as it solves quite a few of the pain points mentioned here. It’s integrated but you can choose what tools to use on a per project basis with a local admin, no need to have a central imposed workflow.

You can choose, per project, which version control to use, GIT, SVN. Which project management method SCRUM, KANBAN, hybrid or waterfall, which code review system, pull requests (in a month) or GERRIT (now).

You can track trace and link pretty much anything in whichever way you want with very flexible trackers. Issue tracking, document versioning, comments you name it, It has templates to get a team started quickly and can be easily adapted later.

It’s proven scalable and fast as it’s already used by companies with more than 17 000 users with a single instance. All is not shiny but it's actively developed with monthly releases.

It’s 100% libre and opensource software with the advantage of having a company fully dedicated to developing it.

If you are wondering what tool I am talking about it’s called Tuleap and you can test it in several ways or install it. If you do, any feedback is welcome. You will find it at https://www.tuleap.org

who wants

-- Erich Fried, "Status Quo"
I've been studying the period (mostly the Industrial Revolution and onward, though the accelleration of the late 19th / early 20th century is staggering), and it's pretty phenomenal.

There was a lot going on. Germ theory, of course, was part of it. But public health measures, especially sewerage systems, clean drinking water, and municipal waste removal, were all massive contributors. Note that the decline in mortality occurs well in advance of antibiotics and even most vaccinations.

For all the recent debate on vaccinations, it's interesting to note that the peak period of their impace (roughly 1930 - 1960) saw relatively little reduction in mortality, though there was a large decrease in disease incidence. It turns out that with septic control, antibiotics, food quality, and nutrition, many viral diseases weren't killers, but did present quality-of-life issues. And yes, often quite severe -- polio was no joke, and I know people who've suffered lameness from it myself. Measles and smallpox are similarly scarring and have long-term impacts.

But the major impacts of virtually all medicine are front-loaded to the period before 1950, with much the gains since attributable to either greater access (especially for the disadvantaged) and removal of environmental agonists (lead, tobacco, alcohol, asbestos, miscellaneous poisons, safety hazards).
Yes I (and probably the parent) mean mandatory state-controlled taxation. Yes we support measurably reducing both of our incomes so neither of us get robbed. And yes I support doing so against your wishes if a majority of society votes for it.

If you object to that, please make that argument instead of just asking rhetorical questions.
That "sexy librarian" line jumped out at me as well. There seems to be an over arching quality of smugness to the author's writing style that doesn't really fit with the subject matter as a whole for me.

There is a difference between having all my files and being able to access all my files via a client.

1) My files are not on their service and thus not available at their discretion; they would first have to be uploaded.

2) With that logic all applications "have" all my files, but you bet I'd find it weird if I caught Libreoffice uploading files of interest to a service of theirs.

That said, I do see your point. Most desktop applications (as opposed to mobile apps) are capable of a lot more than they need to, and even many popular mobile apps are. I just wouldn't say I implicitly trust them with all of my files.

Some people like to say things like that, but it's more accurate to say "this proves our current model is consistent with data".

I'm sure there are still plenty of ways in which these sims do not match our actual universe.

I'm actually someone who was an introvert, who has spent the time developing my ability to connect and relate to other people by fostering a larger range of interests and socializing with people more.

You're going to "no true introvert" me and tell me I was an extrovert in sheep's clothing all along but again:
these labels are meaningless, and used as a crutch by people who want to justify their reclusiveness.

You're mistaking extroversion for narcissism. Obviously having social awareness and self awareness are healthy and necessary to having meaningful, reciprocal relationships.
I didn't acknowledge your criticism of the source because it doesn't seem to reflect a look at the paper, let alone an earnest analysis of it. The response rate for the survey was explicitly stated as 20%, well in line with expected response rates for these sort of external surveys. Your figure of 7% seems to be invented whole cloth.

That, along with your characterization of my response as a "rhetorical strategy", makes it quite clear you don't have any interest in engaging in the topic critically.

To anyone reading, I encourage you to open the study, Ctrl-F for tptacek's "7%". Confirm for yourself whether or not he's being honest, and consider what that implies about our respective positions.
Let your factory sit partly idle sometimes and you increase the capital cost per unit of production.

If wind/solar depends on this sort of thing, then basically it's imposing an externality on factories, and we should account for that as part of their cost.

I'm all for preventing global warming, I just want to do it in the way that's most cost-effective for society as a whole, and that probably means including nuclear as part of the solution so we don't have to shut down factories when the wind doesn't blow at night.

> What nefarious and yet undiscovered things

If they're undiscovered, how am I supposed to list them?

As far as discovered things, the permission allows Dropbox to sniff the keyboard and interact with any other application as the user. Add that to unrestricted filesystem access, and the right question to ask is what nefarious things Dropbox can't do.
Yes. Did I say it was impossible to figure out?

I thought I was just saying not everyone tries to figure it out before ordering.
Oh, yes. Yes indeed. Escolar is quite tasty - I've had it deliberately - but the gastrointestinal side effects can be very nasty. You don't want to go there when you think you're just eating tuna. This is a very underhanded substitution for a supplier or restaurant to make.

> There are places for permissive FOSS licenses, weak copyleft and strong copyleft. If you don't agree with that (and even the FSF does!), then no matter what, any discussion or debate is moot.

The two examples the FSF agrees with:

1. Base reference implementations of open standards.
2. Small snippets of code (smaller than 300 lines).

AOO is neither of these. Yes, I agree that permissive licenses have a use, but saying that "this $largeproject is under a permissive license!" as a positive thing doesn't sit right with me". It's like saying in a work report "amazing! we haven't had any murders in the office in the past 3 weeks." It's a correct statement, but the implication is that permissively licensing it has a benefit _for users_. This is simply untrue, as AOO is neither a base implementation of a standard nor is it a small piece of software.

>It has to sit within the company.

I don't think this is true. If you buy an ice sculpture for the office lobby, it's totally tax deductible (it's a business expense), but you can use money for whatever you want if you take it out of the bank as a "distribution" instead of a "paycheck." In that situation, you still pay income tax on the money, but not the other taxes.
I'm cautiously optimistic that things are going to change. The bureaucracy is efficient, no doubt there. However some of it just has no reason to exist and we all would be better off by getting rid of it.

That's interesting. I wasn't aware that cases in the jurisdiction of a lower court could "skip" the lower court.

And it appears I misread your earlier point. You were talking about the lower court "predicting" the higher court, and not deciding on the same cases. My point was that cases that go to multiple courts are the ones that are hard to decide, but it's moot.

A story with an interesting submission history on HN.

Submitted 7 hours ago[0], no upvotes, no comments. Before that it was submitted 12 hours ago[1]. That submission got 98 points and extensive discussion - 82 comments.

Twenty hours ago it was submitted[2], but that sank without trace or comment, and with just a single upvote.

The first submission I could find was a day ago[3]. That got no upvotes, and attracted a single comment which pointed to a different source of the story which, somewhat ironically, remains as yet unsubmitted to HN.

How can our government be failing us so miserably? Ensuring that our food is safe and properly labeled should be the most basic duties of a government. And yet they are failing us miserably. In April of 2011, a paper was published showing that 69% of store-bought olive oil was fake,[1] and yet the government has done practically nothing to protect us.

In 2013, there was the Salmonella Heidelberg outbreak causing deadly brain absences in children and making hundreds sick. But nothing was done for over a year.[2] Instead of fixing the problems here, the government reacts by allowing China to process our chicken making the problem that much harder trace.[3]

We’ve let Industry and lobbyists take our democracy from us with their super pacs and regulatory capture. When are people going to get fed up with this and demand that our government starts protecting us instead of the industry?

What's the opposite of 'drawing from incomplete evidence'?

I hate the power Facebook as a behemoth and a monolith holds and abuses. But when accusing, we should be fair. The statements cited as evidence are from a publication, not an offhand comment by a random person on Facebook with no regard to correctness or clarity. And even in that, there isn't clarity for what was being accused.

So, if pointing out a lack of clarity in an accusation is called nitpicking, so be it.
