It's supposed to work because Keene's models suggest it would work: the failure in the economy is not one of underproduction (we have dramatic overcapacity and, if anything, overproduction) but rather a lack of monetary power in the broader consumers hands, caused by the burden of private debt.

It's unorthodox, but I buy it. Or, at least, I'd rather try his solution than keep trying the failed policies of both the orthodox and keynesians.
Or, on a larger scale, Hillsborough and Orgreave.

In core this is true. In your own tap you can vendor your dependencies however you want.
If enough of them are in a given prison they can form a gang to protect themselves.
I think kids too, aren't tired: I've probably tried >50 messaging systems, from irc to aim to msn messenger to hangouts. After a while, you just get tired of trying rehashes of the same thing, and want one that communicates with everyone. We had things like Pigeon, but companies keep closing off their systems to force you to have one app/program per system.

Eventually you get tired of trying new ones, and just go back to the reliable ones that work with everybody.
Straight lemon juice in those quantities is actually bad for the teeth. As in, my sister used to eat lemons like oranges and quit because of that.

The most apt comparison with lemon juice to coke would be lemonade, though. And some folks do drink quite a bit of that.
If you're disabled or kid, just pour that stuff to glass.

Sip is not in any way definite measurement. Sheet of paper is somewhat decent.

Better one would be this: buy a car. It will automatically stop ignition after 100 000km. Do you really have problem with that, if you know it beforehand?
Current historians understand the past by, among many other things, reading old preserved documents including old news. Future historians are going to be real irritated if we get in the habit of purging "expired" news. Well maybe not, maybe if we purge it completely enough we won't even have historians in the future :-)

A legitimately good part of Facebook is the community driven support groups and swap groups. My wife and I also cloth diapered, we picked up almost all of them through local swap groups and some through ebay. When our son grew out of things we posted these things back to these support groups. My wife organized around 10-15 meetups at a nearby park and made back ~US$300. I think the largest item sold was his infant car seat and stroller combo that went for $65 or $75.

So yea, both coming and going, these local groups were troves of good cheap items.
Better, Faster, More Comprehensive Manure Distribution
We should try giving useful items to welfare recipients instead of just money. It would be a great way to insure that the support was going to the right things. Why not give kids a back to school kit? This could be huge for kids in situations where no one will buy them the things they need for school. This happens a lot more than most people know.
Extending functionality with third party sandboxed apps, without any @something hoopla to call a pseudo-intelligent assistant, is much more secure and even more functional in my opinion. (i.e. iMessage).
> Unless someone has (1) identified a mass need exactly the same as yours, and (2) made an app that does exactly that you are out of luck.

So true. And even if there was the need, and the app was made, you would never be able to find it in the app store without knowing it's exact name.
Ah, I misread. Apologies.

I just do this for now:

cat <(echo brew install) <(brew list) | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' > brew_install.txt

It lists directly from brew, prepends brew install and then replaces all newlines with a space and outputs to brew_install.txt
Compare the audio to the chopper video in the one below then tell me that. Warning: graphic.

They also have a trend of faking entire conversations to make it seem like suspect is resisting enough to deserve a beating. I had, but lost, a bookmark where police submitted audio to court, defense requested video, and it showed non-resisting black guy being jerked through a window and beat by the cops who were faking fight commentary. Here's a recent one that's just verbal testimony:

Thanks, that's clearer to me now.

When marketers collect my personal info, it's far more likely to be distributed widely so I place a greater emphasis on protecting it from them. I don't like the fact that nation-states are spying on the citizenry, but I don't know what I can do about that. I DO know what to do about the surveillance capitalists.

From a business point of view, that's an important goal. The more a user depends on your product, the more you stay in business. And the goal of a business is to survive indefinitely.

But from a human perspective, I'd argue it's completely unethical. As a business, your goal isn't merely to encourage potential customers to choose your brand over another. It's also to get them to buy it even if they don't want it. And it's to get them hooked so they come back and buy more.

Now, what if your product is vodka? Your job suddenly became to make as many high-functioning alcoholics out of customers as possible (high-functioning so that they can continue to buy).

This may be a stretch from a mobile game or social media platform, but not much. They both have negative effects with real impacts on the health and happiness and sometimes even safety of the consumers.
I find that white noise helps as long as I'm not in hyper-vigilance mode, because if I am, the white noise is something thats keeping me from hearing an enemy, which drives me insane (like when someone is snoring too loud, or the AC is squeaky )... so it works great lots of the time. (Classical music, newagey music, movie soundtracks, ancient music (greek/roman) and thunderstorms and a little bit of delta wave stuff are my go-tos.)
The BBC did a follow up article on this recently: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35834370

At 2.15 in the video the cops realize that camera was on during their discussion. Why did they not confiscate the tape?
Every charge ever laid by these three officers now needs to be reevaluated, with the benefit of the doubt given to the defendants. This could cost millions of taxpayer dollars, as well as have guilty people go free because of the doubt thrown on the process.

I don't understand how other officers could ever defend colleagues who do this type of activity. It's so anti-justice it should make them crawl in their skin.
I would say you would have been correct several years ago but there are many social dynamics going on these days.

For one the baby boomers (parents of soon to be parents) have large financial burdens themselves. They may want to help but lack the funds to do so and/or time (because they haven't retired yet themselves and might even be taking care of their parents).

Second people are having kids much later. I am 35 almost 36 and most of my friends and family are now geographically disparate.

Combined with above and the modern-busy-self-consumed-technology era we live in you seriously cannot rely on anyone organizing an event for you.

I don't blame this on my friends and family. It is just a reality.

Furthermore the expectation and cost to host an event has become far greater over the years.
As someone who supports all business large and small, the #1 thing the government needs to do is get everyone taxed at the same rate. Large companies who can play games with taxes, moving profits offshore, loopholes, etc. wind up with 0 to 20% corporate tax rate while small businesses who can't afford to figure that out pay full freight of 35%. I don't know what the solution is, but until this is figured out, an enormous subsidy and competitive advantage is given to big business which small businesses cannot possibly match.
No, because:

I really disliked their diet flavors, and most of the non-diet ones. I managed to find a great rootbeer syrup from someone else, but it still had sugar.

Now, I usually either go for an energy drink syrup if I want caffeine (Mio or Power Ade have some good ones) or Koolaid liquid for no-sugar no-caffeine. I make them much stronger than my wife likes, but that's just another feature... You can customize the taste a lot.

Losing your favorite flavors sucks, but the silver lining is that it pushed me to look for other flavors, and I definitely found some that I liked.
If we use the global pepper for hashing, we can’t easily rotate it.

> we should fight together for more privacy

It needs to be established as a human right.

I'm personally very disappointed to see the how good intentions of the aware subset of the citizenry are consistently channeled towards technical solutions to a problem that is fundamentally political.

At a meta-level, we saw the same (useless) dissipation of energies in the Occupy-x movement. And it should also be pointed out that the subtext of such approaches is de facto deligitimization of legal governance of societies and (speaking of "kings") establishing corporations as the arbitrators of social norms.

Get congress to pass a comprehensive privacy act and "Alphabets" (of the corporate and governmental variety) will have to toe the law of the land.

That makes no sense.

Wouldn't they sleep there if the box was given out without a visit to the doctor?
>Any system will be abused. You balance the risk of that abuse against the downside of letting criminals do what they want.

That's not abuse. It's systemic -- the police system works as people in power (governments, private interests, rich lobbies) intend it to when that happens.

Other stuff, that they don't allow, doesn't not happen, or is seriously stomped down when it does -- not just as a slap on the wrist.
The fact that analytics are opt-out, not opt-in is my biggest beef with brew.
>> Researchers teleport particle of light six kilometres

I'm sure they did nothing of the sort. At best they transferred an unknown state of a photon to another photon six kilometers away, then confirmed via measuring both.
Exactly.

Disney has Miramax for films that don't fit under the Disney brand.

Toyota has the Scion brand for quirky, weird car designs.

Google could have a brand for experimental apps that they're not sure about.
But their wording is quite wrong, "The police cannot grab people’s property and confiscate it on a whim." The police can and do grab people's property and confiscate it on a whim. Well, I suppose it's not on a whim since there's a purpose behind it. If the ACLU wants to say the police should not be able to do it because of the fourth amendment, then I would agree. You cannot say something can't be done when it's currently being done as part of policy.

Civil forfeiture doesn't have to be ruled legal. If it is the law it is legal until the law is struck down by the courts.

But I understand your point the ACLU wouldn't want to admit to that, but that doesn't excuse obviously incorrect wording of their legal claims in this case.
I think the "right to be forgotten" should be replaced with the "right to not have old information considered", which is a much better compromise between the public interest and privacy. In your example, a person false accused of a crime wouldn't have the record expunged, but the record would be heavily tagged with notices that it was a false accusation, and it would be illegal to use that information in considering him for a job and it would be a severe breach of social norms to use that information turn him down for a relationship.

In other news, words can mean more than one thing.
I think you can build a better case for police buying, or offering to sell, drugs in order to catch criminals than this. Cocaine that isn't actually insufflated doesn't harm anyone. The FBI distributed images of child abuse which are illegal to own or distribute because, so the theory goes, the child is further abused every time someone new sees it. Therefore the FBI was complicit in further abuse of those children. Whether or not LEOs are allowed to commit crimes as part of an investigation, that crosses a serious ethical line. We wouldn't tolerate cops posing as hitmen and committing actual murder to keep the ruse up. Why should we tolerate this?
I do love the style of that review - you don't find reviews like that nowadays. Pity about all the spelling mistakes in the digital edition though.
right, so there's many roads to perdition. what style of government is best equipped to avoid these types of problems? Is it democracy? Possibly so. Paraphrasing Churchill "the worst form of government except for all the other ones that have been tried".

All of those other systems I've mentioned also have high functioning, efficient, non-corrupt versions of them as well. Look at Singapore for an example of a high competence, low corruption form of Authoritarian government.

So I'll just say it one more time. Communism is orthogonal to competence/corruption of government. The fact that so many people implicitly believe they're linked is evidence of the century long propaganda campaign against anything socialist that has been waged by the powers-that-be in the capitalist system.
>Also, with the growing trend of 'cord-cutting' i think more and more people are hooking their laptops up to their TVs and watching netflix and youtube that way. Though the trend in that space seems to be pointing more toward curated ecosystems like roku, apple tv, etc.

I have been doing this for some time now. My laptop hooked up to my TV serves me for gaming (helps that a lot of PC games support controllers now), consuming content and music all without being crippled by consumer hardware restrictions.
In a spurt of dissatisfaction with Apple, I tried a few years ago to buy a PC, and bought a Lenovo precisely because I'd heard such good things about their build quality. My monitor had a prominent dead pixel and my spacebar didn't work, so my impression wasn't positive, but I thought that it was just bad luck.

Has the community perception of Lenovo's build quality changed, or did I just get the wrong idea in the first place?
The title of the article, while probably not intentional clickbait, is incorrect. Only the quantum state of the photon was "teleported", not the photon itself. The original photon was in fact destroyed, and only the information about its state was transmitted.
So basically make this information only available to the privileged?
So...make them available only at certain hours and only over a 56k modem?
>How about that?

They're still using force where appropriate...

In any case I misinterpreted the parent comment, so the discussion is moot.
We were in the process of weaning the first one when the second one was conceived.

Its what I recommend to everyone...! No shortcuts you need to read, read, read..
Signal is pseudo-open-source but will not allow you to use it except via the closed-source google play services, so I still wouldn't have confidence in it.
I'd be interested to hear everyone's strategies to combat this, as I assume many of us that work in the industry encounter similar problems of distraction and inundation.

First, I don't use any devices directly after waking up. I meditate for about 20 minutes upon waking and then try to read fiction for 40 minutes. So, all in, somewhere around an hour of no device distractions before starting my day.

Slack is one of the biggest interrupting factors while coding these days, more so than IRC ever was for me, so I try to have chunks of time during the day with it closed. This is something I've struggled with recently as co-workers always expect to be able to get in touch, but often I really need 30-60 minutes of uninterrupted focus for real tasks.

For personal things, I deleted Facebook and feel quite a bit better. I still scroll Instagram too much. I deleted the Twitter app from my phone and will only check it from time to time on the web. I try to turn on Do Not Disturb mode in the evenings, but it's hard when you have systems that potentially could go down and things could get escalated to you.

On top of that I try to take psychedelics a few times per year, not in any type of party settings, but with people that are close to me. Screens tend to turn up this feeling of disgust when I look at them in that state, so I automatically disengage with them. I find that for at least a short while after the trip my usage of distracting Internet things goes down a lot as well.

Interested to hear other strategies!
Well, since you're asking for anecdotal evidence...

Teleportation is not possible. Quantum teleportation is the transmission of the exact state of a photon from one place to another. Still, even this happens at less than the speed of light. Otherwise it would violate causality.

The media plays fast and loose with terminology either out of plain ignorance or the desire to sell a story.
True, but that doesn't mean you can use words that fundamentally change the meaning of the sentence and then pass it off as the same thing.
Counter View. I don't expect this to sit well with HN. Is everything to be a sentence for life? I, and the law in many places, don't think that's fair.

Whilst I don't think 2.5 yrs is the right balance, I do think much reporting should expire to an archive. If a restaurant did something wrong 10 years ago, but clean since (that's in the context of the UK with regular, visible, standards checks), who cares about the old offence? If they're still doing wrong they would probably have other, non-expired, offences in the last 10 years.

Here in Europe we have the concept of rehabilitation of offenders. Whilst the UK has a poor reputation for reform (we go for a more US lock 'em up approach), and Gove leaving Justice looks to have put paid to reform for another decade, we have the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act since early 70s. After a varying period past record is considered spent - 2 yrs prison or more is never spent, the rest expire after a period depending on sentence. Fines expire after 7 years I think.

So the stupidity your child gets into at 18, whilst out drinking, doesn't pop up in searches when 30 and applying for jobs. Legally you don't need to mention it again apart from some exceptions like applying to be a judge or joining police.

The internet is starting to make a mockery of that reasonable intent. The law thinks you can become clean, you have been legally for 15 years, but your potential employer finds a BBC page from 1998, and decides to not extend the offer. That's not reasonable either.

Perhaps news should archive in step with laws such as that. Trivia and public order offences expire quickly, 10 year sentences never. Somehow make it a bit less available behind a paywall, or some credentials. I'm talking of intent not practicality. I realise a mirror elsewhere would render that void.

In the 80s and 90s it was only the exceptional who got background searches. Manually by searching through archives. Reporters would dig into some suspect politician only when it was something major. That's also the wrong balance and meant many things that should have been known in the public interest didn't come to light simply because it was difficult to check.
Assume their salt+hash database leaks. It's true that salting the passwords and using bcrypt would prevent mass cracking of the database (i.e. you would have to crack each password individually, not the entire database at once), it would still be feasible to crack a single user's password if it was weak enough (which would be worth it, if the user is, say, president@whitehose.gov).

Using pepper prevents that from happening, and storing it separately from your database makes it much harder to get both.
