So you say, if they behave like cattle, I shall behave like the wolf. Fair enough, there may be some justice in that, but the predator behaviour is the one that brough us where we are in the first place. It's true that it' also the one that gave us our intelligence.

The thing is that one may expect that intelligence would change things, but apparently it doesn't. It's just another tool on the predator's toolbelt. But somehow I just can't settle with this, it seams there should be a middle way..

There are a lot of (justified) comments on that answer. A crucial point of quantum uncertainty is that it's different from classical intuition. Particles behave like waves (e.g. cause interference with themselves) until observed. That doesn't happen with the glove.

Just because the chassis is different doesn't mean the rest of the system gets thrown out the window (significantly changed, perhaps, but I spect there's a lot of knowledge that's still in play).
Actually, I'd say a random HN commenter is extremely likely to be targeted for surveillance and exploitation compared to general population at least. Not because they personally are important, but because of their jobs. So many administrators, programmers, etc. with access to relevant data.
Places like Dubai and Middle East could possibly land that sort of salary. In the UK, it's highly unlikely, only if you work for a giant corp and are seriously valuable to them could you get close to that figure. You'll probably end up having to step into a CTO type role though.

KR almost certainly would
not have come to power

Whatever one thinks of the Viet Nam war, and there are many valid criticisms of the conduct of the western armies and their leadership, it is worthwhile to bear in mind that the West fought there to prevent communist organisations like the KR to come to power.

The KR would certainly not have	come to power if not

1. The French communist party had radicalised Pol Pot.

2. The Soviet and Yugoslav communist parties had	further	schooled Pol
Pot in how to overthrow a regime.

3. The Soviet, Chinese and North	Vietnamese communist parties had
supported the KR with weapons and other forms of logistics with the
explicit aim of instituting a communist regime in Cambodia.

You wrote this in English? What kind of comment-writer are you? English has so many spelling inconsistencies and homonyms it's a wonder that anyone can understand anyone else. Everyone knows that real authors write in Spanish. Neruda, Borges, Márquez. Spanish's clear pronunciation rules, elegant conjugations, and separation of mutable state (`estar`) from immutable state (`ser`) ensure you'll never run into any dangerous misunderstandings. Consider this sentence:

"¡Hola, mundo!"

Note that the sentence is one character shorter than the corresponding phrase in english (`"Hello, world!"`) - this kind of efficiency is quite common when you write in Spanish. Also note that the extra space won by removing a character was then used to add a pre-exclamation flag (`¡`). This flag is a neat optimization to ensure that the interpreter knows to prepare for an exclamation ahead of time.

Better interpretation, pronunciation, efficiency. Why are you not writing Spanish today?

Writing your own toy operating system: awesome guides and tutorials for hobbyists
Here's what I want in my ideal personal code environment.

1. Literate programming

I want to be able to write methods/functions in something like a Jupyter notebook, with text and section headings. This is a great way to both comment the code and to organize to-do lists. I want the text in these documents to have weak ties to the actual code (e.g. have method renaming apply to the text as well.) I should be able to toggle between "plain code" and "Jupyter style" views.

2. Ability to share modules across projects

Did I write some code to make state machines for project A? I should not have to copy paste it to get state machines into project B, I should be able to share the code between them. Something like Visual Studio's shared projects, but less wonky.

3. Audio recording

I suck at writing notes to myself, especially in exploratory code. However, I sometimes find myself thinking out loud. Why not allow recording of the thinking out loud, so I can hear what I was thinking later.

Thankfully, I don't have any urge to pick off the hair on my head. It's just facial hair. I do shave from time to time, but the shave isn't close enough. In fact newly shaved hairs are the most satisfying to pull out. I might have to go back and try razors again. I stopped using them because I could never get a good close shave and I figured if I can't get a good shave I might as well have the convenience of an electric shaver.

The legal expiry timer starts at date of sentence.

A John Smith might end up locally famous for a while, regret those Tequila shots leading to nude in the town square, damaging a statue, and a £500 fine. Some years after the magistrate passes sentence it ceases to exist and he's not obliged to tell. If you get three years for something more serious it never expires. If you're John Smith you're in luck having a common name, but if you have a rare name...

In former years the reporting is in some dusty library or newspaper microfiche archive forgotten until he runs for Prime Minister perhaps.

There's lots of cases where an innocent accused, or sometimes even the victim, can suffer significant reputational damage from a widely reported case. The adversarial system, and occasional trials by media, seems to encourage that.

I don't think having older, expired, reports of more minor offences moved to archive that charges to search, or requires you to have journalism ID or something leads to dumbification of anything. It shouldn't cease to exist, just become far less trivial to get at. More an attempt to restore balance, regardless of practicality.

A bad debt, even a lot of bad debt, expires in 5 or 6 years from your credit report, but a minor offence 20 years ago doesn't?
I have bought a new battery twice, and the last one I have lasts about 1.5 day or so and I bought it maybe a year ago. I am not a heavy user but you can still find the battery on the market - the one I have was made by "Cameron Sino", model CS-HDE160SL, it's Lion battery with 1150 mAh (as they claim). I bought the G1 pretty late, I think two years after it was introduced, so I have it maybe 8 years now?

It scales very far. We've conducted benchmarks lately that showed that a single deepstream on an AWS t2.medium instance can comfortably handle 160.000~200.000 messages a second and a cluster of six ~ 4 Billion an hour. Please find the detailed results here

For your chat though you need to consider whether your messages will be persistent and mutable (changeable after they've been posted) or are just one-off messages. In the first case using a list (https://deepstream.io/tutorials/core/datasync-lists/) with references to records (https://deepstream.io/tutorials/core/datasync-records/) is the way to go, in the second case pub/sub (https://deepstream.io/tutorials/core/pubsub-events/) might be better

Good god man. You asked that question? Movies rip-off books, books rip off real life, tv rips off movies. Format doesn't stop one from appropriating material.

Just google Fight Club and Mr. Robot. There are plenty of interviews with the creator of Mr. Robot where he explicitly discusses the Fight Club connection. Straight from the horses mouth.

I don't have a problem with referencing other works, but it's got to the point of a simple rewrite.

Fight Club: A prototypical, disillusioned male worker with daddy problems has a psychotic break causing him to make an imaginary friend, and this immaginary person pushes him to destroy all debt records to set everyone free to have a fresh start. In order to do this they start an undetground club that collects members who band together to accomplish this task, who are not totally in the know regarding the immaginary friend. In the process one of the main members of thr club is shot in the head and dies. There is a woman who has a very close relationship to the main character, who is central to plot development, who is portrayed as being very antisocial and rowdy.

I could go on. Sound familiar?
You're missing the point. The mode of operation is defined in the BIOS, and these parts have been deliberately disabled. Whilst in theory it's true that Debian could potentially release a version in the future at present due to delibrate crippling in the BIOS (changed firmware to disable features) one can not even workaround this.

Acer used to do something somewhat similar on some Aspire models (disabling option to enable Vx at BIOS) so using VirtualBox was a no starting, but with some creativity and long winded efi vars mounting and fiddling you could get it working or break your system, not soldering though :)

I'd be interested to see how it pans out Lenovo community admins are worse than Acer community. At least with Dell I find a few engineer on Twitter and ping them..

I agree that pen and paper is the best way to keep notes, logs, etc., and I'd add that I think the second best way is text files. I use text files for my todo list, calendar, journal, and for other similar needs.

In my experience the simplicity of these methods dramatically lowers the cognitive barriers in motivating oneself to keep notes and logs. You'll never have to worry about migrating between platforms or TextFiles, Inc. going out of business. And you can use your own processing tools for editing, scripting, syncing and so on.

> There's been some literature lately about people trusting their doctors/lawyers/etc. more when that person reveals that they have a conflict of interest. A similar backfire effect could well occur here.

A file stating that an accusation was false isn't admitting doubts or uncertainty, though, and it's that admission that leads people to trust advisors more when they reveal conflicts of interest. That file is flatly and loudly stating that the accusation was false.

I have to say, though...when I was younger and taking a "roundabout" route to my career (to put it one way), I was a lot more interested in all sorts of work. Gig work, freelance, starting something small with a friend fixing computers or DJing or whatever.

I think at least for me, while there's definitely some appeal in that sort of work, I was more interested when I wasn't making any headway in finding a "jobby job". Basically, I was much more willing to hustle when I didn't have other options but when given the choice between stability and a more self-directed, sink or swim route, I chose the former.

That's not to say I won't eventually feel differently. It's just the case for my recent past/present.
